Martial Universe – Realm Divisions

Body Tempering (淬体): Exercising the body inside and out until a trace of Yuan Power (元力) is produced, allowing one to truly become a cultivator.

Earthly Yuan (地元): Absorbing the Yin Fiend Qi (阴煞之气) from the heavens and the earth. Yin Fiend Qi is divided into nine levels, with nine being the highest. The ultimate fusion of Yuan Power within the body increases the attack power of Yuan Power. The Earthly Yuan Realm is divided into three stages: Early, Middle, and Late.

Heavenly Yuan (天元): Absorbing the Yang Gang Qi (阳罡之气) from the heavens and the earth. Ultimately, the balance of Yin and Yang is required to condense a Yuan Dan (元丹). Yang Gang Qi is also divided into levels, similar to Yin Fiend Qi. The Heavenly Yuan Realm is divided into three stages: Early, Middle, and Late.

Yuan Dan (元丹): The Yin and Yang Qi within the body intertwine to form a Yuan Dan. This realm also has levels, with one star being the lowest and nine stars being the highest. The final quality of the Yuan Dan also depends on the level of Yin Fiend Qi and Yang Gang Qi absorbed. Yuan Dan Realm experts can levitate briefly but cannot fly freely. The Yuan Dan Realm is divided into three stages: Minor Yuan Dan, Yuan Dan Lesser Perfection, and Yuan Dan Greater Perfection.

Creation (造化): Divided into three realms: Shaping (造形), Qi Creation (造气), and Creation (造化). Each realm is further divided into Lesser Success (小成) and Greater Success (大成). The gap between Lesser Success and Greater Success is very large.

Nirvana (涅槃): The danger of impacting Nirvana is extremely high. Failure means death, and there are nine Nirvana transformations, each facing life and death. Successful Nirvana increases lifespan and greatly increases strength.

Life Profound (生玄): This realm requires condensing Yuan Power into Life Energy (生气). Divided into three stages: Minor Success (小成), Greater Success (大成), and Perfection (圆满).

Death Profound (死玄): This realm requires condensing Yuan Power into Death Energy (死气). Divided into three stages: Minor Success (小成), Greater Success (大成), and Perfection (圆满).

Reincarnation (转轮): This realm combines Life Energy and Death Energy, creating a cycle of life and death. This realm is equivalent to Dou Zun (斗尊) in Battle Through the Heavens.

Reincarnation (轮回): Entering the Reincarnation Realm is already a peak existence in the world. In a sense, it can be seen as controlling life and death, and even time is difficult to erode them. For super-strong Reincarnation Realm individuals, if the Reincarnation Tribulation (轮回劫) fails, they can use divine powers to preserve a trace of spirituality, enter transmigration reincarnation, and wait for the opportunity for Nirvana. There are Three Tribulation Reincarnations (三重劫轮回). Corresponds to Dou Sheng (斗圣) in Battle Through the Heavens.

Ancestral Realm (祖境): Enter the Ancestral Realm after passing through the Three Tribulation Reincarnations. From ancient times to the present, only Symbol Ancestor has reached this realm. Corresponds to Dou Di (斗帝) in Battle Through the Heavens.

Spirit Master (符师)

Five-Seal Spirit Master (五印符师): The initial level of Spirit Master, divided into five seals. A one-seal Spirit Master must at least reach the Earthly Yuan Realm, corresponding to Yuan Power Earthly Yuan Realm ~ Yuan Dan Greater Perfection.

Spiritual Rune Master (灵符师): At this level, the natal talisman has spirituality. Experts at this level can move mountains and overturn seas with a single thought. When fighting, they can move a mountain with just a thought. Spiritual Rune Masters are divided into High, Middle, and Low, corresponding to the three realms of Creation.

Heavenly Rune Master (天符师): Experts at this level can control the power of heaven and earth for their own use. Heavenly Rune Masters are divided into One-Seal to Nine-Seal, corresponding to the nine Nirvana transformations.

Immortal Rune Master (仙符师): Divided into Lesser Success Immortal Rune Master and Greater Success Immortal Rune Master, corresponding to the Life and Death Profound Realms.

Rune Sect (符宗): Divided into Lesser Rune Sect and Greater Rune Sect. This is the dividing line for the spiritual power cultivation stage. Once entered, the power of spiritual power will be fully unfolded. Before Rune Sect, the strength of spiritual power may be slightly inferior to the majestic Yuan Power. Only by entering the Rune Sect level can a Lesser Rune Sect potentially display more powerful or not weaker power than an ordinary Reincarnation Realm expert. After entering Greater Rune Sect, the strength is already firmly above some ordinary Reincarnation Realm experts. The early, middle, and late stages of Greater Rune Sect correspond to the Three Reincarnation Tribulations of the Reincarnation Realm.

Half-Step God Palace Realm (半步神宫境): After breaking through Rune Sect, some talented people, although unable to successfully condense the God Palace, can enter this realm. For example, the Holy Dragon Emperor of the Land and the Ice Master… belong to this level.

God Palace Realm (神宫境): Condensing the God Palace in the spiritual world. Very few people have reached this realm, equivalent to the peak of the Three Reincarnation Tribulations of Yuan Power. From ancient times to the present, only Symbol Ancestor, Ice Master, and Lin Dong have reached this realm on the Heavenly Profound Continent.
