Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms Chapter 1: I’ve Once Met a Fairy

The beginning is confusing to those who have never picked up a cultivation story before, so I’ll offer some quick context so that it makes more sense. If you’re still confused, feel free to drop something in the comment and hopefully I’ll see it and answer.

Quick context about martial artists

This is a supernatural world where martial artists can gather ki (natural energy from their surroundings) inside their body and use it for combat. How powerful a martial artist is depends on how much ki they can gather.

Quick context about Martial Cultivation

Martial artists start off with Ki Condensation, where they gather their ki inside a storage organ inside them called the ‘ki sea’. They are basically just accumulating ki to use for battle.

The second stage is Ki Explosion, where martial artists gain the ability to efficiently exert their ki in bursts, making them more formidable in combat.

The third stage is Ki Control, where martial artists gain finer control over their ki, which allows them to pull off more stunts in battle.

Last but not least, the fourth stage is Ki Manifestation, where martial artists can manifest all of the ki they have gathered into a single core, which increases their ki capacity and concentration (imagine having more and thicker energy to use)

And this is just the very start of being a martial artist. Those within these four stages fall under the category of Human Profound. Above that is Earth Profound and Heaven Profound.

If a person’s ki sea is destroyed, it would mean the person cannot accumulate ki and whatever ki he has stored there previously will be lost, which means he’s a goner as a martial artist.

Quick context about Cultivators (Daoists) and Astral Traveling/ Projection

If you have played RPGs before, you can think of cultivators as one job (e.g. mage) and martial artists as another job (e.g. warrior). There are some similarities, such as both use ki, but they develop in different directions.

Cultivators are people who train in hopes of becoming immortal. In contrast, daoists are people who embrace the ideology of daoism, and that results in most daoists being cultivators.

Cultivators are capable of special means, and one of them is astral projection. It involves temporarily separating the soul from the body, and allowing the soul to wander freely around without restraint.
