Key points:
"Breath" - "Breath" exists in the environment and in many items. This is what a Cultivator absorbs into their body to Cultivate.
Credits - a currency onpy used by Cultivators of Rank 1 to Rank 6 in the Mortal Lands. Credits contain "Breath" inside them and can vary in value.
Gold - used by Rank 0 non Cultivators primarily but some Cultivators in Mortal Ramks will use them still.
Centres of Power:
Mind - reinforces the Mind and its mental defenses. Can also increase in size to have a larger Sea of Conciousness. Inside your Mind their is an imaginary space. In that space is an "Sea" that looks like water. The water represents how much "Breath" one can contain in their Mind and is used to cast Spells and Techniques. It can be depleted and the water will drain from the "Sea". By repeatedly "draining" the "Sea" of the "water" will allow it to fill and become larger. Keiser Runes are used to deplete them faster than one normally can and gives greater benefits while using a Keiser Rune to do so. Grants Mental and Spell enhancements.
Dantian - Literally the core and ability for Cultivators to Cultivate. When absorbing "Breath" most of it will go to the Dantian while extra will go to the Mind. Must have Body and Mind one Rank higher before Cultivating to the next rank. Example - Rank 4-Liquid Mind, Rank 4-Solid Body, Rank 4-Gaseous Dantian. The requirements have been met so now the Cultivator can Cultivate their Dantian to Rank 4-Liquid Dantian without negative side effects but can't go to Rank 4-Solid Dantian unless the Mind becomes Rank 4-Solid Mind like the body already is. Improves everything overall.
Body - One must reinforce the Body in their own Body nourishing methods in order to advance. Grants physical and martial techniques enhancements.

Rank 0 ---> Rank 6 Cultivators reside in the Mortal Lands
When they become Rank 7 they ascend to the Immortal Lands
Mortal Lands scaling:
Rank 4 is common assets in the Heroic Ranks
Rank 5 is the Elders
Rank 6 are the powerhouses of an entire Nation or Organisation
Rank 7 are the godly powers in Mortal Lands for their brief time there but when in Immortal Lands they are common place at the low end.
Rank 8 are the Powerhouses of the Factions and Organisations in the Immortal LandsÂ
Rank 9 are the peak of the Cultivation journey and they don't involve themselves with anything weaker than them since they travel to a dangerous region in the Immortal Lands only Rank 9 beings can survive and reside within.
Heaven and Earth controls the entire verse but they are Quasi Rank 10 and are at the absolute peak of Rank 9-Solid stage
Power scaling of Ranks:
Rank 0 - HumanÂ

Rank 6 - Mountain, Individuality (Dao) Manifestation, survives with half a torso

Rank 7 - Continental, Immortality of Lethal blows, Law Manifestation (Minor Reality Warping based on individual's Law)
Rank 8 - Multi-Continental, can kill many lower Rank beings with ease even in same Rank sometimes in one attack
Rank 9 - Planetary, Resurrection of Rank 8 and lower beings effortlessly in the thousands, manipulates and warps Reality and metaphysical concepts on a Planetary scale, their existence itself creates life and other things by them simplet existing or expressing their power

The Greek Gods in DC verse comics vary in strength from planetary to universal and more. Sometimes Diana or Superman are stronger than them but they are lastly Planetary level of power for the most part.)
Rank 10 - ??? Multi-Solar System? Galaxy? Unievrse?
(No actual feat or proof of power level shown except for the final chapter of Birth Of The Demonic Sword)
