-2 Cultivation realms. (2/2)

Primordial Soul realm. Your soul has fully evolved to the next realm, the might of the heavens having integrated themselves into your soul and having made it so strong that you can survive as just a soul, taking over the bodies of other living beings should your own body be destroyed. To cultivate through this realm, you must use the might of the heavens that have integrated into your soul to hollow out your own soul, pushing all the energy that would be in the inside of your soul to the outside, further compressing and strengthening the now hollow shell of your soul.

Heaven Imitating Soul realm. A cultivator would enter this realm once they had fully hollowed out their soul, and the way to cultivate through this stage was just as the name suggested. Using the might of the heavens that your soul had absorbed, you would form a pseudo-heaven within your hollowed out soul, creating an imitation of the heavens that governed your universe. The larger this pseudo-heaven grew, the higher in this cultivation realm you were.

Heaven's Soul realm. In this cultivation realm, you had to disintegrate your soul and fuse both your disintegrated soul and all your laws into the pseudo-heaven you had created, slowly merging them together and evolving your pseudo-heaven into something that could be called a true heaven, a heaven completely unique to you. The larger and more real your heaven became, the closer you came to reaching the final soul cultivation stage.

Soul Empyrean realm. The peak of soul cultivation, the heaven that was your soul would become an entire universe, spawning living and sentient beings. The strength, faith, and life-force of every living being within this universe could be freely used by the soul cultivator, giving them boundless might that equaled an entire universe.

Body cultivation.

Core Forging realm. A person must use Qi as well as their laws to engrave runes onto their bones, strengthening them using the laws contained within the runes. Like this, the bones will be able to handle the immense strain they will be put under in the future. Once a person has covered their entire skeleton, they can enter the next cultivation realm.

Heart Rune realm. Much like the previous realm, the cultivator must use their laws and some source of Qi to engrave runes onto their organs, covering them with tightly connected runes that signify your laws. These runes will connect with the ones carved onto your skeleton, causing them to resonate with the distant heavens above and drawing down some of their might. This resonance will also spawn a type of energy unique to body cultivators, Dark Star Essence. This Dark Star Essence is not as versatile as Qi, but it contains far more might and weight, perfect for physical attacks and body strengthening. This Dark Star Essence also contains a terrifying vitality, allowing a cultivator's body to rapidly regenerate itself.

Star Blood realm. After engraving all their organs with their runes, a cultivator will move on to their veins and blood, using their laws and Dark Star Essence to carve the runes directly into their own veins and their blood, allowing the runes to move throughout the entire body. These runes will connect with the previously carved ones to further strengthen the resonance with the heavens, drawing down even more might.

Primordial Body realm. This step required a person to carve their runes into the remaining parts of their body, their flesh, skin, hair, and nails. Once every inch of their being has been covered in their own unique runes, the resonance they create will become so strong that a tremendous amount of heavens might will be drawn down and swallowed by the body. The body will then use this energy to strengthen and evolve itself, allowing a cultivator to enter the next cultivation realm.

Heaven Imitating Body realm. Just like the soul cultivation realm of the same name, the cultivator now has to hollow out their body and use the gathered might of the heavens to form a pseudo-heaven inside their body. Once every inch of their now hollowed out insides had been filled up with the pseudo-heaven, they could enter the next cultivation realm.

Heaven's Body realm. In this realm, the body cultivator disintegrates their own body and merges both their disintegrated body and their laws into their pseudo-heaven turning it into a true heaven that is unique to them. Once the pseudo-heaven finished evolving into a true heaven, you would enter the peak stage of body cultivation.

Star Empyrean realm. The peak of body cultivation, the heaven that one's body had become would grow into an entire universe that could birth living and sentient beings, allowing the cultivator to draw upon their collective might to unleash might that can only be considered calamitous
