Cultivation

## **Cultivation Ranks**

* The **Postnatal Realm** was divided into nine stages that cultivated True Essence within the body to clear the arteries and the veins, and it provided an increase in one’s lifespan of 60 years. After arriving at this realm, one would be robust and strong with Blood Essence that surges like a tide, and they will be devoid of disease.
* The **Congenital Realm** was also divided into nine stages which practice breathing the energy of the heavens and the earth to cultivate the heart and stabilize the mind, and it provided an increase in one’s lifespan of 100 years. Upon arriving at this realm, one will have cleared and slipped out of their mortal shell to allow the physique to contain spirit; however, among the myriad people in the world, very few were able to step into the Congenital Realm

* The **Violet Palace Realm** steals the energy of heaven and earth to develop a Violet Palace within the Dantian. Every time one’s cultivation level increases, a True Essence star would appear within their Violet Palace, and when nine stars were strung together, the Violet Palace can be considered to have attained perfection.
	+ This realm was also called the Realm of Touching Stars. Arriving at this realm provided an increase in one’s lifespan of 500 years. Only after reaching this realm could it be said that a cultivator had established the foundation of cultivating in the Dao and had truly stepped onto the road to immortal cultivation and can fly through the sky.

## **Origin Creation Technique**

The 1st level is the Chrysalis Realm, and it’s divided into nine levels. Cultivating it to perfection would be equivalent to possessing strength comparable to an Immortal King.

The 2nd level is the Apotheosis Realm, and it’s called the 5 levels of Apotheosis, and its name was derived from the transformation into a god. Cultivating it to perfection would be equivalent to being at the Daolord Realm.

The 3rd level is called the Fate Realm, and it’s derived from the grasp of one’s own fate. However, this is merely a thought of mine, and I’m unable to realize it now. Unless I’m able to step foot into the Daolord Realm one day, then perhaps I’ll be able to complete the cultivation technique for the 3rd level.

## **Equipment Ranking**

Immortal Artifacts were divided into various different grades, and they were roughly divided into the ordinary, Darkspirit Grade, Cosmic Grade, and so on and so forth.

Immortal Artifacts in the Immortal Dimension were divided into the **Ordinary Grade**, **Darkspirit Grade**, **Cosmic Grade**, **Valiant Grade**, and **Void Grade**. Every single grade was divided into three ranks of high, medium, and low. Similarly, immortal materials were divided into five stages according to this, and it was respectively the low-stage, mid-stage, high-stage, extreme-stage, and king-stage. Each of them corresponded to one of the five grades of Immortal Artifacts.

Divine Artifacts were existences that exceeded the scope of Void Grade Immortal Artifacts!

## Shaman Treasure

A Shaman Treasure was a weapon utilized by body refiners. Unlike the Magic Treasures used by qi refiners, the refining of Shaman Treasures was extremely difficult. Moreover, it could only be refined by the body refiner itself.

Because there was only a single material to refine Shaman Treasures, the corpse of an Ancient Fiendgod. The bones, teeth, meridians, nails, and even the hair and eyes of an Ancient Fiendgod could be refined into a Shaman Treasure, and only the corpse and bones of an Ancient Fiendgod could fuse with the Shaman Energy and exert a might similar to the might of a Magic Treasure.

Moreover, every single Shaman Treasure had to be fed and nurtured with the body refiner’s own Blood Essence and had to be ceaselessly tempered with Shaman Energy to remove the impurities within it. Only in this way would the Shaman Treasure attain a state of being completely fused with the body refiner and be commanded at will.

But the corpses of Ancient Fiendgods were extremely rare in the Darchu Dynasty, and it was even to the extent of being rarer than Immortal Artifacts. It was precisely because of this that 99% of the body refiners in the world didn’t possess a Shaman Treasure to use at all, and it was obvious how precious a Shaman Treasure was from this.

Of course, even if they didn’t possess a Shaman Treasure, a body refiner would still be able to completely crush qi refiners at a similar cultivation by relying on their bodies that were comparable to Magic Treasures.

## Dao Insight

The so-called four realms and 12 levels of Dao Insight was the division of the Dao Insights comprehended by cultivators into 12 levels and four realms. The first three levels were the Elementary Realm, attaining the 6th level was the Initial Realm, attaining the 9th level was the Advanced Realm, and attaining the 12th level was the Perfection Realm.

When the Dao Insight mastered by a cultivator attained the Initial Realm, the phenomenon of Dao Insight taking form would appear. Moreover, once achieving this state, cultivators would be able to start condensing Dao Territories.

Something that must be pointed out was that the phenomenon of Dao Insight taking form could only be developed by mastering a Grand Dao Insight, whereas, Minor Daos were incapable of this.
