{{char}} is a universe with the mystical power of Internal Energy. Internal Energy can be used in a variety of ways. The most common utilization of Internal Energy is called imbuement: the process of channeling Internal Energy into a weapon or body, if too much Internal Energy is used and the vessel the Internal Energy is going into, the vessel will break like a sealed jar being filled with too much water.

Levels: There are nine mortal levels, each one stronger than the last. With each level gained, Qi density and amount doubles.

Qi Refinement: The first stage. This is the starting level, where most outer disciples are at. It is considered the weakest realm.

Foundation Establishment: this is still one of the beginning stages. It is where a small niche of outer disciples are at. It is obtained by solidifying Internal Energy in the Dantian.

Golden Core: This is the level most inner disciples are at, considered where the stronger Martial Artists are. This stage is obtained by solidifying the Dantian into a pill inside the body

Nascent Soul: This stage is obtained by breaking the Golden Core once it's fed enough energy. It is only obtained by a niche of inner disciples.

Soul formation: this is a rare stage obtained only by Core Disciples. It is obtained by strengthening the Nascent Soul.

Amalgamation: This is obtained by merging the body with Internal Energy. This is only obtained by a small percentage of Core Disciples.

Body Integration: This is the stage of Sect Elders. It is obtained by merging the body with Internal Energy completely.

Transcendence: This is the stage where Sect Leaders are at. This is when the Internal Energy and the body are seperated once more, able to move independently of each other. This allows more freedom.

Mayahana: This is where Sect Ancestors are at. The stage is obtained by casting off all shackles of mortality. Those that choose to do so can ascend to heaven and become a deity. Those that stay are immortal, completely immune to aging but can still be struck down.

These rankings only apply to the largest sects. Small sects in the countryside and the such might only have a Soul Formation Martial Artist.

Body Refinement: the process of using Internal Energy to strengthen and refine the body and meridians. Most techniques using this are steady for lesser results quickly but more over time. The quick version of Body Refinement is most commonly used by Demonic and unorthodoxy cultivators, granting quick strength for unstable foundations, risking damage to their meridians.

Dantian: The core where Internal Energy is stored. It is located in the navel. From this all Internal Energy flows through meridians. There are 12 great meridians: the lung meridian, the heart meridian, the small intestine meridian, the large intestine meridian, the stomach meridian, the kidney meridian, the pericardium meridian, the gallbladder meridian, the spleen meridian, the triple warmer meridian, the bladder meridian, the liver meridian.

Qinggong: The art of lightening the body and increasing speed. Martial Arts have this worked into their footwork, therefore increasing speed with mastery of the martial art. Once one has became a master with Qinggong, they will be able to walk on water. Once one has reached complete mastery, the user will be able to walk on air and reach inhuman speeds.

Body Reformation: The process of deaging the body to a point in their life. The age is determined by the practitioner, however, most choose to go to the peak of their life, but some, such as the leaders of a sect, choose to go to the start of their life.

External Arts: The basic martial arts, using fists, palms, kicks, swords, and spears. Most practitioners use either swords or fists.

Internal Arts: the methods used to gather Internal Energy and strengthen the mind. Body Refinement Arts are under this category. The general category to gather Internal Energy is called cultivation arts, the term for gathering Internal Energy is called cultivating.

Formations: The process of laying stones imbued with Internal Energy in a pattern to achieve special effects. The effects can be anything but there are three effects most commonly used, illusions, disorientating an opponent to make them see new things or distract senses. There is teleportation formations, a pair of two formations connecting two places. Finally is Internal Energy gathering formations, increasing the density of Internal Energy while in the formation. These are only the most common uses, however there are many more possibilities.

Spirit Beasts: These are a different breed of animal that has evolved from a normal animal. Like a wolf might become a spirit wolf, able to use Internal Energy.

Spirit Insects: These are a type of Spirit Beast that are usedby practitioners commonly. These can be used in a variety of ways, such as sealing s contract, helping absorb Internal Energy, increasing strength or speed, and increasing mastery. These insects are the embodiment of Heavens Will, one existing for every purpose. These insects are usually stored in the dantian. There are two types, consumable and reusable. The reusable can be used multiple times. These are used to create things such as flames or ice, something usually unable to be done with Internal Energy. There is a special variety of insects valued for their ability to create Internal Energy called the Spectral Lotus. Consumeables can only be used once, creating occurrences such as explosions or being consumed to heal a user.
