As most of the profiles were made with spotted knowledge of the verse due to its sheer size with five novels, it is rather barebones to say the least.
After reading the portion of three of the five novels dedicated to Qi Condensation, I bring you this crt, adding the default abilities all cultivators have at Qi Condensation.
After reading the portion of three of the five novels dedicated to Qi Condensation, I bring you this crt, adding the default abilities all cultivators have at Qi Condensation.
Qi Condensation, Blood Solidification or the True Breath realm are divided up into multiple stages in the novels. The number of the stages varies, but their overall power at the end of it remains the same. Each level can rather handily beat the previous, though at higher levels (5th and on) they plain stomp, moving faster than the lower levels can see and one-shotting everyone. Tiers that are certain are:
2nd levels are 9-A due to Zara’s Calc.
3rd through 5th levels scale above that (the 9-A calc was a finger long blast of fire, a 3rd level can make one the size of an arm), with each level making the previous one "helpless" or outright one-shotting them.
6th at 8-A, shouted so hard that a whole mountain began shaking, which should fit a magnitude 5.
8th are High 7-C, they scale to Bai Xiaochun cracking rock in all directions for 300 meters.
9th should be likely Low 7-B, as they stomp 8th levels, and can blacken the sky with storm clouds.
10th levels are likely 7-B scaling to Wang Lin, and Shangguan Tianyou. Wang Lin stomps a 10'000 feet centipede, Tianyou cracks a 3000 meter arena.
Great Complition/Peak Qi Cons should be 7-A from scaling to Ghostfang (back when he was 8th level Qi Con and using 80% of his power, because his power is noted to be at the peak of Qi Condensation) he puleverized an at least 3000 meter arena. There is also this feat as backup of it, and statements of having the power to topple mountains.

1st levels are superhuman; 5th levels can lift 1500-1600 kilos (stated so); 8th levels can lift 10 bamboos 15 meters long, wide as a person and as heavy as metal; 9th levels scale to Bai Xiaochun, who can lift the weigth of 100 mountains (Class T, and yes, I thougth it was flowery language at first, but the fact that Bai's confirming the weight while casually hopping up and down means it was likely literal). Likely 10th levels, and Great Circles scale to Class T from to feats, one being Wang Lin's telekinesis easily stopping a giant centipede, and another from Bai Xiaochun where the pressure equivalent to a fifty mountains pressing down on him was barely noticable, and could still walk when the weight of 100 mountains rested on his shoulders (and I'd say that "Don't you feel the weight of mountains pushing down on you?""Ah, yes, a few, but can hardly feel them." is good enough proof against this being hyperbole).
All AWE characters, and some other special people in the other novels, have a Divine Sense/Branding Art since 7th level Qi Condensation, which grants: Enhanced Senses and Extrasensory Perception (Can sense "all that exists" in a 2000 feet area. Can brand people with it, sensing where they are and sensing through them as if they were there. Can sense, see and hear normally hidden things such as souls and other forms of indetectable energy), cause pain from afar, ability to strike souls (both from afar, and letting their physical hits do that), permanent Power Nullification (By striking and damaging one's cultivation base), Telekinesis (As seen here), Absorption and Fusionism of/with souls, Possession (As explained here), mark people to detect them at seemingly any distance, enslavement/refining (Can make a person's soul, or an item, be marked by their divine sense, forcing them/it to follow the cultivators will at all times. This lets them crush the soul of the branded at any moment as well, and the item becomes more durable and near impossible to destroy without Divine Sense), Weapon Creation (Divine Sense can be made to become a sword, and presumably other shapes)
Aura, Adhesive Manipulation, Air Manipulation, Afterimage Creation, Explosion Manipulation and Self-Destruction, Energy Manipulation (Primarly Qi, but potentially many other), Body Control and Blood Manipulation, Enhanced Senses, Extrasensory Perception, Self-Sustenance (All types, need ambient Qi to recover useage of their Divine Abilities/Spells), Physics Manipulation, Instinctive Reaction, Genius Intellect, Regeneration (High-low over time), Limited Invisibility, Limited Death Manipulation, Stealth Mastery, Sound Manipulation, Non-Physical Interaction, Telekinesis, Heat Manipulation, Limited Healing, Plant Manipulation, Statistics Amplification, Shapeshifting, Limited Probability Manipulation
Resistances: Can strenghten their resistances by circulating their Qi, Absorption (Biological, energy and soul), Biological Manipulation (Magical pills and poisons that cause bodily reactions such as mutations, size changes, etc. can be resisted through qi), Body Control, Deconstruction, Death Manipulation, Energy Manipulation (Controlling, absorbing, freezing, and otherwise affecting energy used or inside cultivators), Explosion Manipulation, Heat (Cold and hot), Fate and Probability (Cultivators defy the fate set on them by the heavens, ignoring their intended future, and their will can ignore the low probability success forced by the heavens), Poisons and Acids, Power Nullification, Transmutation, Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation

Quotes and epxlaination how the abilities are applied.
Aura: All powerful cultivators inspire a sense of awe, fear and pain in their observers and enemies, making many feel a terror as great as facing their death whenever trying to go against them. Both ambient and inner energies are forced to obey the cultivator’s will – and regardless energy and blood will be thrown into chaos whenever they are near a cultivator – making it harder or impossible to use magic. Enemies near cultivators are physically pushed down. Killing enemies builds up Killing Intent.
Absorption of energy (Berserkers cannot do this with qi): Cultivators can absorb Qi, as well as many other forms of energy like life energy, death aura, divine sense (extension of one’s mind, some deceased leave it behind for others to take), heat (can absorb both hot and cold, though without a proper technique it can cause them to burn/freeze from inside out), Electricity, and potentially several others.
Adhesive Manipulation: Su Ming could attach some birds that landed on him to his skin, making them unable to flee.
Afterimage Creation: Can create afterimages through speed. Bai could move a flying sword so fast that "innumerable" afterimages appeared, each moving in different directions (AWE, 29). Su Ming often tricks others into attacking his afterimage at multiple points.
Blood Manipulation: Can form their blood into an weapon to attack.
Body Control: Can spit blood at will. Can control their blood flow, their veins, their aroma and suppress bleeding or wounds (making them able to forcefully proceed when mortally wounded for a little).
Extrasensory Perception: They can sense danger (since this happens hundreds of times, no kidding, a few major showings are here, here and here) and good fortune, emotions (killing intent, sadness, and other strong emotions), auras (Including auras of death (PotT, 70) that dying, dead or undead have, letting one predict how long someone has before they die, or for how long they have been dead), qi (and all of its different kinds. Sword qi for bladed weapons, blood qi, spiritual qi (PotT, 13, 74), etc. can tell a person what spells a person may have, or what spell has been used in an area). They know if they are being observed (being able to feel the shape of the observer more or less), see things that are normally invisible, hear things that are inaudible, sense things that are invisible even to them, as well as some miscalleneous knowledge like who stole their items (PotT, 69) or that they are murderers (PotT, 87)
Enhanced Senses: Can see more colors, and all of their senses are elevated beyond the norm. Can smell people and animals from far away (PotT, 101), and hear the breathing and heartbeats of others hiding in a bush to ambush. Can hear, see and sense things normally “hidden” (invisible light and inaudible sounds for example.)
Elemental Manipulation: Can create (PotT, 53) and supress (PotT, 41) air and wind.
Explosion Manipulation and Self-Destruction: Can cause items or even themselves to explode. Can point at someone to cause them, or parts of them, to explode.
Energy Manipulation: Can channel qi into an enemy to crush their weak points through physical contact. Can negate backlash from strikes through qi. Can control the kinetic energy of their strike, allowing them to hit someone’s arm and still have the force spread and vaporize the rest of their body. Can lengthen blades through sword qi.
High-Low Regeneration: Breaking all bones and cutting every tendon of a cultivator is not mortal or even permanent, but instead something that takes 1 year to recover from. Qi can replace life energy when needed, and life energy is naturally recovered over time for cultivators.
Limited Invisibility: Qi, Divine Sense and soul based abilities are impossible to detect to mortals. Renegade Immortal showcases this the most, showing both ghosts, magical abilities, environmental effects (the sky darkening due to the presence of the cultivator), and so on. Not just sight, but hearing and the other senses also fail to notice their presence.
Limited Death Manipulation: If any miasma or aura of death is present, cultivators can channel it into others' bodies. Miasma/aura of death can cause both weakness or outright death depending on resistance/amount of aura. Miasma/aura of death is made by things dying (as in, both having died, or being in the process of doing so), so a large amount of death/murder could allow a cultivator to use this ability even without preparation.
Telekinesis: In AWE it is explained as creating threads of Qi around an object, moving it through that, though some (Wang Lin, for example) use different methods to achieve the same effect. However, by default, the telekinesis can only affect things much less heavy than the default lifting strength of cultivators (1500 kilograms was the stated limit of 4th level qi condensation cultivators, 10th levels are far beyond that).
Physics Manipulation/Resistance to it: The presence of Qi warps the natural laws of reality, making certain things such as nuclear fission not work anymore. Cultivators obey laws different from the real world’s own, and some beings were shown ignoring the laws of other worlds for their own.
Heat Manipulation: Can light and burn incense sticks and normie sticks by just breathing on them, cook food (AWE, 24), have skin as hot as a broiling oven and vaporize snow that falls on their skin, and protect whole villages of people from the cold of winter.
Instinctive Reaction: Cultivators instinctively answer to hostile intentions, danger and killing intent (PotT, 74).
Plant Manipulation: Can cause plants to grow at accelerated speed, and can reattach herbs cut to tens of pieces together to form a healthy plant.
Stealth Mastery: Martial Artists can negate thermal sensing through a process done to mimick cultivators. Higher level cultivators can easily conceal their physical presence and smell, as well as making their aura, qi and emotions impossible to detect. Danger sense still appears to work most often unless there are whole “realms” (cultivation levels) in-between the characters. They can also muffle sounds they make.
Sound Manipulation: Can muffle or strengthen sounds they make, as well as spread them farther without making them louder. This can let someone have a conversation that isn’t heard by anyone but the intended person, or whisper to someone a hundred meters away, or shout so hard that the enemy’s internal organs are rattles or the enemy getting downright vaporized.
Shapeshifting: can turn into smoke and light.
Statistics Amplification: Can increase their might with their cultivation level and qi, allowing them to more than double their speed, squeeze harder, be more durable, etc.
Self-Sustenance: Cultivators do not require sleep, food or air. At early stages, they need qi to keep going. At later stages, they do not need qi.
Genius Intellect: Qi caused humans to become far more intelligent than normally possible, letting them memorize 150’000 inscriptions, which can drive average humans insane rather often due to the sheer number of them. Rarely, some can also enter enlightenment, fusing with heaven and earth to comprehend its magical and natural laws and reaching understanding that would take years in days, though it is immensely rare.
Probability Manipulation and resistance to it: A cultivators' Will allows them to defy the fortune and probability of success set by Heaven… for better or worse. If they believe they will fail, they are more likely to fail, and if they believe they will succeed, they are more likely to succeed.
