Record of Ascension from the Mortal Realm

[No System + No Female Lead] Cultivators in the mortal realm cultivate their bodies and nourish their meridians by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Their cultivation is divided into seven major realms, each with four levels: early, middle, late, and peak. To break through, one must comprehend "spiritual energy nodes." Since spiritual energy is scarce in the mortal realm, breakthroughs become increasingly difficult at higher levels. The realms are: Body Tempering, Qi Gathering, Meridian Condensation, Astral Force Transformation, Half-Step Worldbreaking, Worldbreaking, and Tribulation Crossing.
