Each stage will be divided into 9 levels.
**Enlightenment (启蒙 - Qiǎomíng):**
This stage is the beginning and doesn't carry any special power, but cultivators gain access to energy – Qi. At this stage, one only needs to cultivate their energy to a certain point. When you feel full, it means you have reached the required end.
Lifespan: 150 years
**Foundation Building (筑基 - Zhù jī):**
After gaining access to Qi, cultivators need to strengthen their energy in the dantian and eliminate impurities. Physical training is also necessary to bring the body to a certain level. When both Qi and the body are strengthened, a breakthrough occurs.
Lifespan: 350 years
**Qi Condensation (凝气 - Níng qì):**
At this stage, one needs to gather all the obtained Qi and focus on purification more attentively than before. It's necessary to increase Qi to a certain amount, and when you feel a strange sense of excitement coming out of nowhere, immediately start gathering energy and forming the core.
Lifespan: 520 years
