Cultivation System of the Ancient

-Mathematical Model

  (a^b) - Cultivation Standard where;

  a = Energy Grade

  b = Level

-Energy Grades (Measured by a Factor of 10)

Energy Grades are dependent on the Layer the current civilization is stationed within. Despite Humanity living in the bottommost Layer, their unique origin enables them to enjoy Royal Grade Energy at all times, with the 'Wheel of Chakra' helping them to convert this into Imperial Grade and the Four Artifacts further allowing them to transform into Monarch Grade. 

The transition from one Energy Level to another is termed Nirvana, wherein a living being must drain themselves of the current Energy and at the same time absorb the energy of the Higher Grade.

10 = Mortal

100 = Royal

1000 = Imperial

10,000 = Monarch

100,000 = Saint

1,000,000 = God

For example, 10^10 is Level 10 Mortal

(Energy here refers to any and all types of energy not particularly Vital Energy. The Level refers to the exact thing Humanity uses. The Humans on the Continent are already 100 times more powerful than those on the Planet due to them being born in the Royal Grade Energy environment whereas the humans on the planet are born in the Mortal Grade Energy environment.)
