@Bluehammer12 Cultivation pretty much based on the idea that everything in this world contains Qi or some form of life energy and by training and nurturing it, Qi can enhance ur body, make u immune to feeling cold or heat, slow down aging etc. The training is defined as just cultivation and there are also many different forms like musical, martial, demonic, asceticism and such. Cultivation level is aged by different stages and the end goal is to become an immortal “master” and eventually shed the worst parts of humanity to “ascend”, usually to a Heavenly Realm of some sorts.
Qi is like chakra in a lot of ways but it can also be externally manifested into a sword and the cultivator can control the sword in a manner similar to telekinesis and fly on it. The definition of cultivation and manner of cultivating differs a lot from novel to novel since cultivation is pretty open to interpretation and authors use the concept with healthy doses of artistic integrity in their universes. Really there’s no fixed definition of cultivation and if you want to get a better idea, there are tons of stories and webnovels that explore the idea in various ways.
I hope this helps!
