"That white mist is called 'ominous breath,' usually only found in the extreme landscapes of Fierce Mountain. It's as if it's a foul breath exhaled by some great evil, specifically affecting a person's primordial spirit..."
Fang Changle indeed lived up to being a disciple of Maoshan, knowledgeable and experienced.
In fact, 'ominous breath' comes in many forms. Some only cause hallucinations in the primordial spirit, trapping it in the outer scenery. Without external interference, it's hard to break free, forever trapped in the deep mountains until death.
Some continuously strip and devour the power of the primordial spirit, becoming nourishment for the ominous breath, strengthening the mountain.
Maoshan indeed houses many different types of 'ominous breath,' all captured by Maoshan ancestors from various fierce mountains around the world, sealed with the Upper Qing Talismanic Technique, and kept at Maoshan.
Generally, when disciples reach a certain age, they can witness them.
