Meridian Opening- 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th

Each stage represents one meridian, and a minimum of 3 is required to progress. It gets harder and harder to open meridians. However, opening all 9 gives a significant advantage.

Qi Gathering - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Peak

Gather Qi using meridians, and let it flow throughout the body. This will rebuild your body to make it better suited for cultivation, while also enhancing its strength and regenerative properties. Each stage will release impurities.

Ocean Formation - Stream, River, Sea, Ocean

Flow Qi into the dantian through channels that will grow wider with each stage; first being stream, then river, then sea signifying that the dantian is filling up. At ocean stage, dantian should be filled with Qi.

Core Compression - Compression, Compressed

Not really a stage, but the way to go from the Ocean Formation stage to the Core Strengthening stage. As per the name, you compress your ocean until it forms a core. The denser the core, the better.

Core Strengthening - Rank 1, Rank 2, Rank 3, Rank 4, Rank 5, Rank 6, Rank 7, Rank 8, Unknown

You will automatically receive a rank upon reaching core strengthening. Each rank is signified by a color, and the strength depends on density of core. Core can be strengthened through usage of rare treasures and herbs, or just through cultivation. As of now, the strongest core recorded is 8th rank. The higher the core, the harder to break through to the next stage, Nascent Soul. Colors are as follows: 1: Green, 2: Yellow, 3: Blue, 4: Red, 5: Gray, 6: Silver, 7: Gold, 8: Mutated (core depends on person).

Nascent Soul - Early, Middle, Late, Peak, Quasi-Immortal

After breaking the core, you are now left with a Nascent Soul. You must repeatedly refine it in order to reach later ranks and, finally, break through to Immortal stage, in which you finally glimpse the natural laws and start on one of two paths.

Immortal - Everlasting, Imperishable, Forever, Infinite, Transcendence

At immortal stage, one must start trying to understand the natural laws and their properties. Higher comprehension equals higher stage. Once you reach the Transcendence rank, you can either start to form a domain or a spirit weapon. Rarely, you can form both. Whatever you form will be based off the natural laws you have mastered.

Sovereign/Grandmaster Immortal - Beginner Domain/Weapon, Intermediate Domain/Weapon, Advanced Domain/Weapon, Perfected Domain/Weapon

Self-explanatory, you increase your proficiency and power with your domain or weapon. This is the second highest stage, and it is almost impossible to break through. However, if you do, you will be able to reach Celestial Emperor.

Celestial Emperor - 1st layer, 2nd layer, 3rd layer, 4th layer, 5th layer

At this rank, you must build up power using Celestial Qi, which can be found in certain places, or space itself. At this point, your body automatically cultivates. Once you reach 5th layer, you can break through the dimensional barrier and go to heaven. No one has managed to do this.
