Innate Realm

Biodata

Power Progression

The stages below are illustrated by different cultivators; they are not one person's advancement.

Cultivation

• Ordinary breakthrough: A cultivator gathers spiritual energy into an Innate Golden Core. The process connects them with the power of heaven and earth and transforms the mortal body 759.
• Breakthrough phenomenon: Spiritual energy may converge into a large vortex; both the Liu Family Second Ancestor's and Li Xuantong's breakthroughs produce conspicuous phenomena 103 225.
• Alternative cores: Li Xinge enters the realm with a Dao Demon Golden Core formed by merging spiritual and malevolent energy. Tie Zhu instead possesses a Blood Core formed from qi and blood, which Pei Lie recognizes as unlike an ordinary Innate Golden Core 146 759 762.

Characteristics

• Flight: Walking or floating through the air is treated as a hallmark of the realm 148 155.
• Longevity: The Liu Family Great Ancestor congratulates the newly advanced Second Ancestor on gaining six hundred years of lifespan 105.
• Combat scale: The shockwaves of an Innate battle can threaten people far below the fighters; Zhang Haocun and An Chengyu take their duel into the sky because fighting on the ground could devastate a city 151 215.
• Gap from Qi and Blood: Cultivators at Qi and Blood Great Perfection describe the final step to Innate as a chasm 215.
• Gap to Divine Mansion: Li Xinge cannot directly withstand a full-strength Innate Great Perfection opponent while at middle-stage Innate, yet a Divine Mansion Jade Bone destroys that opponent with one strike 259.

Significance

• A single Innate cultivator can make a minor force a top power in Ascending Dragon Prefecture. The Liu Family Second Ancestor's breakthrough alarms rival clans, while Li Xuantong's later breakthrough gives the Baihe Li Clan two Innate cultivators 103 104 108 225.
• Innate cultivation once qualified a Li Family member for promotion to elder. As the clan's Innate population grew, its leadership moved to end automatic promotion for juniors without achievements 894 908.
• Realm limits vary by world: Sage Xuanji says the Heavenly Martial Continent can safely receive cultivators only up to middle-stage Innate through the cross-realm array; stronger arrivals risk Heavenly Dao backlash 812.
