The higher your realm is the more stats you obtain allowing you to reach millions of digits in later stages Energy perception (5 levels each) body refinement soul refinement qi paths refinement dantian condensing martial law (10 levels each) earth law. In a few months, i am planning to run a high fantasy asian/wuxia themed pathfinder 1e game and i wanted some help in what people 'in universe' might call certain levels. In many cases (although not all) where these are used, there are 9 ranks/levels/layers to each stage of cultivation, with rank 1 being the start and rank 9 being the peak. Now that the novel has reached volume 4, the list of realms and cultivation levels is getting a bit overwhelming (even for me 😅) So, to ease your (and mostly my) woes, here’s a compiled table of cultivation levels for each of the major daoist lineages!
As for power level most wuxias are extremely low power level Where at the most a martial artist can fell a hundred soldiers or survive a bullet by shifting their organs around But even the most powerful can’t stand up to a squad of men with assault rifles. There are 9 ranks/levels/layers to each stage of cultivation, with rank 1 being the start and rank 9 being the peak After breaking through to the next stage, the practitioner starts at rank 1 of that new stage The number “9” symbolizes the nine heavens, as well as rebirth.
The concept of rank tier was popularised during the ancient antiquity era. These levels invariably have fancy names, anyone that lasts more than a chapter will have special secret techniques let them punch above their level, and anyone rich will get magic drugs that let them level up quickly if they dont poison you.
