The Divine Power of Ten Thousand Forms

The Myriad Forms Divine Art has seven major realms. The first is the Mortal Realm’s Body Tempering Stage, in which the body is tempered and spiritual power clings to the outside of the body for combat, much like martial qi. The second is the Profound Spirit Realm, where spiritual power can be condensed to produce spell damage, and becomes purer in quality. The third is the Earth Origin Realm, where spiritual energy can flow through the whole body to strengthen the spirit, allowing the cultivator to become one with their weapon. Only at this realm can one wield a spirit treasure, which is why every cultivator who reaches it seeks a spirit treasure or magical weapon suited to them. The fourth is the Heavenly Sea Realm, where the sea of consciousness awakens, allowing one to commune with the spirits of all things and perceive Heaven and Earth. Once the sea of consciousness reaches a certain level, the cultivator naturally reaches the bottleneck of the fifth realm, the Transformation Realm. In this realm, spiritual energy and magical power take the lead, with the power of the sea of consciousness as support. One must survive three stages of karmic fire during transformation, each with a different degree of intensity. The early, middle, and late stages each bring an ordeal in which the karmic fire of transformation burns through the body. Most cultivators die before they can get past the early stage; those who reach the Transformation Realm are all elite. The sixth realm, the Tribulation of Death Realm, requires one to withstand nine bolts of tribulation lightning to temper the soul and body. Upon reaching the Great Ascension stage, one can transcend the mortal world. Once one survives the life-and-death trials of both the Transformation Realm and the Tribulation of Death Realm, one can attain a godlike state. That is why the seventh realm is called the Void Dao Realm. It is virtually nonexistent in lower-grade planes. The Void Dao Realm is part of the intermediate realms, and even middle-grade planes see very few cultivators reach it. Upper-grade planes are vast and expansive, rich in resources and overflowing with countless opportunities and fortunes. Beyond the Void Dao Realm are the Profound Dao Realm, the Sacred Dao Realm, the Divine Dao Realm, the True-Breaking Realm, and the Nine-Turn True God Realm. Together, these make up the six intermediate realms. The advanced realms consist of three stages: Divine King, Heavenly Emperor, and Ancient Immortal.
