So how do you cultivate? So since you can sense qi, you guide it to your meridians, but how? You need technique. Breathing technique like yoga or meditation as it allows you to control it. Depending on your technique, it differs on efficiency, how many you can control and which pathways it goes to in your meridian chan... |
So whats the goal now in early part? Qi is not gas but it can be similar to a gaseous state so you store it in your dantian. what if it gets full? you will further refine this qi until it turns into droplets. thats how you also level up your cultivation. You will always start with 1st qi refinement, then 2nd qi refinem... |
So what now? once you are filled to the brim, full of what liquid qi? You now have the qualifications to move to the next stage. Its called foundation establishment. You will try your best to expand your metaphysical qi storage called dantian til the puddle you form become a stream, a lake until a sea. |
(did you watch naruto? the kyuubi '9 tailed fox' as big as burj khalifa is sealed inside naruto'. He can access it using his mind. Your dantian is similar) maybe its just a 0.5 sqm apartment. maybe even smaller, but you try to expand it. Once you reach a certain size, you have broken through the early stage (level 1) o... |
note: xanxia came from china and they love sayings idioms phrasing whatsoever. so there are also novels where they implemented that "HAVING A SOLID FOUNDATION" is important. Like a house / building maximum height / storeys / floors will be limited if you don't have a solid foundation (saying that you cannot go much on ... |
Basically you try your best to compress everything in hopes you can solidify this qi and turn it into a core. usually sphere in shaped making all stored ocean of qi in your dantian to be compressed and solidify. If successful, you can now touch the mysteries of the universe, similar to how you cant sense qi without spi... |
In this stage, it differs by novel cause you know, authors. Any way, the idea is you will use your new golden core to NOURISH your soul. Soul? can you even detect your soul? yeah somehow you can feel it once you reach this stage. Once fully nourished which means you also reach the max level of this stage which is peak ... |
As an early stage nascent soul expert, you can now explore the world using your nascent soul. You feel closer to the dao (laws of the world and how it operates. it feels like youre a physicists). Even if your body dies, your soul can escape. You can also possess another body to be reborn somehow. |
The next stages are now grey area cause most novels would have different names / interpretation at this point. |

Some additional info about Dao an example from real life. |
preliminary understanding - moving your hand is something you can do naturally with just a thought |
entry understanding - it seems you can increase the pace of moving your hands and strength |
minor understanding - it seems that an organ called brain moves your hand by sending signals |
some understanding - then how do you control your brain? Do you do it naturally? (more questions) |
understanding - who am I? am I the brain? Does that mean I am just made up of blob organ operating a skeletal robot (bones) made up with flesh armor(body) ? |
further understanding - so what's my existence if not the brain? soul? spirit? Where am I contained? |
So do you get the gist? basically you're trying to understand something and then it gets more complicated and complicated. the more you understand. And thats just one aspect, moving your hand. If you have comprehended a lot already, it looks like this: |
further (some more) understanding - wait so I affect the particles elements around me when I move my hand like this (you're now spreading your understanding of dao) |
further (a lot) understanding - wait so moving my hand and swinging it like this causes typhoon in another part of the world? (butterfly effect and how the world works) |
at the end it goes like this |
peak understanding - I understand what the big bang is, whats before that. Whats inside the event horizon of black holes. I can create an unlimited realities, universes, i am God. |
For millenials, I bet you would understand this even more if you know Matrix. In Matrix, they are all hackers bending the rules of the world right? They can jump higher, move faster and punch stronger. Neo went on steroids and bended the law of the world and he could fly. its similar to what characters in xanxia do wit... |
