Cultivation Ranks

I want the ranks to be easily comprehensive, so here goes.

Spiritual Cultivation:

Foundation Building: This is the stage in which the cultivator is building a foundation to allow qi to gather into the body. It can be divided into three stages that the cultivator can clearly see how far they've completed. These three stages being: Skeleton Hardening, Organ Enhancing, Muscle Breaking and Reforming, and Skin Thickening. While in this stage, qi can be used; however, the qi will not enter the body but will instead be used externally. This is because the qi used at this stage is natural qi, something that the body is unable to withstand without body cultivation being practiced.

Qi Condensation: At this stage, the cultivator gathers qi into their body to form a core that will contain their qi from that point on. This stage doesn't have subdivisions, it can be easily seen how close one is to forming a core.

Core Formation: This is the stage in which the person has formed a core, in this stage the cultivator can easily use this core to use internal qi, which has a myriad of benefits. This stage has no subdivisions, the only goal of this stage is to fill the core with energy, which once completely full, will break apart and enter the body.

Qi Coalescence: At this stage, qi will be all over the body with no barriers in between. This is the stage where body cultivation becomes incredibly useful, without body cultivation, the body may not be able to withstand the influx of qi and may explode. At this stage, with a single flap of the sleeve, a cultivator can use their body to create tornadoes, this is due to the strengthening of the body caused by qi.

Ascendance: This is all that is known by cultivators in the ??? Region. In this stage, the cultivator must face tribulations, upon overcoming them, they will ascend to a higher realm. Ascendants can no longer exist on the ??? Realm, and as such not much is known about them.

Body Cultivation: 

Copper Body: While the name of this stage may be copper, it does not actually represent one having the equivalent strength of body to a piece of copper. In truth, this stage of cultivation would have someone have body strength equivalent to a weapon of Foundation Stage, the closer to the peak of these weapons their body reaches, the closer to the next stage of cultivation they reach. At this stage, one needs to take in natural qi while having no cultivation of their own. Typically, one can fight someone at the Qi Condensation realm to a stand-still at this stage.

Bronze Body: At this stage of cultivation, the body becomes equivalent in strength to that of a Qi Condensation weapon. At this stage, one needs to take in condensed qi, this is an accumulation of natural qi that only occurs at the birth of a treasure and can be found in naturally formed treasures. Typically, one can fight someone at the Core Formation realm to a stand-still at this stage.

Iron Body: At this stage of cultivation, the body becomes equivalent in strength to that of a Core Formation weapon. One needs to take in liquid qi, something found in areas that have a concentration of condensed qi within them in an enclosed space, forcing the condensed qi into a state so dense it eventually becomes liquid. Typically, these can only be found in holy grounds of sects as the qi within them is of such a high quality that with sufficient talent, they can promote one to an Ascendant alone. Typically, one can fight someone at the Qi Coalescence realm to a stand-still at this stage.

Gold Body: At this stage of cultivation, the body becomes equivalent in strength to that of a Qi Coalescence weapon. One needs to absorb qi crystals at this stage, this is the highest quality qi can reach within the ??? Realm and these can only be found by dumb luck as any that are discovered are fiercely fought over by the best sects of the ??? Realm. Typically, one can fight someone at the peak of the Qi Coalescence realm and may be able to compare to a just Ascended being.

Diamond Body: At this stage of cultivation, the body becomes equivalent in strength to that of an Ascendant weapon. One needs to absorb a large quantity of the highest quality qi crystals in order to advance in this realm, and nobody has reached this realm in thousands of years. Typically, someone at this realm would be forced to Ascend; however, for the limited time they could stay in the ??? Realm, they would be the single strongest being in existence.

Soul Cultivation: 

Enhanced Will: At this stage, the users will has been strengthened either through treasures, experiences, or meditation, to be above that of the average cultivators. Typically, this allows for the user to pick up on techniques quicker and increases the speed of their cultivation somewhat.

Enduring Spirit: At this stage, the user can no longer rely on outside sources and must increase the strength of their will through enduring hardships without faltering. Typically, this allows for the user to pick up on techniques their comprehension wouldn't allow, actually increases the comprehension of the user, allows them to enter the very beginning stages of a State subconsciously, and speeds up their cultivation progress significantly.

Extraordinary Will: At this stage, the users will has reached such a state that very little actions can affect their mind, even states of extreme pain will no longer effect the user. Typically, this allows for the user to enter States whenever they please as well as to sink deeper into these States, comprehend techniques faster, gain insights into techniques to the point where they may even be able to reach the modified level in them, and their cultivation speed will be equivalent to using a Qi Condensation grade treasure at all points.

Unbridled Spirit: At this stage, the users will has reached the point where it can affect the physical world, allowing the user to dominate those with a weaker will through releasing soul pressure. This soul pressure differs from spiritual pressure in that it can ignore cultivation grades to a certain extent, allowing the user to directly attack the soul of the target. This stage enables the user to use the soul as an extension of themselves, using it to pick up techniques at the same time they do, enter deeply into mysterious states as well as gain the ability to control which ones they enter, and speeds up their comprehension to the equivalent level of Qi Coalescence.

Unparalleled Spirit: At this stage, the users will has reached such a point that it can affect those that have reached the Ascendant realm. This stage allows the user to pick up hundreds of techniques at the same time, enter the deepest realm of a State, and speed up their comprehension to the equivalent level an Ascendant-level comprehension treasure would.

These ranks are then further divided into minor success, major success, and peak success.
