Grand Desolate World

Most of the action took place in the Grand Desolate World.

“The Grand Desolate World is divided into the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Wastelands. The center of the four wastelands is known as the Central Plains. As for the boundless sea region that connects the four wastelands, it is called the Four Seas. The Four Seas is extremely mysterious. Even the powerful race who controls the Four Seas, the Dragon Race, does not have full knowledge of the Four Seas."

The following factions are active there:
 * Kunlun Mountain, located in the Western Wasteland
 * Dragon Race of the Four Seas
 * Demon Race, located in the Northern Wasteland
 * Heavenly Human Race, Central Plains
 * Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race, Central Plains
 * Underground’s Devils, Southern Wasteland
 * Magus Immortals of Mount Numinous, Southern Wasteland
 * Ba Country, Western Wasteland
 * Bu Family of the Central Plains
 * Giant Spirit Race of the Eastern Wasteland
 * Qilin Race, East Wasteland
 * Barbarians if the Northern Wasteland

From time to time, the factions sent their more gifted disciples to the Witchcloud Gathering, where the younger generation met each other and competed.

Places in Western Wasteland

Beings
Many of the non-human beings could change their shape into human or human-like figures. That included:
 * Dragons
 * Qiong Qi -- fierce humanoid beasts, related to Demons

The Heavenly Spirit Race were born with a natural affinity with heaven and earth and could could calm all violent affairs. Violent winds, huge waves, devastating lightning, violent power, and raging heart demons. Wherever they were stationed, it was usually the best place for cultivation. They also resist the influence of evil spirits.

The Dragon Race, Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race, and Qilin Race were all connate lifeforms. They were races that had come into the world the same time as this world was created.

The appearance of Ba Country was an accident. The Ghost Qi had changed the living beings there. That was how Ba Country came about.
