Military Ranking From Highest To Lowest (Rank + Level) (Level meaning how many there are.)
This is not a spoiler, and this is not real. Please don't think this is the size of the army. It is just in units of such. Basically the lower end has more people, but less power. Think of it that way.

Cultivation Ranks + Stages
This IS a bit of a spoiler. Please don't read or skip if you don't want the story to be spoiled a bit.
---
Turn back NOW if you don't want power levels spoiled.
---
Starting now then.
---
Cultivation split into 4 parts. (Body, Mind, Spirit, Power)
Each stage gets harder. People in the world generally start at a young age. Somewhere between 5-10. (Generally)
---
Body stage has 5 levels and 10 ranks per level. (Ranks are from 1-10 and generally just measure how much progress. They aren't static and change for each person.)
1 Muscles (Intro to cultivation. You start by working out.)
2 Bones (Bones and blood can be swapped around. Not many people know that. However, bones create blood, and thus bones makes more sense to do first.)
3 Blood (Stronger blood can absorb more nutrients and help you grow better.)
4 Tissues (Things like ligaments and tendons get stronger. Vocal box changes earlier, and is more pliable. Thus impressionists exist more so than on Earth.)
5 Organs (Duh. If you don't strengthen these you might get a concussion from moving too fast. However a surprising amount of people don't know to do this and skip the level.)
Mind stage has 5 levels and 5 ranks per level.
1 Aggrieved (The start of internal energy. People in this level generally feel aggrieved or offended constantly. This is a result of internal energy, and will pass the minute they move into the next level.)
2 Apathetic (This is the level with the most people. Generally people feel apathetic about advancing. Thus the name.)
3 Sacred (People in this level feel self justified. The name is a result of that.)
4 Sacrificial (In this level, people must break the energy they've accumulated to progress. Many people skip this level in worldly ways, and thus cannot progress past a certain point.)
5 Pacifistic (Depending on how the person left the last level, they may feel at peace, or not. Those at peace generally are in the true pacifistic realm. Those not feeling so are called false prophets.)
Spirit stage has 3 levels and 5 ranks per level.
1 Shape (In this level cultivators must add shape to the goo like internal energy. People who passed sacrificial realm in a worldly way cannot pass this level due to the nature of internal energy gained from the passage.)
2 Form (In this level, cultivators give the now semi physical internal energy form. In this stage they also can move small amounts of internal energy outside the body.)
3 Universe (To finish this level one must create a universe in their energy. Starting from a world, to the universe. The energy then becomes a spacial dimension that can store living things. Unfortunately, in the golden age of cultivation, as few as 10000 cultivators are at this level.)
Power stage is divided into infinite levels and 1 rank per level
1 Consolidation (Nothing is known about these stages other than the name. Within history, as few as 100 individuals can be named to have hit Consolidation level. Only 5 at Shine, and 1 at Morningstar. The rest of the names have been heard from somewhere...)
2 Shine
3 Morningstar
4 Shogun
5 Emperor
etc.
