"Hm! Can you explain to me why I leveled up when a disciple leveled up?"
Ning Qi asked without much concern, as he felt good about leveling up.
[Ding! The cultivation of hosts is dependent on the cultivation of direct disciples under the sect. The system knows what the host is thinking all the time, but it advises the host not to think too much. Host-only cultivation occurs when a sect's disciple levels up or when the system grants leveling rewards.]
The system said in a monotone, cold voice, shattering Ning Qi's fantasy.
The reality is as the system said after seeing the astral qi cultivation technique, which can only be cultivated by the disciples.
Ning Qi had irrational thoughts that the system would grant him an even better cultivation technique, one that was above the Divine grade.
"Oh! Then whenever a direct disciple levels up, I will also level up. Isn't that a bit too powerful?"
Ning Qi said this with an excited face.
[Not what the host expected! As each realm is upgraded, the experience required to level up will be multiplied by 10. If the host and the disciples are in the same realm, the host will get a 100% bonus from their experience, making the host level up too. But if the host is in an entire major realm away from disciples, the host will get 300 percent of their experience, but the host will still be unable to level up from a single level up from a disciple in the same realm. If the host is two major realms away from disciples, the host will get a 1000 percent bonus from the disciple, but the host will probably need 10 disciples to level up in the first realm to be able to level up a single level.]
[The higher it goes, the harder it is for the host to level up if the disciples in the sect are not keeping up with the sect master. So, the system suggests that the host concentrates on the growth of disciples to make the sect prosper.]
The system probably made the largest speech, as it explained Ning Qi.
"So! the same realm is 100 percent, one major realm away is 300 percent, and two realms away are 1000 percent, and even higher realms will give me an even bigger percentage of XP, but it is harder to level up, huh?"
Ning Qi analyzed what the system explained and thought to himself. He even had an idea of recruiting multiple disciples but saw only three spots available and one already filled.
"Hm! Why is my cultivation system divided into levels? But the disciple's cultivation in the Qi refining system?"
Ning Qi asked with doubt, as he felt his stats were almost the same as those of his disciples. Except that he is not using any cultivation technique... But he can still practice martial arts techniques.
[Ding! The system just simplifies host cultivation. If the host wants, the system can change it to normal cultivation names.]
The system said, making Ning Qi doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright! The next time you display, switch to the normal cultivation process."
Ning Qi continued by asking the next question that concerned him.
"Can you explain to me the cultivation levels in this world? What comes after the Qi refining level? And what realm will come after the next realm, and so on?"
Ning Qi asked excitedly, as he felt that he was slowly digging into all the secrets that many normal people in this world don't even know.
[Ding! The cultivation levels are divided into nine major stages in this world. They are in the order of Qi refining, Foundation establishment, the Golden Core, the Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, True Qi condensation, the Void Realm, Tribulation Transcending, and the Ascension Level.]
The system listed all the levels first and let Ning Qi digest them before proceeding with an explanation.
[Each major realm will raise the strength of cultivators by three times the previous realm peak. The increased strength is all-encompassing, boosting the cultivator's overall stats. As a result, rising through the ranks of a major realm and defeating opponents is extremely difficult... ]
[For example, an average peak level Qi refining level cultivator has a strength of 1000 kg, a speed of 100 m/s, and an intelligence stat of 10. If the host fights such a cultivator, the host has a better chance of winning because his stats are higher than the opponents. But if the host were to fight with a cultivator at Foundation establishment level 1, the host would be utterly defeated.]
[Even against an above-average Qi peak cultivator, the host doesn't have any advantages... as the host's spiritual energy is only a level of Qi refining level 5 (Intelligence 5.2), and that will change even more in the higher realms.]
The system once again provided a detailed explanation of the differences between each cultivation realm as well as his overall strength.
"Please add a note on my personal stats section about my comprehensive overall strength next time."
According to Ning Qi, his trusted system will approximate his overall strength, allowing him to avoid cultivators he is unable to face in the future.
[Ding! The system knows what the host is thinking! Pills are divided into low, medium, high, and top levels in this realm.]
[There are weapons too, same as the pills. But the cultivation and martial techniques are divided into low-level, mystic-level, earth-level, heaven-level, and divine-level techniques]
[As for the above levels in either cultivation, pills, weapons, or techniques. The host doesn't have enough authority to know them, please raise the Sect level to raise authority.]
The system knew that Ning Qi was about to ask more and explained without bothering him to ask the question, as it had already read his mind.
"Oh! That's good to know, hehe!"
Ning Qi laughed a bit. He thought that all his doubts were cleared, but he suddenly thought of a question and asked.
"Hm! System... Are there any ascension realm cultivators on earth?"
He simply inquired because he believed these men were old enough to be his ancestors from the previous 10,000 years, assuming they were still alive on Earth.
[Ding! Hosts don't have to worry... The strongest cultivators on earth at the moment are Void realm cultivators. The system scanned the entire earth before attaching it to the host and found all the details regarding the earth.]
[There was never a cultivator higher than Void realm cultivators on earth...But there is a chance that the current Void realm cultivators can upgrade to the next level, as some of them are pretty talented, even at the universe level.]
The system explained, giving Ning Qi a bit of a scare.
'Void Realm... Damn! Those guys probably won't even be afraid of nukes. It's a good decision that I decided to be low-key. I need to remind Nangong Xu, especially, or else he will cause me unnecessary trouble.' Ning Qi thought to himself.
He finally finished all his questions and has a certain knowledge of the cultivation world.
He knows that he needs strength to survive in this cultivation world, and an abnormal thought or obsession that had been buried deep in his mind slowly started showing up.
His sister and brother... even his wife, he used to be too helpless to do anything about that, but now he has a system.
Even Ning Qi doesn't know, but he has thought about them in the past 3 days, a lot more than he used to think about them in the entire month.
Ning Qi shook his head at their thoughts, as he was still too weak to be able to influence anything. He stood up and slowly walked out of the hall, as it was already getting quite late.
