Genesis Qi Cultivation Art

**Genesis Qi Cultivation Art** (源气功法), or **Grade 1-9 Genesis Qi** (品的源气), are cultivation technique that assimilates its unique characteristics to the yuan master's genesis qi. It can be replaced by other, better Genesis Qi Cultivation Arts during the progress of the yuan master's cultivation. If replaced, most yuan masters focus on compatibility and genesis qi Grades.

When one enters the Qi Nourishing Realm, the genesis qi in the body would remain at the most basic attribute state because he or she has not learned any Qi cultivation arts. This naturally means that his or her attacks do not have any special effects and are much weaker than others.

For instance, a fire-type genesis cultivation art would give the master's genesis qi attribute of fire and explosive power.

(品的源气) There are 9 grades of Genesis Qi Cultivation Arts that help refine the genesis qi energy inside the body and amplifies the yuan techniques that are associated the best with the cultivation art. The cultivation arts each have low-tier to high-tier subdivisions per grade. The higher the grade, the greater influence on the natural genesis qi a yuan master can have, therefore, establishing a subtle influence during battle. The 9 grades are the limits of genesis qi non-God Realm yuan masters can access.

* 4th - 6th grade: geniuses or influential nations and sects would cultivate this grade of cultivation method (in the eyes of Cangmang Continent)
	+ Grade 4: available to normal Empires or Countries, the royal family cultivation arts
	+ Grade 5: available to the top sects in low level continents

To further elaborate, the genesis qi absorbed from the world is the most basic ingredient, while the qi cultivation method is the blueprint or instructions. Genesis resources are supplementary materials that can be added according to the blueprint. It is through refining and fusing all of these various components together followed by tempering that one will ultimately be able to create genesis qi of one’s own.

After cultivating a Genesis Qi Cultivation Art, it would form special attributes and effects to the yuan master's genesis qi, body, and soul to increase battle power, such as the dragon-type cultivation art can transform the yuan master's skin to dragon scales to increase defense and attack power, or a earth-type cultivation that increases only defense and endurance.
