The Exceed System

There are three types of cultivation path in this world:

1. Essence Cultivation: Refining spiritual essences (known as qi, mana, prana and many other names in various culture) from the world and integrating it into their body. This cultivation system is the most common cultivation path practiced by the cultivators in this world as their main cultivation path or as sub-path for the double path cultivators.

2. Body / Physique Cultivation: Refining special physique or body type which raises their physical strength, vitality and endurance long with various other benefits depending on their special physique or body type. This cultivation path is not commonly practiced by the cultivators in this world as this cultivation path requires tremendous resources along with immense pain that suffered by its practitioner which comes from the process of refining their body. But the pay off is quite tempting as the Special Physique Cultivators has greater raw power than the Essence Cultivators in the same realm and cultivation stage and they also get additional benefits depending on their special body or physique type.

3. Soul Cultivation: The hardest and most profound cultivation path that is very rarely practiced by cultivators in this world. Usually only special race or people with great spiritual aptitude who practiced this cultivation path. Even though they are very powerful to the point that they can control the enemy with the same level of cultivation stage in their palm of the hands, the offset is that the Soul Cultivator's progress is very arduous and extremely slow compared to their peers in other cultivation paths.

Most people in this world would only practice a single type of cultivation path as they have limited time and resources. Only a few individuals with heaven - defying talents and tremendous resources or great backing would have a chance to practice two types of cultivation paths to a great accomplishment. And ultimately, except for the Legendary Powerful Being that is only mentioned in the myths and legends, there is no other real proven records of people who practice all three types of cultivation path to great accomplishments in this world's history.
