The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

After hiding the Floating Life Cauldron, Ye Qingyang began to recall the basic knowledge of cultivation that the mysterious man had left him.

From the middle of the night, Ye Qingyang learned a lot of new and interesting knowledge, and at the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of cultivating immortality. He was also extremely grateful to the mysterious man.

Ye Qingyang learned that cultivating immortality usually includes, but is not limited to, internal and external skills, elixirs, talismans, spirit beast breeding, and plant cultivation.

Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense their own true essence or spiritual power, gradually improving their cultivation level.

Realm Classification: During the cultivation process, practitioners will experience different cultivation stages or levels, which are often referred to as "realms". Such as Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Refining Emptiness and Merging with the Dao, each of which is further divided into three periods: early, middle and late.

What's special about it is Qi Refining, which is divided into twelve levels. It's just the beginning. Anyone with spiritual roots can enter the Qi Refining realm, which is a symbol that distinguishes them from ordinary people.

Spiritual root refers to the special foundation an individual is born with, enabling them to absorb and utilize the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It is one of the key factors determining whether a person can cultivate, as well as the speed and potential of their cultivation. The quality of one's spiritual root directly affects the cultivator's future level of cultivation and the speed of their progress.

Spiritual roots are usually associated with the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), and different attributes of spiritual roots correspond to different types of cultivation methods and spells. In addition, there are more special attribute spiritual roots such as wind, thunder, ice, poison, and darkness, which are also called mutated spiritual roots.

The number of spiritual roots is an important standard for measuring a cultivator's talent. They are divided into single spiritual roots, dual spiritual roots, and even multiple spiritual roots. Having multiple spiritual roots usually means having more types of cultivation potential and spell applications.

The best among them is the Heavenly Spiritual Root, which is also known as the Mutated Single Spiritual Root or the Single Spiritual Root. The more spiritual roots one has, the worse they are. Four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots are called pseudo-spiritual roots, and then there are multiple spiritual roots, which are called mixed spiritual roots.

The Nascent Soul stage only existed among the great powers of ancient times, and no one can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage now. As for the ultimate Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage, it only exists in legends, and no one has ever cultivated to that level. Who knows if it is real or not?

Magical Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts: Cultivators use or create various magical treasures and spiritual artifacts during their cultivation process to enhance their strength. These magical treasures are divided into levels such as ordinary weapons, spiritual artifacts, treasure artifacts, immortal artifacts, holy artifacts, and divine artifacts, with different levels of artifacts possessing different powers and supernatural abilities.

Of course, some powerful cultivation sects and families possess celestial artifacts, demonstrating their extreme rarity. Therefore, the appearance of a celestial artifact often foreshadows the start of a bloody struggle. The last two only exist in legends.

Pills: Pills have a wide range of uses in the world of cultivation, helping cultivators recover from injuries, improve their cultivation level, and break through bottlenecks. Based on their efficacy, pills are divided into nine grades. The first three grades are low-grade pills, with poor effects and the lowest prices; grades four to six are mid-grade pills, which are also highly sought after in the market; grades six and above are high-grade pills, often very rare, reaching the standards for auction at major auctions.

Formations: Formations are special structures created using tools such as formation flags and formation plates. They can be used for attack, defense, trapping enemies, and confusion. Practitioners who are proficient in formations can gain a significant advantage in battle.

Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants: Spirit beasts are exotic creatures with special bloodlines and abilities. Cultivators can form contracts with them to make them their companions or mounts. Spirit plants are plants that grow in specific environments and contain abundant spiritual energy. They can be used to refine elixirs, create magical artifacts, and so on.

Inheritance and Cultivation Techniques: The cultivation world emphasizes the importance of sect lineage and secret cultivation techniques. Inheritance not only represents a lineage's cultivation philosophy and methods but also symbolizes a sect's strength. Cultivation techniques are divided into various types, including but not limited to offensive, defensive, and supportive techniques.

World Division: The cultivation world is often divided based on strength and geography into the Mortal Realm, which is the area controlled by secular dynasties; the Cultivation Realm, which is controlled by cultivation sects and aristocratic families; and the Immortal Realm, which exists in legends as an upper realm where one can ascend once their cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage and passes the tribulation. As cultivation levels increase, cultivators can travel to higher-level worlds and encounter more powerful opponents and challenges.

Major and Minor Tribulations: During their cultivation, practitioners will encounter various tribulations, both internal and external, such as the tribulation of inner demons or lightning tribulations. These tribulations are both tests and opportunities for growth.

After reviewing these basic principles of cultivation, Ye Qingyang gained a certain understanding of the process and calmed down completely.

The abnormality in my body is not due to qi deviation during practice, but rather to the invasion of inner demons.
