Jīngshén Shìjiè (精神世界) (The Spiritual World)

The Spiritual World is one of the overlays QīngMǐn when it comes to dimensions. It exists almost similar to a faux realm, but in reality, takes base off the physical living place to an uncanny T. Although, unlike the physical dimension, the spiritual one contains pocketed abysses where only spirit residents are able to enter and leave. The Spiritual is one similar to Limbo for the deceased, neither ascending or descending because of their still intact mortal chains. For newly born spirits, ones that were cultivated out of accumulated qi and possess the vessel of an item, the spirit world is instead their living world, as the Yángjiān is ours.
