## Overview

### Version 2

**Cosmic Cultivation** is the most widely used cultivation system by Humans and other cultivation capable species in the story of *Journey of Cosmos*. This specific version of cultivation uses a type of energy that interacts with both the metaphysical and physical worlds, often accidently being used by beings with some type of sapience. This energy is called Energones (ener-jons), and it can have miracle effects on most things, even being able to affect aspects of existence like time or space and concepts like dreaming or paths. There are two versions of this type of energy, the normal one used in the Mortal and Immortal Planes, Energones, and the one used in the Chaos Planes, Chaos Particles. Chaos Particles are a direct result of cultivators using Energones to change their fundamental existence into one that embodies the concept that they have decided to understand and gain power through. They are what would make-up their physical and/or metaphysical existence, its what their Avatars would be made of, since they would no longer be beings like Humans, but they would become entire concepts that exist everywhere and at all times.

### Version 1

The act of **Cosmic Cultivation** is the most widely used cultivation system by Humans and other cultivation capable species in the story of *Journey of Cosmos*. This specific version of cultivation is solely based on first connecting the Physical Body and the Soul Body at least enough to actively use Spiriton, increasing the strength of the Physical Body to be able to channel the Soul Body's power, and increasing the connecting and understanding of the Universe that beings could control the Fundamental Forces of the Universe on a cosmic scale. This is for the Mortal Plane of the Cosmos. For the Immortal Plane, cultivators would have already fully connected and united in their Physical Body and Soul Body, making them a Unified Existence. In the Immortal Plane, cultivators would begin looking for deeper meanings, concepts, intents, thoughts and ideas, imaginations, etc., abstract metaphysical things that could enhance their strength.

## Energies

In the Mortal and Immortal Planes, cultivators use Energones as an enhancing and controlling factor for their physical and metaphysical strength, and their power. Energones could be used for a variety of ways, but the most used factor is enhancement and moderation. Cultivators use Energones to enhance their spiritual and physical strength to levels not achievable through natural -and sometimes even supernatural- means. With Energones, they could do things like grow so strong and big that they could literally crush galaxies in the palm of their hands or mind control the entirety of the Universe's population with little to no effort or even manipulate the Laws in ways that would benefit the cultivator in some way. Energones in the grand scheme, give beings the ability and chance to advance and become better versions of themselves, and achieve something truly significant in their life and existence. It gives them the chance to not only understand their own existence and manipulate it to some extant, but also gives them a purpose and a goal for something.

Chaos Particles are a little bit of a different thing, as they are only accessible when one enters the Chaos Planes; Transcendence, Infinity, and Nothingness. Chaos Particles can be seen as the upgraded versions of Energones, or a sub-energy that originates from Energones, or even the other way around, but the point is that Chaos Particles provide not much in terms of physical and spiritual strength, but more in the form of a path to follow. They give people understanding and power of a specific conceptual object or thing that they want to understand and allows them to eventually embody that concept. It gives them the power to go beyond the normally accepted existence, where everything is either Physical or Metaphysical, someplace even beyond most beings, ideas, and concepts. It allows them to become truly infinite and eternal while also given them nigh-omnipotent power over existence.

## Realms of Cultivation v1

### Version 2

Cultivators start their journey of cultivation by first sensing the ambient Spiriton particles, then slowly absorbing them through metaphysical veins that exist on a different spectrum of existence, called Spiritual Veins. As the body of Humans only has 360 Spiritual Veins, however many Veins are naturally unlocked and how many you can manually unlock afterwards determines the talent of an individual cultivator. The levels of talent so far are 1-10, with ten being the highest and one being the lowest. Each level of talent being 36 Veins unlocked. To enter the next realm, after unlocking all the Spiritual Veins that they can, they need to create some type of "heart-like" structure at the Spiritual Meeting, where all the Spiritual Veins connect.

Cultivation connects the Physical Body with the Soul Body, which is connected to everything in the Universe in some way, but is also restrained by the Physical Body. This allows cultivators to control the Universe and its elements with great frivolity and power, while also making the Physical Body stronger so that is does not hold down the Soul Body's power.

#### Ideas

* For the first realm, cultivators will first sense the ambient Spiritons, then guide those Spiritons to travel through their already opened Spiritual Veins. With the Spiritons in the Veins, cultivators will use it to open more Veins. Once all the Veins are full, and they can't open any more, cultivators will need to coalesce their Spiritons at the center of their being, where they need to apply such force that the Spiritons fall into a black hole type construct.
* The Spiritons will later allow for cultivators to make a connection between the body and soul, allowing for better understanding and power.
* The amount of Spiritual Veins that are naturally opened and the amount that you can open on top of that are a clear indication of your talent. In the first realm of cultivation, Humans gather and use the Spiritons to strengthen their bodies and unlock more Veins. In the second realm of cultivation, Humans are able to use Spiritons to consciously augment their bodies and using specific techniques for martial or other Spiriton related arts. In the third realm of cultivation, Humans

This great realm has five stages: 1st, 2nd, third, 4th, and 5th. Beings at this realm can live anywhere from 500,000 to 1,000,000 max years. To enter the next great realm, beings need to condense their Immortal Gi into a small star that orbits their Law Core.
