    First term that I need help with
    胎息境界高手 - Fetal Master does not seem appropriate
    I have been replacing Holy Fetus with Holy Seed

    For the second term
    能量体
    Is it:
    1 movement of body energy
    2 movement energy of the body

    @Incarneous @purplenails @aoiisora
    @Deceptioning @lynette
    Thanks in advance

    Breathing realm master is the alternative google sensei gives you for the first term, so how about Breathing Seed Realm Master or eliminate the master part and just leave it as Breathing Seed Realm.

    If I can't get a better word I will release it. The plan is to have a bulk release.
    My team is made up of newbies so we need all the help we can get.
    We can't do daily releases so we will do bulk releases instead
    Thanks for all the suggestions

    能量体 is simply energy body cos 能量 refers to power/energy

    胎息境界高手 is more like breathing master or breathing technique master or smth since 胎息 is referring to some breathing technique

    胎息 means to breath the internal Qi without using mouth or nose, like a unborn-child. I think breathing master is ok, or Internal Breathe Master
    《云笈七签》曰:“人能依婴儿在母腹中,自服内气,握固守一,是名胎息" 《seven taoist books in a cabinet》:"Like in the mother's womb,when a man taking the internal breathe,holding firmly his oneness, it was the status of 胎息。 "
    能量体 is the energy body.

    Edit: I made a rough translation in the spoiler.

    Taixi is "Embryonic Breathing". It's an advanced kind of Qigong Breathing Exercise.
    I agree that translating that first phrase as something like "Internal Breathing Expert" would probably be fine.

    About the second phrase: http://baike.baidu.com/item/能量体
    If you don't like "Energy Body", you could maybe go with "Etheric Body" or "Astral Body"?

    So many poor and inaccurate responses from non-translators.

    Energy body is probably your best bet.

    And You could just say "Embryonic Breathing Realm Expert" "FetalBreath Realm Expert" or something along those lines if you want. Internal Breath Expert works too, though you would need to put in a footnote or something to explain that internal breath is part of embryonic breathing.
