Dao System

Dao is the path in which a path seeker takes, it is his beliefs and his way of live, the deeper it is the stronger it is.

Due to the nature of Dao, it is very difficult for one to deepen their Dao, hence the power different between the levels of Dao within a stage is large enough like the difference between a knife and a pistol. Hence the difference in stages are like those of a single soldier against a tank.

The ranking is as follows:

Sapling (First stage)

- First Growth

- Second Growth

- Final Growth

Leaf (Second stage)

- First leaf

- Second leaf

- Third leaf

- Fourth leaf

- Final leaf

Bud (Third stage)

- First peel

- Second peel

- Third peel

- Final peel

Bloom (Fourth stage)

- One flower, one stage

The development of Dao within a person, is similar to that of a flower tree, hence the ranks are described as such.

Sapling, is the first stage and the easiest to cultivate as, new path seekers are always the firmest in their belief of their Dao. Hence the difference in power level is not as significant between different levels within the stage.

Leaf is a much harder stage to deepen their Dao, as their beliefs starts to waver due to time and those around them, causing a lapse in their Dao, hence many are either stuck in this stage or if they forcefully level up, they will have fractures in their Dao that is hard to mend. It is also the stage for those with strong beliefs to reinforce their Dao the greater the reinforcement of their Dao at each level within the stage, the stronger they tend to be in the future stages, hence another reason why many stays in this stage.

Bud is the stage where path seekers starts to shed their skin and ascend to a greater level of power, only a rare few a able to reach this stage, hence path seekers of this stage are generally regarded as the foundations of great nations to ensure the safety and security of the nation.

Lastly, Bloom is the stage where path seekers have ascended to a new plane above all others and are consider immortals, with each flower that blossomed within their Dao the stronger they get, at the same time as the flowers increase in numbers the difficulty in blossoming them increases.
