This is a cultivation world with nine stages of cultivation.
1. **Mortal Realm (Body Tempering)**
- **Qi Refining Stage**: Draw spiritual energy into the body and temper the meridians, slightly extending one's lifespan (120-150 years).
- **Foundation Establishment Stage**: Spiritual energy becomes liquid, transforming the body and allowing one to abstain from food and control magical artifacts (lifespan: 200-300 years).
- **Golden Core Stage**: Condense a golden core, awaken the first divine abilities, and fly through the air (lifespan: 500-800 years).
2. **Spirit Realm (Transformation of the Soul)**
- **Nascent Soul Stage**: The golden core transforms into a nascent soul; the primordial spirit becomes indestructible, and severed limbs can regenerate (lifespan: over a thousand years).
- **Deity Transformation Stage**: The nascent soul transforms into a deity, communing with heaven and earth as one's domain begins to take shape (lifespan: 3,000 years).
- **Void Refinement Stage**: Refine the Dao in the void, create countless clones, and glimpse the laws of the universe (lifespan: nearly 10,000 years).
Each stage before Void Refinement has nine levels. Each stage after Void Refinement has three levels.
3. **Immortal Realm (Transcending Reincarnation)**
- **Body Integration Stage**: Unite the primordial spirit and physical body, able to shake mountains and rivers with a gesture.
- **Great Ascension Stage**: The harbinger of tribulation and ascension, when one comprehends the origin of the Great Dao.
- **Tribulation Transcendence Stage**: Face the test of nine heavenly tribulations. Failure means death and the destruction of one's Dao, or cultivating as a rogue immortal instead.
In the vast world known as the Nine Heavens Realm, countless sects, clans, and mysterious forces exist. The Nine Heavens Realm is divided into nine layers, each with unique rules and resources. The strong rule, while the weak can only struggle to survive.
