*****************Cultivation realm*********************

{ Low, Mid, High, and Peak are the stages of the cultivation realm. A person in a high stage of a certain realm can also advance to another realm. The peak stage doesn't define the literal stage but rather defines the individual's battle strength. For example, A peak bone forging realm may defeat a foundation realm with sufficient preparation and experience. Similarly, a peak bone forging realm is stronger than a high bone forging realm by default due to their accumulation of Dao or either through their large sized Dantian. Dao can be called an understanding of a person towards the principle of the universe, which varies from person to person. However, The sheer understanding of principle won't make up too much difference in a fight against different realms where both have the same amount of preparation and with similar foundation unless external factors are added }

{

The difference in the production of the quantity, as well as the quality of qi, will be different from realm to realm. The quality of Dantian will also change from realm to realm. Change in stages will enforce the Dantian and help it gain more qi, whereas the change in the realm will let the Dantian reform itself.

Similarly, different stages of the same realm will have a bit of difference in the amount of production of qi as well as quality.

For example, a high-stage foundation realm cultivator will absorb and produce dark yellow qi, a middle-stage foundation realm cultivator will create pure yellow qi and a low-grade foundation master will create light yellow qi. The first two stages will be about purifying qi and the next stage will be about intensifying it.

Similarly, a peak foundation realm master's qi will be way more compressed, intense, and powerful. It is also called brilliant yellow qi.

}

1. Mortal (Life span = 100yrs)

2. Awakening (Max life span naturally = 200 yrs, red qi ): Low awakening occurs immediately after the Dantian formation.

3. Bone forging realm (Max life span naturally = 500 yrs, orange qi)

4. Foundation master (Max life span naturally = 1000 yrs, yellow qi)

5. Spirit formation realm (Max life span naturally = 10000 yrs, green qi): Consists of additional three sub-stages: Creation, Formation, and materialization.

{ Cultivators can fly without any support and solely through the use of external qi. This stage allows cultivators to talk through divine sense and scan areas without any martial arts but solely through soul and mind. }

6. Ascension realm(Max life span naturally = 500000 yrs, blue qi): Practitioners can tear through the space of small worlds with ease and can no longer cultivate solely through qi circulation. They have to understand a certain dao to ascend to immortal.

7. Immortal: A being having a body with a certain dao. Capable of absorbing dao and tearing through the void and sending small souls to it. Immortals can only absorb the dao they understand. Immortals have regular tribulations that increase their dao marks in their bodies by giving them more insight. Most immortal's death occurs due to tribulations. Immortals can live forever. However, Once they are killed by either another opponent or immortal, their dao marks are absorbed by either the opponent or by the universe itself. They have a superior form of qi, the golden qi.

8. Heavenly emperor: A master of dao. Capable of manipulating dao in place and doing tasks with dao. Their abilities can last for eternity and they face stronger tribulations. They are capable of going to another world. They can peek into chaos. Their soul itself gets combined with dao and can fight against immortals with just a small part of their soul. They possess violet qi consisting of traces of chaos.

9. Sovereign: Owner of one dao. Can use its power to mimic other dao. Knows everything about their dao. There have been only nine sovereigns in the history of the world of Yama. They become the embodiment of their dao. Can control the entirety of their Dao. They own white qi, the beginning of all qi's, and are not restricted by immortal Dantian. Just a strand of their white qi can control all other seven qi's with ease and they can use the world's qi to their full potential.

******************Beasts cultivation*********************

1. Mortal( rely only on natural physical body)

2. Primal ( On par with the low stage of bone forging realm, can use qi to do some basic things and cause additional damage)

3. Mystic (On par with low stages of foundation master realm)

4. Mythic ( On par with the middle stage of the Spirit formation realm, beasts develop the intelligence of a 10-year-old and can use some martial arts as well as use qi to fly and so on)

5.Elemental( On par with middle stage of ascension realm. Will develop their divine sense and have power over one or more elements)

6. Divine(On par with middle stage of immortals. Most immortals have to run away when they see these beasts as they have high intelligence as well as strength naturally. It is only possible for a beast to reach the Divine stage by fusing their body with a certain element. Unlike humans, beasts still can't master dao completely. They too face tribulations but far slower than humans.)

7. Radiant Apex( The strongest beasts in the world on par with a low-grade of heavenly emperors. They have the intelligence of an average immortal and can scheme and rely on both brain and brawn. They need to comprehend at least one dao to ascend to Radian Apex. They can use their previous elemental abilities as well as use dao to fight. The number of Radiant Apex beasts can be counted on one hand.)

The comparison with human cultivators is at a time of change in the realm. The beasts naturally have higher power than humans and can improve their strength with time. The comparison is just meant to give you a general idea of the strength of these beasts.

---------------------Basic stuff about the world------------------------------

World of yama consists of a weird energy called as qi. Qi is present everywhere in the world and is in every being. Some people can feel it and use it through use of spiritual roots that connect a person's mind, soul and body to the universe's will. Dao is the principle behind things. It's understanding can vary from universe to universe as well as from individuals to individuals. Sometimes, even mortals or lower realm cultivators can master dao, however they are unable to use their full power because of their lack of qi. Dantian is the space in a cultivators body which lies in body where qi is stored. Qi can also form in dantian naturally. Many cultivators have died trying to search the spatial coordinates of qi but none of them have found where it truly exists. Damage to dantain is possible by various ways and any damage in dantain will lead to serious injury or sometimes even stagnant cultivation. If the damage is high enough, the dantain will shatter and it will reduce the cultivator to a mortal. A cultivator who downgrades to mortal will live for another 100 years and will be usually stronger than mortals if they have some dao accumulation in physical body or have strengthened their body through qi previously.

Also, world of Yama is divided into three regions and two realms. The realms will be introduced later on but the regions are given somewhere above.

Time in Yama world is measured in ya and ma. Ya means years, ma means one million year. The time where the story takes place is after 8197ya and 454 ma.

Tianxia is a book consisting of history of the major events of the world. Its content will be revealed from time to time. Not every Tianxia book has equal amount of information. Who possesses the entire book of Tianxia lies is unknown. What all the Tianxia books have in common is they all share the story of Yama. Basic Info on yama is in the first story chapter. More about book will be given in later chapters.

Cultivators use qi as a currency. They sell their additional qi by making lumps of them. It is a common type of currency in yama world.

Mortals use wealth such as gold and silver for living where as

immortals use golden qi lumps as major form of transaction. Violet qi lumps were also used but they were very uncommon.
