Cultivation

Cultivation in the world of MookHyang - Dark Lady involves the pursuit of strength by aiming to gather Qi/Mana into their body, to increase the amount they have perpetually.

However, in the world Mookhyang comes from Murim, warriors form an energy center to gather all the mana/qi, whereas, warriors from the Two Moon Realm train over and over again so their muscles and bones get stronger through training which will eventually expand their lungs and allow for a steady accumulation of mana. According to Dark, this is fine and enough to become a Graduate in the Two Moon Realm due to the rich Mana, but it is inefficient.

This is different from mages that use the mana around them or elementalists that form a contract with spirits to manipulate the elements.

The rankings of warriors belonging to Murim and the Two Moon Realm differ in name only.

Trivia

 * Warriors in Murim have martial art techniques, due to this they have the abilities of a Graduate without being a Graduate.
 * In truth there is no "Graduate" level in Murim because Martial Artists can manipulate mana, even before reaching the Union of Body and Mind.
 * Paladins seem to be stronger than the average warrior, as they can also use Divine Magic in addition to their Mana/Qi as warriors. However, they can be too reliant on Divine Magic and focus less on Mana, which causes paladins to usually have less mana than a warrior, though the Divine Magic more than makes up for it in most situations.
 * Sir Alex Sidmion was a Graduate of unknown ranking but by Sir Karossa's own words, all Graduates are not created equal, and Sir Alex was easily killed by Sir Karossa. Sir Alex was either a 2nd Rate or 3rd Rate Martial Artist.
 * Ronierre Kantariox, a priest who serves the god Shaihad, has stated that "not every Knight who is able to use mana becomes a graduate".
 * Graduates are registered with the Temple of War.
 * A Master cannot defeat a graduate using a 1.0 output Titan, however, it seems that a Grand Master can accomplish this feat.
 * It is assumed that Dragons are innately at the realm of Transcendence over Life and Death.
 * The unofficial translations for Total Transformation / Demonic Conqueror are Divine Awakening / Demonic Discipline.
 * The unofficial translations for Sage / Demon Transcender are Crimson Awakening / Unmasked Demon.
 * The unofficial translations for Transcendence over Life and Death are True Enlightenment of Life and Death.
