Cultivation
General Classification

Cultivation is split into three core concept: Body, Mind, and Soul.
Also known as Body Transformation, Essence Gathering, and Soul Condensation.  Each core concept have different system of cultivation, offering unique challenges and specialization.


[Note: the group number is merely for clarity of reference towards the Venn Diagram above, the numbers has no underlying significance.]

Group 1 - Body Cultivation

This aspect of cultivation primarily focuses on physical strengthening and transforming the practitioner's body. It involves techniques, exercises, and methods to enhance physical abilities, such as strength, speed, durability or special abilities. This often involves refining the body to withstand greater level of power.

Group 2 - Spirit Cultivation

This aspect revolves around harnessing and refining external energy or essence within the practitioner's body. It involves methods to accumulate, purify, and condense these energies, which can be used for various purposes, including magical arts, enhancing abilities, and achieving higher state of being.

Group 3 - Soul Cultivation

This aspect delves into the cultivation of the soul, which include developing the 'self' and soul capacity. Soul Cultivation is the most mysterious out of the three due to its nature of being the hardest to perceive. 

Group 1 - Body Cultivation (Body Transformation)

Body Transformation 

Spoiler

Body Transformation is the quintessence of body cultivation. It focuses on the strengthening the physical body through breathing techniques, exercises, and other methods.

- The primary methods of Body Transformation system is [Martial Arts]

[collapse]

Bloodline Cultivation 

Spoiler

Bloodline Cultivation seek to unlock and amplify the latent potential within one's bloodline, drawing upon the strength and abilities inherited from their ancestor. Due to the advances of time, cultivating one's bloodline abilities is no longer limited by ancestry. It is possible for cultivator to plunder bloodline abilities by incorporating other bloodlines through mating, genetic engineering, devouring, or other methods.

- The primary method of Bloodline Cultivation system is [Bloodline Abilities], it is further split into two: Passive Bloodline Ability and Active Bloodline Ability. Passive abilities is often revered to as [Bloodline Traits], which bestow permanent supernatural abilities, such as higher affinity to fire elementals, whereas active abilities must be activated through certain method. Example of active abilities is amplifying a fireball's spell power by using a drop of blood as a spell catalyst or having the ability to burn blood essence in exchange of temporary boost.

- Cultivating one's bloodline has become more common after the age of the Second Hero, it has become 'second nature' for cultivator to consider one's Bloodline Traits and its compatibility when cultivating a certain technique. Most cultivators inherited Bloodline Traits from their ancestors, one such example is talent being inherited from their parents.

Group 2 - Spirit Cultivation (Essence Gathering)
Mage

Spoiler

Mage Cultivation is the quintessence of Essence Gathering System, focusing on the mastery and manipulation of mana through one's spiritual force. Practitioner of Mage Cultivation harness their innate affinity for magic to cultivate a potent reservoir of mana within themselves.

- Mage cultivation revolves on two concept: Spiritual Force and Mana Pool Condensation
- Spiritual Force is a type of mental energy, it is very versatile in its usage and can be diluted into telepathic thoughts, telepathic will and telepathic emotion through certain methods.
- Mana Pool is both a real and a metaphysical organ located around a Mage's lower belly (or other location for non-humanoid races). It has the shape of a sphere or a pearl, and the volume of one's Mana Pool does not expand as a Mage raises their cultivation base. Instead, the mana pool 'walls' become thicker and more durable, allowing more concentrated mana to accumulate within.
- The primary methods of Mages is [Magic Spell]. Each activation of any Magic Spell require Spiritual Force as the internal energy, Mana as external energy/fuel, and Spell Catalyst to produce the intended effect.

Group 3 - Soul Cultivation (Soul Condensation)

Soul Cultivation System in Morgen World is poorly understood. There's a severe lack of understanding upon the soul, but 'Grimsong Specter' Mordred, the greatest Soul Cultivator of Holy Terra, has his own True Inheritance.

Mordred's Soul Cultivation System

Spoiler

Soul Cultivation revolves around souls, be it the cultivator's own or others. 
There are three components of a soul: Truesoul, Soulforce, and Soul Essence.

- Truesoul is the core component of a soul, it is what held the identity, personality, and memories of a person. Truesoul quality is directly connected to one's experience, personality, and other factors.

- Soulforce is the internal energy of a soul, it can automatically recover like stamina depending on one's Truesoul quality. Mediation, sleeping and other soul pacification method augment soulforce recovery effects.

- Soul Essence is the external energy of a soul, Truesoul would automatically consume soul nutrients from the environment to generate Soul Essence. 

When a living creature with soul dies, their soul essence and soulforce dissipates rapidly, becoming a bountiful source of soul nutrient. The truesoul of the said creature, if unclaimed (by the Divines or other soul-seeking cultivators), will also dissipates naturally.   

According to Mordred's soul-path True Inheritance, there are three facet of soul-path:

  • Self-Soul

Regards to the quality of one's soul. There are three aspect of Self-Soul: Soul Quality, Soul Strength, and Soul Pacification.

- Soul Quality: The quality of a truesoul, measured in qualitative metric. Human have human souls, and dragon have dragon soul. An accomplished Dragon Warlock might possessed dragonman soul instead a human soul, which allows the said warlock to effectively use dragon-restricted method and have higher affinity with dragon races.

- Soul Strength: The strength and the core foundation of a truesoul, measured in a quantitative metric. One unit of Soulforce equal to the strength of 1 human. 100-man soul strength meant the soul have the strength of 100 human, so on and so forth.

- Soul Pacification: Relates to recovery and affinity. When one engage in high-intensity activities (life-and-death combat, deep research, deduction, etc), their souls become excited. An 'excited' soul might become absentminded as their soul detached from the body, thus requiring pacification. One of the simplest soul pacification method is sleeping, but Mordred, as the Magus of Death, was capable of pacifying his soul through killing. 

  • All Being's Soul

Relates to the soul of all living beings and the interaction of thereof. Soul-path life alteration surgery, Soul Modification, Soul Devour method, or the creation of soul-path slave such as Spectral Soul, Spectral Hound or Sentinel Soulguard are All Being's Soul methods. For Mordred, enslavement-path is an extension of All Being's Soul's method as the two relies on the same foundation. To him, enslavement is not a path, but an aspect of soul-path. 

  • Heaven and Earth's Soul

The use of [Soul Arts] and the secrets of Heaven and Earth. Although soul-path is the quintessence of soul cultivation system, it's primary method, Soul Arts, is not purely a soul-path method as it can replicate or reproduce the effect of magic spells or martial arts. However, its power depends on one's soul foundation and soul resources. Therefore, stronger Soul Cultivators have greater advantage in using Soul Arts. 

Mordred's Soul Cultivation System's progression:
