Chapter 18 - Author’s Note: Understanding the Path of Cultivation

Dear Readers,

In this world of cultivation, power is attained through the refinement of both body and qi. To help you better understand the progression system in this novel, I have detailed the cultivation stages below.

Body Refinement Stages (Strengthening the Mortal Body)

Before one can truly cultivate qi, they must first strengthen their body. These stages prepare a cultivator for the immense energy they will wield in the future.

1.Skin Fortification Realm – Toughens the skin to withstand damage

2.Muscle Tempering Realm – Enhances muscle fibers for greater strength.

3.Bone Hardening Realm – Strengthens bones for durability.

4.Blood Vitalization Realm – Increases agility and stamina by improving blood circulation.

5.Five Viscera Refinement Realm – Strengthens internal organs to increase qi absorption.

6.Marrow Purification Realm – Boosts vitality and natural healing.

7.Meridian Expansion Realm – Opens and expands qi pathways for smoother energy flow.

Once the body is refined, a cultivator can begin absorbing and manipulating qi.

Qi Cultivation Stages (Harnessing and Refining Qi)

After body refinement, cultivators enter the true path of qi cultivation.

1. Qi Absorption Realm – Learns to sense and absorb qi from nature.

2. Qi Gathering Realm – Stores qi in the dantian, creating a reserve for future use.

3. Qi Circulation Realm – Begins circulating qi throughout the body, strengthening internal flow.

4. Qi Refining Realm – Purifies and refines qi, increasing potency.

5. Qi Condensation Realm – Begins compressing qi into a denser form for better efficiency.

6. Qi Core Formation Realm – Forms a liquid qi core, stabilizing energy reserves.

7. Qi Foundation Establishment Realm – Lays the groundwork for higher cultivation by solidifying control over internal qi.

8. Qi Manifestation Realm – Externalizes qi, allowing energy-based attacks and manipulation.

9. Qi Solidification Realm – Hardens qi for stronger defenses and offensive techniques.

10. Qi Ocean Realm – Expands qi capacity, allowing larger and more powerful energy reserves.

11. Qi Transformation Realm – Qi evolves, taking on unique properties based on the cultivator's nature.

3. Core & Soul Development Stages (Breaking the Mortal Limits of Qi Cultivation)

Once a cultivator fully refines their qi, they must evolve it further to reach greater power.

1. Core Formation Realm – Condenses refined qi into a solid core, increasing energy density.

2. Golden Core Realm – Enhances the core with pure qi, making it nearly unbreakable.

3. Core Perfection Realm – Polishes the golden core to its peak state, maximizing efficiency.

4. Nascent Soul Formation Realm – Forms a spiritual avatar from qi, greatly enhancing mental and spiritual power.

5. Nascent Soul Growth Realm – Strengthens the nascent soul, making it more independent.

6. Nascent Soul Perfection Realm – Reaches the peak of nascent soul cultivation, allowing partial soul detachment.

This is just a brief overview of the cultivation path in this novel. As you follow the protagonist's journey, you'll see the challenges, breakthroughs, and battles that come with each stage. I hope you enjoy the story and the world I've built!
