Yo bro I found this piece of paper lying around! |

bruh leans in to look at the paper "What's on it?" |

Bro: points excitedly at a diagram of a swirling vortex of energy "Check this out! It’s a custom 'Primordial Chaos Marrow' refinement system. Instead of just absorbing Qi from the atmosphere like a standard practitioner, this one makes you use your own blood essence to catalyze the energy into a liquid state before it ... |
He taps a line of text near the bottom of the page. |
Bro: "It's wild. It basically bypasses the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment stage by making the foundation more dense, but man... the medicinal pill requirements for the first step look absolutely insane. You'd need at least a dozen Spirit Nurturing Fruits just to survive the first cycle!" |

Bruh looks at the backside of the paper "this is pretty detailed, ain't it? Wait, what? 'true paths?' blah blah blah, nascent soul equals death. seems fresh I guess?" backside of paper (which seems to feel as if from another world with a dao that weeps for those below it) with some words scribbled on it: |

CULTIVATION SYSTEM OVERVIEW |
THE TYPES OF QI: |
There are three types of qi: Heaven, Earth, and Self. |
HEAVEN: Qi from celestial bodies. Solar from Sun, Lunar from Moon, Stellar from Stars, and attributed qi from constellations. these Qi flow down from the sky. they are high in purity and thin on mountains, and dense and less pure in valleys with mountains around them. |
EARTH: Qi from Dragon veins and leylines. Although all types of Qi can be converted into each other, This Qi is the easiest to use, easiest to mold, and best for beginners. They flow up from the ground. they are made by dragon veins and leylines, out of which dragon veins can be adjusted, although the way to move it wa... |
SELF: Qi from the body, mind, soul, weapon and demon core of cultivators. body qi is called internal energy, mind qi is called mental energy, soul qi is called soul essence, weapon qi is called weapon qi, and demon core qi is called beastial qi. Beastial qi and weapon qi are the only qi that can last outside the self w... |
All qi is attributed,and switching between attributes causes slight loss. self qi is easiest to change, followed by earth qi. Heavenly qi bolsters qi the most, followed by earth qi. both heaven qi and earth qi can run out during earthquakes and sky-covering weather, but clouds give formless qi too, so not quite a probl... |
SPIRITUAL ROOTS: |
Spritual roots refer to comprehension ability. The element refers to what the root of their comprehension is. (for example, a water root comprehends things in terms of water. qi as water would be: clearer water is better than grimey water.) normally, the more elements in a root, the more fragmented the person's compreh... |
the truth of roots was lost with the true paths. It is done in a root modification library(present in all ancient era sects). the root modification library is an actual library, with an optional dark room to meditate in and recomprehend one's own worldview based on different axioms.(spiritual root modification library.... |
THE NATURE OF ASCENSION: |
At the end of mortality, the choice for ascension is either Loose Immortal directly, or Red Dust Immortal, then Loose Immortal(with red dust foundation, called Yellow Heaven Immortal in the ancient era). |
The Two Choices: |
Loose Immortal (Direct ascension): Ascending directly without the Red Dust stage. |
Consequence: These cultivators will perish when they try to cultivate after ascension, lacking the necessary foundations for cultivation and having too many impurities to cultivate properly in the low-qi high-law environment of the Heavens. |
Red Dust Immortal then loose immortal (Yellow Heaven Immortal): Ascending after experiencing every profession and path to the Dao. They must experience every profession. completely. no skipping professions "unrelated" to the path. all professions have their own aspect of the dao that must be experienced to make a s... |
Benefit: This provides the foundations required for future growth. |
Power Scaling: Red Dust Immortals who ascend having mastered more than one path are exponentially stronger than those from a single path. 'Exponential' is very literal. thousands of red dust immortals on one path would probably equal a red dust immortal with one path to red dust and starting the first realm of anot... |
The Truth of Heavenly Tribulation: |
Philosophy: It is said the heavens punish immortality, but in truth, the heavens bless them. |
Tribulation Lightning: During ascension, lightning tempers the specific paths picked by the ascender. |
Body Path: Blue Lightning (Nourishes the body). |
Soul Path: White Lightning (Softens and refines the soul). |
Mind Path: Azure Lightning (Cleanses the mind). |
Qi Path: Golden Lightning (Bolsters the qi). |
Yao Path: Purple Lightning (Releases them from their form's limitations). |
Weapon Path: Silver Lightning (removes all barriers between weapon and person.) |
-A cultivator who has walked multiple paths receives multiple colors of lightning. More paths, more lightning. More lightning, more tempering. More tempering, more room for growth. The tribulation becomes fatal only when a cultivator has switched paths mid-way without building the necessary foundations — most commonly ... |
Path Switching: If a cultivator switches paths halfway without advancing through the proper realms (e.g., normal cultivators), they cannot withstand the tribulation and must rely on pure luck to survive, unlike cultivators who follow the true paths, who feel only liberation and nourishment. |
Ignorance: Normal cultivators have no clue about this system and charge forward hopelessly on broken paths. |
THE FLAW OF THE "NORMAL" PATH: |
The cultivation method practiced by the majority of the world is fundamentally broken and inefficient. It attempts to mix paths without establishing the necessary foundations. |
The Error: The normal path starts with Qi, skips the perfection of circulation and the main power of the qi path: manifestation and attempts to switch to Soul without a Soul Foundation or high enough Qi. |
The Fatal Flaw: It skips Soul Condensation (the 2nd realm of the Soul path) entirely to touch Soul Split without the previous steps. It only touches Soul Condensation much later when trying to form Soul Formation. By skipping across Soul path realms, cultivators doom themselves. |
The Broken Normal Progression: |
Qi sensing -> Qi condensation -> Qi refining -> (skipping important realms)Foundation establishment -> Golden core -> (erroneous forced switch to soul path without actual cultivation in soul)Nascent soul -> Soul formation -> Loose immortal (Immediate death on trying to cultivate). |
THE TRUE PATHS OF CULTIVATION: |
It does not matter if cultivation is mixed, as long as the specific path is followed from the beginning without skipping realms. While ancient cultivators usually picked only one or two due to lifespan and aptitude limits, it is possible to cultivate multiple simultaneously if one is diligent. At the end one must exper... |
