CULTIVATION BASICS :
Before the Dao realm is the mortal realm.
In a general way, cultivation starts by comprehending the Dao, understanding the Dao, Mastering the Dao. then using this mastered Dao or comprehended Dao, to reach out to a bigger Dao source and once again comprehend it, understand it, and finally master it. There is another way and that is a bit more difficult but still more than 30% of the cultivators step on this path because it gives out a lot more power and it is known to have a better future, it is the way of Dao ranking up, assimilate the comprehension of another Dao in your initial Dao (the initial Dao must be mastered), evertime the cultivator ranks up a level, he has to go trough a tribulation.
DAO RANKING :
-Minor Way = The way of cultivating it can be found in the your everyday life, you can find its source everywhere, it's comprehension is widespread, comprehending it is simple, understanding it is difficult but mastering is simply known to be almost impossible: The lifespan depends on the comprehension
-Major Way = This Way is difficult to find, there is multiples source but finding them is difficult or uncommon in your daily life, and concentrated sources which make the way easier to comprehend who have been already found are almost certain to have some kind of form of power monopolizing it. The rare ones that aren't private are in places difficult for an organization to settle in. The comprehension is more difficult, the understanding is of the same difficulty, and the mastering is somehow a bit easier. Cultivator just have to solidify their understanding and pass a test (tribulation). : The lifespan depends on the comprehension

The MC is half-way trough understanding the way of the Universe, the same level as his arch nemesis. He reached this level far later than the "Goddess of Slaughter". he died and reincarnated using an art created by the Madman.
Legend says that there is a level above the Universe level.
The naming of each Way weren't directly transmitted by the Way itself, The Way only transmitted the fact that the comprehension they make in itself is named Way. Basically, The Way itself didn't define which Way was Minor and which Way was Major.
I am made a bit of fixing by replacing Dao by Way as I feel like you would understand it better.
