Chapter 3 - Cultivation Started

He went home. 

Not knowing how to make a decision, he looked at his father. 

Once again, he went to his room, locked the door. Meditate. 

Went into the locket realm. 

Call for sheng

Mr. Shang…..hellooooo Mr. shang.

Handsome man appeared. 

You are shang? You look strong. How did you end up here in my spiritual realm?

What are you up to yin?

As Yin wants to learn some skills to defeat Bohang in the coming three months, he promised him he will do whatever he says. 

Sheng demands to go to the northwest region when he reaches second level 5 star.

Yin promised him.

Next day both went to the shore side, looking for a small space so that no one could see.

Sheng says 

Be my disciple, I will teach you many kinds of techniques. 

There are 3 different techniques

1- soul realms breathing technique

2- earth realms cultivating technique

3- heaven realms technique

Upon hearing this, he agreed to be his disciple.

Upon thin air, in the form of soul, sheng came out. Stretched his body.

" waa,... after many years, i am able to see the beautiful sun" 

"Master, can you explain each type of technique for their uses, and what technique you use"? 

"Hahaha"

"In the world of cultivation, techniques are categorized by realms, each corresponding to different levels of mastery and stages of growth.

These techniques focus on harnessing and refining the cultivator's Qi (life force energy), and each realm represents a progression from the basic manipulation of energy to more advanced, otherworldly powers."

"1. Soul Realm Breathing Technique

The Soul Realm represents the first stage of cultivation, where cultivators begin their journey to mastering their spiritual energy.

This realm deals primarily with the cultivation of the spirit and mind.

It focuses on stabilizing and refining one's inner energy and improving mental clarity. 

Purpose: The primary goal of Soul Realm cultivation is to strengthen the soul, increase spiritual awareness, and lay the foundation for controlling Qi.

At this stage, the body is still not strong enough to perform powerful feats of martial arts, so the cultivator's focus is on the mind and spirit.

Breathing Techniques: In the Soul Realm, cultivators learn to control their breath, as breath control is the key to manipulating Qi. Proper breathing enhances the flow of energy throughout the body and helps stabilize the mind.

A cultivator will use deep, slow, and controlled breaths to synchronize the flow of Qi and strengthen the soul.

Meditation and Mindfulness: Practitioners spend hours in meditation, focusing their mind on the natural rhythm of their breathing, seeking to align their soul with the flow of the universe.

This helps them sharpen their senses, increase their spiritual awareness, and connect to the world around them. The technique promotes mental clarity, balance, and tranquility.

Soul Realm Breathing Techniques Basic Breathing: Cultivators begin with the practice of slow, deep breathing, focusing on inhaling and exhaling with intent. Each breath is meant to synchronize the mind and body, allowing Qi to circulate smoothly.

Visualization: While breathing, the practitioner visualizes Qi flowing through their meridians (energy pathways) and circulating in their dantian (the body's energy center). This helps to build the foundation of internal Qi control.

Soul Refining: The deeper a cultivator moves into the Soul Realm, the more they refine their energy. At advanced stages, they may learn to use the breath to communicate with their spirit or to send spiritual energy into their surroundings.

This process enhances their ability to perceive energy in all things, which is vital for future stages of cultivation.

The goal of the Soul Realm Breathing Technique is to cultivate a deep, calm state of mind and spirit, creating a stable foundation for further advancement. 

2. Earth Realm Cultivation Technique

The Earth Realm is the another stage of cultivation. Establishing spiritual balance, cultivators move to the Earth Realm, where they focus on the physical body and energy manipulation.

This stage is centered around the strengthening of the body and the refining of Qi into usable power.

Purpose: The Earth Realm focuses on harmonizing the physical body with Qi. In this realm, cultivators learn to enhance their physical strength, agility, and endurance by channeling Qi throughout their bodies.

This is also the stage where martial techniques are perfected, and combat skills begin to emerge.

Qi Circulation: Cultivators learn how to circulate Qi more effectively throughout their body, moving it from the dantian and through the meridians, activating each part of the body.

By doing this, they increase their physical vitality, boost endurance, and gain the ability to manifest basic elemental powers (like fire or water) in combat.

Energy Gathering: At the Earth Realm, cultivators can begin absorbing Qi from the surrounding environment, from the earth itself, or from the heavens above.

This allows them to gradually build up more Qi reserves, which they can then use for physical techniques, such as attacks or defensive moves.

The Earth Realm cultivator can also manipulate elemental forces like earth, water, wind, or fire to enhance their martial abilities.

Earth Realm Cultivation Techniques Qi Flowing through Meridians: In the Earth Realm, the primary technique involves learning how to move Qi efficiently through the body.

A cultivator will meditate, focusing on each meridian and carefully guiding Qi to strengthen their muscles, bones, and organs.

This improves their overall health, vitality, and physical capabilities.

Energy Amplification: As Qi moves through the body, cultivators learn to focus and amplify energy in specific areas.

For example, they might concentrate energy in their fists, allowing them to make more powerful strikes, or channel energy through their legs for increased speed and agility.

Physical Transformation: By continuously circulating and refining Qi, cultivators begin to refine their physical body. This may manifest in improved senses (hearing, sight, smell), heightened reflexes, and enhanced strength.

The body itself becomes more attuned to the cultivation process and can even begin to absorb natural energy from the world around them to replenish their Qi reserves.

Elemental Control: In the Earth Realm, cultivators can start to experiment with basic elemental powers. They might learn to manipulate fire, wind, or even the earth beneath their feet.

A cultivator might summon a small flame to attack or use earth to create barriers for defense.

The goal of the Earth Realm Cultivation Technique is to refine the body and allow it to channel and manifest the energy of the Earth, solidifying the cultivator's foundation in both spiritual and physical power.

3. Heaven Realm Technique

The Heaven Realm represents the third and most advanced stage of cultivation. It is the stage where cultivators ascend from merely physical existence into true transcendence. In this realm, cultivators manipulate Qi.

Key Characteristics: Purpose: The Heaven Realm technique is focused on transcendence, mastery over both the physical and spiritual worlds,

At this stage, cultivators have achieved a perfect balance between body, mind, and soul. this technique can manipulate natural laws, and even alter the fabric of reality.

Divine Energy: In the Heaven Realm, cultivators can begin to harness divine or celestial energy, also known as Tian Qi (Heaven Qi).

 They can manipulate space, time, and the laws of nature, and they often gain the ability to control powerful natural elements, such as thunder, lightning, and even the very fabric of reality.

For that only people having strong mental power can cultivate and it takes 50 years to cultivate.

Power of the Heavens: Cultivators in the Heaven Realm are able to transcend mortal limitations. Their bodies become like divine vessels, able to store and channel unimaginable amounts of Qi.

At this stage, cultivators can even summon Heavenly Beasts—sacred creatures of immense power that serve as both companions and sources of strength.

Heaven Realm Techniques Heavenly Breathing: The technique of breathing at the Heaven Realm is far beyond what was practiced in the Soul and Earth Realms.

This technique involves breathing in the purest essence of the heavens, drawing in the celestial Qi that surrounds the world. With each breath, the cultivator fills their body with divine energy, amplifying their own spiritual and physical power.

This technique allows them to stay in harmony with the universe, opening their senses to the subtle energies of existence.

Heavenly Awakening: The cultivator enters a state of Heavenly Awakening, where they can connect with the universal energies of the world and even the laws of time and space.

This grants them temporary omniscient knowledge, allowing them to see past, present, and future events.

During this state, they can also wield extraordinary powers such as controlling time for short durations or even teleporting across vast distances.

Celestial Martial Arts: At this stage, cultivators have unlocked the highest martial techniques, capable of summoning the power of the cosmos in their combat.

For instance, a Heaven Realm cultivator could create thunderous lightning strikes with their fists, summon celestial winds to attack enemies, or even manipulate gravity to disorient and crush their foes.

techniques require immense amounts of Qi and are often used as the ultimate offensive or defensive moves.

Immortal Body: Cultivators at the Heaven Realm are able to achieve an immortal body that is no longer subject to the natural decay of age or illness.

The body becomes more ethereal, able to regenerate from near-fatal wounds, and they often gain the ability to live for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, as they ascend towards divinity.

The goal of the Heaven Realm Technique is the ultimate mastery of Qi, space, time, and the laws of nature itself. It is the stage where cultivators move beyond human limitations, reaching for divine and cosmic power.

Soul Realm Breathing Techniques focus on spiritual growth, mental clarity, and Qi control through breathing and meditation. once you master you can become descendent of God.

Some ancient people use this technique to conquer the country and sect.

 Earth Realm Cultivation Techniques refine the physical body, improve martial skills, and begin the manipulation of elemental forces and Qi. it has godlike power.

Heaven Realm Techniques transcend the physical and spiritual limits, tapping into divine energy, elemental control, and the manipulation of space and time, leading toward immortality and god-like powers.

But this cultivation takes more than 50 years to master it.

Each realm builds upon the last, with cultivators gradually increasing their understanding and control over the forces of nature, eventually leading them to a state of godhood or transcendence "

"what do you want to choose "?

"I will choose, heaven realm technique" 

Alright, as I chose this technique, I hope to overcome any challenges but I need to be strong. 

Since the master had given him, he will start teaching the skills. 

"let me see if you can cultivate this technique" 

"You have to gather your spiritual mana, for that you have to meditate. "

As I meditate, I see 1 star around my spiritual realm.

"Master, why is there 1 star around my spiritual realm and what does it do "?

"Once you reach the energy limit, you have to go through a breakthrough. After a breakthrough, there will be a new star. 

Increasing star means you also become strong. "

I meditated for 3 days.
