More trials, and the pursuit of deeper truth. This is the starting point for countless cultivation stories.
🔥 Realm of Origin and the Cultivation Flame
Before existence, there was stillness. From this emptiness ignited the Origin Flame—a sentient blaze whose breath created the earth, oceans, sky, and the spiritual forces that bind them.
The Flame became the source of all natural laws and gave birth to the framework for advancement, known in this world as cultivation. This moment seeded the Seven Spiritual Roots, which guide all who walk the path of power.
🌱 Spiritual Roots Cultivation System
Every being in Yuanjing carries within them a dormant potential—an inner element, or spiritual root. These roots manifest affinities with elemental forces and are typically discovered at age 12 through a sacred rite.
The root defines a person’s growth, the techniques they can learn, and even how their spirit interacts with the world.
- Fire: Brings power through destruction, passion, and direct force
- Water: Mastery of healing, adaptation, and smooth progression
- Earth: Stability, durability, and long-term strength
- Wind: Speed, motion, and elusive tactics
- Void: Evolutionary potential—grows uniquely with the cultivator
- Primordial: Pure balance, linked to the Origin Flame itself
- Light & Shadow: A rare dual root tied to karma, fate, and consequence
The system is not rigid—training and enlightenment can shift the nature of a root over time. No two cultivators share the same path completely.
✨ Spiritual Awakening and Cultivation Ranking
The pivotal moment in a young person’s life is the Awakening Ceremony. Taking place in the heart of every major city, the ceremony involves an ancient artifact that responds to the spirit. The artifact reveals the individual’s spiritual root, their color tier, and their star rating—an evaluation of their natural talent and potential growth.
- 1–7 Stars: A higher star rating enables faster comprehension and greater breakthroughs
- Color Tiers: Grey → White → Green → Blue → Purple → Red → Gold
The result of this test can define a lifetime—affecting not just one’s cultivation opportunities, but their social value and status within the region.
🏯 Cultivation Sects and Fantasy Guilds
In Yuanjing, power structures are divided into two major types: sects and guilds. Sects are training organizations dedicated to cultivating spiritual power through structured paths and inner halls. Guilds serve broader functions—crafting, healing, engineering, and more—supporting mortal society while sometimes influencing deeper training indirectly.
Sect Ranking and Disciple Progression
- Minor Sect → Small → Medium → Big → Great Sect
- Ranks: Handyman → Outer Disciple → Inner Disciple → Core Disciple
Sects are often isolated, competing for talent, and structured around halls such as Qi, Alchemy, Beast Taming, or Array Crafting. Rising through the ranks is as political as it is spiritual.

🐉 Divine Blessings in the Cultivation Path
Beyond roots and training lies the realm of Blessings—gifts from divine forces, ancient beasts, and long-departed cultivators. Each spiritual path—Qi, Body, and Mind—has seven Blessings tied to it. They are rare and often granted through visions, battles, or deep enlightenment.
Blessings can alter a root’s nature, unlock hidden traits, or grant the cultivator new abilities beyond their stage. Some are hereditary, others are earned through feats or sacrifices. A cultivator with multiple blessings is often revered—or feared.
⚙️ Spiritual Technology and Core-Powered Tools
Unlike typical fantasy realms, Yuanjing exists in a period of early industrialization. Mortals have harnessed spiritual cores—refined energy crystals—as power sources for machines. With limited cultivator presence in cities, this has allowed a balance between spiritual elites and mortal progress.
Examples of such hybrid tech include floating barges, teleportation gates, spirit-reactors for homes, and weapons engraved with functioning inscriptions. Engineers often collaborate with inscriptionists and guildA guild is a mortal-run organization focused on a specific trade, craft, or field of service.

This blend of martial arts, spiritual philosophy, and high fantasy creates a unique setting where epic battles are fought with both physical might and profound spiritual power.
