From my understanding of the elementals in Chinese mythos, those are earth, fire, water, wood, and metal. It looks like wood and fire are covered, and I can't remember if it was the earth or water essence that was absorbed. That leaves us it earth or water, and metal to be covered. To my understanding as well, it seems like the main world is typical ancient mystical china while 2 suns is mix of vaguely apocalypse medieval Europe. With wood being to china and fire to 2 suns, I d say that in terms of cultivator settings, maybe a cyberpunk style setting for metal, high seas piracy for water if we need that, and for earth - idk.

Outside of technological knowledge I don’t see a purely cyberpunk world helping the protagonist’s cultivation since he can’t take anything back with him. Just like the twin sun world the path to power should revolve around the elements of essence to gained. Like the world for metal essence should be about using supernatural stones/metals or worshiping a monolith. Could be a supernatural equivalent of Wakanda and their vibranium and black panther, however, instead of an herb or deity granting the panther their power I could be ingesting a liquid metal like mercury. For water maybe something like Reverend Insanity and the hope gu and spirit spring aperture awakening. For earth something like a knock off infinity stone situation where everything wields magic stones, or for purely earth a subterranean civilization resolving around the crystals that give them light is a somewhat common setting.

A world where the spiritual energy doesn't give cultivators much direct or inner power, but instead lets them invoke techniques through environmental and object spirits by chanting. Chanting could have the potential to be versatile, but if you think chants could be too broad, they could be limited by: The chants being complicated or too unpredictable to modify. This could be especially true when the MC brings chants back to the main world since they might not behave the same way. The spirits of a world have to learn or grow accustomed to the chants to work efficiently, so new chants would be inefficient, and chants used commonly and broadly are powerful and cost little spiritual energy. This could be an interesting dynamic for the main world since none of the environmental spirits would be accustomed to incantations and all chants the MC uses would be extremely inefficient until he uses a chant frequently enough for the local spirits to learn it.

I think it would be interesting to have a world based on non-xianxia tropes, perhaps something akin to isekai manga or to games like D&D. The real trick would be figuring out how to make the magic systems of such worlds be translatable into something he can use. Or, a couple other ideas: Something based on the idea of getting additional spirits in his inner world besides Azure, perhaps animalistic spirits associated with particular skills or skill trees, like a chameleon spirit that allows for camouflage or bird spirit that offers early access to flight techniques. And then there's how I handle magic when writing D&D/Pathfinder-based stories, which would actually be pretty easy to translate into something he could use. "Spell channels." Essentially, you take a spell (for him, I'd guess that would translate into a particular spiritual technique, or at least be recognized by other cultivators as such even if they were spells in the world he went to) and engrave an energy pathway onto the soul (for him, that would be doing something fancy with his inner world, perhaps manifesting it in some visual or physical feature) and to cast the spell, you guide your magical energy through that pathway. The process of engraving is typically arduous and/or painful, but once the spell channel is there, pushing energy into the pathway is simple and easy.

A world of monsters and beast kin clans. Where the power system revolves around eating fallen enemies and other natural resources to get stronger. The technology level should be less even than the other worlds because of a strength focused cultural mindset.

He could probably find out how to use the primary techniques and abilities from that world in other worlds.

Kynan
>>159648661

Sounds pretty interesting, how would he bring it back to Cultivation World?

Baron of Awesome
>>159648661

It’s probably be similar to a demonic cultivation technique in the main world, but with less drawbacks. the natives would have had a long time to refine the techniques after all. With the techniques being focused on strengthening the body (vital energy) by eating the flesh of spirt beasts or natural treasures. Azure or the world tree might be able to adapt it to be more suitable for more traditional cultivation. The base concept of the techniques would be consumption of outside energy to strengthen the self.

Sin of Sloth

Not an idea but a recommendation: A Regressor’s Tale of Cultivation. Probably one the best utilization of time loops ive seen and theres a lot of things in the novel that i think you can implement into your power system. I also like that in the power system immortal realm cultivators are basically eldritch gods where if a mortal even hears their name they basically combust.

Also a little critique. I feel like the mc gets his cheat too easy with no strings attached and theres little to no explanation besides he’s a “reincarnator”. Otherwise keep up ur work love everything else.

Robin Richards

A D&D wizard style world where you store exoendable spells in a soul space. Learning the base technique would allow him to store consumable powers from any system he uses, so mana based soells/scrolls qi based talismans. I'm not sure if the Red/Blue suns will have a consumable technique but he could innovate on that

Fade

How about a sci fi world, but like people fight with spiritual powers instead of physical ones, they have spiritual energy and ghosts and aliens, basically an analogue of the world of dandadan

Fade

Or maybe just a standard murim world, one that forces the mc to refine his martial skills because its based on ki or something

Stephen Ross

How where they put small piece of there soul in weapons or items that can grow over time which can translate into artifacts that grow over time

Hangwind

Hmm. I have a lot of ideas but it is very late where I am. My immediate thought is that he has a world to develop physique and one to develop his spirit. Now he needs one to develop his soul. Why not have him hit a Monster Rancher/FFX situation where you summon monsters to fight for you and control and empower them with your soul energy? Especially if instead of summoning a traditional monster he summons Azure. Play with the dynamics a bit with Ke Yin having to be the tactical observer and Azure being the fighter.

So I joined on the promise of 2-3 chapers every day until you reach 50 ahead. There was no caveat there I recall.

Maitreya Buddha

You can take concepts of Buddhism and use the chakra system of Vajrayana Buddhism, which promote different degrees of development of the soul. There are the three lights, the white with the sound Om, the red with the sound Ah and the blue with the sound Hum or Hung. These are latently anchored in every soul as seeds and can be developed through practice into light bodies, which in turn can be united to become cosmic forces that influence and control the fabric of reality. However, this may be in a more advanced stage of the story. Btw this practice as I am describing it exists in real life. Trough this practice you will reach enlightenment and become a buddha who facilitates love and compassion for all sentient beings.

Btw I like that the protagonist is a kindhearted person who values life and isn’t a psychopathic killer! Ver refreshing in times where nearly ever story depicts their protagonist as a totally evil mass murderer

Maitreya Buddha
>>159656693

Last note on the buddha world: there are many different worlds which are described from buddha himself and there is a lot of knowledge depicting them. Just ask chat gbt, it’s a fascinating school of thought and cosmology :)) its all about dimensions, pure lands, space and time, fabrics of existence (dharmakaya, smabogakaya, nirmanakaya, non duality and so on.. not to adapt everything but to get inspired out of the typical daoist immortality stuff

Kynan
>>159653803

Yeah that will happen until we reach 50 chapters regardless if we reach $3k goal, however it's likely we'll be around the $3k, so I wanted to let everyone know if that is the case then you'll all get 2-3 chapters every day even after we're 50 chapters ahead. The patreon chapters will just keep growing and growing :) I hope that makes sense?

How about a pure magical world. Where they build mana circles around their hearts.

I propose a world of knights and warrior factions where the protagonist would improve their physical skills, combat, movement, etc., there could be 4 paths of power and all are at war: 1 soul knights, train their souls to use them as a physical body, weapon and armor, their goal is to be a God of faith. 2 perfect knights, use the lineage of other creatures to forge a battle body, meaning they look normal but if they fight they become monsters, their object is to become perfect. 3 elemental knights, replace their physical body with an elemental one and create armor, weapons, elemental mounts like roky, their objective is an element. 4 weapon knights create weapons that grow with them and replace their body creating one of metal and oil, their objective is to be and create the perfect machine

Limon1234
>>159669178

The factions would be at war for their ways to power, the soul knights discovered that the faith of intelligent beings is poisonous that is why they obtain it in animals and beasts that they breed in captivity, the perfect knights need the animals and beasts in freedom because their lineage is stronger that is why they are at war with the faction of the knights of the soul and of the weapons, the elemental knights are neutral since they do not need a special environment since the world and everything is made of elements, their faction is the one that protects mortals since without mortals there are no knights, the knights of the weapons pollute the environment with their factories that they use to obtain materials and fuels, which causes mutations in animals and beasts mostly evil that is why they are at war with the perfect knights and the knights of the soul

Limon1234
>>159669178

Knights would have their own problems just like cultivators, perfect knights would have to fight their instincts since the bloodlines of beasts and animals are "transplanted" for example if they fight with someone stronger than him he would have to fight not to give up, if they see something that would benefit them they would have to fight not to eat that and if they see a man or woman stronger than them they would have to fight not to have children, elemental knights would have to try not to explode their body and die, soul knights would have to maintain their humanity over their divine personality otherwise their humanity dies only one God would remain, that is, not them, knights of arms have to maintain their feelings, for example if they lose their feelings they would no longer try to be stronger they would only look for a place to hide and sleep since they are only guided by logic since for knights of arms only to stay awake they need fuel

Limon1234
>>159669178

Beasts are animals that are stronger than others and have 3 ways to become stronger 1 spiritual beasts, they improve their souls and use spiritual energy, that is, the energy of the soul 2 perfect beasts try to become perfect by modifying themselves, for example a wolf can have poisonous hair, another have a lot of strength and another a giant brain 3 elemental beasts are made with rocky ....... the perfect knights also improve their souls by improving their bodies and containing their instincts and their souls obtain the characteristics of their lineage, for example information processing speed, stealth, edc they are also able to control weaker beasts to form armies, the elemental knights improve their affinity with their element

Nyye

What about a world caught between "Divines" and "Demons" and they either grow through Faith or the consumption of Souls. Where the only distinction between good and evil is the path to power taken and not morality. The people would maybe have domains of power, you know, like thematic ideals they have to follow. Like a "demon of fear" HAS to terrify people before consumption or they gain basically nothing, or if you make a "divine of charity" act greedy it actually hurts them, so they all have to embody whatever concept they are tied to.

An Idea is a World that runs off of power system similar to the systems found in the book Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, Specifically the City of Elantris. Power is basically gained through formations. The City Elantris has a formation surrounding it and if you make the lines correctly you can call upon it power to do many things. The original story has a massive earthquake happen that changed the formation and until everyone realized that they had to include the ravine the the earthquake created they cannot call upon the power of the city, furthermore the power of the city harmed them. The World could be one that each city has a similar formation and they fight over the areas of land, which then give them more power if its taken care of properly. Kiran could create something similar in his MiniVerse and use his plants to power it.

What about a world that uses song magic, with the different types of music being the different cultures.

I have always loved training resistances and body tempering. So a new world that can combine those would be awesome. Usually body tempering happens in a lower side of cultivation and then gets naturally uplifted when they break through.

R. Maxwell Steele
>>160347604

So maybe he finds visits a world of body tempering where the beings have various paths to follow. Earth tempering that slowly turns their bodies stone/metallic. But their magic weakens and as a race dependent on magic it shortens their lifespan. Energy tempering that slowly turns their body ethereal mimicking an energy form fire/plasma/electricity/light etc. But their body weakens (burns too bright) so they don't live long. Soul Tempering that increases lifespan but leaves the body weak. Leading to a very weak but honored ruling class that has very little power but lots of wisdom. Which would contrast with the power structures already in play on other worlds (where strong have all the advantages and weak have none, here the weak have longer lives and this aren't relegated to inconsequential in society).

R. Maxwell Steele
>>160347604

The MC would figure out that his tri spiritual method is compatible with all the techniques but essentially requires resistance training in each environment. Or perhaps the right balance is found in trapping the energy in various combinations in physical locations depending on their structure, ie. Earth/metal reinforcing his bones 80% with 20% energy reinforcement. And his soft tissue 20/80. All the while tempering his soul to keep the other processes from burning away his lifespan.
