Cultivation Realms and Paths

Each star adds to their might and every increment of five gives them a huge boost. Rigorous cultivation and vast resources are needed just to break through a single star.

Awakened realm = That realm which opens the doors for cultivation. Learning how to use your qi starts here : 2 stars.

Ardent Warrior realm = Once broken through, the cultivator will be able to tell which qi element they possess : 10 stars.

Dao Challenger = Able to freely control the element of their qi to make basic attacks like fireballs or lightning blasts. The sturdiness of their body might be more durable than your average human but their strength remains the same : 15 stars.

Grandmaster realm = Boasting above average strength than most cultivators below. The bottleneck for subpar cultivators : 20 stars.

Divine Champion realm = His or her body can now be considered superhuman, possessing phenomenal strength. Their bodies cease to age. Most do not even transcend to this realm until they are 40 or above, hence young cultivators that do are immediately regarded as talented : 25 Stars.

Supreme Tyrant realm = The majority of cultivators would regard this as the summit. Complete mastery over one's elemental qi which allows the user to develop techniques unique to them : 30 Stars.

Peerless Daeva realm = The realm where cultivators start to become regarded as monsters.Their strength transcends common sense and are akin to walking calamities : 35 stars.

True Immortal realm = Possessing the strength to destroy entire cities with ease : 40 stars.

Transcendent Immortal realm = One realm away from becoming a full blown God, allowing them to tweak reality to better serve their already out of this world fighting capabilities : 90 stars.

Celestial Overlord = Living universes, fated to bind all of creation. Two celestial overlords cannot exist at a time for they would inevitably clash and subjugate the other to their will.

Cultivation Paths:

Elemental path = The traditional path. Using your basic qi element to cultivate in order to open up limitless possibilities.

Physical path = More apt for cultivators with Earth or Iron qi. You channel your qi through every fiber of your being, giving you a body as robust as your element.

Alchemy path = Total devotion towards alchemy. The path for cultivators who enjoy concocting pills, elixirs, and various medicines. If used with ill intent, they can just be as deadly as the other paths.

Arms master path = Mastery towards every weapon.

Dual cultivation path = Declared as taboo by some while others practice it openly. It is the process of absorbing your partner's qi through intercourse.

A cultivator can dabble in every path but some just stick to one path in order to fully reap its benefits.
