@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!

@Raydnt the company murdered it, no second season ever and if there is one we probably won't get the same artist.

a bit nervous if the mc is this op without any real training since it means physical problems thrown her way will be easy to handle until she meets someone powerful it seems. the “action” tag may fall flat if it’s just mc overpowering everyone and never losing or being in difficult situations.

Yeah fuck him up. It seems like getting trained by those guards was really helpful to her, even though she’s a beginner all her moves are very tightly controlled

SeaDragonswan gave a good summary. But if you want another point of view.. you can think of cultivation as the cultural equivalent to Mana/magic. But more body strengthening based. Similar ideas as there is energy in the universe that can be harnessed to strengthen oneself, except instead of using the energy to cast spells, the energy can be absorbed and channeled through the body/nerve system to reform and strengthen one's physique without excessive muscles. In relation this could lengthen one's life, strengthen bones, improve eyesight, ect. There's also a leveling system for cultivation and in this world even plants, animals, and weapons are capable of absorbing the universe's energy to get stronger (kinda like magical plants with magical properties growing in a mana rich area). And once you absorb enough energy within your body/gain mastery of energy channelling, it is possible to manipulate that energy within the body back out in the form of energy balls or whatever (that's why it's also possible to neutralize the atks)

There are various different types of cultivation similar to various types of mages (eg water, fire, lightning) possible, and different sects can be thought of as different types of mages. Eg there are sects who focus only on hand to hand combat and their cultivation are all based on absorbing energy to strengthen their arms. And other sects who focus on strengthen their swords by helping channel energy to their swords to have like energy fly out with every sword cut/swipe or whatever. And one sect can be thought of as a guild where everyone shares ideas and like manuals of the forefathers to help advance the next generations cultivation. And usually the sects all have like secret techniques and that's why there's problems with sect takeovers and people trying to steal the manuals/guides of the techniques.

I think it's a genre in of itself like how magic is. Because there's so much possibility with the direction. And they can just come up with different types of sects and powers and techniques all based on the idea of getting stronger.

Male leads are often dumb strong at first and it’s not a problem. I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing her put some people back in their place, since her being a little miss make her opponents’ defeat that much sweeter.
Of course a tough fight will come her way. She is a newbie at this. A talented one though. I’d just... like to enjoy the girl being the big shot, when it comes to fighting, for a bit longer, please, thank you.

Huh, I kind of miss his serious and intimidating gaze. He having a cute and submissive image is a bit disheartening.
As for the MC just becoming a lethal weapon with minimal training so quickly is also a bit...disheartening to see. Oh well.
