The Cultivation practiced by the people of the East wasn't exactly a different source of power.
That was a common misconception among those born outside those territories. When they heard about cultivators, internal energy, Dantians, meridians, and refinement methods, many imagined some kind of force completely separate from the mana used by the rest of the world. In reality, it was still mana. The difference lay in how the Eastern peoples had learned to absorb it, refine it, and circulate it throughout their bodies.
Every race possessed natural advantages in this regard.
