Power Progression
Qi Refining Path
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Early Core Formation | 183 184 | Liquid true essence condenses into a solid True Core. Fang Qing raises his newly formed core from mid-grade to high-grade with Ageless Spring, then survives the heavenly tribulation. |
| Middle Core Formation | 244 | Fang Qing breaks through without taking his prepared pill; his high-grade True Core helps weaken the bottleneck. |
| Late Core Formation | 289 | Fang Qing uses a Mystic Star Waterfall Pill and other aids to cross the bottleneck. |
| Core Formation perfection | 313 | Fang Qing refines a quasi-fourth-rank demon core. Further advancement requires shattering the core to form a Nascent Soul. |
Qi Consumption Path
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Early Golden Core | 353 | Attained by controlling one Metal Position; Broad Wood True Person reaches Gold when the [Horn Wood] position responds to him. |
| Middle Golden Core | 267 353 | Requires control of a second Metal Position. |
| Late Golden Core | 380 433 | Requires control of a third position. The Legs-Hiding Azure-Bearing True Lord advances by taking control of a subordinate [Horn Wood] position. |
| Golden Core perfection | 353 434 | Requires control of four properly arranged positions. It is the prerequisite for seeking [Year Guardian] attainment. |
Cultivation Mechanics
Qi Refining Path
- Core Formation transforms liquid true essence into a solid True Core. True Cores are classified as low-, mid-, or high-grade; their quality affects cultivation speed, bottlenecks, and prospects for Nascent Soul 183.
- A Golden Core Pill raises a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator’s chance of forming a core by roughly twenty to thirty percent. It does not guarantee a high-grade True Core or survival of the subsequent heavenly tribulation 93 183 184.
- Core Formation produces core fire, which can temper the True Core and nurture a cultivator’s natal treasure 187.
Qi Consumption Path
- Golden Core follows Purple Palace cultivation. Its practitioner is a True Lord, rather than a Qi Refining cultivator who has condensed a True Core 166 257 267.
- Advancement depends on controlling Metal Positions of the same lineage. Positions from incompatible virtues can destroy the cultivator 353.
- The four positions must also have the correct arrangement and sequence. Fang Qing’s water-virtue example assigns [Zhen Water] the primary position, [Wall Water] the subordinate position, [Three Stars Water] the compliant position, and [Ji Water] the vacant position 353.
- A True Lord can reach perfection by controlling positions without personally attaining proof of each one 433.
