****************************************************

N/B I'll often use the cultivation ranks of Martial peak often in future chapters, so I provided a clear outline of various cultivation realms in Martial peak. Hope this solves some of your future queries.

(Sometimes these cultivation terms may be used in chapters)

****************************************************

This chart provides an overview of the Human Cultivation system. In Martial Peak, the cultivation of all other races is generally scaled and compared to Human Race Cultivation.

Realms Levels -

---------------------------Starting World--------------------------------

1) 𝙏𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝘽𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙏𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜/

𝘽𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙏𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 - After reaching the Tempered Body 4th Stage, one begins to sense World Energy in the atmosphere. At the 7th Stage, one starts to naturally gather World Energy and absorb it into their body, allowing them to start storing Yuan Qi.

2) 𝙄𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙄𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - Cultivators at this realm have accumulated enough Yuan Qi to start using it in techniques. Though Yuan Qi can be used to affect the body and the environment, it can't yet leave the body.

3) 𝙌𝙞 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - At this realm, cultivators can finally release Yuan Qi outside of their body in order to be used for attacking, defending, and etc. This is also the first realm in which a cultivator experiences a World Baptism, which tempers their body for the next realm.

Due to the massive increase in Yuan Qi stores at this realm, cultivators often have a harder time balancing their state of mind/temper. As such, they are generally more prone to getting into fights (this doesn't apply to those with strong will power like Yang Kai or Su Yan.)

4) 𝙎𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙍𝙚𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣 - This realm is simply an upgrade in the strength, storage, and the use of Yuan Qi in comparison to the Qi Transformation Stage. Upon reaching the Separation and Reunion Boundary, two paths appear in one's mind. This state is known as Separation and Reunion. If one drowns their self in the thrill of seeking power, they become unable to suppress their raging emotions and desires. This is called Becoming Devil (Devil's Path). These people are generally more brutal, bloodthirsty, and violent.

5) 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 - To reach this realm, one needs to purify their Yuan Qi into the significantly more powerful True Qi, which can perform far more complex tasks than Yuan Qi. Thanks to True Qi, cultivators can start flying at this realm.

6) 𝙄𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 - At this realm, a cultivator develops a Knowledge Sea and Divine Sense. A Knowledge Sea gives one the ability to store all of their knowledge, memories, techniques, and Divine Soul Artifacts. A Divine Sense allows one to see and/or sense everything within a certain radius of their surroundings as long as it is sufficiently powerful. A Divine Sense can also be used to attack another cultivator's Divine Soul.

7) 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 - With sufficient comprehension of the Heavenly Way, one can eventually reach this realm. At this realm, one's life span goes beyond average mortal limits, and they can live hundreds of years.

------------------------Tong Xuan Realm------------------------

8) 𝙎𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩 - Like when a Separation and Reunion Boundary cultivator wants to enter the True Element Boundary, a 3rd Order Transcendent Realm cultivator has to purify their True Qi into Saint Qi in order to reach the Saint Realm. At the 3rd Order Saint Realm, the average cultivator's flesh body is strong enough to withstand the environment of the Starry Sky.

-----------------------------Star Field---------------------------------

9) 𝙎𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜 - One only needs a stable foundation, Saint Qi accumulation, and sufficient comprehension of the Heavenly Way in order to reach this realm.

10) 𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 - At this realm, with some training, a cultivator should be able to merge their Will, Saint Qi, and Divine Soul Strength into Shi(Potential), which suppresses most cultivators below this realm. Developing one's Shi is the most important aspect of the Origin Returning Realm, and is the main distinguishing factor between these cultivators.

In addition, a cultivator can learn Yuan Control Mastery at this realm if their Divine Sense becomes strong enough, greatly increasing their combat efficacy.

11) 𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜- When one's ability in Shi reaches the expertise of Grand Accomplishment, they are able to cultivate to this realm. Their Shi evolves into the incredibly more powerful Domain. Likewise, these cultivators are exponentially more powerful than Origin Returning Realm cultivators.

If one is fortunate enough to become a Star Master at this realm, they can get an early sense of both sensing and drawing support from the strength of World Principles, i.e. aspects of the Heavenly Way, which is a major aspect of Dao Source Realm power.

-------------------------Star Boundary ---------------------------

12) 𝘿𝙖𝙤 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚 - To breakthrough to this realm, one must develop their Domain to the Grand Accomplishment level and completely convert their Saint Qi into the far more powerful Source Qi. Therefore, one must also have access to a world with sufficient World Principles to allow for this conversion to take place.

Starting at this realm, cultivators are able to draw support from the strength of one or more types of World Principles (ex: Space Principles). From here on out, a cultivator's comprehension and capability toward the manipulation of Principles greatly distinguishes them from other martial artists of the same realm.

The Dao Source Realm can also be cultivated to in the Ancestral Field.

13) 𝙀𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙧 - A profound realm, it is difficult to reach because one needs to be able to directly control their respective Principles. Their Source Qi also needs to be converted into Emperor Qi before they can fully command the power of the Emperor Realm. Pseudo-Great Emperor, Dao Seal, and Half Open Heaven are special classifications of the Emperor Realm.

14) 𝙋𝙨𝙚𝙪𝙙𝙤-𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙀𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙧 - Pseudo-Emperor Known as the Peak Emperor Realm in the Outer Universe, a Pseudo-Great Emperor has made a breakthrough past the normal 3rd Order Emperor Realm, but has not yet achieved Great Emperor (i.e. condensed a Dao Seal). Likewise, they are far more powerful than 3rd Order Emperor Realm cultivators.

Having gained sufficient sensibility toward their Grand Dao, an Emperor that has condensed a Dao Seal is significantly more powerful than a Pseudo-Great Emperor, and is capable of promoting to the Open Heaven Stage. Barring unusual circumstances, only Pseudo-Great Emperors that have successfully seized the extremely rare chance to become a Great Emperor can condense a Dao Seal within Universe Worlds.

In Universe Worlds, one may be acknowledged as a Great Emperor by the Heavenly Way if there is a space available. This allows them to both condense a Dao Seal and transfer the World Force, through which they can generate the power of at least Low Rank Open Heaven Stage. However, this power is only available within a certain range of one's Universe World.

--------------------------Outer universe --------------------------------

15) 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙛 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣 - This level is another special classification of Emperor. One must, after condensing a Dao Seal, condense 5 of 7 resources: Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold, Water, Yin/Yang into it. These Emperors can be called Half Open Heaven.

Due to the mutual promotion and cycling of the 5 condensed strengths, these Emperors can generate an embryonic form of World Force, making them far stronger than the typical Emperor with a Dao Seal.

16) 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣 - After condensing all 7 of the Yin-Yang + 5 Element resources into their Dao Seal, an Emperor must successfully form a Small Universe within their body in order to become Open Heaven Stage. At High Rank Open Heaven Stage (7th-9th), this world becomes a real Universe World. The strength of this realm comes from the ability to draw on the Small Universe's World Force.

Thus, this realm essentially bypasses the major weakness of the Great Emperor title. It also, in many cases, allows these cultivators to display an incomparably more powerful strength (>Low Rank).

Barring miraculous methods, Open Heaven Stage cultivators have a 2-rank promotion limit from their initial rank.(i.e. 3rd Rank limit is 5th Rank)

17) 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - The new known peak of the Martial Dao, this realm has been seen to allow one to use their mastery over all of the 3,000 Grand Daos to create Universe Worlds, and by extension life, from nothing. Yang Kai is the only being known to have achieved this realm.
