True Samadhi Fire

History
Tens of thousands of years ago in the realm of cultivators, countless numbers of great saints and powerful masters all had their own understandings of these three flames. Some believed these three true flames were the genesis of sin, and as a consequence they would create three poisons—rage, greed, and ignorance—that were difficult to eliminate and would cause one to commit all manner of atrocious acts. Some of the most well-known sects to hold such beliefs were the Buddhist sects of the past. The reason Buddhist monks were known for their seclusion and inner peace was because they viewed these three poisons as the most vile roots of sin and the source of calamity, so they'd created various techniques and methods in order to eliminate such disastrous evil.

There were also those who believed these three flames were the reason for the human race's prosperity. Wrath allows one to be unafraid and determined even in the face of uneven odds, for example, which was precisely how human cultivators were able to rise even when under harsh dominion by so many beasts and demons. Humans had then gone on to suppress the other races and rule over the world in a single go, allowing them to create Dao that was known today and become the master of all races.

One side wanted to suppress and eliminate the three flames, the other wanted to put them to good use. Their beliefs were fundamentally different and they were as incompatible as water and fire, but the Buddhist sects lost in the end. Buddhism disappeared from the land of Tianyuan after numerous battles and only the Spirit Mountain Temple was left behind, but they weren't the true Buddhism as left behind in the ancient records and were merely wearing the guise of Buddhism when conducting their actions.

In any case, the three flames of the True Samadhi Fire was one of the most mysterious and profound powers of the world.
