This stage focuses on developing physical resilience, endurance, and health, often involving extreme physical training or specialized techniques to enhance bodily functions.

The energy from each chakra is integrated into a unified force, which enhances the cultivator's overall strength and spiritual capabilities, marking a deeper connection between the body and the soul.

The soul becomes more resistant to external influences, and mental powers are sharpened, giving the cultivator greater control over their spiritual energy.
7. Elemental Harmonization Realm: At this level, the cultivator aligns their body and mind with the five basic elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Spirit) or any other elemental system. They are able to manifest and manipulate elemental forces with great precision and can channel these elements as tools or weapons.
8. Dao Comprehension Realm: The cultivator gains profound insights into the Dao, reaching a deeper understanding of the natural world and its interconnectedness. This leads to a powerful increase in spiritual perception and the ability to manipulate the forces of the universe with greater mastery.

They are not only masters of their own realm but also influence the Dao itself, capable of shaping reality, controlling the flow of Qi, and maintaining cosmic balance. Their power is almost god-like, and they can govern multiple realms, exerting vast influence over the spiritual and physical planes.
