Bloodline::
bloodline relates to when a human has a transcendent being— an Antiquity—as an ancestor. Human inevitably will have their Constitution and blood different from humans— even if slightly— and it is such people that could cultivate, improving their bloodline and gaining features depicting it as they slowly make their way to evolution and ascend to the transcendent planes.
Evolution/Bloodline incarnate::
Evolution refers to when a cultivator finally achieves immortality and takes the form depicting their bloodlines. For example, Phiona was a human, but when she achieved immortality, she became a phoenix, with an immortal form in the likeness therefore— due to her having the bloodline—, with higher height and transcendent beauty.
She became a deity and the second ancient phoenix Five thousand years later.
Immortals::

Mortals::
The inhabitants of the plane 'Eardale' were referred to as such. The reason being their short lifespan and weak spirits—which the few strong-spirited ones get to cultivate.
The Orcs and Elves are naturally endowed with strength and power respectively, and may or may not require a bloodline to cultivate their energies, while humans with powerful bloodlines become even more powerful than the aforementioned.
Needless to be mentioned, there are more races in Eardale than aforementioned.
