Qinggong (lightness skills) of two desert-based sects in Chinese wuxia MMORPG JX3: Mingjiao明教 and Yantianzong衍天宗.
Mingjiao(meaning The Radiant/Luminous Cult) draws heavy inspiration from Persian Zoroastrianism, blending elements from Manichaeism and the Assassins (Hashashin) into its lore, and incorporates a wealth of Chinese wuxia elements. Devoted to the worship of light, its fighters are agile and elusive, capable of serving as both tanks and DPS in battle.
Yantianzong(meaning The Astral Arcanum / The Celestial Arcanum), resides deep in the desert at the boundary between the realms of yin and yang. Rooted in the ancient Warring States philosophy of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, this sect observes celestial phenomena, deduces fate, and upholds the laws of heaven. They specialize exclusively in long-range magical damage.
Mingjiao wields dual scimitars, while Yantianzong employs a soul-lantern as their weapon. Most weapons feature standard designs, while many others adopt whimsical and playful concepts — some are crafted to resemble food, like that dessert-themed one.
