    ① Taoist Cultivation Stages: 1. Mortal Stage: Early Mortal Stage → Middle Mortal Stage → Late Mortal Stage → Great Perfection of Mortal Stage. Just as mortal tools and medicines have different levels of value, people are also classified into different classes. Each person is born with different meridians, bones, and dantian (energy centers) (divided into three qualities: innate, intermediate, and acquired). Mortals must first temper their bones and strengthen their physical body as a foundation, then use various schools of thought as guidance to pave a direction for their future cultivation. Those with innate meridians are superior to others and can condense qi with a little guidance from their master; those with intermediate meridians are slightly inferior, but can condense qi with diligent practice; however, those with acquired meridians are the worst, with a small dantian space, making cultivation extremely difficult without extraordinary perseverance. Each of the three qualities has four stages (early, middle, late, and great perfection). Cultivating to great perfection within one's own quality allows for qi condensation and further cultivation. A person in the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm can climb Mount Tai as easily as walking on flat ground; a person in the late-stage of the Mortal Realm can fly over cliffs and cross rivers; a person in the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm can be a great general who dies on the battlefield, single-handedly taking on ten thousand, or a top assassin who is popular on forums. 2. Qi Condensation Stage: Qi Condensation Stage 14 or even higher [Spiritual Consciousness Ten Miles] Can refine Yellow-grade spirit stones, fly on swords, use the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), fly over rooftops and walls, and possess Yellow-grade pills and magical artifacts. Qi Condensation is an essential path to immortality, whether cultivating Taoism, demonism, or circulating spiritual or immortal energy. Qi Condensation into the Dantian is an essential path, requiring the drawing of spiritual energy from the whole body into the body, opening all the meridians and concentrating it in the Dantian to cultivate oneself, and being able to circulate the five elements of heaven and earth (metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, darkness, light, wind, thunder, rain, ice, snow, frost) to gradually shed the mortal body. This not only allows one to circulate various magical artifacts and protect the body with true essence, but also allows one to fly on swords. The power of Qi circulation within the body can be divided into fourteen realms. The higher the realm, the faster one can fly on a sword, the stronger the power of the magic technique, and the more light one's body becomes when circulating Qi throughout the body. One can walk on water, leap across rooftops, and move by controlling Qi. Reaching the fourteenth level of Qi Condensation is the peak of Qi circulation, when the body's meridians are unobstructed and the dantian's capacity reaches the limit of human beings. The higher the Qi Condensation realm, the longer one's lifespan. Each level gained grants a hundred years of lifespan. The tenth floor can be called a genius; the eleventh floor can be called a prodigy; the twelfth floor can be one in ten thousand; the thirteenth floor can be unparalleled in the world; the fourteenth floor is one in a million years; the fifteenth floor is unprecedented and unparalleled, never heard of before… Reaching the peak of this realm allows one to cultivate the next realm. 3. Foundation Establishment Stage: Early stage: Forming the Qi Sea → Mid-stage: Establishing the Spirit Platform → Late stage: Creating the Spirit Cauldron [Spiritual Consciousness within a Hundred Miles] Can refine Xuan-grade spirit stones, marking the opening of cave heavens, liquid spiritual energy, foundation building, spirit platform, foundation building, elixir cauldron, mortal god, Xuan-grade pills, magic weapons. Foundation stage cultivators can fly and escape into the earth, summon wind and rain, even shatter mountains, reverse the flow of rivers, and shake the earth. Ten small cave heavens are formed outside the body. If these ten small cave heavens are gathered into one large cave heaven, it will be an unprecedented and unparalleled creation heaven and earth, a cave heaven like a black hole in the starry sky, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot escape its capture. • In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, the dantian within the body forms a sea of qi, significantly increasing the capacity and speed of spiritual energy absorption. This is the foundation of cultivation and can also be called a spiritual root. • In the middle stages of Foundation Establishment, the spiritual energy in the dantian is liquefied, compressed, and condensed into liquid spiritual energy at a high concentration, making the energy even purer. This energy is then solidified into a physical form, establishing a spiritual platform. This spiritual platform is divided into four grades, with the first grade being the highest. Through the spiritual platform, a continuous stream of spiritual energy can be refined to enhance the power of spells. • In the late stages of Foundation Establishment, depending on the quality of the spiritual platform, the cultivation method, and one's own inherent foundation, a pill cauldron can be created. Pill cauldrons are divided into four grades: blue, purple, red, and gold. This is the prerequisite for refining a golden elixir within the body. The higher the grade of the pill cauldron, the higher the quality of the golden elixir formed during the tribulation. 4. Golden Core Stage: Initial Stage: Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation → Mid-Stage: Six-Nine Wind and Fire Tribulation → Late-Stage: Mortal World Heart Tribulation [Spiritual sense can cover thousands of miles, even ordinary asteroids] Can refine Earth-grade spirit stones. Marked with a Golden Core back ring and forehead mark. Invincible in the mortal world. Earth-grade pills and spiritual artifacts. This stage is a major watershed, after all, it is the difficulty of swallowing a Golden Core and breaking through the gate of life and death. It is about fighting against fate. Each minor stage requires passing a tribulation. Similarly, the gap between minor stages is also very large. Only after reaching the Golden Core stage can one be considered to have gotten rid of the title of ant. One can have a certain status in any place, or one can establish a sect and set up one's own business. Lifespan also increases to one thousand years, which can be considered a glimpse of the way to immortality. Advancing to the early stage of the Golden Core realm requires enduring twenty-seven bolts of heavenly punishment lightning. Not only must one bear the pain of this punishment, but one must also refine the Golden Core within the spiritual cauldron created during the Foundation Establishment stage. This requires gathering all the spiritual energy accumulated throughout the body into the cauldron, solidifying it, and then integrating it into the Golden Core body. It's not that longer refining time equates to better quality; rather, it depends on the cultivator's mental fortitude, endurance, and foundation. The Golden Core is divided into nine grades, with the first grade being the highest. Cultivators at the Golden Core True Person level possess the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, utilizing the power of the universe to easily perform feats like moving mountains and filling seas. Furthermore, their spiritual sense transforms into divine sense, becoming impervious to attacks within a thousand miles, able to perceive even the slightest dust movement, and impossible to conceal with any concealment technique. Advancing to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm requires overcoming the tribulations of cold winds and raging fires. The combination of wind and fire, with fire born of wind yet also mutually destructive, greatly increases the difficulty. Failure can result in anything from a shattered Golden Core and complete destruction of cultivation to being frozen and incinerated, leading to death. Advancing to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm also requires venturing into the mortal world to see through one's own inner conflicts, constantly perfecting one's Dao heart, achieving clarity and naturalness of thought. Only after truly perfecting one's Dao heart can one be qualified to face the Void Lightning Tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage; otherwise, there is no possibility of forming a Nascent Soul in this lifetime. This mortal world tribulation is not as fierce and domineering as other heavenly tribulations; instead, it forces cultivators to follow their true nature. If one's mind is focused and one sees through the illusions of the mortal world, one's cultivation will be perfected; if one's mind is elsewhere, detached from worldly affairs, and fails to confront one's true nature, one will never achieve perfect cultivation and will have no hope of forming a Nascent Soul. 5. Nascent Soul Stage (Elder): Early stage: Nine-Nine Void Thunder Tribulation → Mid-stage: Life and Death Profound Tribulation → Late-stage: Heart Demon Dao Tribulation [Spiritual consciousness can cover ten thousand miles, fully covering the Earth's area, which has a diameter of 12,000 kilometers]. Can refine Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones, allowing the Nascent Soul to leave the body and walk in the air, comprehend the laws of space, and obtain Heavenly Grade Pills and Spiritual Artifacts. This realm is also a major tribulation that must be experienced at each minor realm. It is also about fighting against fate and being disliked by the Heavenly Dao. When a Nascent Soul stage cultivator reaches the level of a sect patriarch, they can walk in the air, move ten thousand miles, comprehend the meaning of life and death, and emit a domain. They deserve the title of strongman, and their lifespan increases to sixty Jiazi, totaling three thousand six hundred years. Advancing to the early stage of the Nascent Soul requires venturing into the endless void to trigger the eighty-one Void Lightning Tribulations of the Nine-Nine Heavens, shattering the core to form the Nascent Soul. There is a more than 90% chance of perishing in the heavenly lightning, with both body and soul destroyed, true spirit dissipated, unable to enter reincarnation, and completely perishing. However, if one successfully advances to the Nascent Soul stage, one will comprehend the Dao of Space, able to tear through the void and traverse space. A single step can cross thousands of mountains and rivers, which is the so-called Great Shift of Heaven and Earth. It can also be used to fight enemies. Below the Nascent Soul stage, one is invincible. A single palm can easily contain thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and a wave of the palm can wipe out an entire vast mountain range. One can also directly open up the Myriad Forms of Heaven and Earth within the body, which can contain all things. Even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the Nascent Soul is not destroyed, one can escape into the void in an instant, re-possess another body, or obtain an opportunity to reshape the physical body. Advancing to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm requires undergoing the Tribulation of Life and Death, which generates boundless death energy that continuously burns away life force until death and the Dao dissipates. A chance to survive this near-death experience is needed. Because a nascent Nascent Soul form easily develops within the body in the early stages, and as long as the Nascent Soul doesn't die, the form and spirit remain intact. Therefore, even if one perishes during the Tribulation of Life and Death, it doesn't matter if one cannot be possessed. At worst, one can cultivate as a Loose Immortal, although this Loose Immortal realm is divided into twenty-four levels, and most cultivators spend their entire lives merely eking out a living in this realm, never seeing the light of day. However, after reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, one can draw upon the Qi of the Nine Heavens at any time, empowering oneself, making the true essence within one's Qi Sea nearly inexhaustible, as if moving the sun and earth. • Upon advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage, a physical inner demon will split off. This inner demon is born from the cultivator's desires and obsessions. It will try to divide everything with the original owner and fight for control of the physical body. If it fails, the physical body will be taken over by the inner demon, which will devour the original owner's soul and flesh. From then on, the inner demon will replace everything, leading to the fall into the demonic path and the loss of the human body. If it succeeds, the physical demon can be refined into one's own Dharma body. From then on, the form is born from the heart, the Dao is perfected, and the Dharma body of heaven and earth is synthesized, with supernatural powers and magic power increasing exponentially. 6. Nascent Soul Stage (Sect Master/Immortal): Early stage: Fate Tribulation → Mid-stage: External Avatar → Late-stage: Proving Dao with Magical Treasures [Spiritual Consciousness upgrades to Divine Consciousness, capable of covering most stars] Can refine primary cosmic spirit stones, marking Nascent Soul, creating a small true body of heaven and earth, comprehending the laws of time, cosmic-level alchemy, general, and divine artifact. After reaching this stage, there is no need for frequent tribulations like in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. Only after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage can one be considered recognized by the Heavenly Dao, a true immortal cultivator, and their lifespan reaches a completely different level, truly achieving the longevity sought by mortals. Their lifespan is almost endless, and without any tribulations, living for tens of thousands of years is not a problem at all. All powerful cultivators who reach the Nascent Soul stage are high above and hold great power, regarded as the spiritual pillars of top forces. Only sects with powerful Nascent Soul stage cultivators can be called large sects, truly have a voice, and become sects recognized by the major holy lands. • Upon advancing to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, half of one's power is used to condense the soul and primordial spirit into a primordial spirit entity. As long as the primordial spirit is undying, one will exist forever. One can transmit sound across vast distances and project one's true form into the mortal realm. Moreover, one can deduce heavenly secrets to a certain extent, secretly align with the Heavenly Dao, understand all living beings and all things, perceive the great trends of heaven and earth, and further advance in the Dao of Space and Universe. One can even directly teleport an entire world to any location, possessing the great supernatural power to change the world. Even when encountering the void turbulence that causes despair for all Nascent Soul cultivators, one can still protect oneself. However, to advance to the Nascent Soul realm, one must break free from destiny, forcibly defy fate, and change one's original destiny. The tribulation of destiny has no fixed form; everything is unknowable and can be anything, completely uncontrollable. Everything depends on the arrangement of fate, yet one must also grasp fate and reverse it. The vast majority of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators fall at this hurdle, their lifespan exhausted and they pass away. Its difficulty even far exceeds the sum of the three realms of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul. • Advancing to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm requires condensing an external avatar, essentially a second life for a powerful cultivator. As long as the avatar exists, even if the original body perishes, it can be reborn without affecting its fundamental nature. This is the most advanced method of rebirth, possessing immense power. A casual strike can directly shatter even the largest stars in the heavens, turning them into stardust. • Advancing to the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm requires refining a natal Dao-proving magic weapon, or using a natal refining method to refine an existing magic weapon with blood. However, this must be in harmony with one's own Dao; otherwise, it will directly affect the foundation of one's Dao, resulting in more harm than good. Cultivators at this level can even create things out of thin air and reverse life and death, acting like creators. 7. Returning to the Void Stage (Sect Leader/Immortal): Early stage: Enlightenment through the laws of the Dao → Mid-stage: Laws bestowed upon the body → Late stage: The sky changes color/can refine high-grade cosmic spirit stones. This signifies the return to the Void, the creation of the universe, and the attainment of a great true body. They comprehend the laws of the Great Dao, and possess cosmic-level pills, kings, sects, and emperor-level divine artifacts. These powerful cultivators are like the supreme elders and founding masters of various top sects, standing above all living beings. Even in the major holy lands, they are figures of immense power and influence. Advancing to the early stage of Returning to the Void requires continuous comprehension of the Great Dao, contact with the power of the laws, understanding the true words of the Great Dao, and comprehending the fundamentals of the Five Elements. It relies entirely on comprehension. Those lacking in talent and comprehension simply cannot reach this realm. However, if one successfully advances to the Void Stage, they become a true master, possessing great supernatural powers, great fortune, and great terror. Every action is in harmony with the Great Dao, capable of reversing the Great Dao and inverting the Five Elements to a certain extent. They can control the birth and death of all things in the world. Even the myriad stars of the heavens cannot withstand their boundless power; a gentle wave can reduce them to dust and annihilate them completely. Advancing to the mid-stage of the Returning to Void realm requires further comprehension of the Great Dao laws, merging oneself with them, and imbuing oneself with their power. This results in countless Dao laws enveloping the individual, achieving a state of near invulnerability to a thousand or ten thousand laws. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage wouldn't even have the right to glance at such a being; a single look could shatter their nascent soul and destroy their foundation. Advancing to the late-stage of the Returning to Void realm requires comprehending multiple Great Dao laws and fusing their power to create a unique law exclusive to oneself, such as the Heaven-Mending Technique in Perfect World or the Bronze Tower of the Immortal Palace. This achieves a power far greater than the sum of its parts. A being at this level, simply by existing, can disrupt the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, suppressing all things in the world, causing even the heavens to tremble in fear—truly terrifying. 8. Sacrifice Dao Stage (Holy Lord/Immortal Lord): Early stage: Merging with inner demons → Mid-stage: Returning to the Dao → Late stage: Sacrificing oneself to the Dao/Can refine primordial spirit stones, marking the Dao of Sacrifice, the true self of the Dao, primordial-level pills, and sacred artifacts. Those who reach this stage are basically at the level of the lords of various holy lands, true giants of the human race, the strongest small group of cultivators in the entire human race, each one a star-river overlord, the most powerful foundation of the human race. • After advancing to the early stage of Sacrifice Dao, the primordial spirit can differentiate into 123,600 thoughts, and each thought can differentiate into thousands of avatars. Each avatar has absolute combat power almost equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage expert, and as long as one thought remains, one is immortal and can be resurrected in an instant. A drop of blood can sustain one for several epochs without perishing. It can be said that as long as the primordial spirit is immortal, the physical body is immortal. Their understanding of the Dao far exceeded their imagination. To reach the Sacrifice Dao stage, one needed to sever their inner demons, strip away their seven emotions and six desires, become selfless, and wholeheartedly accept the Dao, further merging with it to become stronger. However, failure, even slightly exceeding their limits, would result in complete merging with the Dao, losing themselves, their true spirit annihilated, becoming nourishment and sustenance for the Dao—a tremendous price to pay, as if they had never existed. Advancing to the mid-stage of the Sacrifice Dao required pushing themselves beyond their limits to become one with the Dao, transforming into the Dao itself, until they were completely transformed into the Dao, while maintaining their individuality. Those who reached the mid-stage of the Sacrifice Dao had reached a level of understanding of the Dao where they could trace the origins and explore the essence of all things in the world. Aside from the great secrets of those beings with higher realms than themselves, forbidden existences, and a very few unknowable, heaven-defying beings, nothing could escape the pursuit of the origins of those in the mid-stage of the Sacrifice Dao. • Advancing to the late stage of the Dao of Sacrifice: Human giants who reach this realm have a near-perfect understanding of the Dao, and their own Dao realm has reached perfection. They radiate a terrifying light of the Great Dao, symbolizing a 100% fusion with the Great Dao. They are independent representatives of the Great Dao, walking in the world. As long as the Great Dao exists, they will never die. At this realm, the use of Dao techniques is no longer limited to any single type. All techniques in the world can be used by them, and they can all exert their original true power, or even become more perfect and powerful. At this realm, what matters is one's own creation and foundation of Dao techniques, as well as the amount of knowledge one has. The more knowledge one has, the stronger one becomes. 9. Tribulation Transcending Stage (Immortal Venerable): Early Tribulation Transcending Stage: Reincarnation Tribulation (All Heavens Immortal Venerable) → Mid Tribulation Transcending Stage: Cursed Death Tribulation (Legendary Immortal Venerable) → Late Tribulation Transcending Stage: Nirvana Immortal Tribulation (Mythical Immortal Venerable) / Can refine high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones, Celestial Venerable Seats, Celestial Venerable Seals, Celestial Venerable Holy Guardian Immortal Artifacts, Primordial-grade Pills, Venerable Divine Artifacts. Anyone who reaches this realm is almost invincible. The founders of various holy lands or the creators of an era's myths and legends, have reached the point where they can traverse two realms and travel through all heavens, or they are the supreme beings of all heavens in the entire Three Thousand Worlds. After advancing to the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, one's cultivation is so high that one can even create a complete world with a single thought. With a single word, one can control and guide the myriad laws of the Great Dao, making them move accordingly. Words become law. Even the River of Time, one of the most mysterious of the three thousand worlds, is no longer a secret to one. One can freely observe and browse it without hindrance, knowing the past and future and understanding the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. However, the existence of the Tribulation Transcending Realm is already at a level that even the Heavenly Dao does not allow to exist easily. Therefore, this realm is also divided into three tribulations. To reach this realm, one must undergo countless reincarnations, abandoning the physical body and primordial spirit, and only the true spirit to fall into the cycle of reincarnation. Only after countless reincarnations can one attain the supreme status of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. However, once the true spirit is constantly damaged or destroyed in the cycle of reincarnation, or is constantly assimilated and cleansed in the cycle of reincarnation, the true spirit will no longer be complete and will be completely reduced to a mortal spirit. The physical body and primordial spirit will perish together, and there will be no more day of awakening, attaining the Dao, or undergoing the tribulation. One will completely perish in this cycle of reincarnation. • Upon advancing to the mid-stage of Tribulation Transcending, a Mythical Supreme reaches a realm where their cultivation not only allows them to overlook the river of time but also enables them to forcibly reverse time, intercepting and disturbing it. Although the price is being tainted and eroded by karma, as long as it doesn't drastically alter the fate of time, it can generally be forcibly dispelled and worn away by their terrifying cultivation methods. However, upon successfully advancing to the early stage of Tribulation Transcending, they will be locked and cursed by the Heavenly Dao. Whenever they use great methods or supernatural powers, the Heavenly Dao will discover them, deepening the erosion of the curse and accelerating their demise. Therefore, after reaching the early stage of Tribulation Transcending as a Supreme Being of the Heavens, they will personally use great methods to create a forbidden zone to hide in, in order to avoid being locked by the Heavenly Dao's rules. Once they successfully overcome the cursed death tribulation and reach the mid-stage of Tribulation Transcending, they can go even further. Their corrupted Dao body will transform into an immortal Dao body, possessing immortal characteristics. Apart from terrifying beings of higher realms or the shackles of the Heavenly Dao's rules and karma, nothing in the world can damage an immortal Dao body in the slightest. • To advance to the late stage of Tribulation Transcending, one must undergo the Nirvana Immortal Tribulation. When a legendary supreme being at the peak of the mid-stage of Tribulation Transcending attempts to further advance to the late-stage Mythical Supreme, they will be discovered by the Heavenly Dao. Consequently, one hundred and eight Great Annihilation Purple Heavenly Lightning bolts, powerful enough to annihilate any mid-stage Tribulation Transcending being, and even an immortal body cannot withstand them, will descend. Once one successfully passes through the Heavenly Lightning, one can reshape their physical body, undergo Nirvana, become an Immortal Emperor, and descend to the world. Once a legendary supreme being reaches this level appears, they can even automatically stop the rotation of time and space in the entire world, including all living beings and things below the Tribulation Transcending stage. Their existence is valued even by the Heavenly Dao, as they can resist a certain degree of the Heavenly Dao's rules. Their interference with the River of Time has become so great that they can arbitrarily change the fate and cause and effect of all things and living beings except for those of the same or higher level. They can even forcibly reverse and distort the timeline to affect the present life. 10. Mahayana Stage (Immortal Emperor): Early Mahayana Stage: Boundless Heaven and Earth → Mid Mahayana Stage: Cataclysmic Calamity → Late Mahayana Stage: Eternal Realm → Peak Mahayana Stage: Realm of a Single Thought / Can refine top-grade spirit stones of the Immortal Realm, Immortal Emperor's Heavenly Silk, Immortal Emperor's Halo, Worship of Myriad Realms, Emperor's Divine Artifact, Immortal Artifact, Immortal-grade Pills. Advances to the early Mahayana stage, reaching the tenth realm of the Taoist cultivation system, which can be described as perfect. A Mahayana being who reaches this level is already considered the pinnacle of the cultivation path, the final stage of attaining enlightenment and transcendence. They are the most elite cultivators in the entire Three Thousand Worlds Pyramid, invincible beings who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao. Beings at this level have reached the level of proving their true self, embodying themselves across all timelines while burying their weaker past. Unlike during the Tribulation Transcending stage, they can no longer erase past events across timelines. They can not only directly alter the years but also directly traverse all timelines, freely traveling through any timeline of the past, present, and future. Unless the river of time is completely shattered, even the shackles of cause and effect cannot harm them in the slightest, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao cannot shake their existence. Their abilities are so advanced that they can even create a boundless, infinitely vast world, a universe in their palm, where they control all the rules, beings, destinies, and timelines within this endless world... Equivalent to another special type of Heavenly Dao. Upon advancing to the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm, the boundless world they govern undergoes further evolution and completeness, reaching a level comparable to an entire boundless universe. They gain complete control over everything within this universe, achieving omniscience and omnipotence. More importantly, they possess terrifyingly powerful methods capable of directly instigating cataclysmic destruction, controlling the birth and death of all things in the three thousand worlds, devouring the energy of all living beings to nourish themselves. If they could unleash a cataclysmic destruction without regard for the cost, they could even completely annihilate and disintegrate an entire boundless universe, thus creating... The next time he uses the Cataclysmic Annihilation, he will create a new boundless universe. However, each time he activates the Cataclysmic Annihilation, he will inevitably be affected by it, which will backfire on his Dao body and true spirit, bringing him a long period of weakness or dormancy. On the contrary, the more he uses the Cataclysmic Annihilation, the more terrifying it becomes. At the same time, his strength and cultivation will steadily improve. After activating the Cataclysmic Annihilation 81 times, he will have the foundation to touch the bottleneck of the late Mahayana stage, becoming an even more terrifying existence. • Upon advancing to the late stage of Mahayana cultivation, Mahayana cultivators at this level, having successfully triggered eighty-one cataclysmic events without perishing due to backlash, have completely mastered the immense power of cataclysmic events. They have further cultivated a true eternal body, becoming indestructible and eternally free. Even the existence of supreme rules cannot bind them in the slightest, and they will not be affected by countless eons of great calamities in the future. This is also known as the Eternal Realm, where one can create universes with a flick of the finger and destroy them with a press. For countless eternal eons thereafter, their only pursuit is the fantasy that has existed since the beginning of this world—the Realm of Transcendence. 11. Half-Step Transcendence (Great Vehicle Perfection/Above Emperors): Without weapons, he honed his skills for countless epochs on the foundation of the Great Vehicle late-stage Eternal Realm. In order to obtain more energy and become stronger, he continuously fought, tore apart, and devoured a massive number of invincible beings of the same level in the Great Vehicle late stage, thus constantly mutating. Quantitative change produced a slight qualitative change, and the final result was that he possessed combat power far exceeding the limit of the Great Vehicle late stage. He evolved an infinitely huge body and a strange power far beyond comprehension. In a single breath, he could drain the vast energy of tens of thousands of boundless universes. A single hair of his was much larger than the three thousand great worlds and the True Self Realm (six-dimensional space) combined. His body was simply beyond description. Even the perception range of a Great Vehicle mid-stage expert could only see a finger at most, and could not see his whole appearance. His mere existence could even make the entire Chaos Sea boil. 12. Transcendence (Peak of Mahayana/Peak of Emperor): Energy absorption has reached a critical point, an absolute limit. There is no longer any possibility of becoming stronger by absorbing massive amounts of spiritual energy. The path of cultivation has reached its complete end, and doubts about one's own existence begin to creep in. One wants to know, to explore, the origins of everything in this world, what caused its birth, and why one exists. Thus, one falls into endless confusion and bewilderment. At this level, nothing is impossible, and nothing is insurmountable. Chaos, primordial chaos, rules, and the Great Dao all hold no meaning for one. One can make all of this disappear, or make all of this exist. There are no limitations imposed by the concept of realm, nor is there any concept of life. 0. The Realm of a Single Thought (Zero): I know that I have merged with the Heavenly Dao. The beginning and end of everything exist only in my single thought. A single thought has meaning, a single thought has no meaning, because the place where I exist is the place where I once lived. This is the meaning of my existence. Martial Arts Realms: 1. Body Tempering Realm (Physical Strength): Internal Tempering: Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lungs, Kidneys; External Tempering: Head, Body, Hands, Feet, Legs. Ten Secret Realms (Mud Embryo Realm → Grass Root Realm → Willow Tendon Realm → Wooden Embryo Realm → Stone Path Realm → Copper Wall Realm → Iron Wall Realm → Jade Cauldron Realm → Vajra Realm → Great Luo Golden Body Realm). Body tempering is the path of martial arts cultivation. Although it is not a necessary path for those who cultivate immortality, those who have passed through this realm are far superior to those who merely nourish and transform their entire body through Qi condensation. Martial arts cultivation is different from immortality cultivation. The beginning of martial arts cultivation is body tempering, and there is no clear order to the subsequent paths. If an immortal cultivator's meridians are blocked and they wish to strengthen their body and mind and remove impurities through this path, it is best to temper the body after reaching the Great Perfection of the Mortal Embryo Realm. At this time, the meridians in the body are not smooth and are full of impurities. If one wants to smoothly condense Qi into the body, body tempering is undoubtedly the best choice. Body tempering is divided into (internal tempering and external tempering). Internal tempering involves the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys; external tempering involves the head, body, hands, feet, and legs. The body tempering process requires the essence of a ferocious beast or the powder of a supreme treasure of heaven and earth as a catalyst, soaking the entire body in it. During this time, one must mobilize all the essence and blood within, stimulating divine light within the blood to draw upon the power of the beast or the natural laws of the Dao to inscribe runes onto the bones and muscles. This tempers the body with the essence of heaven and earth, nourishing the flesh and eliminating impurities. Furthermore, one must survive for over ten years beneath icy rifts and above raging seas of fire, transcending the mortal realm, purifying the mind like still water, and tempering the body and mind through natural trials, developing extraordinary perseverance. Every rune inscribed within the body becomes an eternal power that remains with you until death. Each of these ten levels of the secret realm grants the ability to lift thousands of pounds; upon successful internal tempering, internal strength increases exponentially, all meridians are unblocked, primordial energy is generated, and the ability to withstand pressure on the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys is far superior to that of ordinary people, enabling resistance to methods that damage internal organs; upon successful external tempering, the body becomes incredibly strong, like a diamond, with legs as fast as an antelope, strength as great as a bear, muscles as powerful as mountains, hearing for miles, and seeing for miles. Those who have tempered their entire body reach the peak of the tenth level of the secret realm. 2. Opening Yuan Realm (Internal Strength): Primordial Qi → Gang Qi (Buddhist method of dispelling evil Qi) / Yin Qi / Evil Qi. The initial opening of primordial energy opens the bridge between heaven and earth, allowing the body to continuously generate its own primordial energy power. However, primordial energy cannot be used without limit; at best, it leads to exhaustion and unconsciousness, at worst, death from depletion of primordial energy. This vital energy differs from the spiritual energy obtained from the outside world, which depends on the creation of heaven and earth; while vital energy is produced within oneself. This vital energy is cultivated through various schools of thought, with varying effects. For example, the Royal Heavenly Gang Technique generates protective qi, making one immune to all poisons. The Nine Nether Profound Heaven Technique generates yin energy, an evil aura, causing enemies to feel eerie fear, and circulates soul-devouring qi. 3. Martial Strength Realm (Martial Arts Level): Manifest Strength → An Strength → Transformation Strength → Dan Strength → Gang Strength → Divine Strength. Manifest Strength: This is the initial stage of martial arts training. The practitioner concentrates their strength throughout the body, resulting in a powerful punch that explodes with tremendous force. This stage emphasizes smooth body movements and coordinated hand and foot movements, avoiding any scattering. This single strike can shatter mountains and cause the earth to shake. An Strength: Further cultivation based on Manifest Strength, focusing on mental and physical training, adjusting the center of gravity of the spine and coccyx, and ensuring the smooth flow of qi throughout the body's muscles and tendons. At this stage, the practitioner can unleash hidden power, opening the Ren and Du meridians. Vital energy is released through the pores as hidden power. Skilled practitioners can execute techniques that combine hardness and softness, cultivating both internal and external strength. They can even strike from afar, shattering mountains and rivers with a single palm strike. **Transformation Power:** This is a higher level, with the entire body interconnected, regulating internal organs, and mastering every organ. At the Transformation Power stage, practitioners can reach a state where "not even a feather can be added, not even a fly can land." Hidden power permeates the entire body, internal organs are clean and tidy, tendons and bones are strong, and bone marrow is abundant. They can transform hardness into softness and softness into hardness at will, using softness to overcome hardness, striking with complete freedom, easily winning without effort. **Elixir Power:** This integrates Taoist cultivation methods, a middle level of Transformation Power, focusing on the dantian, condensing essence, energy, and spirit, achieving control of qi and blood through intention. **Gang Power:** Concentrated power, penetrating the body and striking outwards. Gang power represents the peak of this level, possessing immense strength. Divine Strength: Breaking through the void, seeing the indestructible spirit, perfectly controlling the body, understanding the sensitivity of acupoints, reaching the highest cultivation realm. 4. True Soul Realm (Courage and Vigor): Martial artists must overcome negative emotions such as fear and anxiety, possessing the quality of fearlessness. Even when facing a powerful enemy, they can remain calm and confident. Those who cultivate the True Soul must face thousands of troops alone, drawing their swords. Even alone, they are the soul of thousands of troops. In life-or-death situations, when facing nine deaths and one life, they remain calm and composed, breaking through themselves in desperate circumstances. Over time, they accumulate to form the True Soul. This soul resides three feet above the head of the gods, able to resist the evil spirits, boost morale in the army, and protect the people for generations. 5. Concentration Realm (Sword Intent Comprehension): After mastering certain martial arts skills, one continuously practices and refines their techniques to pursue precision and fluidity, focusing on inner understanding and experience to form a unique martial arts style. This involves comprehending the essence of martial arts, much like a swordsman's accumulated understanding of sword intent, gradually forming a unique realm of their own. This realm makes their spells superior, accurate, and powerful. At this point, when the internal energy reaches its peak, one can condense the energy and the realm of intent into a primordial spirit. This differs from the Taoist method of cultivating the primordial spirit. 6. Heavenly Intent Realm (Cognition of Heaven and Earth): Seeing oneself → Seeing Heaven and Earth → Seeing all beings. Seeing oneself: Discovering one's own thoughts and feelings in the complex world, forming one's own insights and thinking, like wielding a sword to sever worldly ties, leaving no distracting thoughts in the heart. Seeing Heaven and Earth: After possessing one's own opinions, one purposefully perceives the world, reflecting heaven and earth into one's heart, achieving harmony between heaven and man, coordinating and integrating one's own energy with the natural energy of heaven and earth, pursuing inner peace and tranquility. To perceive all beings: This involves not only understanding oneself and the universe, but also comprehending the joys and sorrows of others, elevating wisdom to the level of the collective and even all people, perfecting one's inner cultivation, and achieving the lofty ambition of a chivalrous hero who establishes a heart for the universe, secures a destiny for the people, continues the lost arts of the past, and brings peace to all generations. Only then can one unleash the strongest techniques. ※ Only by understanding the fundamental nature of all things in this world and comprehending one's own birth can one unleash the strongest techniques of martial arts and military strategy. The above six realms transcend any distinction of precedence or strength, allowing one to adapt to oneself, to the Way of Heaven, and to one's true nature. By integrating the six realms into one, one can forge a lineage of martial spirit. However, the rules of the martial arts world cannot be without distinctions of strength and weakness. Generally, martial artists can be divided into twelve levels based on their techniques and abilities: ② Military Levels: Martial Apprentice (Mortal) → Martial Artist (Qi Condensation) → Martial Master (Foundation Building) → Martial General (Golden Core) → Martial King (Nascent Soul) → Martial God (Deity Transformation) → Martial Emperor (Return to Emptiness) → Martial Saint (Sacrificial Rite) → Martial Venerable (Immortal Venerable) → Martial Emperor (Immortal Emperor) → Martial Immortal (Half-Step Transcendence) → Martial God Dominator (Transcendence Realm) ③ Buddhist Levels: Pure Body (Mortal) → Gathering Yuan (Qi Condensation) → Enlightened Mind (Foundation Building) → Relic (Martial Monk) → Dharma Image (Dharma Master) → Buddha Light (Zen Master) → Emptiness (Messenger) → Perfection (Vajra) → One Thought (Arhat) → Nirvana (Bodhisattva) → Buddha (Half-Step Transcendence) → Buddha Lord (Transcendence Realm) ④ Classification of Demon Cultivators: Demon Embryo (Mortal Embryo) → Spirit Gathering (Demon Human) → Marrow Refining (Demon Spirit) → Demon Lotus (Demon Lord) → Demon Transformation (Demon King) → Demon Spirit (Demon God) → Ruins Breaking (Demon Emperor) → Sacrifice (Demon Saint) → Demon Venerable (Tribulation Crossing) → Demon Emperor (Mahayana) → Demon Immortal (Half-Step Transcendence) → Demon Realm Ruler (Transcendence Realm) ⑤ Classification of Demon Cultivators: Demon Embryo (Mortal Embryo) → Condensed Evil (Human Demon) → Blood Devouring (Demon) → Demon Core (Demon Lord) → Demon Infant (Demon King) → Heart Demon (Demon God) → Ruins Shattering (Demon Emperor) → Blood Sacrifice (Demon Saint) → Demon Venerable (Tribulation Crossing) → Demon Emperor (Mahayana) → Demon Immortal (Half-Step Transcendence) → Demon Realm Ruler (Transcendence Realm) ⑥ Cultivation Levels: Nether Embryo (Mortal) → Spirit Communication (Little Ghost) → Soul Devouring (Ghost) → Soul Condensation (Netherworld Lord) → Ghost Infant (Ghost King) → Evil Spirit (Evil God) → Void (Netherworld Emperor) → Reincarnation (Ghost Saint) → Netherworld Venerable (Ghost Venerable) → Netherworld Emperor (Mahayana) → Ghost Immortal (Half-Step Transcendence) → Netherworld Ruler (Transcendence Realm) Other Cultivation Systems: Demonic and monster cultivation each have their own martial arts manuals, but there are also those who form a Golden Core and Nascent Soul through Taoist methods… There is no unchanging cultivation system, nor are there fixed rules of right and wrong in the martial world. All methods lead to the same destination, all following the natural way. Appearance arises from the heart; laws govern celestial phenomena, the Tao follows nature, simply follow your own heart… ⑦ Weapon Grades: Mortal Weapons (Weapons used by mortals, generally graded based on durability or the rarity of materials used, ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 9, with Grade 1 being the highest) → Magical Weapons (Forged by powerful beings in the mortal realm, capable of wielding magical power through manipulation, divided into four grades: Upper, Middle, Lower, and Ultimate) → Spiritual Weapons (Possessing a spirit within, they recognize their own master; their own grade varies, they have storage and containment space, can absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to grow, coexist with their master, and possess self-awareness, divided into four grades: Upper, Middle, Lower, and Ultimate) → Divine Weapons (Crafted by gods or holy masters over tens of thousands of years, accompanying their master...) Having existed for tens of thousands of years, this divine artifact perished in a great war, and has been awaiting a new master ever since. It generates an inexhaustible source of energy, sustaining the vitality of its surrounding world. It contains not only the laws of space but also the laws of time, and even higher levels like Saint and Venerable, and perhaps even the laws of the Great Dao. Its power is categorized into nine levels: Rank, General, Commander, King, Sect Master, Emperor, Saint, Venerable, and Emperor. → Immortal Artifact (Extremely ancient, a product of the creation of the world, possessed by the Lord of the Primordial Chaos, its history is boundless. Immortal artifacts have no distinction of rank or status; only immortals can use them. If used by mortals, they are merely extremely sharp weapons, devoid of magical power). ⑧ Pill Grades: Mortal Pills: Medicines consumed by mortals, with effects of strengthening the body, nourishing, cultivating the soul, and replenishing qi (grades are based on the rarity of the materials used and their efficacy, divided into nine grades from Grade 1 to Grade 9, with Grade 1 being the highest) → Divine Pills: Their efficacy can be achieved at over 80% (divided into six grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, Universe, Primordial). Yellow-grade pills are inexpensive to produce, have good efficacy, high yield, a smooth color, and a mellow taste; Profound-grade pills have a moderate refining time, excellent efficacy, and a fragrance that travels for miles; Earth-grade pills have a longer refining time, and their formation will cause changes in heaven and earth, thus attracting the attention of powerful beings; Heaven-grade pills can attract pill lightning, and after formation, they possess preliminary intelligence and can escape from the alchemist's grasp; Divine Pills: Universe Superior-grade pills possess greater intelligence, capable of engaging in combat and summoning heavenly lightning of different levels; Primordial-grade pills have fully developed their own consciousness. If the alchemist cannot control them, the pill itself can cultivate, even transforming into a human form, continuing its cultivation according to the elemental attributes of the medicine it was refined into. [Divine medicines (divided into medicinal essences and divine medicines): Medicinal essences are medicines from the divine realm, possessing the miracles of reincarnation and resurrection; those who consume them also possess divine energy and power]; while divine medicines are divine medicines that have cultivated for millennia and transformed into human form. Because they know themselves and their enemies, their medical skills and alchemy methods are unparalleled, far surpassing ordinary immortals → Immortal medicines (products of the creation of the world, giving birth to a world, no longer the medicines of ordinary people, but the Great Dao that can infinitely give birth to medicines). ⑨ Alchemist Levels: Alchemy Novice (Mortal Ranks 1-3) → Alchemy Apprentice (Mortal Ranks 4-6) → Alchemy Elite (Mortal Ranks 6-9) → Alchemy Expert (Yellow Rank) → Alchemy Master (Mysterious Rank) → Alchemy Grandmaster (Earth Rank) → Alchemy Cult Leader (Heaven Rank) → Alchemy Saint Lord (Cosmic Level) → Alchemy Venerable (Primordial Level) → Medicine God (Divine Medicine Spirit) → Medicine Immortal → Pill Master (Peak of Alchemy) ⑩ Weapon Forger Levels: Forging Novice (Mortal Ranks 1-3) → Forging Apprentice (Mortal Ranks 4-6) → Forging Elite (Mortal Ranks 6-9) → Forging Expert (Lower, Middle Magic Weapon) → Forging Master (Upper, Extreme Magic Weapon) → Forging Grandmaster (Lower, Middle Spirit Weapon) → Forging Cult Leader (Upper, Extreme Spirit Weapon) → Forging Saint Lord (Three Divine Weapon Masteries) → Forging Venerable (Six Divine Weapon Masteries) → Forging God (Nine Divine Weapon Masteries) → Forging Immortal → Weapon Master (Peak of Forging) Similar to these are: formations, talismans, musical instruments, poetry, alchemy, medicine making, poison making, beast taming, feng shui… Other professions follow the same pattern: Apprentice (newcomer, possessing some basic skills and a basic understanding of the planning and development within their field) → Expert (having mastered the basic uses of this profession in the mortal world, and can open their own shop) → Master (having refined their skills in this field, possessing unique insights, and respected by others) → Venerable (having reached the pinnacle of their skill in this field, attracting numerous apprentices from afar, and being the focus of everyone's attention) → Sect Master (the most influential person in the mortal world in this profession, with countless disciples, and capable of establishing a sect) → Cult Leader (having comprehended their own Great Dao in this field, unprecedented and unparalleled, requiring independent exploration) → Saint Master (the Dao has taken shape, with no more doubts in this field) → God (elevating this field to the level of a god) → Immortal (elevating this field to the level of an immortal, the pinnacle of the profession) A yellow-grade spirit stone in the mortal realm can protect the health and longevity of a family, equivalent to half a lifetime's worth of wealth for an ordinary person. A black-grade spirit stone can protect the peace of a village, equivalent to the savings of a dozen or so villages and houses. A earth-grade spirit stone can protect the peace of a small town, equivalent to a dozen or so luxurious mansions. A heaven-grade spirit stone can protect the peace of a great nation, equivalent to a dozen or so small countries.
