Trivia


 * Since not all cultivators have the same constitution nor do they cultivate the same type of energy, at the same layer they are not necesarily equially strong. For example, for someone who cultivates the longevity-type primary energy, at the third layer would be able to leave a 2,54 cm deep fist mark on the surface of a large tree that would require two people to wrap around [1].
