Finally using the Golden Seed as he should. Too bad it's a bit too late for Ai to benefit from it, since she's now an ice statue.

Advance into the next stage?
So we're still late houtian or wah?
He's probably talking to his 3v3 partner and advancing to the next stage should mean the next phase of the tournament.
I hope we get the chance to help our cousins like this
Surely revealing this ability to our partner wont come back to bite our *** in the future?
If you mean the LH equivalent of cultivators... Who knows? So far the only way to compare is to use Yue Fang as a reference, but this doesn't help much, the guy isn't someone who started out as a normal mortal after all.
However, if you're referring to actual LH... Then I'm confident that no, MC has already surpassed LH, even PH I'd say. I think there's no doubt that MC is in the top 10 level. Of course, this alone doesn't put him above the PHs, after all he's not in the top 1 yet, there are still PHs stronger than him. What makes me say that he has already surpassed the PHs, is the fact that he is practically only using brute power and instinct to overcome everyone (according to BH himself), since he has no real training and has little experience compared to his peers.

I meant we might be lh buh so freaking strong we( com/players) think we're actually ph
MC and other cultivators have their own stages separate from MAs. MC is at the 1st one and their power is equivalent to a PH. Maybe a extremely weak early xiantian depending on how strong you believe DES are.I meant we might be lh buh so freaking strong we( com/players) think we're actually ph
So the next stage should be qi condensation? Equivalent to xiantian right?
That's poor, especially if we're not strong compared to other qi condensation cultivators
Again there is no LH or PH stage. There is only one big qi condensation stage (for the entire Houtian power level) since cultivation is so big . You can think of the Mortal realm as the equivalent of the Houtian realm with all the stages (like qi condensation, qi sea etc...). being the Houtian stages. Immortal realm as the X equivalent and God realm as S
Also Tang Bo was one of the 3 v 3 options and he is the strongest guy in the sect since Yang Gan dissapereance so I doubt we are in the lower top 10 power wise considering that if it wasn't a one vote difference it would have been Tang Bo (top 1), Muchen (top 5) and one other guy

I never said there was. That's why I used the term "equivalent". Interpreting the Houtian as a road, we can say that an EH is someone at the beginning of the road and a PH someone at the end. So saying something like "the LH/PH equivalent of cultivators" is intuitive and understandable.
On the contrary, say to assume that "Mortal realm as the equivalent of the Houtian realm with all the stages (like qi condensation, qi sea etc...). being the Houtian stages. Immortal realm as the Xiantian equivalent and God realm as Shangtian", although also "correct", when comparing the whole, is more likely to cause confusion, as well as being somewhat useless, since the maximum expectation for where the MC will reach by the end of the game is Nascent Soul.
Isn’t it also kinda wrong? Since NS is after S and is still mortal real like early mortal realm too right? Unless I am remembering an old system he changed recently.
how to unlock these options btw, i had the option to talk with ai and lin lin asked me to search for guo (which i agree), but i can't proceed any further than that
You said "who knows" to the LH thing when we know Qi sea is the next power up. Saying something is the LH/PH equivalent of cultivators is not only not intuitive anyways but also useless. (If you are referring to the specific stages and not as a whole like I did) PH to what? Qi condensation? because that isn't a thing we can track. It's better if you think that Qi Condensation as one big stage because there won't be a power up to the PH stage equivalent before we get to Qi Sea like how mc went from LH to PH (in power) without any fanfare or LSD trip

I think you might be missing the point of what I said. When I used terms like "LH/PH equivalent," I wasn't implying that these are formal stages within the cultivation system. I was clearly using them as comparative tools, intuitive markers, to help contextualize the MC's power level relative to Martial Artists, especially since the game blends cultivation and martial arts concepts in a way that doesn't always provide one-to-one translations.
You’re right that Qi Condensation is likely one large stage, and that the next proper advancement is Qi Sea. But that actually supports my use of equivalencies. Since there’s no clear-cut sub-stage labeling during Qi Condensation, referring to someone as being at the "PH equivalent" helps communicate that their current power is comparable to a Peak Houtian Martial Artist.
Lastly, the fact that the MC grew in strength "without fanfare" is exactly why the comparison is helpful. And here, "Like how mc went from LH to PH (in power) without any fanfare or LSD trip", you try to be ironic or whatever, but you only end up reinforcing my point: the MC progressed in power (in a way comparable to LH → PH), but without a canonical stage transition in the cultivation system. The game didn't give us a cut-and-dry moment of advancement, so readers are left trying to track his progression via context — like how strong he is compared to PH-level fighters. That’s not confusion; that’s interpretation based on available evidence.
