Cultivation Mechanics
Breakthrough Requirements
- An Aperture-Opening martial artist must open the Twelve Primary Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians, especially the Ren and Du Meridians. 15 48
- The practitioner circulates the Innate portion of their cultivation technique to refine acquired Internal Force and Internal Qi into higher-quality Innate True Qi. 48
- Completing the conversion causes a qualitative increase in power, though the resulting Innate True Qi may initially amount to only one-tenth of the former Internal Force. 48
- Roughly 250 years of internal power can be sufficient to break through the Ren and Du Meridians using the Golden Bell Shield cultivation method. 45
Innate True Qi
- Innate True Qi is the defining power of an Innate Realm Grandmaster and is vastly more refined than acquired Internal Force. 48
- Cultivating a strand of Innate True Qi requires repeated refinement and takes roughly five times as long as cultivating Internal Force. 48
- The realm is also called the first stage of “qi refinement”; subsequent Blood Transmutations continue this process. 49
Martial Aura
- Grandmasters can release pressure through Innate True Qi powerful enough to leave nearby lower-ranked martial artists short of breath and unable to stand steadily. 59
- The collision of several Innate Realm auras can generate outward-sweeping gales even before any physical exchange begins. 60
Combat Mobility and Force
- An Innate Realm Grandmaster can overwhelm military formations that would threaten ordinary Aperture-Opening martial artists. 64
- Their mobility allows them to enter and leave conventional troop formations at will; even a large formation capable of contesting one lacks comparable mobility. 64
- Innate-level battles are dangerous enough that Aperture-Opening martial artists can be killed by the aftershocks, requiring soldiers to keep hundreds of meters away. 66
Limits and Advancement
- An ordinary Innate Realm martial artist has a lifespan of around two hundred years. 48
- Reaching Peak Innate Realm without cultivation-enhancing resources can require over five hundred years, making further advancement impossible for most practitioners. 48
- Martial artists who reach the Innate Realm before age fifty have the best chance of later becoming Blood Transmutation Grandmasters. 48
- At Peak Innate Realm, a practitioner needs a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item compatible with their cultivation technique to cleanse their marrow, change their blood, and enter the Blood Transmutation Realm. 56
Standing in the Martial World
- An Innate Realm Grandmaster stands at the peak of a commandery and is among the strongest martial figures in Yun Province. 15 52
- Unaffiliated Innate Realm Grandmasters are exceptionally scarce; martial artists in Yun Province could name fewer than a handful. 52
- Most ordinary martial artists never see an Innate Realm Grandmaster in their lives. 59
- Only Innate Realm Grandmasters were considered qualified to contend for the Golden Fruits at the Linglong Gold Mine. 59
- A major force without Innate Realm Grandmasters to guard it risks becoming dependent on stronger factions. 67
Known Practitioners
| Grandmaster | Notes |
|---|---|
| Fang Yuan | Commander-in-chief of Qingyang Commandery’s Black Armored Army and the only publicly known Innate Realm Grandmaster in Qingyang Commandery at the time. 27 |
| Xu Haoran | Hid his cultivation until fighting Zhou Shan; he had only recently entered the realm and possessed roughly 250 years of cultivation. 52 |
| Zhou Shan | Broke through after seclusion, possessed 270 years of cultivation during his battle with Xu Haoran, and later reached the late Innate Realm with over 450 years. 48 52 56 |
| Overlord Saber Du Yuan | One of Yun Province’s four great independent Grandmasters; his Mid Innate Realm cultivation was insufficient against Zhou Shan’s late-stage defense. 59 64 |
| Shangguan Fei | A late Innate Realm Grandmaster of the Shangguan Family, whose strength was considered roughly comparable to Fang Yuan’s. 65 |
