Cultivation stages/mid stages/life span
Energy Absorption - This is the process in which a cultivator begins to absorb energy from their surroundings. This energy is drawn into the body through qi veins, which exist in anyone possessing a spirit root. The size and number of these veins depend on the spirit root itself.
At this realm, cultivators can expel and control their qi outside their bodies, using it for attacks.

.
Foundation Establishment - This is the stage where a cultivator builds the foundation for their future cultivation. It increases their body mass and size while compressing it with each sub-level. At this stage, a cultivator also develops Energy Sense, allowing them to perceive the world around them in greater detail.
Energy Sense Range (Average Diameter)
1st stage – 0.25m
2nd stage – 0.5m
3rd stage – 1m
4th stage – 2m
5th stage – 3m
6th stage – 4m
7th stage – 5m
8th stage – 7.5m
9th stage – 10m

.
Energy Liquidation - This is the process where a cultivator condenses gaseous energy into liquid form within their body. Upon breaking through to this realm, the cultivator can levitate and access their inner mind world, where the condensed energy is stored. This inner world allows the cultivator to observe their energy reserves, simulate battles, and perform various other functions.

.
Core Formation - At this stage, the cultivator, after breaking through Energy Liquidation, forms a fully developed core at the beginning of the Core Formation realm. This core undergoes continuous refinement by absorbing qi, gradually increasing in size and brightness. With each sub-stage, the qi within the core becomes stronger, purer, and more efficient.
-Core Formation/early-middle-late-perfect/600-900
Mid Stages / Core Size :
Infant Core / 1 cm
Teen Core / 5 cm
Adult Core / 50 cm
Ancient Core / 2.5 m
.
Core Transformation - At this stage, the cultivator compresses their Core, transforming it into a stronger version. This transformation introduces an inner world within the Core, making it distinct from the previous stage. A key difference is that cultivators at this stage can interact with ambient qi, merging it with their own. They can also absorb controlled qi, speeding up cultivation, though this method carries greater risks.
-Core Transformation/Early-Middle-Late-Perfect/1600 - 1900
Mid Stages / Size of Core / Size of Inner World of the Cultivator:
(10%) - Infant Auric Core / 2m
(30%) - Teen Auric Core / 50cm
(60%) - Adult Auric Core / 5cm
(100%) - Ancient Auric Core / 5mm / 1mm
.
Space Traveling – At this realm, the cultivator transcends mortal needs and gains a body so powerful that they can travel through the vacuum of space without issue.
