Cultivation Stage in this novel:
1) Body Refining [Martial arts, not yet step into true cultivation] (锻体期, Duàn tǐ qī): The initial stage of cultivation focused on tempering the body and preparing it for absorbing spiritual energy. The practitioner must expel all the impurities from their body.
Lifespan: Comparable to an ordinary human's lifespan, around 70-100 years.
2) Qi Refining (炼气, Liànqì): Cultivators begin absorbing and refining spiritual energy (Qi) to enhance their physical and spiritual abilities.
Lifespan: Approximately 150 years.
3) Foundation Establishment (筑基, Zhùjī): Cultivators build a foundation for further cultivation by refining their Qi and establishing a stable foundation. Divided into three paths: Human Path, Earth Path, and Heaven Path.
-Human Path: Simplest, focusing on direct foundation building.
-Earth Path: Requires possessing at least three of the five elemental treasures.
-Heaven Path: Most arduous, requiring all five elemental treasures.
Lifespan: Around 200 years.
4) Golden Core (金丹, Jīndān): Cultivators form a Golden Core within their dantian, which acts as a reservoir for spiritual energy and a source of power, after performing core they will facing Heavenly ThunderTribulation as their final test. Just like Foundation Establishment, it also divided into 3 based on their heavenly tribulation: Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
After cultivators pass the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation they can choose to end their tribulation here or to press forward. Thunder that slash them down in 1st stage was ordinary lightning blue heavenly thunder. The 2nd stage (Six-Nine Heavenly Thunder) is dark crimson- Dark Demon Thunder, while the 3rd stage (Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder) is pitch black- Demon Slaying Thunder.
Noted that in final strike of Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was akin to full blown strike of peak Golden Core, almost touching a Nascent Soul's early stage power.
Lifespan: Approximately 500 years.
5) Nascent Soul (元婴, Yuányīng): The Golden Core evolves into a Nascent Soul, which spreads throughout the body, granting greater control over spiritual energy and enhanced abilities.
Cultivators must shatter their Golden Core to form the Nascent Soul, a perilous process that requires immense willpower and preparation.
Lifespan: Around 1,000 years.
6) Soul Transformation (化神, Huàshén): The Nascent Soul transforms into a Divine Soul, granting practitioners immense power and the ability to manipulate laws.
Cultivators must refine their Nascent Soul into a Divine Soul, a process that involves overcoming significant challenges and risks.
Lifespan: Approximately 3,000 years.
7) Dao Comprehension or Enlightenment (悟道 Wùdào): Cultivators comprehend their own unique Dao Law, which becomes the foundation of their power.
The strength of the Dao Law directly determines the cultivator's combat prowess. Reaching this stage requires profound understanding and mastery of one's cultivation path.
Lifespan: Approximately 5,000 years.
8) Combination or Fusion or Unity (合体 hétǐ): Cultivators achieve a perfect harmony between their body, mind, and Dao Law. This stage grants immense longevity and the ability to withstand powerful attacks.
Lifespan: Approximately 10,000 years.
8) Mahayana (大乘, Dàchéng): Cultivators reach the pinnacle of mortal cultivation, achieving a state of near-perfection. They possess unparalleled power and insight, but are still bound by the limitations of the mortal world.
Lifespan: Approximately 30,000 years.
There's stage after Mahayana called—> Transcendence stage (羽化期 Yǔhuà qí). This stage happen because of some reason cultivators on Mahayana stage can't ascend to the Immortal realm, thus emerge this stage. At this stage cultivators just have boost of their strength as they advanced, but not their lifespan.
Note: 神 (shén) has meaning God, Soul, Spirit, and Divine. Maybe in later chapter you will found of me using this kind of variation tho~
Tier 1 Bodies/Physique:
Taiyin Body = Lunar Sovereign Body. Pinnacle of Yin align physique
Taiyang Body = Solar Sovereign Body. Pinnacle of Yang align physique
Great Wilderness Holy Body = Great Desolate Holy Body. Pinnacle of Power align physique
Five Elements Holy Body. Pinnacle of Elements align physique. As it able to wield "any" elements freely in complete state. So far only 1 person beside Su Min that able to make this physique complete or fully awaken, as the prequest to fully awaken this physique is absurdly difficult.
Spiritual Dao Holy Body. Pinnacle of Dao or Law align physique. The wielder able to wield any Dao's freely.
Saint = Holy = Sacred
Such as Five Elements Sacred Body= Five Elements Holy Body. In later chapter maybe I will also use this kind of variation. But I will keep it same when write her Character's Sheet
Su Min Character's Sheet: Chapter 1, 3, 29, 109, 139, 156, 218
