Spiritual Pulses fall into four categories and four grades:
Beast, Elemental, War and Mysterious for the categories. Low, mid, high, and peerless for the grades.
With Beast Pulses being the most accessible of all four, most human cultivators settled for them, using their Beast Pulses to reinforce their fleshly bodies and enhance their battle prowess. Spirits on the other hand had an easier time condensing Elemental Pulses, using them to magnify their bloodline abilities and become the most dominant forces of their respective elements. This made Beast and Elemental Pulses the most common Spiritual Pulses in the cultivation world.
War Pulses encompassed swords, spears, drums, zithers—all the weapons and instruments that one could think of. As a reference, the Peerless Sword Embryo hidden in Chun Xu's Nameless Sword contained the method used by the Nameless Sword Emperor to condense his Peerless Sword Pulse.
