Furthermore, these are just additional information to the original cultivation sequence at the beginning of the novel... Hence, the birth of this SUB-CHAPTER... See Chapters 6 & 7 for more details... Enjoy... Thanks... Author...

​​

ð Qi Creation – This is the stage were the mortal who can now sense the presence of these universal energies and begins to replicate and create his or her own version of it, and it is only at this stage that any mortal within this novel can be considered a true cultivator… Mortals who had reached this stage of cultivation would possess the life expectancy of 500 years...

.

ð Qi Sea – This is the stage where the cultivator who could now draw upon the Universal energy of the universe into him or herself, can actually store it within him or herself for future use…

Cultivators on this stage are way stronger than that of the Qi summoning, because in Qi Summoning, one has to rely on the mercies and luck of the universe to determine the amount of Universal energy they can actually steal from the universe itself, but in this stage, they have actually summoned this universal energy and stored it within their body which means that they don't need to rely on the mood of nature that day before they can use the abilities of Qi…

Cultivators within this realm, have a life expectancy of at least 1,000 years…

.

ð Dan Formation – This is the stage where all the Qi a cultivator had gathered forms an incubating chamber… Cultivators within this realm have a life expectancy of about 5,000 years, and this incubating chamber would be the container where all the further Qi a cultivator accumulates stores until they are pure and potent enough to form a Qi Body [Soul], which brings us to the next cultivation stage;

ð Nascent Soul – This is the stage where the Qi Body within a cultivator's Dan develops and grows into an actual soul, and at this stage, a cultivator would have the life expectancy of about 10,000 years, and also the ability to create his or her first clone… if the cultivator finds an empty body to house it, that is… or else, this new soul would reside within the body of the cultivator till he or she finds another entity to house the soul…

.

ð Saint - This is the stage where a cultivator merges all his or her nascent souls together into one mystic and transcendent saint soul which is connected to the entire planet within which that cultivator resides to an extremely intimate level...

Thus, due to this connection to the planet, they are able to manipulate not only gravity but every other properties of aviation and as a result gain the flight ability....

Cultivators who have gotten to this stage would have a life expectancy 50,000...

.

ð Nirvana - This is the stage where the cultivator then comprehends the mysteries of reincarnation, which grants the cultivator a semi immortal level of life force, which ensures that should the cultivator be killed, he or she would still be able to come back to life via reincarnation, if the cultivator in question managed to escape with his or her soul intact...

It is experts of this level that self detonates in a bid to escape a precarious or life threatening situation, before fleeing in their soul form and eventually using their comprehension of the 'Cycle of Reincarnation' to send their souls into the yellow springs of the netherworld with a seal that forcefully puts them into the cycle of reincarnation...

Experts who have reached this level have a natural life expectancy of 100,000 years...

.

ð Immortal - This is the stage where a cultivator who had succeeded in completing the Nirvana Trials, will see their nirvana souls get purified by the tribulation lightning of the heavens... since cultivation is against the will of the heavens and they frown on it, it is even much more perilous for one to cultivate into true immortality which is something the heavens take pride and joy in destroying...

For experts in this stage, they do not need to enter the cycle of reincarnation to live on unlike the Nirvana stage, rather, they can actually just wander around in their soul form until they find any physical body that suits them and then reside within... this is just like Lang Su and Min Qing...

Lastly, just like the name suggests, the life expectancy of experts in this stage is close to infinite...

ð Celestial - In this stage, asides from having a double portion of every properties of the Immortal stage, the cultivator would also see his or her immortal soul be purified by heavenly flames, which would then rid the cultivator's immortal soul of every single attachment it has to the physical dimension of the living...

A cultivator in this level would then be able to transcend from the physical realm of existence into the spiritual realm...

[Any further information asides the current summary, concerning every cultivation stage from this point onwards would be revealed in latter chapters...]

.

ð Demi god - Cultivators in this stage do not have their powers measured in terms of the amount of Qi they absorb, since they have more or less transcended such a level... Rather, their powers is measured by the Wishes, which could only be obtained from actually beings who worship the cultivators....

ð *god* - This stage is also similar to the demi god stage asides the fact that, their powers aren't measured by wishes, rather by Grace which comes from the prayers of every single religion that worships these cultivators... there are also more intricate details which would be explained in latter chapters...

ð Autarch - Cultivators on this level have become the true embodiments of Daos themselves, thus, they become divine and spiritual entities that lesser cultivators or mortals will actually comprehend... then the normal techniques of the cultivators in these Autarch realm will now become divine abilities for the lesser cultivators...
