Looks like this is called [Xianxia novel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xianxia_novel) which is related to [Xian in Taoism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xian_(Taoism)) and related to "cultivation" (but I can't expand more than this since this is out of my expertise at all, anyone feels free to expand and post the answer...)

Also. I found [a YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub1cpd2Qg90) explaining this concept in Chinese fantasy novels, which I believe is more related. (Still don't have time to write a proper answer...)
