Cultivation Ranks

Information
Dantian (丹田 dān tián): the part where a cultivator’s Qi is concentrated and stored in their body, usually somewhere in their lower abdomen.

Qi (气 qì): an energy that exists in all things in the world.

Meridians (经脉 jīng mài): Channels for Qi to flow, similar to what blood vessels are for blood.

Chakras
In the Tianxuan Continent the people only know of the 9 first chakra which are the Tail Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Perineum Chakra, Core Chakra, Crux Chakra, Medial Chakra, Crown Chakra, Third-eye Chakra and the Occipital Chakra but after the Dao realm you need to unlock your Chakras or so called god shackles, it depends on the martial artist how many shackles/Chakras the martial artist is able to unlock and your future advancements in the later realms depend on how many shackles/Chakras the martial artist is able to unlock. It was the lifeblood of martial artists to cultivate chakras.

Their cultivation was divided into three levels, Foundation Qi, Spirit Qi, and the highly vaunted Mystical Qi. Of course, there were those of even higher levels, but they were rare, few and far in between.

Foundation Qi martial artists possessed at most one or two innately awakened chakras (the sacral chakra and core chakra) or none at all; their strength predominantly arose from rigorous training while their energy came from expending and exploiting their physical potential. Their cultivation of Foundation Qi came from expending their own vital Qi. They were, however, doomed to reach only limited achievements, regardless of their best efforts.

Spirit Qi martial artists – martial artists with internal strength, possessed three innately awakened chakras; the power of yin contained within them could be used to inflict destructive damage upon others. They could cultivate their dantian and obtain spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth, all through meditation. Those with higher cultivation could harness enough energy to split entire monuments and crack rocks, as well as unleash their maximum potential strength in a violent and intense manner.

Mystical Qi martial artists, the elite of the lot – possesses six innately awakened chakras. Spiritually one with Heaven and Earth, they could cruise through the seas and reach for the skies given the amount of power they held in their hands. Those whose cultivations were at their peak could melt gold and even convert metals from base materials, climb mountains and wade through rivers like they were walking on flat ground. These masters could perform feats beyond the human imagination, and defy the laws of physics, stopping short of bending reality.
