### Cultivation Explained

There are multiple ways to cultivate, the Internal Path and the External Path, but the most beneficial one is internal cultivation. For the Internal Path, Humans channel their Qi, a life-force type energy that exists in all beings and deals more towards the physical aspect of ones existence, towards the improvement of their bodies, power, and lifespan. And for the External Path, Humans gather the ambient World Qi to supplement their own lack of internal Qi. Usually, Internal Path cultivators are seen as more talented as they have their own Qi that they generate through meditation and/or refining the World Qi they absorb. External Path cultivators need a constant source of Qi to maintain their more metaphysical abilities, but their physical abilities like enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, lifespan, etc., stays with them.

The cultivation method for both Internal and External Path cultivators starts off the same, with meditation, sensing their own Qi and/or the ambient World Qi, and with breathing techniques that draw in the Qi from the surroundings. Once a cultivator has been "enlightened", they have entered the Qi Breathing Realm, where they gain a natural understanding of their own physical body and make-up and a special connection with Qi. A cultivator in this realm displays a small increase in physical strength, a usually calm behavior and temperament, and a desire to understand the newest connection that they have gotten. This realm of cultivation is all about gathering or generating enough Qi for the next realm, Foundation Establishment. In Foundation Establishment, cultivators gather and refine their Qi to the best of their abilities, condensing it into the most packed form that they can and storing it all inside their Dantian, which usually rejects Qi at this realm of power.

The order of realms goes like this: Mortal Realms, Saintly Realms, Celestial Realms, Cosmic Realms, Versal Realms, Eldritch Realms, Absolute Realms, Conceptual Realms, Endless Realms, Primordial Realms, and it finishes with the Omniarch Realm.
