NOTE: the lost paths in the order of disapperance: Weapon,Mind,Qi,Soul,Body,Yao. weapon dao, mind dao and yao dao are lost completely, qi and soul are misunderstood, and body is fragmented and looked down upon due to loss of all manuals at four pillars and above. |
In the current era, no other paths are known other than the broken path, and the skipped realms are skipped not because anyone wants to skip them, but because there literally are no records about them. |
Such records only exist far into the forbidden zones, where the purity of qi and the effect of the formations purify and refine cultivation the cultivators passively boosting their cultivation and strengthening their foundations while simultaneously removing blockages and impurities. This translates into the modern era... |
To take more paths, one must forget that they are a cultivator of other paths, and start at the same starting line as mortals, the very first realm, and progress upwards slowly, without skipping any realms. |
THE LAW OF KARMA: |
The world is largely ignorant of the true mechanics of Karma. |
- Accumulation: Karma accumulates literally with time and non-intervention. |
- The Passive Virtue: Merely circulating Qi for 15 years without intervening yields pure, positive karma. This purity is higher than that of so-called "heroes" who accumulate large amounts of karma quickly because it stems from the world thanking all beings for not hurting one another. |
MISCELANEA: |
By starting from the beginning, the same start as normal, uncultivated mortals, even broken-path loose immortals can just cultivate qi sensing and upwards properly and be fixed, as long as they don't take shortcuts by virtue of their broken path power. |
Both broken path immortals and loose immortals become unable to circulate qi after the lightning because their impurities are cleansed improperly; if they had been cleansed properly they would be dead. Broken path immortals and loose immortals, are, however, salvagable. Quitting and picking another path and going throu... |
A single Yellow Heaven Immortal of just *one* path is enough to operate on a scale of both multiverses and concepts, and atoms and quarks. Instantaneous destruction of the entire multiverse is very easy in theory, but very improbable in practice since they have accepted the red dust and are against causing harm to the ... |
even thousands of Red Dust one-path immortals on the correct path cannot match a red dust immortal who has reached red dust in one path and is starting another. a one-path red dust immortal can destroy the entire multiverse instantly if they wanted, and have enough control to move quarks seperately. Their the exponenti... |
METAVERSAL TRUTH: |
one day in the ancient era the paths were exported, and broken on the way. |
Heavenly Dao revelation of reason for loss of paths: The paths were exported, and they were broken on the way. neither the source nor the destination remember the true paths, the source forgot their paths over time and the destination never recieved the fragments other than their own. the destinations were: Shrouding t... |
the "export" was authors looking at daoist philosophy and trying to get the public to look at them through the stories they made. which translates to grandparents teaching children philosophy that gives magic. |

info: yoriichi is a red dust immortal on the weapon path who coincidentally chose to reincarnate at the moment of export that's why his blades change colour from just grip, and why his reincarnation is shown at a different place than the heroes.

just a one-path red dust immortal can destroy the entire multiverse instantly if they wanted, and have enough control to move quarks seperately. this Yellow Heaven Immortal is one who cultivated ALL PATHS, and cultivated ALL SUB-TYPES OF WEAPON (staff,spear,sword,saber,blade,scythe,etc).

CULTIVATION SYSTEM |
A piece of paper from another world. The dao that wrote it weeps for those who cannot read what was never lost — only scattered. |
It is not heaven that curses. It is the way to heaven that is cursed. |
I. THE NATURE OF QI |
Qi is the fundamental substance of cultivation. All qi carries an elemental or spiritual attribute, and converting between attributes incurs slight loss. Three sources exist, each with distinct properties. |
Heaven Qi |
Flows downward from celestial bodies: Solar from the Sun, Lunar from the Moon, Stellar from individual stars, and attributed qi from constellations. Heaven qi is the purest in form, but thins considerably at altitude. On mountaintops it is rarefied and clean; in valleys ringed by mountains it pools dense but impure. Cl... |
Earth Qi |
Flows upward from dragon veins and leylines. The easiest type to use and shape — ideal for beginners. Dragon veins can theoretically be redirected, though the method was lost with the true paths. Leylines are fixed. Both run thin during earthquakes. |
Self Qi |
Inherent to the cultivator. It takes five forms: |
Internal energy — qi of the body |
Mental energy — qi of the mind |
Soul essence — qi of the soul |
Weapon qi — qi of a bonded weapon |
Beastial qi — qi of a demon core |
Self qi carries a unique signature for every person, which can be recorded and identified. It is the easiest type to change in attribute, and — through the qi path — can be used in place of heaven or earth qi in techniques, and can be bolstered by heaven or earth qi in return. Weapon qi and beastial qi are singular amo... |
Of the three sources, heaven qi bolsters self qi the most, followed by earth qi. |
II. SPIRITUAL ROOTS |
Spiritual roots are not talent for cultivation — they are frameworks of comprehension. The element of a root determines how a cultivator naturally understands the Dao. A water-root cultivator perceives qi as water: clearer water is better qi than murky water. A fire-root cultivator perceives it as heat and intensity. |
Multiple roots are not inherently inferior. The danger is fragmentation: a cultivator who holds multiple incompletely mastered roots sees the world through competing lenses at once, and their comprehension suffers for it. But two paths lead out of this: |
Complete melding — if all roots are fully fused into a unified comprehension, the cultivator becomes equivalent to a heavenly-root genius. |
Complete separation — if all roots remain perfectly distinct and the cultivator can switch between frameworks at will, they are only marginally below a heavenly root. |
The failure state — partial melding, incomplete separation — is what is commonly called a trash root. The two successful states are difficult to distinguish from outside and nearly impossible to achieve without guidance. |
Roots can be changed through years of concentrated study and deliberate translation from the original framework to the desired one. This takes multiple years of uninterrupted mental effort. The method was lost with the true paths. |
Red Dust grants melded all-root. |
During soul externalization, the roots become visible. |
III. THE TRUE PATHS OF CULTIVATION |
The paths of cultivation were never meant to conflict. It does not matter whether cultivation is mixed across paths, provided each individual path is followed from its beginning without skipping realms. Ancient cultivators generally walked only one path due to constraints of lifespan and aptitude. Multiple paths can be... |
Even a broken-path Loose Immortal can begin a true path from its first realm and, in time, be made whole. |
A. THE THREE MAIN PATHS |
1. THE MIND PATH |
Hard without imagination and concentrated will. |
Mental Palace → Sea of Consciousness → Mental Sight → Mind Moves the World (psychokinesis) → Mental Avatar → Dual Mind → Multiple Minds → Horizon Broadening → Mind Externalization → Intent Becomes Reality → Red Dust Immortal → Yellow Heaven Immortal |
2. THE SOUL PATH |
Hard to begin without repeated near-death experience. |
Soul Sensing → Soul Condensation → Soul Refining → Soul Contemplation → Soul Extension → Soul Externalization → Soul Split → Soul Solidification → Soul Sight → Soul Manipulation → Soul Possession → Soul Touches World (soul-telekinesis) → Soul Awakening → True Soul → Immortal Soul → Red Dust Immortal → Yellow Heaven Imm... |
Note: Soul Split is what the broken path calls Nascent Soul. Soul Condensation is what it calls Soul Formation. Both are reached in the wrong order and without foundation in the broken path. |
3. THE BODY PATH |
The longest path. Hard without endurance and patience. |
Strength Training → Flesh Training → Viscera Training → Altering Muscle → Bone Forging → Pulse Condensation → Tempering Marrow → Copper Skin and Iron Bones → Five Palaces → Wheel and Sea Realm (Bitter Sea, Life Spring, Divine Bridge, Other Shore) → Dao Palace Realm (Heart, Lung, Liver, Spleen, Kidney Divine Treasuries)... |
