Nice, I'll have to check some of these out! I also recommend On Writing and Worldbuilding by Timothy Hickson. He has a YouTube channel where he covers a lot of worldbuilding topics, and his book is basically all of that in book form with some extra stuff
Something I've found increasingly helpful is understanding how progression fantasy fits into overall ideas of narrative arcs and character building. While it is fantasy (hence the call for swords, martial arts, etc), there are books out there that can be quite helpful in understanding the construction of a magic system, which cultivation novels draw heavily from.
My favorite is On Worldbuilding and Writing.

It is not just about world-building, and you should read, at least the magic systems chapter, before you construct your cultivation system. Of course, anything Tao or Andrew Rowe have written on it are super helpful as well, but this book... it's def the best I've read on writing (and I've read WAY too many).
I highly recommend checking out Timothy Hickson's On Worldbuilding Vol 1Vol 1 & Vol 2Vol 2 books. He also has a YouTube channel, Hello Future MeHello Future Me, that deals with exactly this kind of worldbuilding stuff as well.
