Body Transformation

One transforms their body and strengthens it. As one progressed through the body transformation realm, they would release impurities from their body. First, life essence is condensed. Then, the flesh is strengthened as well as the muscles. The veins are opened and the bones are reforged and made stronger. Lastly, new blood is formed that allows for the person to step into the foundation establishment realm. At the peak of this realm, a person can destroy a city block.

Life essence is the core of a cultivator. In order to begin refining heavenly energy, a cultivator needs to condense their essence. Condensing life essence requires a cultivator to send heavenly energy into their body in order to awaken their essence. This heavenly energy can come from a spiritual pill, another cultivator of a foundation establishment level, or a spiritual land.

Beginning from the Flesh Strengthening stage, all body transformation stages are split into early, middle, late, peak, and half-step levels. Half-step is not an official level as it is just the peak of the peak, very close to the next stage.

Flesh strengthening requires the cultivator to strengthen their skin. This is done by infusing the flesh with a cultivator's essence. This process is time consuming and therefore can be sped up by harming the area of flesh to speed up the infusion of essence.

Altering Muscle requires a cultivator to strengthen their muscles. This is done by infusing the muscles with a cultivator's essence. This process is time consuming and therefore can be sped up by harming the area of flesh to speed up the infusion of essence.

Vein Opening requires the cultivator to open their veins so that they are suitable to absorb heavenly energy by imbuing them with the cultivator's essence. There would be 100,000 veins that are required to open. Middle stage vein opening cultivators have opened 10,000 veins. Late stage vein opening cultivators have opened at least 40,000 veins. Peak stage vein opening cultivators have opened at least 75,000 veins.

Bone forging requires a cultivator to strengthen their bones. Unlike the previous stages of the body transformation realm, bone forging requires a cultivator to destroy their bones and reforge them, infusing them with the cultivator's essence making them suitable to absorb heavenly energy. There are pills which make it so that a cultivator can bear the pain of destroying their bones.

Blood forming requires a cultivator to infuse their essence into their blood marrow so that the blood produced by their body is stronger and suitable to absorbing heavenly energy. Reaching the middle level of the blood forming stage requires 20% of the blood produced by a cultivator's body to be refined. 50% blood is required to be considered a late stage blood forming cultivator. 85% refined blood is required to be considered a peak blood forming expert.
