Xing Tian's body began to glow softly, a radiant spiritual aura enveloping him. Slowly, he lifted into the air.
Angelina looked that way and said to Su Yan, "Look, Elder! Something is happening with Father. He is glowing and floating in the sky."
"What? What are you saying? Let me take a look." Then she turned around to look at Xing Tian. What she saw shocked her. Sweat ran down her face.
"What? It's impossible. Is he breaking through to the next level?"
Angelina said, "What? Breaking through to the next level? Isn't Father already at the peak level of cultivation?"
"No, you don't understand cultivation levels. Cultivation has many levels, and many people don't even know about the higher realms."
"What? Elder, you know everything. Can you please tell me about the cultivation levels?"
"Umm… okay. So listen. Cultivation is divided mainly into 3 levels: Mortal, Immortal, and Supreme. And each realm is divided into smaller realms. The Mortal Realm is divided into 9 realms, the Immortal Realm is also divided into 9 realms, and the Supreme Realm is divided into 5 realms. Each realm is further divided into 9 stages."
"What? Elder, that sounds powerful. Can you please tell me about those realms?"
"Mm. Okay. If you want to know, then listen."
Mortal Realm:
Qi Refining Realm — With this stage, your cultivation journey begins. You can absorb basic Qi energy from the world and start cultivating. In this stage, your Qi is refined, and you slowly build the foundation that supports all future realms.
Foundation Establishment Realm — In this stage, you can release your Qi energy outside your body. You gain the ability to fly using a sword and attack using spiritual energy. The main focus here is to stabilize and strengthen your foundation, which will be crucial for your entire cultivation path.
Golden Core Realm — At this stage, a golden core forms inside your dantian. This core stores spiritual energy, making you stronger. The more refined and larger your golden core is, the more powerful your future potential becomes. You can now fly without relying on your sword, using pure energy instead.
Nascent Soul Realm — In this stage, you begin to shift focus from your body to your soul. A soul form starts to grow within your golden core. You gain limited access to soul-based abilities and begin to understand your inner self more deeply.
Soul Formation Realm — This is the stage where your soul becomes truly powerful. You start forming a Soul Domain—a space created from your soul's power. Within this domain, you can manipulate objects, suppress enemies, and control everything using your soul energy.
Void Realm — In this stage, you start to connect with the void between worlds. You gain the ability to sense space and use basic spatial manipulation. Your presence begins to affect your surroundings, and your spiritual perception expands far beyond normal limits.
Void Shattering Realm — Now, you can shatter space itself. You gain the ability to tear open temporary spatial rifts, teleport short distances, and launch attacks that ignore physical limitations. You start to break the rules of reality.
Tribulation Realm — Heaven tests those who dare to ascend further. In this stage, you face powerful tribulations—lightning, fire, wind, and illusions sent by the heavens to judge your worth. If you survive, your body and soul evolve. If you fail, death is certain.
Mahayana Realm — This is the final stage of the Mortal Realm. Your cultivation reaches near-perfection. Your every action influences the world around you. You're now strong enough to ascend into the Immortal Realm and cast off your mortal shell completely.
Immortal Realm:
Lesser Immortal — Upon entering the Immortal Realm, you cast off your mortal shell entirely. Your lifespan increases dramatically, and your energy becomes purer and more refined. You begin forming an Immortal Body capable of withstanding powerful forces that would obliterate mortals.
High Immortal — Your control over spiritual energy grows, allowing you to manipulate laws of nature on a small scale. You can now fly across continents with ease and crush mountains with a single strike. Your presence begins to inspire awe and fear.
Earth Immortal — Your spiritual energy becomes harmonized with the land itself. You can manipulate terrain, summon nature-based forces, and withstand attacks that would destroy entire armies. Your aura becomes so dense it can be felt from miles away.
Sky Immortal — Now you command the power of the heavens. Your spiritual sense expands across vast distances. Sky Immortals can fly freely through realms and create weather phenomena with their thoughts. Your soul begins resonating with the stars.
Golden Immortal — A legendary stage where your body, soul, and energy reach golden perfection. You can resist time, slow aging, and move through dimensions. Golden Immortals are rare and often serve as protectors of great clans or nations.
Immortal King — You gain the ability to rule over laws. Fire, water, lightning, and wind bow to your will. Your name is enough to command legions. With a single word, you can alter the fate of cities.
Immortal Emperor — You transcend the realm of kings. Your will can shape reality. A flick of your hand can level continents or reshape time and space around you. Very few Immortal Emperors exist, and most become legends.
Immortal Saint — At this level, you embody divine power. You can travel between worlds freely and control entire realms. Your understanding of the universe becomes deep enough to challenge fate itself.
Supreme Immortal — The final and most mysterious stage of the Immortal Realm. You can merge with cosmic energy, bend time, and affect the destinies of countless beings. Supreme Immortals are treated as deities by lesser beings, and even other immortals revere them.
Supreme Realm:
Transformation Realm — Your entire being undergoes a transformation. Your existence begins to defy the laws of physics. You no longer need food, sleep, or rest. Your presence alone empowers allies and weakens enemies.
Beyond Limit Realm — You shed the final limits of mortal and immortal cultivation. Your power breaks through the ceiling of all known cultivation paths. You can alter laws, destroy planets, and create new energy sources.
Ruler Realm — You become a true ruler of existence. Concepts such as life, death, time, and chaos can be partially controlled by your will. You begin establishing your own Dao—your personal truth that defines your power and path.
Principal Realm — At this stage, you no longer follow the world's principles—you become one. You can control fundamental forces like gravity, space, or fate. Cultivators here can destroy timelines or rewrite history for localized areas.
Supreme Peak Realm — The end of known cultivation. Very few in history have ever reached this point. You are one step from becoming a Primordial Being or ascending to the Divine Realm. Your existence influences the balance of entire universes.
Currently, I am in the Transformation Realm, and the other three elders are in the Beyond Limit Realm. And Xing Tian, who was stronger than us, is in the Principal Realm. But now… he is breaking through to the next realm.
