Synopsis

For as long as he could remember, Yang Tian's home would be that plain, shabby-looking, hagged hut at the hillside of Green Maplewood Mound. There was his foster mother, childhood friends, and the first love of his life.

Just like him, she was an ordinary orphan from the Verdant Cloud Orphanage. Their paths intertwined through a moment of serendipity under the sheets of winter and moonlight, it was at that day Yang Tian felt there was a purpose in life, other than his daily regime of jogging the mountains with over 80 jins of wood stacked on his back. (2 jins = 1kg.)

Through twists and turns, a few months later, Yang Tian was caught in a situation where this elegant girl saved his life and his foster mother. It was around that new year that Yang Tian was introduced to Martial Arts — Cultivation.

Under the pale sky of the Verdant Cloud Village, Yang Tian embarked on his rudimentary stages of cultivation through mild body tempering. It was then that he looked back, realizing the fruits of his labor for the past few years of aimless jogging.

At first, he wanted to advance through a thorny road to stand face to face with the woman he once loved, the woman who looked at him with pity and hidden helplessness behind her serene gaze, he wanted for her to rely on him and more. Before he knew it, the Verdant Cloud Village became too small to accommodate his strength, and only then did he muster up the courage to greet the woman whom he loved.

Alas, fate had it that the dice didn't roll his lucky numbers, she had already been betrothed to a Young Master from an adjacent City Manor, her fate was to become the living furnace of yet a stronger Martial Cultivator.

Just when Yang Tian drowned in the pits of despair, a fateful encounter with a Goddess-like figure gave him aspirations. Realizing the depths of his true background, realizing the origin of the blood running through his veins, realizing the volumes his last name 'Yang' spoke of, and realizing how the upbringing of this Era Of Cultivation was the downfall, catastrophe, and one might say the catalyst for the annihilation of his kin via blood— all over a 100,000 years ago…

The sheer impact of the revelation this Goddess figure bestowed upon him subverted his understanding of the world around him. For as far as he could excavate, he was nothing but a ripple in the vast ocean, nothing more, nothing less.

For he desired strength, strength to not be a mere ripple on the surface of matters, but to be the God-like being to shape the waters, pour the ocean, and spread the ripples!

The aspirations of becoming someone capable of drawing the gazes of longing, admiration, and pride.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, years went by and seasons changed. Yang Tian went from a pitiful child inspiring pity and disdain to the spark that set the Divine Elysium Plane ablaze.


Martial Skills or Techniques:

The body of a Martial Artist resembles a vast land of seas and rivers. One's meridian channels circulate a portion of energy through the pores and acupoints, energy drawn from the Dantian; Inner World. This energy regulates the body through a specific pattern, akin to electric signals in a chart whereas each signal impulses varying commands. These commands give birth to the Martial Skills or Techniques of a Martial Artist.

To cultivate a Martial Skill or a Martial Technique, be it passive or active, a cultivation manual or scripture is required. Following the manual, one can readjust the circulation pattern of their energy for an optimal effect. A passive Martial Skill is an indefinite change to one's energy distribution; As long the person is alive, the inhabited energy regulation is passive. On the other hand, an active Martial Skill is when a Martial Artist deliberately offsets the balance towards a varying circulation pattern, it often stimulates more energy from the Dantian in order to accomplish.
Cultivation

For a mortal to tread onto the path of cultivation, they would need to relinquish their attachments to the tangible and intangible chains of mortality. First and foremost, a mortal is required to phase through the steps of the 'Transcendent Metamorphosis.'

Transcendent Metamorphosis consists of six stages.

∆ Marrow Tempering.

∆ Bone Tempering.

∆ Viscera Tempering.

∆ Blood Cleansing.

∆ Meridians Forming.

∆ Qi Circulation.

Before completing the 'Transcendent Metamorphosis', it is inherently impossible to absorb spiritual Qi through the 360 acupoints surfacing the skin. Thus, one needs to orally consume heavenly materials and spiritual medicine to discharge spiritual Qi and circulate it after complete digestion.

Blindly consuming spiritual medicine won't improve a mortal's body towards a path of cultivation. If a mortal doesn't circulate the Qi through their body following a respective cultivation manual, the few benefits a mortal would gain from consuming spiritual herbs are insubstantial. For instance, extending lifespan, rejuvenating the skin, cleansing a few impurities, and whatnot.

-

After completing the 'Transcendent Metamorphosis', an individual is still considered a common mortal who is slightly stronger than a human. The following step is 'Dantian Consolidation.'

Dantian Consolidation consists of five stages.

∆ Connecting The Meridians.

∆ Acupoints Opening.

∆ Meridians Expansion.

∆ Elementary Stage Dantian.

∆ Final Stage Dantian.

-

After successfully establishing a dantian, a mortal can utilize their meridians and acupoints to magnetize spiritual Qi from the ambient environment directly to accumulate their personal reserves of spiritual Qi within the dantian. This is also known as the half-step into becoming a martial artist, whereas venturing into the avenue of Martial Arts is called, 'Martial Divide.'

The Martial Divide is a state of harmonization between man and heaven. This is a phase of discharging the impurities from the stages of 'Transcendent Metamorphosis', and 'Dantian Consolidation.'

The Martial Divide consists of three stages.

∆ Small Success.

∆ Medium Success.

∆ Large Success.

The ratio of success in each stage will depend on the accumulative amount of impurities discharged before being replaced by pure spiritual Qi.

∆ Small Success at 33%.

∆ Medium Success at 66%.

∆ Large Success at 99%.

The final step at 100% could be considered as breaking through the shackles of mortality into becoming a genuine martial artist, otherwise known as a cultivator.

-

After Martial Divide, a martial artist would step into the large boundary known as the 'Heaven Divide.' This is a large boundary revolving around Three Small Boundaries, each has Three Small Stages.

∆ Assembling Heaven. ( 3 stages.)

∆ Embracing Heaven. ( 3 stages.)

∆ Ascending Heaven. ( 3 stages.)

The Heaven Divide is the realm where a martial artist would focus on studying the laws of heaven and earth, assembling these laws into the dantian through the first three stages. Then, sublimating the respective laws into one's dantain, forming a 'World Seed' center the dantian, officially completing the three stages of embracing heaven. The final step, ascending heaven, the 'World Seed' would sprout into an ethereal small world that emphasizes the accumulated laws built as a foundation.

-

After sprouting the 'World Seed', one can enter the 'Ethereal Sovereign' large boundary that consists of three levels.

∆ Elementary Sovereign.

∆ Intermediate Sovereign.

∆ Senior Sovereign.

The Sovereign boundary is about enhancing the laws and the background of a small world within a martial artist. Depending on the degree of perfection relating to one's inner world, the more power they could exhibit during a display of might and strength. The boundary following is known as the 'Celestial Deity' boundary.

-

After completing the Ethereal Sovereign boundary to the limit, one's inner world would naturally evolve into a life-sustaining small world. Living creatures, fauna, flora, and any shape of life can a mortal life. Although spiritual Qi would be abundant due to the nature of how the world was formed, the spiritual Qi within a small world at the 'Celestial Deity' boundary isn't suitable for cultivation as it lacks the 'Essence' of Heaven and Earth.

Only after completing the 'Celestial Deity', and stepping into the 'Diety' boundary, the quality of spiritual Qi bred within a martial artist's inner world can assist mortals with cultivation. Nonetheless, if one wanted to merely grow spiritual herbs within their inner worlds before reaching the 'Diety' boundary, that is possible.

Each of the 'Celestial Deity' and 'Deity' boundaries divided into small, medium, and large success whereas the density of 'spiritual Qi' in the former determines the success ratio and the density of 'Heaven and Earth Essence' in the latter determines the ratio of success.

∆ Small Success at 33%.

∆ Medium Success at 66%.

∆ Large Success at 99%.

-

The 100% success in the Deity Boundary is a step that not many could cross. This is a step of merging the 'Foundation Laws', 'Spiritual Qi', and the 'Heaven and Earth Essence' into one, completely annihilating the former body and reforming the body anew in a death and rebirth experience.

Some people would rather fuse their 'Foundation Laws' and 'Spiritual Qi' and remain content with that step, as they don't have the confidence of stepping into the 'Heavenly Boundary', thus they remain at the 'Half-step Heavenly'.

The boundary of Heavenly is known as a pinnacle existence within the Elysium Plane, the strength between each Heavenly Master solely depends on their foundation of laws and the quality of their spiritual Qi before breaking through. Because's the foundation laws are set in stone early in the path of cultivation, only those with immense backup and resources from large organizations and sects have the chance to establish formidable foundations.

For instance, if a Heavenly Expert had built their inner world through perfecting Three Laws, they naturally can't compare to someone who spent their time perfecting a total of Six Laws. The disparity is too immense.

Thus, there was a system to differentiate between the power levels of Heavenly Experts.

∆ 1 - 3 Laws. ( Heavenly.)

∆ 4 - 6 Laws. ( Heavenly Lord.)

∆ 7 - 9 Laws. ( Heavenly King/Queen.)

∆ 10 + Laws. ( Heavenly Emperor/Empress.)

Yang Tian's Cultivation:

Essence Tempering

Tempering the Essence is a process of tempering the body. In terms of vitality, sturdiness, resilience, and rejuvenation properties, Yang Tian's body obtained the proportions of a God Beast; Void Dragon. Cultivating Essence revolves around enhancing one's raw prowess in terms of bones, muscles, tendons, limbs, and so on forth.

  • Physique:
    • God Beast: A God Beast is dotted upon by the laws of Heaven & Earth, with an innate affinity towards the absorption of primitive laws from the great divide, their growth process is considered to be simple yet strenuous. An adult God Beast's age would range through a hundred millennia as an average base. They entertain massive celestial bodies with raw prowess amounting to billions of jins, whereas their skeletons are inscribed with law runes.
    • Law Runes: Law Runes divide into two; Artificial & Innate. The former are laws inscribed by cultivators through their own perception and comprehensions from Heaven and Earth, whereas the latter is the condensation of scriptures as a natural phenomenon from the Heavenly Dao.
    • Void Dragon: A God Beast with an innate affinity towards the Laws Of Space, their growth cycle involves roaming spatial cracks, distorted void, and mystical realms. The body of an Adult Dragon can amount to a height of over 20,000 kilometers. A God Beast's body is malleable for body augmentation, allowing a God Beast the innate ability to shrink and expand in size.
    • After Rebirth: Upon reaching certain conjunction with cultivation, Yang Tian's next breakthrough obligated the destruction of the human body, reshaping the Heavenly body under the sublime cleansing of Laws. Through the process, Yang Tian underwent the currents of Rebirth by assimilating the decomposed body of a Void Dragon God Beast; Skeleton, Essence, and Laws, into his evolving body. This, in turn, fundamentally metamorphosed Yang Tian's race from a human to an unorthodox dragon.


Energy Tempering

Energy Cultivation is a tailored system pioneered towards enhancing the body through the accumulation of Spiritual Qi through meridian channels. Following a cultivation scripture, one can comprehend the cosmic laws between heaven and earth, regulate the circulation of energy through the body in a peculiar pattern following the principles of the Great Divide Of Yin & Yang, assimilating laws, and constructing a small universe within the body. At the level of creating a universe, one can utilize the power of their universe, including the primitive laws of heaven and earth, allowing an Energy Tempering Cultivator to represent the power of a nominated Cosmic Emperor.

  • Heavenly Emperor - The Ten Laws.
    • Law Of Space.
    • Law Of Time.
    • Law Of Gravity.
    • Law Of Life.
    • Law Of Death.
    • Law Of Fire.
    • Law Of Water.
    • Law Of Metal.
    • Law Of Wood.
    • Law Of Air.


  • Auspicious Ravine Realm:
    • The inner universe that Yang Tian cultivated within his body is a cosmic level world containing the aforementioned Ten Laws as a foundation to prosper. One's inner world can be understood as a separate dimension, where it may take the shape of a mellow, spherical object from the outside, but it remains as the condensation of over a hundred millenniums of accumulated energy. The inner world could sustain life for both flora and fauna, spiritual herbs, demonic beasts, and even mass populations with its massive landscape. Auspicious Ravine Realm has an expanse of approximately {90 x 10^33} km. The inhabitants of the inner world remain ignorant to the fact they're prospering within the body of an immortal cultivator unless brought out from the realm following the will of Yang Tian.


Spirit Tempering

Spirit Tempering, Cultivating the 'Divine', in essence, is to develop one's ethereal lethality. The body of one's spirit is also known as an intangible consciousness, whereas the exuded pressure is spiritual. A refined Spirit provides aid in the mental endeavors; Perception, Observation, and Divination.

  • Divine:
    • The Divine is the latent potential within a mortal's consciousness. The spirit of a mortal is a fragile existence that could be tempered through strenuous cultivation. Enhancing one's spirit would unlock many avenues for growth in terms of comprehending laws, self-awareness, and even self-preservation. A stronger spirit functions as a ward against mental instability, illusions, drowsiness, fatigue, and could further enhance one's endurance under extended periods of partaking tasks such as artifacts forging, refining, or practicing alchemy.

Essence Tempering Prowess:


Yang Tian had not followed a Body Tempering Scripture through his path of cultivation. However, after experiencing the Rebirth and assimilating with the body of a God Beast, his Essence in body sky-rocketed in leaps and bounds. From lagging behind his Energy Tempering, to stand on par and soar beyond. A God Beast's strength (ATK/DEF) is measured by Star(s), whereas a single star amounts to 1000 billion jins. After the Rebirth, Yang Tian's body has a total of 'Three Stages', also known as the 'Primitive Seals'.

  • First Primitive Seal: Seal Of Qiankun.
    • This is a state where Yang Tian constraints his body to the form of a human, his previous youthful appearance prior to experiencing a rebirth. In this state, with the hundreds of meridian channels, tempered acupoints, flesh, bones, and tendons, Yang Tian has the capabilities to exhibit 5 stars worth of ATK/DEF.


  • Second Primitive Seal: Seal Of Xiantian.
    • This state is apparent by the showcasing of Yang Tian's full-body battle armor, which is a condensation of the God Beast's exterior scales. The appearance of the armor foreshadows the relation to a Dragon God Beast, with the metallic claws, long, proportional tail, and a pair of wings with a span of ten meters. With the capabilities of the God Beast Lineage, Yang Tian could exhibit 10 stars worth of ATK/DEF.


  • Third Primitive Seal: Seal Of Diyu.
    • This could be regarded as when Yang Tian reveals the body of a True God Beast, a Dragon. In this form, Yang Tian is indiscernible from an actual beast, with the appearance of an orthodox true dragon, a height of over twenty thousand meters, a well-proportioned body, and a wingspan of sixty thousand meters. The innate body metamorphosis abilities allow Yang Tian to augment the size, scale, and volume of his body accordingly, whereas the fluids like blood and essence are maintained within vessels imbued with the laws of space, granting an inter-spatial storage dimension to allocate and diffuse fluids during stages of metamorphosis. This peculiar anatomy is shared amongst all types of God Beasts to circumvent the inconvenience of maintaining a body comparable to celestial bodies in its aspects. In this form, Yang Tian's prowess equates to 100 stars of ATK/DEF.
