Chapter 0: Glossary
In the world of 'Rise of The Anti-God', cultivation is a journey where one pursues strength or ethereal strength by following the 'Ethereal Way' to become more powerful.
The ethereal core is situated at the center of the chest just below the heart. It holds and helps channel ethereal energy throughout the body.
There are 47 ethereal core points spread out in the body from head to toe. When someone starts their cultivation journey, their ethereal core points absorb ethereal energy from the air and this energy is collected together to form an ethereal core which converts the raw ethereal energy into a different form of ethereal energy that they can manipulate. The ethereal core then serves the purpose of helping to channel ethereal strength throughout the body.
Afterwards as they cultivate, the ethereal core points absorb the ethereal energy from the air and feeds it to their ethereal core where it is converted and assimilated to increase their cultivation.
