- Cultivation Paths
In this world, cultivation isn't just about brute force—it involves alchemy, formations, martial arts, and intelligence-based growth.
Cultivation Stages:
Each cultivator must refine their Qi (spiritual energy) to advance through these stages:
Body Refinement (Strengthening the body)
Qi Condensation (Harnessing energy)
Foundation Establishment (Creating a stable core)
Core Formation (Forming a powerful inner energy core)
Nascent Soul (Manifesting a soul projection)
Divine Ascension (Becoming semi-immortal)
Higher realms exist, but they are locked for now.
•Special Cultivation Techniques:
Sword Cultivation (Ji Ren's Path): Focuses on precision, speed, and sword energy.
Illusion Cultivation (Qin Ziyan's Path): Uses mental energy and deception.
Formation Cultivation (Xiao Lian's Secret Path): Uses intelligence, runes, and barriers to trap or weaken enemies.
Alchemy & Formations
Alchemy: The art of refining medicinal pills that boost power, heal injuries, or even grant immortality.
Formations: Special energy patterns that can trap enemies, protect areas, or enhance cultivation.
Since Xiao Lian has SIS, she quickly understands and innovates new alchemy formulas and formations, making her a dangerous foe even without direct combat.
•A Battle of Intelligence vs. Strength
Xiao Lian outsmarts enemies rather than overpowering them.
Ji Ren dominates with sheer sword mastery.
Qin Ziyan relies on deception and trickery.
The SIS gives Xiao Lian a hidden edge, but at what cost?
This unique power system ensures every battle is more than just brute force—it's a chess game where intelligence, technique, and strategy determine the victor.
