Rise of the God Emperor

===========

The world of cultivation has 3 main stages, namely mortal, immortal and primordial.

For mortals, as we can already guess, this is a place where humans have a lifespan of around 5 thousand years, in contrast to immortals, their lifespan can reach 50 thousand years and even then only in the early stages.

'uh, even though the name of nature is eternal, it is still not completely eternal, the reason it is called eternal is because the souls of these creatures can create their bodies again.'

'But... their cultivation had to disappear, and in the end they had to start from scratch to be able to get their cultivation back.' Hao Tian was lost in thought, he tried to remember the entire mortal and immortal realms.

'Hah... Even though I've lived for billions of years, it's been a long time, even I forgot the day of my ascension to the immortal realm.' he sighed heavily, patting the top of his head.

Suddenly he became aware of his long hair, it reached his shoulders.

"It's just troublesome..." After saying those words, Hao Chen covered his eyes.

Trying to recall the memory of this young man, finding out if there was a way to cut him.

He continued to be lost in his memories, until 15 minutes before he came to his senses.

A small grin formed on his lips, showing that he knew the right place to cut his hair.

'If I'm not mistaken, this young man has the same surname as me, I think his name is Hao Chen.'

'Somehow it's like fate brought us together, even as a god emperor I don't believe in this.' Hao Tian thought, while saying the name of the young man's body he was currently in.

'If it's true, then his little sister is called Hua Xingyue, and they are not related by blood at all.'

'But, both of them were orphans and Hao Chen chose to take care of them. What a dramatic relationship' even though he muttered in his mind like that, but there was no smile at all on his face.

His gaze was cold, as if he had seen so many mortal lives like this.

But there was no condescending look at all, after all, Hao Tian knew that he had occupied this young man's body.

And again, he had sworn that he would take revenge, that way he could repay him.

"However, my current cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, even though I have used up the remaining energy from my soul, it is still not enough." he said quietly, but his expression showed annoyance.

Showing that he was dissatisfied with the cultivation he had just achieved at this time, this seemed to him to be very weak.

The cultivation stages in the mortal realm have 6 realms, the first is Qi Refinement which has 9 layers.

At this level one had to absorb Qi into their dantian, only then would they have a chance to break through at this stage.

Their lifespans were not much different from mortal humans, perhaps there were no changes at all.

When someone has gathered all the Qi of Heaven and Earth into their dantian, only then do they have the right to break through to the next stage called Foundation Establishment.

In this cultivation level, there are 4 layers, namely Initial, Intermediate, Advanced and Half-step Golden Core.

Before someone wanted to reach the golden core they had to strengthen their foundation first, only then would a cultivator have a chance to break through to this stage.

But... If they failed to create their core then there was only one thing they would have to endure, namely being permanently crippled, and that was very sad in the world of cultivation.

Golden core has 3 stages, namely: Initial stage, Intermediate stage and final stage.

'Even if you think like that, a cultivator can still create a golden core in their body, that is, ask an alchemist to create a breakthrough pill at the golden core stage.'

'That way they will have a 99% chance of reaching this stage, but there is one weakness they have to bear, namely the weak core they will have.' Hao Tian muttered in his mind, with him now lost in thought.

Uh... I hope you already know about this level, so let's move on to the next stage, namely nascent soul.

At this stage one will experience a dead end in being able to continue improving their cultivation, the reason being that at this stage one must manage their soul from an infant and become the same as oneself.

And this stage has 3 layers, namely, early stage, middle stage and peak stage.

In the nascent soul realm, their lifespan is relatively long, around a thousand years, the reason is because this realm is related to the soul.

After the nascent soul, next is the divine sea.

This was the most complicated stage of the nascent soul, a cultivator had to create their divine sea within their inner world, all in order to reach the next stage.

The divine sea realm has 9 layers just like Qi Refinement.

But, of course this is very different from the first realm which in fact has to focus on absorbing Qi, this is very different.

Usually for nascent soul cultivators who wanted to reach this stage they had to take an enlightenment pill, and that was very difficult to obtain.

Only a few alchemists could make it, after all it was a very step in the mortal world.

Actually, what Hao Tian was most worried about was not this, it was the next stage, and this was the last one before he could ascend to the immortal realm.

The name of this level is immortal ascension, a realm that only a few mortals can reach.

Almost the majority of powerful cultivators living in the mortal realm would reach a bottleneck at this level, a stage that was absolutely impossible to reach if their future was very low.

Immortal ascension has 6 layers, namely, Initial Stage, Intermediate Stage, Advanced Stage, Final Stage, Nirvana Stage and Samsara Stage.

This is one of the stages that is impossible to achieve, maybe some people are able to reach the Final Stage but not nirvana.

This was like heaven and earth for people who did not have enough talent to step onto this stage, in the end they could only resign themselves to waiting for their deaths.

Life span of 5 thousand years, as already explained.
