The Netherworld Lamplight is one of the divine flames, which, together with the Southern Bright Li Fire and the Samadhi True Fire, make up the three great divine flames of the cultivation world.
Unlike the Samadhi True Fire and the Southern Bright Li Fire, the Netherworld Lamplight is not a fiery male flame of the Yang realm, but rather a female flame of the underworld. Its flames are incomparably cold, arguably the coldest in existence. No wonder Qingqing felt a sense of close, comforting familiarity with this flame. It is likely that all nether ghosts and ghostly entities in the world feel an affinity for the Netherworld Lamplight.
There are also legends stating that the Netherworld Lamplight is intensely poisonous. Once touched by this flame, its toxicity continually erodes the Cultivator's Dantian and sea of divine sense, leading at best to a stagnation in cultivation and at worst to the destruction of both body and soul, barring them from the cycle of reincarnation. Domineering to the extreme, it truly stands as the premier poison of the cultivation world.
