STARTING WORLD (SMALL WORLD)

1st. Tempered body - 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.

2nd. Initial Element - 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.

3rd. Qi Transformation - 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 in 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.)

4th. Separation And Reunion - 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.

5th. True Element - 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.

6th. Immortal Ascension - 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. A Divine Sense can also be used to attack another cultivator's Divine Soul.

7th. Transcendent - 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.

TONG XUAN REALM

(CULTIVATION PLANET)

8th. Saint - 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 in order to reach the Saint Realm. At the 3rd Order Saint Realm, the average cultivator's flesh body is strong enough to withstand the environment of the Starry Sky.
