This is just a chapter that records the ranks for cultivation, medicinal herbs, alchemy, blacksmith, formations and spirit beast.
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.
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.
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 of 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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. At the 3rd Order of Saint Realm, the average cultivator's flesh body is strong enough to withstand the environment of the Starry Sky.
Li Rui, the Old Man of Heaven's Keep, indicated that he has lived over a thousand years as a Saint.
One only needs a stable foundation, Saint Qi accumulation, and sufficient comprehension of the Heavenly Way to reach this realm.
At this realm, with some training, a cultivator is able to merge their Will, Saint Qi, and Divine Soul Strength into Shi(Potential), which suppresses most cultivators below this realm. When one's Divine Sense becomes strong enough, they can learn Yuan Control Mastery. This greatly increases their combat efficacy.
When one's ability in Shi reaches the expertise of Grand Accomplishment, they are able to cultivate to this realm. Their Shi becomes Domain. 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 World Principles, i.e. aspects of the Heavenly Way, which is a major aspect of Principle Source Stage power.
To breakthrough to this realm, one must develop their Domain to the Grand Accomplishment level and completely covert their Saint Qi into the far more powerful Source Strength. Elsewise, they can never reach this realm. 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 one or more World Principles(ex: Space Principle). From this realm upward, a cultivator's comprehension and capability toward the manipulation of Principles greatly distinguishes them from other martial artists of the same realm.
Principle Source Stage can also be cultivated to in the Ancestor Territory.
A profound realm, it is difficult to reach because one needs to be able to directly control at least one Principle. Their 'Source Strength' also needs to be converted into 'Emperor Yuan' before they can fully command the power of Emperor Senior. Pseudo Emperor, Dao Seal, and Half Open Heaven are special classifications of Emperor Senior.
Known as Emperor Senior Stage Peak in the Outer Universe, a Pseudo Emperor has made a breakthrough past the Emperor Senior 3rd Layer, but has not yet achieved Great Emperor(i.e. condensed a Dao Seal). Likewise, they are far more powerful than Emperor Senior 3rd Layers. The term "Pseudo Emperor" denotes one as a "Pseudo Great Emperor."
An Emperor Senior that has condensed a Dao Seal is significantly more powerful than a Pseudo Emperor, and is capable of promoting to Open Heaven Stage. Barring unusual circumstances, only Pseudo 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 enables them to sense their Main Road, condense a Dao Seal, and transfer the World Mighty Force, which allows them to 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.
This level is another special classification of Emperor Senior. One must, after condensing a Dao Seal, condense 5 of 7 resources: Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold, Water, Yin/Yang into it. These Emperor Seniors can be called Half Open Heaven.
Due to the mutual promotion and cycling of the 5 strengths condensed, these Emperor Seniors can generate an embryonic form of World Mighty Force, making them far stronger than the typical Emperor Senior with a Dao Seal.
After condensing all 7 of the Yin-Yang + 5 Element resources into their Dao Seal, an Emperor Senior must successfully form a Small Universe within their body 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 one's Small Universe's World Mighty Force.
Thus, this realm essentially bypasses the major weakness of the Great Emperortitle. It also, in many cases, allows these cultivators to display a far 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)
