The cultivator community marks significant divides at each step, with five such divides at the Kalpa Passing Stage. Each time the cultivators survive a heavenly tribulation, their strength leaps dramatically.
But this isn't even the most exaggerated aspect.
The most exaggerated is the Mahayana Phase. Without an Ascension Pathway, these beings, who were supposed to ascend to the Upper Realm, are forcibly stranded in the human world. Factors such as cultivation techniques, aptitude, enlightenment, and bloodlines decide the divides among Mahayana Cultivators.
Sometimes, the disparity between Mahayana Cultivators is even greater than that between ordinary people and Lu... Lu Xi, with differences as stark as between the clouds and the mud.
