Grade of cultivation
They were divided into two paths, the path of a cultivator practitioner and the path of a martial artist.
However, in the eyes of the high and mighty Qi warriors, those who had no talent in cultivation had no choice but to retreat and cultivate their martial arts. They belonged to the “Lower Nine Paths” — because martial arts were divided into nine stages.
[Fifteen Stages of Cultivator]
[Lower five]: Also known as the “Mountaineering Five Stages”, draws the heaven and earth origin energy outside of the body to build and strengthen the body’s flesh, muscles, tendons, and blood.
Skin: [Copper Skin] Mastery Stage. When the zhenqi is activated, the skin will be copper colored.
Meat: [Grassroots] If the grass is not removed from the roots, then it will grow again. It is a sign of the extraordinary regenerative abilities of those who have attained mastery in this realm.
Tendon: [Willow Tendon] Once upon a time, there was a talented cultivator surnamed Liu who directly ascended to the fifth level just by refining tendons and became a supreme immortal body. Therefore, it was named after the Willow Tendon. There was also the term “staying in the human realm” because many cultivators who had been hoping to take shortcuts had wandered into the wrong path. The incomplete secret manuals left behind by the Liu cultivators had been wasted and had been lost forever.
Bone: [Bone Spirit] comes from a senior cultivator’s description of “producing a precious bone and a breath or two”. In this realm, the Confucian cultivators had a unique advantage. This was because the Confucius clan placed great importance on nurturing and nurturing the Righteous Energy. Generally speaking, the number of followers was slightly more than others, and the quality was also better.
Body: [Forging Furnace] or [Building Hut]: “In this world, the body is the melting pot.” It could be considered as having one foot in the door of cultivation. The Buddhist and Buddhist cultivators had the greatest advantage in this realm.
(This is also why the Three Churches were established.)
[Medium-fifth level]: Each level is divided into the upper, middle and lower levels.
Cave: Open the door, take in energy and begin to absorb spirit energy from the world. There are 365 acupoints in the human body, just like the 365 natural Blessed Paradises. This is also why humans are the leader of spirits. A man only needed to open nine more acupoints before he could enter the next stage, but a woman needed to open fifteen to advance. The reason why many women with low realms could not advance was because they were blocked, but the more women opened at this realm, the more benefits they would receive from entering the fifth stage.
It was extremely difficult to enter the realm of the abode, because once one decided to open the cave, it would mean that the acupoints in the human body would have to absorb the spiritual energy outside of the body, and at the same time, it would also create a dangerous situation where the sea water would pour into the body. This was because the spiritual energy would have to be absorbed from the countless turbid qi in the world. Seawater flooding — the acupoints and meridians of the human body are like towns and roads, submerged in floods, the land is barren and will never recover. Therefore, the realm of the abode was the first threshold in the true meaning of cultivation. Many cultivators, especially unorthodox cultivators, as well as Qi warriors from small sects without a backer background, were afraid that after their Immortal’s cave failed, they would completely lose the ability to become an immortal, and thus remain in the last realm of the fifth level.
[Observing the Sea]: From “I ascend the building to see a hundred rivers flowing into my heart upon entering the sea”, the world’s spirit energy begins to expand the meridians of the human body (like a river that finally enters the sea, or an official road that expands from the mortal world), the spirit energy gradually condenses, sublimates, and begins to feed back to the body, thus allowing the cultivator to prolong his life. Usually, Qi warriors at this level could live for up to 100 years.
[Dragon Gate]: The rich spiritual energy that has settled in the dantian (Qi Sea) will eventually condense into an aura of essence. It will surge up the body like a carp jumping into a dragon’s gate. If a cultivator failed to break through, they would fall back into their immortal cave, and their dantian, Qi Sea, would completely dry up. Thus, this passage was the second great threshold for cultivators. There were three chances for cultivators of the Dragon Gate Realm to enter, so there was the saying “three is not enough”. If he failed three times, he would be stuck at the Immortal’s cave for the rest of his life.
Jindan (Golden Elixir): “Becoming a Jindan (Golden Elixir), we are the same generation.” It is also described as a “finishing touch” after “carp jumping from a dragon’s gate”. The entire Qi Sea condensed into a golden core. Each cultivator had their own domain. There were even some geniuses who had grand auras when they reached Core Formation, and could cause strange phenomena to occur in Heaven and Earth. There were huge differences in size between the Qi warriors’ “pill rooms”, and there were also differences in their strengths and weaknesses. However, there were also special situations such as’ big but empty ‘,’ small yet wonderful ', and so on. Heaven’s will was hard to predict, but this could not be more than that.
[Nascent Soul]: Cultivators nurture a Yang God or Yin God, if there is a child living in the sea of consciousness, the Confucian cultivator nurtured this “child”, it could be a book or jade carp, or wore a variety of official clothes, or even hold the Imperial Jade Seal (This person is either an authoritative prime minister, or a famous ancient person). The children of the Buddhist family either sat on the lotus throne, or formed seals, or the Bodhisattva lowered its eyebrows or glared at them. Aside from all sorts of things, the Yin Gods of the Daoist Sect also have another unique quality, which is that they are born with a Daoist book that allows them to travel thousands of miles in the future. A Sword Truth cultivator might look like a sword child, but the quality of a sword in his hands differed between superior and inferior. There were some “Inborn Sword Embryos” that had a stroke of luck, the swords in their hands would be the renowned divine weapons and famous swords in all of history.
Other than the armored soldiers, there were a variety of other Yin Masters. Some of them were riding spears, some were carrying bows, some were carrying cauldrons, and so on.
In this world, the so-called reincarnation of a true Buddha was said to contain the incarnation of a Yin God from his previous life. It was said that an immortal from a Taoist sect, a natural sword embryo from a swordsman, the seeds of a scholar from a Confucian school, and the loyal souls of a soldier.
The second level of this realm was enough for the primordial spirit to travel far away from the body and absorb the essence of the sun and moon, as well as the dew to be used as nourishment. Yin gods could also appear in broad daylight. When the Sun God was at night, to ghosts and monsters, it was like the “Great Sun in the mortal world”. A nascent soul began to open seven orifices, which was the same as a seven or eight year old human child. Yin and Yang spirits often had very different temperaments. The so-called “match made in heaven” between cultivators meant that if the origin souls of cultivators of this realm were attracted to each other, they could become a “dao companion”. If the Yin Masters of the same sex saw each other, they would have to do it themselves as Qi warriors of their masters…
The third floor: In the sea of consciousness is a small dimension, Confucianism’s sage, Taoist land immortal, and Buddhism’s golden body are all called after one has entered this realm.
The importance of the ‘realm’ began to become evident. For example, in the academy, it was very difficult for the land deity and the golden arhat to contend with a Confucian saint.
After entering this realm, one’s lifespan would be at least three hundred years, or at most six hundred years.
The first five stages were also known as the “five stages of longevity”.
Jade Pu: Mastery of Qi Cultivating, returning to the basics. At the same time, it allows the body to reach perfection. Cultivates the “Stainless Glass Body”, the “Great Firmament Golden Immortal Body”, and so on.
A lifespan of at least five hundred years, at most eight hundred years, or even a thousand years. To be able to invade one’s body without fear, one’s accumulation of spiritual energy had gradually reached a bottleneck. Therefore, there wasn’t much difference between cultivating on the mountain and cultivating under the foot of the mountain. The reason why female cultivators dream about entering this realm the most is because they have a chance to change or beautify their original appearance, and also to ensure that their ‘looks are not bad’. (A person who has been a ‘fixture’ since his mother’s birth actually has to deal with a person’s looks.
This realm was divided into two realms, the Heaven and Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm.
Thus, in the circle of cultivators, there were the words “not afraid of meeting the old, but afraid of encountering the young”, “the mountain is one hundred years old, the world has been a thousand years old”, and so on.
The core of the “Qingming World”, which was ruled by the Daoist sects, was the Xuan Capital Ancestral Court. Most of the upper echelons of the cultivators here were in the jade pu stage.
Immortal: Divide into two realms, the Immortal ahead of the others and the Human behind. The former means that you have mastered the Dao and are now far above everyone else. ( However, the truth was that cultivators needed different types of energies in the human world as food to advance their cultivation level. Spirit energy could no longer be raised. The latter was a reminder to cultivators of this realm to not forget the original intentions of immortals. In fact, it was the energy of mortals, and even the energy of low-level Qi warriors. They could no longer fill the stomachs of these immortals, so they had to devour the entire country’s boundless destiny.)
Attachment: The source of this realm, comes from “Laozi”, chapter 77: "The way of heaven, is also bow and! The higher the better, the lower the better, the less the worse, the less the less the better. Humans, on the other hand, were not the case. If they didn’t suffer enough, it would be more than enough. How could it be more powerful than this? There are only Dao cultivators. " The characteristic of the “Heavenly Dao” lies in the reduction of excess and insufficient supply, while “Humanity”, on the contrary, is “insatiable greed” and “the richer the rich, the poorer the poor”. Therefore, the cultivation of a Qi warrior and his longevity were in and of themselves a rebellious action that went against the flow and left him with no way out. This was because once a person was reincarnated, as long as he was unable to enter the last two realms of cultivation, he would still be turned into dust and become dust under the pressure of the Heavenly Grinders. The active entrance of Confucianism, the persuasion of Buddhism towards goodness and Taoism, and the unadulterated cause and effect of Taoism are all in fact the helpless compromises made by the patriarchs of the various sects after they have “studied heaven, broke life and death”, “run head to head into the south wall” and “never pass by the river”, all in order to delay the rebound of the pressure of the Heavenly Dao.
“Only after a long life will one know that there is a profound mystery between life and death.”
[Soaring]: It is already the peak of “The world”, but the next life is only this much. (It is just that people view it as a situation where cultivators at this level find themselves in an awkward situation and have no next life to speak of. So, they can only break through the barrier and fly upwards to the legendary Heavenly Court.) However, once one entered this realm, they would be discovered by the heavens. They would be considered a great bandit or great bandit of this world, and they had to be removed as soon as possible. Therefore, top Qi warriors in this realm would not appear so easily, or else they would be forced to ascend, and if they failed, their souls would scatter. Therefore, he was mocked by the “scholar” as the “King of Millennium, eighty thousand years of tortoise”.
[Lost 2]: Any cultivator will keep his mouth shut, and will not reveal his secret to anyone. The Heavenly Court, which was always suspected as having witnessed the Heavenly Dao and being able to become the “Heavenly Heavens”, now referred to as the “Heavenly Immortal” stage (habitually referred to as the “Worldly Immortal Stage”), and was truly at the same lifespan as the heaven and earth.
[Martial Arts Nine]:
Body refining third level:
Mud Embryo Realm: Unbearably rough. When he was at the peak of perfection, he was like a clay Buddha. His Qi had sunk into his dantian and he was as motionless as a mountain.
Second level of the Wood Embryo Realm: From coarse to fine. Mastery level, skin texture precision, as if the seal engraving inscription. Widen the meridian, “open the mountain” realm, the bone, drop water piercing stone.
- Silver Mirror of Water: The blood is thick like mercury, but the weight is lighter. Breaking through the threshold required one to pass through a tribulation. It was called crossing a river in the presence of the muddleheaded Bodhisattva.
Third level of Qi Refining: Heroic Soul, Heroic Soul, in the end, there was only one gallbladder. It was collectively known as the Small Grandmaster Realm.
Third level of the Spirit Refinement realm: Grandmaster Realm.
Diamond realm: also known as the small grandmaster realm. Those who were proficient in this realm could cultivate the so-called undefeatable Vajra Body, or the so-called Stainless Glass and Golden Immortal Body of the Daoist Sect. can be driven, hired, prayed for in three ways,
Ascension Realm: Able to hover in the air and fly on the wind. Therefore, it was also known as the “Excursion”.
Peak of the mountain: The last realm, known as the “stop stage grandmaster”: describes the martial arts beneath one’s feet as having come to an end. Although it wasn’t enough to move mountains and overturn the seas, it was still able to split walls and split rivers with a fist. His physical body was extremely tyrannical, even surpassing the Buddhist Arhat body. Once a practitioner gets close enough, unless they have a high quality defensive treasure or higher, they will die without a doubt.
Attachment: The root and core of the ninth level of the martial dao are the words “Qi dissipation”. Therefore, it is the complete opposite of the path of a practitioner.
At the Refinement Realm, the first step was to eliminate all of the Houtian energy, be it the foul energy or the primordial essence, as much as possible. The Qi Cultivating Stage, however, was different. The Qi Cultivating Stage was a process of removing turnips and vegetables. One had to carefully filter out the Qi from one’s body, using it as a ‘foundation’ for the path of cultivation and the ‘pedestal’ for the high-rise building in the Qi Sea.
The reason why the soldiers could cultivate both at the same time was because they would first practice martial arts and only after they had cultivated their bodies to the peak of perfection. It was completely righteous to crazily absorb the killing intent, evil aura, and death aura from the battlefield to fill one’s meridians and create a Qi Sea that was completely different from a Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator’s Soul, so all of the soldiers’ Nascent Souls were Yin Gods.
Attachment 2: Immortals practice cultivation. They both need to cultivate their strength, but also their mental state. They also need to cultivate their mental strength, and they need to divide their mental strength into mountain and mountain. In the secular world, he had crawled and rolled for too long. He had entered into the world too little. He had fallen to the point where he could not get up. He had wasted twenty years of his time and had retreated instead of advancing.
Attachment 3: In addition to the earlier explanation of the origin of the martial arts realm, in the middle and late stages, people would usually use a more concise title. From low to high, they are respectively rank 9 experts to rank 1 experts.
[Hierarchy of Cultivators and Hierarchy of Magic Treasures]:
Craftsman Items: Items crafted by ordinary craftsmen.
Heavy weapons: In the eyes of experts in the secular world, “cutting iron like mud”, “blowing the hair off your head”, the divine weapons, belong to this category. The material was good, meticulously forged. Ordinary cultivators, especially the rootless duckweed cultivators, Rogue Immortals, “laymen”, and “mountainside people”, could only possess items to this extent.
Spirit Weapon: The love of the world breeds spiritual energy, allowing cultivators to control it. The result is twice the result with half the effort. At a critical moment, he could even use the price of destroying his foundation to repay his master.

The Mansion of the Great Sage Yan, with the Zhao Family of the Heavenly Master Manor of the Dragon Tiger Mountain; The Moor Family of the Mo Family, the Sima Family, the Lu Family of the Yin Yang Family, with a thousand years of heritage. They were collectively known as the residence of the saints of all four directions, and they all belonged to the super first-rate “separatist” powers.

- [The Gods of the land of the secular dynasty]
(1) The gods of water, such as the gods who can openly enjoy the incense of the people, have a mixed background. They may be loyal courtiers of the previous dynasty who died after being cast into the water, or may be the monsters of the water tribe who took on the form of refined monsters and were then enlisted by the dynasty, or may be the many races of dragons that have not yet been transformed into dragons. Royal instruments, specifications for “golden jade books”, “red gold books” and a lower class of “red lacquer silver books”.
(2) City God who is spread throughout the prefectures and counties, a county order similar to that of a human official, guarding one side and holding a position of inferiority but holding a great deal of authority.
(3) The two temples in the region are the reduced version of the temple in the imperial palace of the dynasty, only having a statue of the most sacred Confucianism. The other holy men who accompany the saints do not have to create statues, but rather the statues themselves, which serve as a sacrifice to the local temple of the language, are the famous scholars, scholars, scholars, and models of morals whose names have been recorded in the annals of the local counties. Most of the time, the Wen Temple was a Wen Chang Pavilion that was about the same size as a City God Pavilion.
The origin of the deities worshiped by the temple varied. They could be from ancient martial generals of local origin, famous generals who had once guarded this place, or ghosts who were close to others. After being bestowed the title “Scarlet” by the imperial government, they were promoted to the ranks of divine gods and martial practitioners.
(4) The Mother’s Temple: Honorable women such as the Goddess, who have been appointed after their deaths and have been given the protection of women in the territory under their exclusive jurisdiction. Especially respected by the brothel girl, and treated as a marriage temple by the girl.

Mountain God: Five Mountain God. The Blessed Paradise and the famous mountain were both sealed and incorporated into the Heavenly Court’s Divine Path system.
Attachment: Pantheon: Sacrifice sites not approved by the official orthodoxy, temples built by commoners without authorization, shrines placed without authorization, etc.
