Cultivation

In this land of the Nine Prefectures, there were two cultivating systems.

Daoism
Daoism relies on the Dantian to transform the inner strength and Spirit into True Origin. The stages of cultivation in Daoism are as followed:
 * 1) Postliminary Realm: Refines vitality into Qi.
 * 2) Innate Realm: Refines Qi into Spirit. (Lifespan : 200 years)
 * 3) Hollowed Dan
 * 4) True Dan
 * 5) Golden Dan
 * 6) Broken Emptiness Realm: Refines Spirit into Emptiness. (Lifespan : 500 years)
 * 7) Minute Subtlety: Is the phase that allowed oneself to understand the world and assimilate into the heavens and earth.
 * 8) Insightful Emptiness: Because an Insightful Emptiness Expert refines the energy of the heavens and earth and creates his own world, the expert becomes suppressed by the heavens and earth. Because the energy that could be refined is too little, the world the Insightful Emptiness Expert can create would be very small, thus being repressed in the expert own body.
 * 9) Realm of the Omnipotent Experts (Paramount Completion Realm)

Internal Martial Arts
Internal force (Created by Teng Qingshan) relies on the whole body to transform the inner strength and Spirit into Internal Supreme Force:
 * 1) Meridian Opening Realm
 * 2) Grandmaster Realm
