Three Flowers Gather at the Summit (삼화취정/三花聚頂)
This stage is considered to be mostly unattainable for the people of the mortal world, and there are few people in history that've attained this realm. At this stage, one can run away from a Qi Building stage cultivator. One can attain this stage by understanding that all intent is essentially the same.
Substages
- Early: See and understand Purple (see all intent as one & the same), allowing one to view and read their opponent's intent more directly and meticulously and ensuring that all of one's movements and techniques are flawless. Form Gang Qi by connecting to other (world / people) intents and use their energies by encasing it with Internal Energy
- Middle: Discover colors of the 7 Emotions and infuse them into one’s own intent. The seven basic emotions are as follows:
- Gold - Joy (喜)
- Red - Anger (怒)
- Dark Blue - Sorrow (哀)
- Purple - Pleasure (樂)
- Light Pink - Love (愛)
- Dark Red - Hate (惡)
- Black/Colorless(Seo Eun-hyun)- Desire (欲)
- Late: Discover the infinite variations of colors (7 Emotions) At this stage, one views the world of intent beyond the boundary of the self. Martial artists at this realm see a different world from those at the Peak Stage. While Peak artists only see red and blue, martial artists in this realm can see infinite colors in the wider world, and can imbue emotions into their Martial arts to make it seem alive. In the mortal world, these are exceedingly rare, and have very few reclusive masters. These masters tend to be in important positions of major factions, so that they can continually observe the fluctuations in intent and emotion.
It's said that reaching Five Energies Converging to the Origin requires reading all emotions, but in truth, reading every emotion is impossible. One must simply acknowledge this fact to reach that realm.
