Chen Yu whistled, his mind racing with possibilities. "So, at the final stage, I'll basically be a walking natural disaster. That's... insane."

[Correct. However, reaching this level requires not only intense training but a deep understanding of how the elements interact with the world around you. Only by achieving perfect balance can you unlock the full potential of the Primal Heavenly Body. Those who fail to grasp this balance will never reach Sovereignty.]

Chen Yu leaned back, his head spinning with the sheer scope of what lay ahead. "So, if I play my cards right, I'll end up as some kind of elemental god by the end of this. But if I mess up... well, let's just say I don't want to know how bad things could get."

The system gave no response, leaving Chen Yu to sit in silence for a moment. He rubbed his temples, trying to absorb the information. This technique was more powerful—and dangerous—than anything he had imagined. But one thing was clear: it was his path now, and he wasn't about to back down.

With a smirk, he pushed himself to his feet. "Well, nothing worth having ever came easy, right? Let's see what kind of mess I can make next."

"Alright, System," he said, a grin spreading across his face. "What's next? How do I keep progressing in this world?"

[To advance further, you must understand the cultivation realms of the Qi Xuan world. Would you like an explanation of these realms?]

"Yes, please," Chen Yu replied. "Lay it on me."

[Cultivation Realms of Qi Xuan:

Qi Condensation Stage: The foundational stage where a cultivator learns to absorb and refine Qi into their dantian, solidifying their spiritual base. This stage is divided into nine levels, with each level representing a deeper understanding and mastery of Qi manipulation.

Foundation Establishment Stage: At this stage, cultivators begin to solidify their spiritual foundation, allowing them to store more Qi and perform more complex techniques. The body undergoes significant strengthening, and spiritual energy becomes more potent.

Core Formation Stage: Cultivators form a core within their dantian, greatly enhancing their spiritual energy reserves and power. This stage is marked by the ability to perform powerful techniques and a deeper connection to the natural elements.

Nascent Soul Stage: The cultivator's spirit begins to develop a consciousness of its own, often referred to as the Nascent Soul. This stage allows for immense spiritual power and the ability to manipulate Qi and elements with great precision and force.

Soul Formation Stage: The cultivator's soul fully integrates with their physical body, granting abilities that transcend ordinary cultivation methods. At this stage, the cultivator can begin to comprehend laws of nature and control their surroundings.

Immortal Ascension Or Ascended Stage: The final known stage where a cultivator transcends mortal limitations, gaining near-immortality. Few reach this stage, and those who do are often regarded as living legends.]

Chen Yu listened intently, nodding along. "Okay, so I'm at the very beginning. Qi Condensation Stage, huh? I've got a long way to go."

[Affirmative. As you progress through these stages, your control over the Heavenly Body Technique will increase, allowing you to unlock its full potential.]

Chen Yu grinned, feeling a surge of determination. "Well, I guess it's time to get to work, then. I've got a lot of catching up to do."

He stood up, stretching his newly energized limbs. Even though he was still tired from his earlier near-deviation, he felt a new sense of purpose. He had lucked into a powerful cultivation method, and now he had a clear path forward. But he knew better than to get complacent.

"Alright, first things first," he muttered to himself, looking around the forest. "I need to find food, water, and a safe place to practice. Then, I can start figuring out how to progress in this Heavenly Body Technique without blowing myself up."

He set off again, this time with a renewed sense of confidence. He had a plan, he had a goal, and he had the determination to see it through. As he walked, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Maybe this world isn't so bad after all," he thought. "Sure, it's dangerous and full of unknowns, but I've got a system, a powerful cultivation method, and a fresh start. What more could I ask for?"
