章節 11: Info Dump-1 (Qi-Cultivation)

In this universe when living beings gained intelligence the first thing they did was to make sure they survive.

It was the only time when every living beings were united for survival.

But that unity did not last long as they gained more intelligence. When they confirmed their survival and safety they started having their own opinions.

As a result people began to group with similar like minded people. They wanted to make other group listen to their own opinions. But the same went with other groups.

Slowly all the groups started to clash. From peaceful negotiations to arguments to debates and finally settling for violence.

Violence. It was then they came to know that if they wanted other groups to make them follow their own opinions then they need power.

Yes, the ideology changed from 'listen' to 'follow'.

Power. They wanted power. That started from connection. Anyone with a massive range of connections were said to be powerhouses.

But that did not last long when the concept of 'Bribery' came into being. Some would betray their own groups for money

The concept of power changed from 'connection' to 'money'. Business and war went hand in hand.

But that did not stop evolution. Money can bribe. But strength can kill. That was when violence escalated.

People wanted more strength so they started working out. They used their bloodline and Physiques. But then everyone's strength improved and again they were at the same level.

(Author Note: Wait for more info dumps to know about bloodline and Physiques xD)

And it was at this time when a genius popped up. No one knows who he is. No one knows where he came from. But what he provided the universe changed the very direction of the 'survival'

The cultivation techniques. The techniques which first showed the usage of energy known as Qi.

He explained the beginning of cultivation starts from Qi condensation where you absorb qi from the universe and refine your body. After 12 steps they reach a threshold and then they breakthrough to foundation establishment.

After another 12 steps of foundation establishment comes core formation. The stage where they start storing Qi. Cores of golden color should be formed but it proved difficult.

So the genius broke the core formation into 3 realms Mortal core which should be bronze in color, Heaven core which should be silver in color and Divine core which should be golden in color. Each core stage is further divided into 3 steps early, mid and peak.

After that comes Spirit realm which is again similarly divided similarly as Core formation stage. Spirit Formation, Spirit manipulation and spirit synchronisation. Further divided into early, mid and peak.

In spirit Formation realm the cultivator needs form a stable spirit (soul). In the next stage he can manipulate the spirit inside his body for spirit attacks.

Any Spirit manipulation stage experts can defeat hundreds of spirit Formation realm due to the fundamental change of the stage. In spirit synchronisation stage one needs to stable the spirit for the next realm.

Once you reach the peak of spirit synchronisation stage you break through the Soul Formation. In this one should first form Nascent soul first. This stage has 7 steps.

A nascent soul can easily leave a body and roam the world. Similarly once you form a nascent soul, even if your flesh of the body is destroyed you can still live by overtaking someone's soul who is weaker than your soul.

But a nascent soul is vulnerable. If anyone can see a nascent soul then they can devour it to become strong. Even spirit synchronisation stage experts can defeat a nascent soul without a flesh easily if they are able to see it.

Thus this lead to Combat soul stage which is a 2nd half of Soul Formation stage. Similar to nascent soul this has 7 steps. Once a combat soul is formed no one weaker than the realm generally should not be able to defeat him.

There are exceptions like soul treasures, special bloodline and many more which can defeat Combat soul realms even if the others are at Nascent soul but those cases are rare.

The 7th step of the Combat soul though is one of the major stop for most of the cultivators.

One needs the approval of the universe to further your cultivation stage. Because above combat soul can be said to be the 'true powerhouses'. The stage known as Supremo.

Supremo Realm is further divided into 4 major parts. Minor saint, Dao king, Great saint and Dao emperor.

One can be called Minor saint when you touch the Dao of universe and one can be called as Dao king when he can borrow the power of dao from universe.

Even if one can borrow the power of dao from universe you suffer backlashes and can be heavily injured. But when one reaches Great saint even if they are injured they can recover by consuming pills or few days of rest.

When one reaches Dao emperor you can simply borrow Dao from the universe without any backlash. Though one has to offer something to the universe to borrow Dao but this 'offer' is only given to Dao emperor stage.

Author Note: *sigh* this was scary... Having each stage describing their advantages is pretty scary 😭😭.
