Cultivation in this novel isn't as absolute as many similar stories make it out to be. A well trained swordsman will take down someone a level above them in cultivation but weaker in swordsmanship nine times out of ten. Still, it increases one's physical and spiritual abilites noticably.

Each level after Qi Awakened is seperated into Early, Middle, and Late

For now, here's the levels of cultivation:

Twelfth Level Qi Awakened: All meridians have been opened and the cultivator is ready to start their foundation.

Foundation Establishment: Consolidate the Cultivator's power and create the beginnings of one's own place of power within oneself (soul palace).

Core Formation: The formation of a core of qi, containing the beginnings of one's Dao. Allows one to generate qi from inside oneself.

Nascent Soul: The seperation of the soul from the physical body, and the final touches to one's soul palace.

Dao Shaping: The recognition of one's connection to the physical realm and shaping your qi to match how you connect to the physical realm. Will change your soul palace to match your connection.

Dao Refining: Once one's connection to the physical realm is solidified. One refines that connection in strength and understanding.
