Cultivation Ranks

A) Dou Realms

This is a ranking according to how strong the person is. In this land whoever has strength, has dignity. Without strength you are nothing. As you train your Dou Qi level you gain status and class, within each Dou Qi class there are levels indicated as stars, when you reach nine stars you have the potential to advance your class. e.g. - a nine star Dou Zhe will advance to Dou Shi with his next Dou Qi increase/breakthrough. The gap between each stars will increase as one advances to higher classes and the difficulty of advancing would also increase.

Stages:

Low: 1-3 Stars/Stages

Middle: 4-6 Stars/Stages

High: 7-9 Stars/Stages

1) Dou Disciple/Dou Zhi Qi/Fighting Spirit

Nourishes the muscles and bones, strengthens the body, and absorbs Dou Zhi Qi for enhancement.

2) Dou Practitioner/Dou Zhe/Fighter

Gathering Qi into a cyclone, Dou Zhi Qi is compressed into Dou Qi. They can perform internal visualization and begin absorbing Dou Qi for cultivation. They qualify to practice cultivation techniques, which will transform the attribute-less milky white Dou Qi into the attribute-specific Dou Qi of the technique.

3) Dou Master/Dou Shi/Fighting Master

The Dou Qi within the cyclone transforms from a gaseous to a liquid state. They can summon a Dou Qi cloak to enhance themselves.

4) Dou Grandmaster/Da Dou Shi/Fighting

Grandmaster

The Dou Qi within the Dou Qi cyclone transforms from a liquid to a solid state, forming irregular rhombus-shaped crystals known as Dou Crystals. Dou Qi can be released from the body and can be used to cover weapons, enhancing their attack power. The Dou Qi gauze transforms into Dou Qi armor. This stage marks the true entry into the hall of Dou Qi cultivation.

5) Dou Spirit/Dou Ling/Fighting Spirit

The Dou Crystal undergoes a transformation, resembling a sea urchin, and can condense Dou Qi into objects, allowing for short-distance flight. The Dou Crystal is smooth but has nine long spikes, with one spike disappearing for each star level gained. The weapons and armor formed from this condensed Dou Qi are far superior to ordinary weapons and armor, possessing strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

6) Dou King/Dou Wang/Fighting King

Dou Qi resonates with the energy of heaven and earth of the same attribute, allowing the user to manipulate this energy for their own use. Only those who can condense Dou Qi into wings are considered quasi-Dou Wang. After forming Dou Qi wings, they can hover and fly for a period, becoming true Dou Wang. Their Dou Crystal becomes truly smooth and enlarged, allowing their body to directly absorb energy and manipulate the power of heaven and earth to set up energy barriers.

7) Dou Emperor/Dou Huang/Fighting Emperor

Masters the power of heaven and earth, capable of manipulating large amounts of external energy of the same attribute. They can stay in the void for a short time without external assistance. Their abundant Dou Qi can be used to launch powerful energy attacks.

8) Dou Ancestor/Dou Zong/Fighting Ancestor

Able to walk in the air, almost as if walking on flat ground in the sky. They can freely manipulate the energy of heaven and earth, and initially control spatial power, achieving spatial distortion and spatial locking. High-level Dou Zong can understand some basic spatial powers. Their bodies undergo a transformation, with a faint layer of Dou Qi crystals covering their meridians and even bones. The mere operation of their thick Dou Qi can cause changes in the surrounding space, and their gestures can create spatial vibrations. High-level Dou Zong can influence the energy of heaven and earth with their Dou Qi.

9) Dou Venerable/Dou Zun/Fighting Venerable

Masters the power of space, with boundless Dou Qi within their body, capable of solidifying Dou Qi into crystals. They can tear space, traverse through space, perform spatial strangulation, set up space locks and prisons, create spatial wormholes, and withstand spatial storms. With a mere gesture, they wield the vast power to distort space. They can continuously absorb the energy of heaven and earth to convert it into Dou Qi within their body. As long as their soul remains intact, they have a chance of resurrection.

10) Peak Dou Venerable/Peak Dou Zun/ Peak Fighting Venerable

To become a Saint (Sheng) through nine transformations, one must refine and compress Dou Qi nine times. When at the peak of Dou Zun, and the Dou Qi within the body is full and cannot increase further, it must be completely refined and compressed to create new space for fresh Dou Qi. This process is repeated until the Dou Qi is full again. From the eighth transformation onwards, one possesses the unique energy fluctuations of the Saint realm.

11) Half Saint/Ban Sheng

Through ten transformations of Dou Qi, it undergoes a qualitative change. Upon initially entering the saint realm, even though they are a Half-Saint, they can still call themselves a Saint. They are far superior to a Dou Zun and can create spatial jade slips.

12) Dou Saint/Dou Sheng/Fighting Saint

A Dou Sheng can control a domain, freely manipulating the energy of heaven and earth for offense and defense. With a mere gesture, they can cause mountains to crumble, the earth to split, and space to shatter. They can create a habitable space from the void and cause spatial collapses effortlessly. A hallmark of a Six-Star Dou Sheng is spatial relocation, allowing them to construct chaotic spaces for battle. A Nine-Star Dou Sheng can trigger energy tides with their Dou Qi, and their peak bloodline begins to mutate.

13) Half Step Dou God/Half Step Dou Do/Half Step Fighting God

Those whose Dou Qi has reached the peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng and whose soul has reached the Di State are referred to as Half Step Dou Di. In ancient times, the concept of Half Step Dou Di did not exist. Back then, once a strong individual reached the peak of Dou Sheng and absorbed enough Origin Qi, they could attempt a breakthrough to Dou Di. However, now that Origin Qi has been depleted, many strong individuals are forced to remain at the peak of Dou Sheng. Figures like Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, Xiao Xuan, Yellow Spring Demon Saint, and Pure Lotus Demon Saint are all known as Half Step Dou Di.

14) Dou God/Dou Do/Fighting God

Absorbs the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, causing a qualitative change in Dou Qi, while the soul transforms into an Di Soul. With a single thought, they can change the heavens and earth, shatter mountains and rivers, and the aftermath of their battles can directly kill a peak Dou Sheng. They stand above heaven and earth, able to prevent Dou Shengs from manipulating the energy of heaven and earth. They have the ability to alter their own bloodline, benefiting their descendants and revitalizing an entire clan with their power. Those with a rich bloodline face no bottlenecks before reaching the Ban Sheng level. They can absorb the energy of heaven and earth into their body, forming a massive Dou Di Body, with power capable of breaking the heavens.
