Cultivation: Walking on Clouds

The water of spiritual energy rises from nothing to form clouds, then descends as mist. Thus, above lies the Cloud Extremity Continent, below lies the Mist Extremity Continent, and between them stands a barrier of heavenly thunder. # As a sect prodigy who had never endured much hardship, Mo Jian nearly strayed down the path of becoming consumed by romance. Fortunately, she came to her senses and chose to follow her heart. Her Dao was so small, and the road ahead so long. How could she let the illusion before her block her way? Yet there is always another obstacle beyond the one before you, and her road is still long. After all, how easy can it be to cultivate, contending with heaven, battling others, and fighting fate? # There are always people who have lost their way on the path of cultivation, or become trapped by obsessions and inner demons, only to eventually come to their senses: If they wish to attain the Great Dao, they must not lack the emotions they ought to have, nor possess too much of the compassion they ought to temper. They may have family and friends, or kindred spirits and companions, but the only person they can always rely on is themselves. Cultivation hones the heart and tempers the self. One step, one level, one new view at every level. May you reach the azure heights and walk upon the clouds. # Cultivation levels in this story, from lowest to highest: Dao cultivators: Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Deity Transformation → Spirit Refining, then ascension. Body cultivators: Qi Movement → Houtian → Xiantian → Cocoon Breaking → Rebirth → Bone Reforging, then ascension. Demons and beasts: Ranks one through twelve (beast form) → Shape Transformation → Form Refining, then ascension. A cultivation guide: 1. At the start of the story, the protagonist is on the [Cloud Extremity Continent] and has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. After passing through the secret realm [Kunshan Realm], she arrives on the [Mist Extremity Continent] and starts cultivating again from the first level of Qi Refining.
