Glossary (Not finalized but posted for excitement)
Again this is incomplete and it will change from time to time so readers should not depend on the cultivation realms too much as of now that is and....enjoy :)
Cultivation realms:
Foundation establishment, Qi gathering, Meridian opening, Pure Energy realm, Saint Realm, Devine realm
(Others will be updated after the story progresses)
What you'll see below:
1. Cultivation realm
2. Martial arts stages
3. Concepts
~~~~~~~~~~~
Summary:
Foundation establishment: Wall to House level
Qi gathering: Building to Skyscraper level
Meridian opening: Mountain to Island level
Pure Energy realm: Country to Continental level/Multi-continental
Saint Realm: World level
Devine realm: Star level to Half Solar System level
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: The thing about cultivation is that one's body looks and feels just like anyone else's without cultivation, the only difference is that they have a very soft skin but despite that, the body is fully protected. (because why not)
Energy: This is the form of energy that is present in most worlds. However the absence of this energy is not harming at all. Different worlds have different names for this energy, for example, "Spiritual power", "Ki", "Qi", "Mana", etc.
Even if Qi is present everywhere it doesn't feel any different than non Qi worlds. For example Earth is a non Qi world but it wouldn't feel any different if it suddenly got immense Qi. The atmospheric pressure and everything else will remain same.

Foundation establishment:
The starting point of cultivation for most of the living organisms. In this stage one has to temper their internal organs and external to the limit of normal human body, Pills are absolutely necessary to increase in this realm. But they can be ignored as well, however the time required to breakthrough will be significant.
This stage has four minor realms: Organs tempering, Bones tempering, Muscles tempering and Skin tempering.
|
Attack power: From wall to house level. It is said that they can bend a metal rod easily and destroy a big rock.
Estimated life span is 150 years in total.
100 human years plus 50 extra years from the cultivation realm.
For species who's original age exceed the human this works the same. For example elfs live 500 years plus 50 years from cultivation realm. 550 years in total.

Qi gathering realm:
After building a solid foundation in the previous realm, one has to circulate Qi inside their body from every corner to get used to the Qi. However, they can't use this Qi outside their body because it would harm them more than the opponent.
The inside of the dantian of a cultivator would look like a violent sea. For the Qi representing the water.
If someone makes an "Elemental Core" it will just float on the sea of Qi.
Common misconception among the young cultivators is that after reaching the next major realm they can take out massive amount of Qi like that sea in their dantian. But that is not true. Even though it looks like they have that much Qi, it is just an illusion.
|
Attack Power: Can be considered building level
Estimated life span is (Remaining life span plus 200 years).
For example if a person had 150 years of life from the foundation establishment stage and it took them 10 years to get to Qi gathering realm, that would mean they have 140 years left. So, 140+200 years. Total life span is updated to 340 years.

Meridian opening:
This realm is one of the most liked realm in the lower worlds as someone who reaches this stage is one out of a million on average.
After reaching this realm, a cultivator can finally start their journey with "Qi". A meridian opening expert can use raw Qi however they like.
Not only that but they will awaken a "unique skill" respective to that cultivator's "bloodline" if they have any. For example demi humans will awaken a skill respective to their race.
Moreover the species of 'monster' can choose the path of demonic cultivation starting from here. They can change their race from 'monster' to "Demon".
Starting from this realm, every realm one would get a unique skill randomly/according to bloodline. The more powerful the skill is, the low chances are of getting that technique.
If someone doesn't have a bloodline they will awaken a random unique skill.
However only Qi can't do much things so cultivators use "Techniques". If techniques are the electrical appliances in a house, Qi is the electricity that needs the appliances to work. Different appliances (Techniques) are used for different purposes.
|
Attack power: Mountain to island level
Four hundred years are added to the total life span after reaching this realm.

Pure Energy realm (True Qi)
After reaching this realm, one has said to have become a greater life form.
The previous three realms are all directed so that you can handle the pressure of "True Qi".
For demons, instead of having the "Purest True Qi" they will have the "Darkest True Qi". True Qi is nothing but a more refined version of the world Qi. This cultivator has to gather world Qi and make it denser and refined.
In lower worlds this realm is only achieved by less than 30 people on average. Out of 5 billion population.
After reaching this realm a cultivator has to form a Golden core inside their dantian. Every minor realm represent how much the Golden core is formed.
Now, the sea that was present previously is now replaced by the space. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call that the real thing because this time, the space is not an illusion. Moreover previously you could only 'look' at the sea through a third person point of view. Now your whole body is present in the dantian itself. You can make adjustments as you wish and move however you like. The Golden Core is as big as an entire solar system even if your power isn't at that level.
Description of space: Everywhere you look, you'll only see darkness and stars, and in the middle of everything you will witness the sight of the "Golden Core". If an individual has made an Elemental Core, that core would revolve around that Golden Core, as if a planet is revolving around their sun.
True Qi is the primary form of the "World Qi" and it is obviously much, much more pure. Even just watching this form with bare eyes several hundred meters away can cause evaporation in the eyes of any non cultivator if the user (True Qi holder) Isn't careful.
This realm is a critical stage for a cultivator whether they be human, demon or some other race
|
Attack power: Country to a continental level. Multi-Continental is also possible with skills.
In comparison, just 4 people from the last minor realm (10th) can destroy earth with their strongest attacks.
There is also an exception of people who are multi continental at the last minor realm.
Additional 1000 years of life is granted.

Saint Realm:
After leaving the Pure Energy realm and stepping into this realm, one is considered as an ascended cultivator. If they are in lower world they must travel to a higher world. Anyone who has ascended from a lower world is given a title, "Earthly deity" those who are already in a higher world will not get this.
One can make an image of themself bigger than a planet itself. If one had to compare, the world would seem like a basketball in front of them. This enables them to destroy even without a proper technique.
|
Attack Power: Planetary to half star level.
In this realm, there are only 3 minor realms, but they can be considered not less than a whole realm as it takes cultivators centuries to just progress through one minor realm.
But the powers gained from every realm increased will be so significant that they can destroy a small sized world like earth in a single attack at 80% strongest attack.
For reference the destruction caused will be as follows with their strongest attacks:
First minor realm (Early): 50,000Km
Destructive power enough to reduce the Earth to smithereens.
Second Minor realm (Middle): 250,000Km
Third Minor realm (Peak): 500,000Km
Destructive power enough to destroy Jupiter.
100 thousand years is added to their life span.

Devine Realm (Origin of all Qi)
At this stage the True Qi will be replaced by the "origin Qi". Origin Qi is the nature of all Qi in the worlds. Origin qi is a law governing all natural phenomena in the currently universe. The one who controls origin Qi controls a very very small fraction of the law. Just like the true Qi, origin Qi does not need any special place to absorb it.
This is the beginning of learning the laws of the universe.
As long as a cultivator in this realm has Qi, they can even travel at light speed. Some may even surpass.
|
Attack power: There are 3 minor stages in this realm Early, Middle and Peak. The damage of their strongest attacks will be as followed with respect to the solar system.
The image will be bigger than a star itself and continue to grow as the strength is increased. However the cultivator can change the size of the image any time they want.
Early: 1 Million Km
Middle: 100 million Km
Destroys several Suns at the same time.
(Sun would now look like a basketball)
Peak: 1 Billion Km.
100 million years is added to their remaining life span.

Martial artist
The Martial Arts is a physical concept that defies the
Suppose a Martial artist can endure attacks only until house level but their attack power is at town level. In this case, their body can't handle their attacks and there is a chance of the body breaking. The vise versa is also true.
Apprentice Martial disciple: House level
Greater martial Disciple: Town level
Expect Rank body: Mountain to Island level

Concepts
Unique Skills: When a cultivator reaches Meridian opening realm, they awaken a unique skill respective to their race and bloodline.
Unique skills are given when one reaches next Major realm.
Meridian opening: (First Unique Skill given)
Pure Energy: (Second Unique Skill given)
Saint Realm: (Third Unique Skill given)
Devine realm: (Fourth Unique Skill given)
There are infinite skills one could awaken for example "Telekinesis", "Gravity", "Weak force", "Strong Force", "Telepathy"
Learning unique skill externally via a concept called
Race skills: The race skill is basically the skill used by the race. For example elfs are species who uses bows (mostly not everyone). Like this, even if they are not from a bloodline they will awaken a Normal Archery unique skill. However there is also a chance of awakening another skills. Which are currently unknown.
Normal Archery: Elfs will awaken a bow skill that gives them immense precision and sight. This skill allows them to use a bow instantly even if they have never practiced and with above athletic skills. However they still have to practice this skill to grow in it. Thus, the effectiveness of this skill vary from person to person.
Humans are one of the beings with no race skills. They are a "balanced" species. Though they are balanced, they are master of none.
They may awaken skills from other races like
Law of nature is that "Everyone, whether they have bloodline or not, Karmic luck or not, must awaken a Unique skill after reaching meridian opening and above major realms.
Dungeons: When a cultivator is near death, they can decide to manifest their energy into a dungeon. However this concept can only be used if the cultivator is not fighting with an enemy or has enough energy according to their cultivation base to make a dungeon of that level.
The cultivator who has made a dungeon can overview it even after their death, and ultimately change the conditions of the dungeon as they wish, but only if their soul/fey is strong. The time they can stay inside the dungeon is decided by their remaining life span. If that cultivator had 100 years of life span left before dying, they can wander inside the dungeon and outside the dungeon only for that time if they want.
However if the cultivator has died of old age, their fey can not do this. The cultivator will go into the cycle of reincarnation and their dungeon will function as per it was designed to.
Fey/soul: This is the soul of every living organism. Cultivators in the Pure energy realm and above can survive even if their physical body is dead. They may find a new body and settle in it or just decide to move on to the reincarnation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Karmic luck: Denoting Good luck or Bad luck. Every species, person and thing has Karmic luck from birth. It is a blessing bestowed upon creatures by Heaven.
There are many more things and concepts I want to add but well this is not the correct time.
