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: Spiritual 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 grimy water.) Normally, the more elements in a root, the more fragmented the... |
During soul externalization, the roots are visible. if roots are completely mixed, then the person has melded their comprehension together and is just as talented as a heavenly root. If they are completely separate, they are a genius who can switch between comprehension frameworks at will and are not too inferior to he... |
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 solid... |
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 another.... |
The Truth of Heavenly Tribulation: |
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 sw... |
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. |
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 further i... |
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. |
At the end one must experience every mortal profession, and integrate it into their worldview in order to be a proper Red Dust Immortal. |
THE THREE MAIN PATHS |
THE MIND PATH (hard without imagination and concentration) |
Progression: 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 (through pure Mind alone) -> Yellow Heaven Immortal. |
THE SOUL PATH (hard to start without repeated near-death experiences) |
Progression: Soul sensing -> Soul condensation (Soul Formation in broken path) -> Soul refining -> Soul contemplation -> Soul extension -> Soul externalization -> Soul split (nascent soul in broken path) -> Soul solidification -> Soul sight -> Soul manipulation -> Soul possession -> Soul touches world (Soul-telekinesis... |
THE BODY PATH (longest path; hard without endurance and patience) |
Progression: 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, Ki... |
THE SUPPLEMENTARY PATH |
Usually picked to nourish the other paths. It is rarely cultivated to Red Dust due to the extreme exponential difficulty rise after the Golden Core, though it is possible and valid to do so. |
THE QI PATH (hard without patience and guidance. Still hard with guidance.) |
Progression: Qi sensing -> Qi condensation -> Qi refining -> Qi circulation (skipped in broken, don't skip) -> Qi manifestation (skipped in broken, don't skip) -> Foundation Establishment -> Golden Core -> Golden Cores revolving -> Full body golden core -> True Qi forms the self -> Red Dust Immortal (through pure Qi al... |
THE SPECIALIZED PATHS |
THE WEAPON PATH (hard without solitary training) Progression: Basic weaponstyles -> Weapon as limb -> Intent and weapon as one -> Weapon seed -> Weapon spirit (weapon becomes alive) AND/OR Weapon heart (cultivator transcends need for actual weapon) -> Weapon intent -> Weapon qi -> Man and weapon as one -> Red Dust of w... |
THE YAO PATH (NON-HUMAN) (impossible to start without spiritual herbs or materials) Progression: Qi consumption -> Intelligence -> Demon core -> Human form -> Accumulation of karma (not a stage, but required) -> Red Dust Immortal (for non-humans, through Dao alignment) -> Yellow Heaven Immortal. |
Requirement: Yao can pick other paths (Body, Soul, etc.), but they must reach the Karma Accumulation stage on yao path before attaining Red Dust. |
NOTE: the lost paths in the order of disappearance: 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 for all within.The effect of the formations on cultivators is passively boosting their cultivation and strengthening their foundations while simultaneously removing blockages and ... |
This translates into the modern era as letting only cultivators under a certain realm in. 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. The only thing stopping ancient cul... |
MISCELLANEA: 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, salvageable. |
Quitting and picking another path and going through the stages properly can fix anyone, even the broken path immortals and loose immortals. |
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 wo... |
This includes favouring specific factions, as that faction might suppress a rival who had been suppressing something that would cause harm, or maybe the faction would directly do harm. |
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 single-path red dust immortal can destroy the entire multiverse instantly if they wanted, and have enough control to move quarks separately. |
Their exponential increase in power happens after tribulation, i.e. there is more room for improving themselves before burning out, so the tribulation gives them more. |
It scales quite a bit based on how many realms have been achieved, and does not discriminate between paths. |
A body-path red dust immortal who has gone halfway on all other paths as well would be almost as strong as a dual-mind-soul red dust immortal who climbed both paths completely. |
some bits and bobs: body path is huge due to extremely time-consumingly high cultivation needed to ascend. multipath only really works *after* tribulation. The lifespan lost in broken path is lost forever, and there is a very high probability that they won't live long enough to complete it. Karma is limited to 'bad int... |
Rankings of treasures: Copper, Iron, Jade, Gold, Underlord, Overlord, Archlord, Sage, Herald, and Monarch,(Ascended), Yellow, Black, Earth, and Heaven,(Transcended), Truth, Dao, Void, Chaos, Origin. |

Narrator notes: |
fighting works like this: Mind-path uses domains (jjk style, starts from horizon broadening), Soul-path fights with suppression and truth-questioning (If the definitions of one is completely dismantled, they go back to soul contemplation, starts from soul contemplation), Body-path is wuxia but at xianxia-level (little-... |
METAVERSAL TRUTH: one day in the ancient era the paths were exported, and 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 received the fragments other than their own. The destinations were: Shrouding the Heavens/Perfect... |
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. |
