Mechanics

Earning Experience Points

Experience Points are earned through actions relevant to a recorded skill. The Panel displays each gain as a notification and tracks progress separately for every skill.

• Reading and studying grant Literacy Experience Points; reading a book initially awards Jiang Ning 3 points. 2
• The profundity of material affects Literacy gains. A detailed Martial Dao Fifth Rank explanation grants more than 300 Literacy Experience Points, while ancient jade slips from Crossing Immortal Gate can grant more than 200 points each. 357 809
• Practicing a martial art grants points for that specific art, such as repeated bow shots for Wind Thunder Arrow Technique. 195
• One action can advance multiple skills. Training saber forms underwater grants both Canglang Saber Technique and Swimming Experience Points. 114
• Movement integrated into daily life can accumulate Experience Points. Wind Thunder Step gains points whenever Jiang Ning walks or travels, with greater efficiency while hurrying. 382
• Writing can be more efficient than reading. Writing an improved Five Animal Frolics Fist Manual grants Literacy Experience Points more quickly than Jiang Ning's ordinary reading. 275
• Comprehension of artistic conceptions and cultivation methods can create new Experience Point sources. Studying the Spring Beginning scroll simultaneously raises Literacy and Spring Beginning True Intent, while improving Great Sun artistic conception can also raise Visualization. 572 648
• Understanding profound material can cause exceptional gains. Comprehending the Weapon Refining Art raises Literacy from under 12,000 points to 18,765/20,000 in a short time. 471
• Special cultivation resources can directly accelerate relevant skills. Refining Six-holed Ore in the Yang Lake Grotto-heaven grants Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill more than 1,000 Experience Points. 583
• Enlightenment can produce extreme one-time gains. While in the Transcendent Saint state, Jiang Ning gains more than 1,100 Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points per notification. 834
• Higher realms can dramatically raise ordinary cultivation efficiency. After becoming a Nascent Soul Immortal, Jiang Ning brings Spirit Platform Illuminating True Self Method from roughly halfway progress to Perfected Realm in half a day. 913
• Exceptional external phenomena can advance many skills together. Golden dust nourishing Jiang Ning's Immortal Tree substantially raises the progress of numerous skills at once, including Five Animal Frolics Fist and Indestructible Vajra Body. 991

Experience-Gain Modifiers

Skill Thresholds

Each skill has its own Experience Point bar and advancement requirements.

• Early skill stages advance naturally when their required Experience Points are filled. 2
• At Perfected Realm, filling the bar instead produces a plus sign; further advancement requires both full Experience Points and Source Energy Points. 2 3
• Required Experience Points rise with successive breakthroughs. Literacy progresses from 1,000 at Perfected Realm to 2,000 after its First Breakthrough, then eventually to 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 50,000-point thresholds. 2 3 403 416 479 575
• Different skills have radically different threshold scales. Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword requires 10,000 Experience Points merely to advance from Initiation to Proficiency, whereas its later ordinary realms require up to 100,000. 610
• Experience Points may continue accumulating beyond a filled bar when Jiang Ning delays a breakthrough. Five Animal Frolics Fist remains at 7000/7000, with its overflow amount no longer visible. 469
• Higher-grade techniques demand substantially greater investment. Jiang Ning notes that techniques surpassing Superior Grade Martial Arts require ten times the Experience Points and Source Energy Points of ordinary martial arts for breakthroughs. 572
• At sufficiently high totals, the Panel can represent Experience Point progress as a percentage rather than an absolute number. Jiang Ning can also deliberately change a skill's numerical display to percentage form. 954 966

Source Energy and Origin Points

Source Energy Points

Source Energy Points are the resource required to activate limit breaks after a skill's Experience Points are full.

• Before its purpose is discovered, Source Energy increases by approximately 0.1 to 0.3 points each midnight. 3
• The amount of energy Jiang Ning consumes determines his Source Energy growth; ordinary meals offer little, while meat, Wild Ginseng, pills, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures increase it substantially. 121
• Literacy's First Breakthrough costs 10 Source Energy Points. 3
• Firewood Chopping Blade Technique's early limit-break costs follow an escalating pattern of 10, 20, and 50 points; Jiang Ning infers 100 points for its Fourth Limit Break. 97
• Its Sixth Limit Break requires 500 Source Energy Points. 288
• A tenth limit break for an unranked skill such as Literacy requires 10,000 Source Energy Points. 403 415
• Literacy's Thirteenth Breakthrough requires 100,000 Source Energy Points, while its subsequent advancement requires 200,000. 575 809
• Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are especially valuable because Jiang Ning prioritizes their Source Energy yield over their direct bodily benefits. 204
• Source Energy Points ultimately transform into Origin Points as the Panel enters a higher stage. 820

Origin Points

Source Energy later transforms into Origin Points, adding a direct method for improving Traits and activating advanced breakthroughs.

• Origin Points can raise a Trait’s rank through deliberate investment rather than relying only on future limit-break rewards. 820
• Raising Photographic Memory is offered for 0.1 Origin Points, while raising Outstanding Comprehension from Deep Green costs 1 Origin Point. 820
• Repeated upgrades become progressively more expensive: Outstanding Comprehension costs 2 Origin Points from Light Blue, 10 Origin Points from Deep Blue to Light Purple, and 20 Origin Points for the next attempted upgrade. 820
• A cultivation-method breakthrough can cost fewer Origin Points than upgrading a Trait while also improving the method itself and potentially deriving a new Trait. Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill's Third Breakthrough costs 5 Origin Points. 821
• Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill's next advancement after its Fifth Limit Break requires 50 Origin Points. 851
• At higher levels, upgrading a Deep Purple Trait to Light Gold costs 100 Origin Points. 943
• Advanced cultivation-method breakthroughs can require vastly more Origin Points: Spirit Platform Illuminating True Self Method and Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill respectively require 200 and 1,000 Origin Points at one stage, while a later Spirit Platform breakthrough requires 2,000 Origin Points. 943 990
• The Panel gives no upgrade response when Jiang Ning attempts to improve Deep Gold Traits, leaving the ultimate Trait rank and its upgrade requirements unknown. 1002

Notable Effects

• Full Experience Points are the prerequisite for skill breakthroughs, which can raise a skill's realm, improve its efficiency, and grant or strengthen Traits. 3 620
• Literacy breakthroughs repeatedly improve Jiang Ning’s spiritual capabilities, including Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Five Senses, Heavenly Eye, and Unity of Knowledge and Action. 3 84 280 386
• The quality of the cultivated technique affects the quality of Traits derived from its breakthroughs; higher-grade methods generally produce higher-grade Traits. 575
• Improved talent directly increases the Experience Point efficiency of corresponding techniques, making Traits such as Sword Dao Talent, Outstanding Comprehension, and Unity of Knowledge and Action strategically valuable. 620 820 821
• The Panel's numerical feedback gives Jiang Ning immediate confirmation of progress, reinforcing his willingness to continue difficult and repetitive training. 439
• At Jiang Ning's later level, Experience Point accumulation is often no longer the principal bottleneck; Origin Point reserves become the limiting resource for major breakthroughs. 913 990
