Cultivation (Er Gen)

Introduction

Cultivation Base refers to the progress along the path of cultivation attained by an individual. It is the source of the supernatural abilities that can be used by cultivators and what gives them their improved longevity, physical abilities and intelligence. Below are the variety of abilities given by cultivation to its practitioners.

1^st Step: Mortality to Immortality

1st Step cultivators focus on shedding their mortality and entering immortality. Despite being the weakest characters in the overall setting, they have a variety of supernatural abilities that separate them from mortals. They have a significantly improved but finite lifespan whose extent depends on The Heavens of a particular realm. Those at the peak of this Step can cause devastation across an entire cultivation planet, planets which are comparable to real-world solar systems in size. It is generally divided into the following realms;

Qi Condensation

Superhuman Physical Characteristics: Improving within the Qi Condensation stage improves one's body strength, speed, agility and even improves the clarity and quickness of one's mind as well as removing impurity from one's body^[1].
Statistics Amplification: Cultivators can channel spiritual energy into themselves and enhance their raw speed and physical capabilities by at least double^[2].
Telekinesis: Qi Condensation cultivators can use their Cultivation Base to levitate their bodies as well as external objects at will^[3]. Cultivators are capable of utilizing their spiritual energy to create an invisible force that they can utilize to create a restrictive grip on people and objects, create blunt force and attack others with it or simply move objects to and from a certain place.
Enhanced Senses: As one's cultivation increases at this stage the strength and range of their bodily senses will increase as well as detect heartbeats and breathing from large distances^[4]. Can infuse their eyes^[5] with Qi to magnify their view so as to see very small objects.
Extrasensory Perception: Cultivators can sense the energy of spiritual energy^[6] and even feel everything around themselves^[7], including invisible entities^[8].
Self-Sustenance: Types 2 and 3. Cultivators can meditate for months at a time without stopping for food, water or sleep^[9]. Can absorb and emit spiritual energy which can sustain their lives even if hunger is not alleviated^[10].
Adaptation: Qi Condensation cultivators adapt to all substances and pills that enter their bodies, with the latter losing efficacy as time goes on^[11].
Precognition: Cultivators are capable of sensing any impending danger that is targeting them, even if they are unaware of the specifics of the danger in question^[12].
Absorption: Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth^[13] for their use.
Power Nullification: Cultivators with a higher Cultivation Base, even within the same sub-realm are capable of completely negating the abilities of lower cultivators just by bringing it to bear^[14].
Chi Manipulation: A cultivator controls the spiritual energy, Qi, of the world^[15]. They can use the energy to imbue objects and to activate them if they work based on energy^[16].
Supernatural Luck: Qi Condensation Realm cultivators can steal good fortune^[17] from heaven and earth^[18].
Pseudo-Flight: Can fly by way of stepping on their flying swords and guiding them through the air^[19].
Dimensional Storage: Cultivators own Bags of Holding, which have dimensions within them to store objects owned by their users^[20].
Supernatural Willpower: Even Qi Condensation cultivators are capable of persisting after their deaths through sheer focus and strength of will^[21].
Non-Physical Interaction: Qi Condensation cultivators can interact with immaterial wind blades with their own bare hands^[22]. Can interact with spirits^[23] as well as the elements of nature^[24].
Information Analysis Cultivators can sense^[25] the cultivation levels of other cultivators of their level^[26].
Aura: A higher cultivation base emanates a passive pressure that can destroy opponents in body and soul as well as prevent them from using their abilities^[27]. Even as early as Qi Condensation, they can release a pressure that will make one kneel, shattering their bones^[28] as well as their organs^[29]. The higher the level of cultivation of the wielder, the more potent the pressure is^[30] against their opponents.
Physics Manipulation and Power Nullification: Due to the presence of spiritual Qi, all natural energy sources cease to function and nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion fail, resulting in nuclear weapons not functioning.
Soul Manipulation: For cultivators, physical attacks, magical arts and even the suppressive aura generated by them attack the soul.
Acausality (Type 4): Cultivators defy and break out of the natural laws of the world and reincarnation as well as the will controlling fate itself the moment they begin cultivating. Their path of cultivation is one of defiance of the laws of the heavens and the flow of nature and their futures are impossible to predict for mortals.

Extrasensory Perception: Even within the same stage, a large gap in cultivation renders the higher level cultivator unreadable to the lower level one^[31].

Poison Manipulation: A poison that can kill mortals would only give Qi Condensation cultivators diarrhea^[32].

Illusion Creation: By rotating one's cultivation base, a cultivator can dispel the illusions that manifest as a result of exposure to the fragrance of the Shuiyue Clan's fruits^[33].

Foundation Establishment

Flight: Cultivators at this stage are capable of flying under their own power^[34].
Size Manipulation: Foundation Establishment cultivators Foundation Establishment cultivators can subdue creatures and weaker opponents by shrinking them and storing them away in their sleeves^[35].
Body Control: Cultivators at this stage are capable of stopping the bodily circulation of their own blood with no issues to their health^[36].
Self-Destruction: Foundation Establishment cultivators are capable of self detonation at will^[37].
Regeneration (Low-Mid): Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm can regenerate fingers^[38] and even their arms^[39] over time.

Soul Manipulation: Upon reaching Foundation Establishment one's soul and qi are elevated to a level beyond that of mortals^[40] and far more resilient against harm as a result.

Core Formation

Air Manipulation: Can control the wind to wrap around other to subdue them or to toss them away from himself^[41].
Curse Manipulation: Can inflict hexes on others.
