Cultivation System of the Second World

In the Second World, mortal races are unable to absorb spiritual energy directly.

All cultivation paths, therefore, rely on indirect systems that convert vitality, knowledge, or external forces into transcendent power.

First Cultivation Path: The Alchemist Way

The Alchemist Way is the primary path of transcendence.

An alchemist arranges an array using the alchemy runes they have mastered and fuels it with their own vitality.

From this process, a Spirit Life is born.

This Spirit Life becomes the core of cultivation.

Apprentice Alchemist

(Mortal Stage Transcend)

At this stage, the Spirit Life resides within the alchemist's spirit space.

The alchemist masters elemental-level alchemy runes and engraves elemental arrays onto their own body.

A total of three arrays are formed throughout this stage.

Each array undergoes sublimation, evolving from a physical imprint into a spiritual construct.

Sub-stages

First Tier Apprentice Alchemist

The first elemental-level array is formed.

Sublimation proceeds from flesh to spirit.

Second Tier Apprentice Alchemist

The second elemental-level array is formed.

Sublimation proceeds from flesh to spirit.

Third Tier Apprentice Alchemist

The third elemental-level array is formed.

Sublimation proceeds from flesh to spirit.

Fourth Tier Apprentice Alchemist

The power of the three arrays merges to fifty percent.

Fifth Tier Apprentice Alchemist

The power of the three arrays merges to one hundred percent.

Alchemist

(First Stage Transcend)

The Spirit Life undergoes transformation guided by accumulated knowledge.

There are twelve total transformations.

Each transformation alters the nature, function, and stability of the Spirit Life.

Cloak Alchemist

(Second Stage Transcend)

Cultivation shifts focus to the physical body.

The alchemist gains layered control over their own form, progressing through flesh, bone, blood, and cell.

Each realm represents a deeper level of biological and alchemical mastery.

Master Alchemist

(Quasi Third Stage Transcend)

The physical body begins transforming into Spirit Life.

At this stage, the maximum transformation reaches thirty percent.

Flesh, organs, and bodily structure partially spiritualize.

Title Alchemist

(Third Stage Transcend)

The transformation is completed.

The body and Spirit Life fully merge.

A Holy Insignia is formed.

This insignia represents the alchemist's completed path and authority.

Holy Alchemist

(Demigod Stage)

This is the pinnacle of the Alchemist Way.

The Spirit Life ascends beyond mortal constraints.

The alchemist approaches divine existence.
