The power used in the Tian Yuan world is called Yuan Qi. It is a cosmic energy that exists everywhere—whether in the sky, the earth, or the depths of the oceans. All living beings contain Yuan Qi, whether they are plants, animals, humans, or other races.
Humans can absorb Yuan Qi and use it to strengthen and develop their bodies, becoming so powerful that they can shatter continents, planets, and even stars with their fingers. This group of humans is known as Cultivators.

1. Eight Yuan Qi Meridians Realm
The first realm on the path of cultivation is the Eight Yuan Qi Meridians Realm, and it is the simplest and weakest among all realms.
To enter the path of cultivation and become a cultivator, a person must gather Yuan Qi from the surrounding environment and absorb it into their body, then guide the Yuan Qi into their eight sealed meridians.
After repeating this process for a certain period of time, the first Yuan Qi meridian will open. At that moment, the person officially steps onto the path of cultivation and becomes capable of using Yuan Qi in daily life, combat, and any other purpose they desire.
With training, effort, and time, the remaining meridians can be opened in the same manner.

2. Qi Nourishing Realm
The second realm is the Qi Nourishing Realm, which is far more complex and powerful, containing many stages beyond the Eight Meridians Realm.
Once a person opens all eight Yuan Qi meridians, they can connect them together to form something powerful and mysterious—something that exists and does not exist at the same time. This is known as the Qi Palace.
The Qi Palace is essentially a massive container that stores all the Yuan Qi in the body within a single region. It concentrates the Yuan Qi, making control easier and access and usage much faster. It also compresses the Yuan Qi, increasing its density, making it stronger and more refined.
When a cultivator forms their Qi Palace, they officially enter the true path of cultivation, and their journey becomes far more difficult and challenging.

Qi Palace Colors
Qi Palaces come in different colors:
Colorless
Sky Blue
Purple
Golden
A colorless Qi Palace is the weakest, while a golden one is the strongest.
The higher the grade of the color, the greater the strength and stability of the Qi Palace, and the thicker and more powerful the cultivator's Yuan Qi becomes.
The color of the Qi Palace depends on the individual's talent.
There are rare exceptions among geniuses who can form a mutating Qi Palace, surpassing even the quality of a golden Qi Palace.
Once a cultivator enters the Qi Nourishing Realm and forms their Qi Palace, they must begin cultivating proper cultivation techniques from that point onward.

Stages of the Qi Nourishing Realm
The Qi Nourishing Realm is divided into three stages:
Early Stage
Middle Stage
Late Stage
There is also a minor transitional stage between the Qi Nourishing Realm and the Heavenly Gate Realm, known as the Half-Step Heavenly Gate Realm.

3. Heavenly Gate Realm
To break through into the Heavenly Gate Realm and surpass the Qi Nourishing Realm, a cultivator must absorb Yuan Qi from a specific celestial phenomenon known as the Heavenly Gate Phenomenon.
To draw Yuan Qi from the Heavenly Gate, a cultivator must surpass the limits of the Qi Nourishing Realm in terms of cultivation level and Yuan Qi quantity.
The surge of Yuan Qi from the Heavenly Gate is measured in feet. The higher the Yuan Qi surges into the sky, the richer, denser, and thicker the Yuan Qi the cultivator receives.
Naturally, there are many influencing factors, such as the quality of Yuan Qi training and the type of Qi Palace the cultivator possesses.
This phenomenon represents the foundation of the cultivator. The higher it rises, the stronger the cultivator will be compared to others.
Like the Qi Nourishing Realm, the Heavenly Gate Realm is also divided into three stages.

4. Origin Alpha Realm
The Origin Alpha Realm represents a massive turning point for cultivators.
To break through into the Origin Alpha Realm, a cultivator must send their soul into a vast, infinite sky that exists above existence itself. Upon entering the Sky of Origin Alpha, the cultivator will see it filled with an enormous, chaotic, and powerful aura.
This aura is a higher and more powerful form of energy than ordinary Yuan Qi, known as Origin Alpha Qi.
The cultivator then gathers Origin Alpha Qi from the Sky of Origin Alpha using the power of their soul and brings it back into their physical body. The amount of Origin Alpha Qi a cultivator can bring depends entirely on the pure strength of their soul.
Once the body absorbs Origin Alpha Qi, the cultivator breaks through into the Origin Alpha Realm, surpassing the Heavenly Gate Realm.

Major Changes in the Origin Alpha Realm
Two major transformations occur when entering the Origin Alpha Realm:
First:
The cultivator's Qi Palace transforms into a Sacred Palace.
The Sacred Palace is stronger and more durable, capable of containing Origin Alpha Qi efficiently. It possesses a vast internal space that is infinite in size.
Second:
The formation of Yuan Qi Stars.
Yuan Qi Stars are points of light that adorn the space of the Sacred Palace. They are formed by the fusion of Yuan Qi and Origin Alpha Qi. These stars represent the stages of the Origin Alpha Realm and are extremely important.
The Yuan Qi produced by these stars possesses far greater destructive power. The more stars there are, the stronger the cultivator becomes.
Unlike the Qi Nourishing Realm and the Heavenly Gate Realm, the Origin Alpha Realm is divided into nine layers. The higher the layer a cultivator reaches, the more Origin Alpha Qi they can draw, and the more numerous and massive their Yuan Qi Stars become.
