Due to some questions regarding the terms I use in the novel, I will summarize all the terms I use below (that have been revealed so far)
Essence Cultivation - Cultivating the dantian in accordance to essence pathway, which is used for external Qi attacks. Keeps Qi stored inside the dantian except for attacking, which results in powerful attacks. Do not have powerful enough bodies to use Body Battle Arts.
Essence Battle Arts - Using Qi from the dantian for external attacks.
Essence Qi - Qi used by essence cultivators for cultivation and essence battle arts.
Body Qi - Qi used by body cultivators for body cultivation and body arts.
Note : (Body Qi and Essence Qi stem from the same Qi, but are used in different ways, hence the names)
Body Cultivation - Cultivating the dantian and using Qi from the dantian to strengthen the body and allow for the use of body battle arts. Must constantly nourish their bodies with Qi to strengthen it, and use Qi for body amplification during battle, and so they do not have the Qi reserves necessary for Essence Battle Arts.
Body Battle Art - Powerful battle arts that empowers body cultivators and uses body Qi internally to empower physical strength instead of sending out Qi for attacks. Put immense strain on the body, so only body cultivators can use them.
Innate Variant Body - Naturally born variant bodies that are stronger than normal bodies. Allow for the cultivators to learn body cultivation and body battle arts faster. Allows cultivators to use body battle arts without being Body Cultivators (although its less powerful than true body cultivators).
Innate Variant Souls - Naturally born variant souls that are stronger than normal souls. Allows the cultivators to learn soul arts faster.
Attribute Bodies - Bodies that are naturally inclined to certain powers or elements. Allows for cultivation of those attributes at much faster speeds, and unleashing of more powerful attacks in those attributes.
