The Skyword records on Common Cultivation Terminologies
The cultivation is the arduous process of self-evolution, a way to break the limits of mind, body, and soul to achieve a higher state of being.
Similarly, cultivation can be divided into three types.
1. Qi cultivation-
The most common and most developed form of cultivation, so much so that the other ways of cultivation except the Qi cultivation are considered unorthodox. It involves taking the essence Qi of the world and refining it using cultivation techniques.
It is divided into many great realms further, with each except Qi gathering having nine minor realms. These are as follows:-
(1)Qi Gathering realm - In this realm, cultivator learns to sense and gather qi into their dantian. The number of minor realms in Qi gathering is defined by the talent, perseverance, and Cultivation technique of the cultivator.
(2)Foundation Establishment realm - The realm after spiritual veins are formed inside the body. These veins are very important for all cultivators as they serve as the foundation for all future cultivation.
(3)False Core realm - The realm where severance for the cycle of life and death starts. Life and vitality extend, and true immortal cultivation begins.

There are many Body forging manuals but unlike Qi cultivation, Body forging does not need to be systematic, and neither does the body forger need to stick to a single body forging manual.
Like Qi Cultivation, Body forging also has multiple great realms and each further has nine minor realms. And these realms of body forging are-
(1)Skin Forging- the name of this realm does not do it justice. The first and most crucial step in body forging, here muscles, ligaments, tendons, and of course, skin. The mental limits placed on the body get removed, giving cultivators a substantial increase in power over pure Qi cultivators.
(2)Bone Forging- strengthening of the skeletal system, along with muscles. Cultivators of this realm gain incredible vitality. Wounds that usually take weeks, start to heal in a matter of hours.
(3)Blood Forging- this realm focuses on refining internal organs and in a way, the blood of the cultivator.
(4)Physical Refinement...
