Cultivation realms

The xianxia side of Jie Ming's strength. Realm names follow the translation's canonical renderings; the chapter backfill adds what each realm does and when Jie Ming reaches it.

Seed page

Only chapter-verified facts are listed so far. The extraction pass fills in the rest.

The realms in order

5. Spirit Transformation (Realm)

Jie Ming's progression

• Consolidates his Golden Core with a potion strong enough for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator to stabilize the realm with power to spare.¹

Spiritual power

Cultivation runs on spiritual power, which is a separate thing from a wizard's mental energy.
