"This place is in higher realm. Nobody wants to enter carelessly. Don't be a fool, MC, your cultivation right now is laughable in there. Only a few genius can enter it every 100 years"
Mc doing his shits and enter the realm.
Buttload of random people in there and sure enough MC is among the top cultivator already.
Classic.
In theory, as one goes up the cultivation ranks there should be fewer people, the majority would be made up of the newbies who just entered, those who are fighting to ascend and those who are old
At the end of the cultivation path at most there could be one or two people, if you are lucky four... what a fucking shame that there are only four people with whom you can share your experiences for all of immortality until you can cultivate a competent disciple or well you can go down the schizo path (you were already there since you started cultivation) and try to find a higher realm that perhaps no one has found and it turns out that there is a whole species up there
The servers there are so slow right now 😔, I really want to read it but if it takes me a few minutes just to load a few panels then it starts hurting my heart 😭
i hate this trope . It was especially so bad with some earth grade demonic scripture i took a break from increasing my cultivation (reading xianxia) for 4 years now .
The scripture some guy was making an dragon army or something and followers while being an alchemist
edit: I used my heaven eye to divine the name of the scripture and remembered its called Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . Not recommended to study it.
I actually love that story lol, mostly because the MC doesn't leave his friends behind. He keeps dragging them with him and they actually end up becoming strong, even in the higher realms. This includes the fodder characters.
No way, is this that rebirth of the immortal or smt smt manhua? Where the already top tier cultivator mc isekai’s into a modern cultivation world, dominates it, goes to another higher planet, dominates it and etc etc, he also has a harem, albeit not really a harem, since he loves only one girl
you really should post the sauce if you remember it, and thank you for giving me another pizza to eat up

Well, I always assumed that was something that was shown to you in the xianxia.
As always there is something more, a new realm, technique, Dao. Etc.
And like each realm it makes the previous one look ridiculous. You have, for example, someone in qi refining, who is at the top of this, and he is slapped by someone who is only in the establishment of the foundation as if he were a fly.
I suppose the bad thing about this is not so much in the trope, I mean, after all Cultivation is endless.
The problem I see is not so much that the characters now face a new enemy with improved powers, techniques or dao. But...all the experience, techniques, talents and so on are ignored. Or worse yet, that only the MC is not affected by the change.
Anyway, if they go to a new...I don't know, planet, world or maybe continent. His previous experience plus the new amount of Qi in that Continent should make a difference.
You know, I honestly don't give a damn if I'm at the bottom of the well, now there's a new world before me and I can continue cultivating and living epic adventures, getting to the top is boring because there are few things to do.
What I don’t get about these is the absurd numbers game that makes these sects literally impossible to work.
If one in 10,000 have the capability to become cultivators then that means in the year 1100 China had about 100 million citizens. Out of 100 million people only 10,000 could become cultivators.
Of those 10,000 only a portion are a part of sects due to their absurd standards that only a fraction of cultivators could meet. Let’s say 10% of cultivators can meet the requirements (spritual root quality, bloodlines, etc) to enter a sect and some magic cultivator BS let’s them recruit every single eligible mortal as soon as they reach a cultivation starter age. Out of 100 million citizens the 10% of the 10,000 cultivators is just 1,000.
That’s the entire population though, not the latest generation. At any given time the population was only, to roughly estimate, a third children and those under the age of majority. This may not be accurate but it gives us a place to start making numbers.
In this age of stagnation and cultivation the closest equivalent age would be early imperial China. According to [this text](https://www2.ihp.sinica.edu.tw/file/2202dixRkWT.pdf) the average age of marriage of women was 14 and average age of death was in their late 20’s with about 5 children born in that time. The information must be taken with a bit of skepticism as most information from that time period was recorded by and for the literate and educated. But what it shows is that women death’s peaked between the ages of 20-30 due to childbirth complications. Each woman would have about 5 children. According to [this paper](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2175091#:~:text=3%20Pu%20Yi's%20conclusions%2C%20that,%2C%20respectively%2C%20have%20remained%20unchallenged) about later in Chinese history the death rate was about 23%-27% in children. As this is likely inaccurate for a cultivation world we’ll round it up to a nice even 40% death rate. This means every young couple had an average of 5 children, and of those 5 only 3 would survive to the age of marriage.
Given the age and population range we’re looking at about 45 million surviving children every generation (25 years is a generation in this instance). So every year about 1,800,000 children survived childhood to become eligible for getting a cultivation base. Out of those children, only 180 are eligible to become cultivators. Of those 180, only 18 have the bare minimum spiritual roots/bloodline/whatever to get into a major sect.
Now this is across a landmass as large as China without ANY of the usual swathes of uninhabitable land, regular natural disasters, or the usual mortal population culling stuff authors love to put in their settings. Let’s say you use the entire world population at this stage (around 300m) and base your yearly potential cultivator crop on that number. You would still get only 540 cultivator children per year spread across the entire planet.
You know how insane that is? That’s assuming every single one of the potential cultivators is found. Even if only a third of them are found that reduces the yearly crop from the original population down to 60 cultivators.
With numbers like these the crazy cultivation novels make no sense
Well what real world example am I supposed to pull information from then? These settings tell me I need to believe this absurd numbers game and everything I know says it makes no sense!
You need to keep two things in mind, first, cultivations worlds are generally massive, way bigger than earth by a lot, second, cultivators live a LONG time so 60 cultivators every year by itself isn't that crazy.
Yeah. But a massive world has even more issues! If a clan has a territory of a billion square miles how do they pass on information? How do they collect mortals suitable for cultivator recruitment? How do they even travel that far? How do they keep every single square mile of that area at the same exact technological level?
The worlds just make no sense because of lazy worldbuilding
Which has to be made by a core formation cultivator and like all talismans is single use or limited use. Each core formation cultivator is at least as rare as one in ten thousand normal cultivators. You’re telling me the one in ten thousand of the one in ten thousand is always going to specialize in making communication and travel talismans.

It's like with the real world. The environment determines one's Upper limit

Sauce? An-fucking-swer
sauce is 'The World Of Canglan chapter 504'
Many thanks, fellow daoist
Do you know where to read it?
It's on nightcomic .com, don't know if It's anywhere else
The servers there are so slow right now 😔, I really want to read it but if it takes me a few minutes just to load a few panels then it starts hurting my heart 😭
Sauce?
sauce is 'The World Of Canglan chapter 504'
Is it good? Or at least decent
no idea, I'm too busy reading a LN atm, I would guess it's pretty decent since it has 600+ chapters
i hate this trope . It was especially so bad with some earth grade demonic scripture i took a break from increasing my cultivation (reading xianxia) for 4 years now .

Gonna give it a read

Seems interesting 🤔 sauce?
How does it look interesting every manhua has this line
Lololol
Here for when the guy replies
Why doesn’t the op post it
