Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Knight Attendant assessment	1	A spiritual-power score of 3 fails the Knight Attendant assessment; the passing line is 10. 1
Third Tier	6	The transition from second to third tier allows knights to begin cultivating Inner Spiritual Power; Long Fan is listed as a Tier Three Level Two Knight with 256 Outer Spiritual Power. 6
Fourth Tier	79	Unlocks Spiritual Power External Release. 79
Fifth Tier	79, 41	Spiritual power undergoes liquefaction, producing Liquid Spiritual Power; gaseous pale-gold energy compresses into bright-gold liquid. 79 41
Sixth Tier	79	Opens a Spiritual Aperture and grants Spiritual Power Transformation Wings. Apertures improve recovery, cultivation, and elemental conversion. 79
Seventh Tier	79	Brings bodily Spiritual Power Transformation and abilities such as the Radiant Body. 79
Eighth Tier	364	Reaching 30,000 spiritual power requires forming a new Spiritual Aperture. Spiritual power becomes highly compressed and can be wielded as Spiritual Force. 364
Eighth-Tier mastery	361, 362	Spiritual Aura distinguishes eighth-step melee powerhouses, while Spiritual Force Armor represents a higher level of spiritual-power control. 361 362
Ninth Tier	22, 328, 484	Ninth-rank cultivation is associated with 100,000 spiritual power. More than nine apertures can form a Spiritual Pill—called a Spiritual Core for Divine Knights—and higher ninth-rank experts may comprehend personal Domains. 22 328 484

Components

Inner Spiritual Power

Inner Spiritual Power is primarily used to fuel attacks, magic, and active techniques. It becomes available to knights after crossing into the third tier. 6

• It initially exists in a gaseous state and can be compressed into Liquid Spiritual Power at the fifth tier. 41
• A knight's Innate Inner Spiritual Power determines their potential in sacred-light cultivation and is measured during Sacred Awakening. 22
• Exceptional Innate Inner Spiritual Power improves a summoner's spiritual power and soul strength, expanding the range and number of magical beasts they can contact. 120
• At the eighth tier, sufficiently compressed spiritual power can solidify and erupt as Spiritual Force. 364

Outer Spiritual Power

Outer Spiritual Power represents physical development: bodily strength, flexibility, and resilience. 6

• Ordinary physical cultivation normally has a limit of roughly 200 points. 6
• Increasing Outer Spiritual Power can accelerate recovery from minor injuries and improve damage tolerance. 6
• Powerful Outer Spiritual Power can allow a combatant to overpower enemies directly without activating offensive skills. 255
• It remains distinct from Inner Spiritual Power; a fighter may possess lower Inner Spiritual Power than an opponent while retaining a decisive physical advantage. 360

Total Spiritual Power

A professional's total Spiritual Power Value may combine their Outer and Inner Spiritual Power. Long Fan's panel, for example, records 9,494 total spiritual power split into 6,000 Outer and 3,494 Inner Spiritual Power. 166

Cultivation Mechanics

Spiritual Apertures

A Spiritual Aperture is a sixth-tier cultivation structure that functions as a direct channel to ambient elemental energy. 79

• A sixth-step professional's first aperture forms in the chest as a ring of light. 79
• Each contraction absorbs compatible elements from the surroundings, allowing spiritual power to circulate and replenish even outside deliberate meditation. 79
• Apertures accelerate Liquid Spiritual Power cultivation and convert external energy into the user's own attribute. 79 248
• Each profession requires its own aperture to fully access that profession's sixth-tier abilities; this restriction cannot simply be bypassed through Deep Blue point allocation. 167
• Long Fan's six apertures were linked into the Taiji Spiritual Aperture, enabling rapid profession switching and separate, simultaneous spiritual-power recovery. 247

Spiritual Force and Spiritual Aura

At the eighth tier, liquid spiritual power reaches an extremely dense state and can be used as Spiritual Force—an explosive application of solidified power for offense or defense. 364

• Spiritual Force Armor concentrates Spiritual Force into armor or a defensive point, greatly improving protection and allowing techniques such as Shield Block Recoil to become offensive. 362
• Spiritual Aura is an advanced enhancement ability associated with the three melee Temples and is considered essential for a true Holy Knight. 361
• Possessing similar raw spiritual power does not guarantee equivalent combat ability; control of Spiritual Force Armor can create a major gap between seventh- and eighth-tier fighters. 362

Spiritual Pills and Cores

After more than nine Spiritual Apertures are cultivated, they can condense a Spiritual Pill. For ninth-rank Divine Knights, this is called a Spiritual Core. 328

• A Spiritual Pill can be stripped of its attribute and converted into pure spiritual energy. 328
• It can instantly restore its user's spiritual power without backlash, effectively serving as an additional life-saving reserve in battle. 328
• The power contained in a Spiritual Pill greatly exceeds that of ordinary medicinal recovery pills. 328

Spiritual Furnaces

Spiritual Furnaces are rare objects born where spiritual energy converges or preserved in ancient ruins; professionals who possess one are described as one in a thousand. 39

• Furnaces can assist with the production, storage, and compression of Liquid Inner Spiritual Power. 41
• Their effects vary widely: some provide combat power, while others offer support, elemental conversion, or enemy attraction. 39
• More powerful furnaces generally impose greater costs on their users; Caier's Reincarnation Spiritual Furnace, for example, gradually deprives its wielder of the six senses. 39
• High-grade furnaces grow alongside their users and can possess multiple practical abilities. 468
• Spiritual Furnace evolution can cause spiritual power to overflow and mark a breakthrough into Liquid Spiritual Power cultivation. 96

Specialized Cultivation Paths

Soul Hall Summoners

Summoners follow a distinct spiritual-power path centered on soul cultivation rather than repeated aperture formation. 606

• They possess only one Spiritual Aperture and cannot continuously gain more through ordinary spiritual-power cultivation. 606
• Their Soul Hall method uses soul power to condense spiritual power into spirit pills, increasing total spiritual power while preserving the soul within the body. 606
• At sufficiently high cultivation, these spirit pills can allow the soul to leave the body and return without dissipating; this requires at least ninth-rank summoner strength. 606
• The method is believed to offer a possible path to escape assimilation by heaven and earth through soul sublimation, though no confirmed practitioner has reached that end. 606

Environmental Restrictions

Cultivation efficiency depends on the surrounding elemental environment. 168 711

• A lack of compatible elements limits ordinary spiritual-power growth. 168
• Spiritual Apertures and certain Spiritual Furnaces can convert foreign elements, allowing cultivation in unfavorable environments. 168
• Chaotic, dark-element-saturated environments can interfere with an aperture's absorption and conversion process, placing even ninth-rank cultivators at a disadvantage. 711
• Highly refined spiritual power is purer and more efficient in combat, but its density can make further cultivation slower and more difficult. 389
