    Hey guys!

    So I'm translating Thunder Martial and I'm having some difficulties with a small description of the Qi and realms progression.

    天地间有灵气,修士吸收天地灵气,化灵气为真气,突破一个个境界,真气蜕变,成为先天真气,转而再变,最后化为元力,成就真元境。

    So I think I got half of it:
    天地间有灵气,修士吸收天地灵气,化灵气为真气,突破一个个境界,真气蜕变,成为先天真气
    There is yuan between the Heaven and Earth, cultivators absorb yuan between Heaven and Earth, transform the yuan into Ling Qi, Ling Qi turns into Zhen Qi, they break through the Xiantian realm

    I'm having trouble with this part: 转而再变,最后化为元力,成就真元境。

    Any ideas or corrections?

    Thanks!

    天地间有灵气,
    Between Heaven and Earth there is Spiritual Qi,

    修士吸收天地灵气,
    cultivators absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi,

    化灵气为真气,
    transforming the Spiritual Qi into True Qi,

    突破一个个境界,
    with the breakthrough of each realm,

    真气蜕变,
    True Qi goes through a qualitative transformation,

    成为先天真气,
    becoming Innate True Qi,

    转而再变,
    then once again changes,

    最后化为元力,
    finally transforming into (Origin/Yuan) (Force/Strength/Power),

    成就真元境。
    thus achieving True (Origin/Yuan) Realm.

    Is the best I could come up with using my own meager knowledge and the power of MTL
