Symbol Master

Symbol Ancestor

Ancestral Symbol

Seal Masters (符师) were practitioners who utilize a different method of exerting Yuan Power. This method needed Mental Energy to propel Yuan Power. A Symbol Master could condense Yuan Power from Heaven and Earth into special Mystical Symbols. One not only needed a certain level of strength in the physical body as support but it also placed a heavy and strict demand on one’s mental capacity. In order to become a 1st Seal Symbol Master one is required to be at least Earthly Yuan Early Stage Therefore, Symbol Master was considered a scarce vocation. A 2nd Seal Symbol Master would be lavishly welcomed by any major faction in Yan City. Symbol Masters are split by Seals and there were a total of 5 Seals: 1st Seal being the lowest, while 5th Seal being the highest.

Becoming a Symbol Master is not only about inscribing Mystical Symbols on objects. A Symbol Master can easily shake mountains and move rivers.

Only when one was able to condense his Mental Energy into a Destiny Symbol, could he be called a true Symbol Master.

Symbol Power Cultivation Stages

Rank	Realm	Stage	Description	Realm Equivalent
1	Four Seals Symbol Master (四印符师) Purple Palace/Niwan Palace(泥丸宫)	One Seal	Divided into one to four seals. The first seal corresponds to the Earthly Yuan to Heavenly Yuan stages, while the second to fourth seals correspond to the Yuan Dan stage. When mental energy is cultivated successfully, the Purple Palace/Niwan Palace (泥丸宫) opens, and the Destiny Symbol seal is condensed. After the symbol seal is condensed, mental energy becomes more solid, and mental energy control increases significantly. Subsequently, more symbol seals are continuously refined and split. Powerful Symbol Masters can condense mental energy into form. Generally, the minimum requirement for a first seal Symbol Master is to reach the Earthly Yuan stage. Mental power is not as violent and majestic as Yuan power, but beneath its seemingly peaceful surface lies the destructive power capable of completely destroying a person’s soul. (下符/中符/上符/??)	Earthly Yuan
				Heavenly Yuan
		Two Seals		Yuan Dan
		Three Seals
		Four Seals
5	Soul Symbol Master / Spiritual Symbol Master (灵符师)	Low	Divided into low, middle, and high levels, corresponding to the three stages of Creation. The fifth symbol seal is condensed, and the Destiny Symbol seal possesses spirituality. It can forge spiritual treasures and condense the fire of the mind. With a single thought, mountains can be overturned. In combat, a single thought can forcibly lift a mountain. The use of mental energy is relatively superficial.	Form Creation
		Middle		Qi Creation
		High		Manifestation
6	Heavenly Symbol Master (天符师)	Initial	Divided into initial, one to nine seals, corresponding to the initial Nirvana stage, and the one to nine Yuan Nirvana stages. In the Niwan Palace, chaos is broken, creating a small world that resonates with the external world, allowing the user to manipulate the power of heaven and earth. A spiritual body shadow is condensed, and the use of mental energy becomes proficient. Each additional seal requires passing the wind and thunder tribulation, equivalent to the Nirvana tribulation of each Nirvana stage. With each advancement, the small world in the Niwan Palace becomes more perfect. Upon reaching the nine-seal stage, the small world undergoes a tremendous transformation, allowing the user to shake the heavens and earth with a single gesture.	Initial Nirvana
		One Seal		One Yuan Nirvana
		Two Seals		Two Yuan Nirvana
		Three Seals		Three Yuan Nirvana
		Four Seals		Four Yuan Nirvana
		Five Seals		Five Yuan Nirvana
		Six Seals		Six Yuan Nirvana
		Seven Seals		Seven Yuan Nirvana
		Eight Seals		Eight Yuan Nirvana
		Nine Seals		Nine Yuan Nirvana
7	Divine Symbol Master / Immortal Symbol Master (仙符师)	Initial	Divided into Initial and Advance Divine Symbol Masters, corresponding to the Life and Death Profound stages. A spiritual entity is condensed, with mental energy strong enough to subtly distort space. Mental energy can interfere with matter, directly controlling beasts or using the interfered matter to form attacks. The spiritual entity is somewhat similar to the Yuan Shen but appears more ethereal and mysterious.	Profound Life
		Advance		Profound Death
8	Symbol Grandmaster / Symbol Ancestor (符宗)	Initial	Divided into Initial and Advance Symbol Grandmasters, corresponding to the Samsara stages. This is a watershed stage in the cultivation of mental energy. Once entered, mental energy becomes substantial, and its power is fully unleashed. Mental energy merges with heaven and earth, allowing for micro-perception. Before reaching the Symbol Grandmaster stage, the strength of mental energy might seem slightly weaker compared to the majestic Yuan power. However, once at the Symbol Grandmaster level, a initial Symbol Grandmaster’s power surpasses that of an initial Samsara stage practitioner. Upon reaching the advance Symbol Grandmaster level, their strength firmly surpasses that of initial Reincarnation stage practitioners, peaking at the level of those who have passed the second Reincarnation tribulation.	Samsara
		Advance		2nd Calamity Reincarnation
9	Divine Palace Master (神宫境)		In the spiritual world, a Divine Palace is condensed, equivalent to the peak of the third Reincarnation tribulation. Condensing the Divine Palace involves transforming the Niwan Palace into the Divine Palace. The key to this breakthrough lies in two points: first, breaking and then establishing the Niwan Palace, a highly dangerous process to condense the Divine Palace; second, utilizing the Zenith Power, which is necessary to replace the Niwan Palace with the Divine Palace, giving it life and self-generating evolution. Mental energy merges with the light of chaos, undergoing transformation, presenting a faint chaotic light. The Divine Palace shines with divine light, allowing for instantaneous movement across the entire plane, ignoring distance.	3rd Calamity Reincarnation

Symbol Grandmaster Level

This was a watershed level for the Symbol Masters. There were many people in this world who trained their Mental Energy. Similarly, there were many people who trained both their Mental Energy and Yuan Power simultaneously. However, there were very few practitioners whose Mental Energy cultivation could reach the Symbol Grandmaster level.

Mental Energy was undoubtedly even more ethereal compared to Yuan Power. Therefore, trying to reach the level of Symbol Grandmaster was evidently no easy task. Before reaching the Symbol Grandmaster level, the strength of one’s Mental Energy might be a little weaker compared to the powerful and majestic Yuan Power. However, upon stepping into this level, the true might of Mental Energy would be slowly revealed.
