To advance from the Qi Refinement realm to the Spirit Refinement realm, one needed to break through the limits of the Essence Soul and refine it. The method to advance was to not sleep for ten days (roughly standard). The longer one endured, the greater the potential. If one could not endure it, they would faint in the light, and in the serious case, they would die of spiritual exhaustion.

This was a magical ability of the initial stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm. If one held a sword or saber, they could activate saber qi or sword qi. At the peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm, he could break walls with a single slash and control objects from afar. The three were one. When Qi filled the upper, middle, and lower dantians, his spiritual power would skyrocket. At this time, it meant that he could visualize and prepare to break through to the Spirit Refinement Realm. Qi movement was a martial arts practitioner's patent. Only martial arts practitioners could use qi movement when they were in the middle and low grades of the various major systems. When one reached a high rank, the other systems would be able to use qi flow as their physical bodies strengthened, but they would be far from being able to compare to a martial artist.

After a martial artist advanced to Rank-5, the importance of talent increased significantly. If one wanted to control every bit of their strength, one had to rely on the martial artist's comprehension ability. External objects could not be of any use.
There were two cultivation methods for a martial artist to advance from Rank-4 to Rank-3. The first method was to train one's body day after day, supplemented by pills and other treasures to transform one's body and fill one's flesh with life force. The second method was to devour blood essence and use a large amount of blood essence to catalyze the transformation of one's body and shed one's mortal body. However, the Blood Pill was only a primer. A fourth-grade martial artist should use its life force to cleanse and stimulate the transformation of the body, transcending the mortal world. However, a mortal's body might explode and die after absorbing a large amount of energy. Therefore, if it was not for the fact that he was a third-grade or had great luck to protect him, he would have a slim chance of survival.
The core of a martial artist of the Fourth Stage Realm was the word 'intent'. Intent could also be called Dao, the Dao that a martial artist would walk in the future. As for demons of the Fourth Stage Realm, they didn't walk the path of Dao. They cultivated their innate divine abilities, which were condensed in their inner cores.

The Yuan Opening realm was when one's vital qi first opened up and opened up the bridge between heaven and earth. Only after breaking through to the Yuan Opening realm would one truly possess their own vital qi. The qi transforming stage caused the Yuan Qi in one's body to be unstable, especially during battle. Separation and Reunion Boundary had a greater impact on people. The specific characteristics and advantages of the other realms needed further understanding.
