    [x][Cultivation] Origin of Heaven and Earth. All things are birthed by the heavens and cultivators can tread the Dao of the heavens. Divine law itself becomes their inspiration. However, there is only one law that belongs to the heavens alone, Life. While other Dao merely seeks to defy the Heaven's Will, for they still acknowledge heaven's way is the way of nature, the Origin of Heaven and Earth seeks to supplant the Heavens itself. To walk this path is to face tribulation and laugh. The Origin of Heaven and Earth grants unparalleled and nearly infinite Qi and Vitality. At lower levels, the Qi of Origin can heal any wounds and even fight against curses descending from the Heavens. At higher levels, the cultivator is even able to create entire slave races or natural treasures that does not exist and cannot exist due to rejection by Heaven's Will. The cultivation method requires consuming the blood of various races and beasts.

    [X][Cultivation] Echoes of the Past: History never repeats itself, but it rhymes. The user grows more attuned to the flow of time, becoming aware of what has come before and must come again. At low levels, the cultivator becomes capable of psychometry, perfect recall and review, and personal time reversion on a very short scale, on the order of fractions of a second. At high levels, a cultivator may reopen old wounds permanently, rendering them incapable of healing by any means, reshape structures and geography to their pleasure, mixing and matching as they choose, or rewind time for larger groups or for much longer spans, immensely advantaging themselves and their allies. Cultivation of this method requires stealing time from other sources, with older or more potent sources granting more temporal ability.
    [X][Cultivation] Astral Body Forging Method: A gentle body forging method where the practitioner lets the Astral Qi forge their bodies peacefully and without much hassle. Must be practiced at night but not necessarily under the night. Has compatibility with most cultivation methods.

Tbh, I reckon it's better to be specialized in the early stages of the game. We can make up for weaknesses later (e.g. by cultivating Yin in addition to Yang), but the power boost should make up for the weaknesses right now.

It's just that my mental image of the MC atm doesn't really fit this:


He's way too calm and collected, so the presentation put me off.

I mean, there are plenty of buff, manly characters who aren't as bombastic as Armstrong. I did also make joking comparisons to Kenshiro, after all.
 
Just another cultivation technique for fun.
Heavenly Pot Forging: a technique invented by the Golden Stomach sect that only accepts people with the Nullifying Cauldron Stomach trait, this cultivation path focuses on honing the body through pills and enhancing the already potent abilities of the Nullifying Cauldron Stomach and is most remarked by its Heavenly Pill Regurgitation technique, wherin its cultivators learn to regurgitate the pills their stomachs create from raw materials, each of higher level than one made in a lesser pot.
So this seems interesting. What's the lead vote looking like?
This.

Is the Yang Manual weak for a earth tier cultivation manual? As it seems to have a large draw back but isn't really as strong as the other methods people have been posting.

I think you're referring to the Perfect Yang Body, since I didn't write in any explicit weakness to the Nine Yang Manual.

an option the QM already said was good as opposed to the Nine Yang which he said was so weak he'd have to buff it that would be great.

Technically, that's not what he said. What he said was:

I'll give it a boost if it wins but is too weak for the rank.

Emphasis mine. In other words, rather than confirming that it needed to be buffed, he just explained that a winning option that was too weak would be buffed, just like a winning option that was too overpowered would be nerfed. Like yours. Looking at it that way, it's actually more useful if the winning option is buffed or not nerfed, and the more powerful stuff ends up in the store for later purchase rather than getting weakened. Not useful enough to matter, since we can just suggest other stuff to put in the store anyway, but there you go.

Honestly, Yang Book is the most boring option to me. In a world where people can develop all kinds of crazy super powers, Yang Book give people the power of...a really strong body. Thats really bland to me. Now I'm not saying that a super human body is a boring power itself. After all, All Might in My Hero Academia makes it look really awesome. In xiannia however, it's just kind of underwhelming and limited. Where as turning ourself into a human shaped universe not only sounds cool, but also sounds like it could open up some really interesting power opportunities.

Most of the time, all the fancy descriptions and name don't really amount to much, because it all just devolves into a lot of Dragon Ball Z nonsense anyway. The fluff matters far less in making a fight and a fighting style interesting than how many rays of sunlight are shining out of your ass while you fire sun lasers at someone or whatever. Whether it ends up boring or interesting depends mostly on the QM.

Besides, if you start doing the esoteric stuff out the gate, there's nothing to go up to except for just adding more rays of anal sunshine, which is why so many xianxia authors resort to ever-increasing escalation in the first place; because they blew their load with stuff that was actually interesting early on and have to create the illusion that things are any different by throwing a bunch of extra zeros at the end of the power levels.

Eh I'll switch since my ideas didn't gain any traction. Not really fond of this idea but Yang winning sounds terrible. Considering it wouldn't have the Yang Trait to back it up at this point.
 
Voting is officially closed!

I'll insert the final tally once I have a chance to clear everything up. I also assume you guys want complimentary traits, cultivation and technique so I'll sort that out if it ends up all over the place.
 
lol. Update came out as I was really thinking I should finish what I was reading and sleep last night, and it closed about when I started going through all my alerts. Oh well. Didn't have any chance of posting a possibility in time for the vote, but might as well now for the shop. And I'm happy enough that it seems that the 'Manliest Man to ever Man' plan didn't win. Really didn't like that...

Would this have been possible @Kolarthecool ?

[][Trait] Spirit Beast Inheritance: One of your ancestors was a Spirit Beast capable of taking human form. Its blood has awakened within you, granting certain abilities and traits.
-[][Beast] Kitsune of FIre
--Those who have this heritage awaken in them can see the truth of the world around them, and the truth of a person as it shines out from their soul. It increases trickster tendencies in some cases, but also the likelihood of kindness being shown to those who have positive Karma, though those with negative Karma tend to find the pranks are harsher, or worse. Increases in dexterity and perception are universal, with stronger Cultivators usually gaining a limited ability to shapeshift. Finally their abilities with illusions see significant increases, for if one knows and sees the truth as easily as they do, then one is also intimately familiar with the best ways for a lie to be believed and unbroken.

Not certain on this as it probably could do with a bit of fine tuning...

So, if I'm not wrong (using the vote tally rather than manually counting them all). The winning vote is the Resolute Soul trait, the Lesser Universal Body cultivation, and the One Palm Advances, A Hundred Strike technique.

Everything else will be added to the shop menu in a bit.

Would this have been possible @Kolarthecool ?

Yeah, it's a good fit. An increase in flexibility and some enhanced senses. The ability to somewhat sense the Karmic Value of others to tell if they are generally good or bad. Minor shapeshifting, illusions and fire manipulation/affinity.
 
[X][Trait] Nullifying Cauldron Stomach: Your stomach is comparable to Pill Cauldron, it is able to nullify and control a mix of volatile energies within it.

Multiple pills at once is crazy useful and super adaptable to a variety of tactics. This is MUCH better than anything else on offer and gives us a HUGE advantage.

[X][Cultivation] Nine Dragons Rampage.

Reptilian spirit blood is probably not THAT hard to get and the cultivation requirement offers a chance to explain why we had some kind of crazy reversal in fortune.

[X][Technique] One Palm Advances, A Hundred Strike. Offense. Palms.

A nice option. By and large I think we're better off relying on our own body as opposed to various armor or weapons that will need to be constantly replaced to remain effective.
 
Awww. My Breaker vote didn't win. Too bad. Chun-woo Han was fucking awesome.
 
This was my trait idea that I was too late to post, would it have been okay?

[][Trait] Spirit Beast Inheritance: One of your ancestors was a Spirit Beast capable of taking human form. Its blood has awakened within you, granting certain abilities and traits.
-[][Beast] Jian of Earth
-- Those with this heritage are born with a special spiritual organ, simply called a Jian Core. A Jian Core has two halves, a Yang half, and a Yin half, and a person is only able to use one of these halves (based on their gender). Both halves give the user a single wing of pure Yang or Yin energy and transforms one of their eyes into a conduit for Yang or Yin energy. The wings can absorb any energy of the same type (ie, Yang absorbs Yang, and Yin absorbs Yin), allowing it to no only shield the user, but give them a way to replenish their Ki. The eye meanwhile, can synchronize with ranged attacks of the same type, allowing them to be guided by the eye. The unused core half can be transplanted into another person through a special ceremony called a Jian Wedding. This gives the recipient all the benefits of whatever core half they receive. It also grants benefits to both holders; allowing them to communicate telepathically with ease, share energy through their wings, see out of the other's enhanced eye and boost their cultivation speed by cultivating together.
 
The store in up now and I've added everything that we have up till now. I will update it as we go along, adding in the various cultivation resources and such that will turn up. If you want to suggest something for the store, go ahead. I ask that you format it similar to other such items in the store already though. Being able to just Copy and Paste is so much easier for me than editing it to fit.

Furthermore, I want to remind you all that this is run on imagination.

If you find yourself thinking 'geez, we could really do with a pill or something that speeds our cultivation up a lot', then suggest one. It will get added to the store for you to purchase. If you find it's too expensive, just write up a new item that does the same thing but weaker. Even then, I'll probably add such items and offer you a choice in the quest as the MC looks through the shop. Bonus points if the item works in a unique way rather than the general 'boosts cultivation speed by x%'

This was my trait idea that I was too late to post, would it have been okay?

[][Trait] Spirit Beast Inheritance: One of your ancestors was a Spirit Beast capable of taking human form. Its blood has awakened within you, granting certain abilities and traits.
-[][Beast] Jian of Earth
-- Those with this heritage are born with a special spiritual organ, simply called a Jian Core. A Jian Core has two halves, a Yang half, and a Yin half, and a person is only able to use one of these halves (based on their gender). Both halves give the user a single wing of pure Yang or Yin energy and transforms one of their eyes into a conduit for Yang or Yin energy. The wings can absorb any energy of the same type (ie, Yang absorbs Yang, and Yin absorbs Yin), allowing it to no only shield the user, but give them a way to replenish their Ki. The eye meanwhile, can synchronize with ranged attacks of the same type, allowing them to be guided by the eye. The unused core half can be transplanted into another person through a special ceremony called a Jian Wedding. This gives the recipient all the benefits of whatever core half they receive. It also grants benefits to both holders; allowing them to communicate telepathically with ease, share energy through their wings, see out of the other's enhanced eye and boost their cultivation speed by cultivating together.

Adding it to the store. It definitely works and I like the out-of-the-box thinking. Was expecting to get flooded with dragons, phoenixes and tigers.
 
[X][Dao] Dao of Comprehension: Your comprehensive abilities gain a slight increase, allowing you to better understand the inherent nature of all cultivation methods and innate techniques.
[X][Cultivation] Lesser Universal Body: Using primordial forces of the heaven, Chaos, Spacetime and Yin Yang, you forge your body into a miniature universe.With this, your body will become increasingly dense and indestructible.In the end, your dantian (or whatever it's equal ) will turn into a universe.Incredible difficult to cultivate and weakest version of the Universal Body series.May enable you to use Chaos Qi if it's a thing here.
[x][Technique] Stealing From the Heavens. Defensive. Converts hostile Qi from attacks or ambient Qi into one's own Qi and Vitality.

The Jian bird has fascinated me ever since I heard about it...which was not that long ago honestly, since I learned about them from Darling in the Frankxx. However, there was an angel equivalent mentioned in Xenogears, which I played long ago. The idea of a power that no one can fully wield alone really intrigues me, maybe that's why I like Kamen Rider W so much. By the way, what rank would my Standing Above All Beasts have been?

Would start on the mortal rank but could go all the way up to immortal based on the animal parts consumed. The divine cultivation realm doesn't lend itself well to physical body type cultivations. It'll be interesting to see how all stats and such change if we ever get there.
 
As I suggested a cultivation method that uses illusions I figured I should provide some technique ideas to go with it.

Illusion Theme Techniques

Offensive
Black Mirage Rite
Directs Qi into the eyes, turning the sclera as black as midnight. This allows the user to target an individual with an illusion of unholy darkness filled with eyes; silently judging. This illusionary attack targets the victim's confidence in their own techniques, suppressing them.

False Sword Art
The user projects an image as sharp as a sword, piercing all opposition. Those affected feel in constant danger as if their every move leaves an opening, the user is merely choosing not to exploit.

Awakened Betrayer Prediction
The user envelops their victims in a world twisted out of time. They watch their every action play out according to their intent before they can take it and slowly they realize that they are going to betray themselves as their intent turns to increasingly self-destructive actions.

Defensive
Seven Layers Shell
The user creates seven perfect illusions of themselves that align perfectly with their body. When they move to dodge, their seven clones dodge in seven separate directions.

Movement
Nightmare's Stride
The user tracks another with predatory purpose, never seeming to hurry but always moving closer.
