In Buddhism, he was one of the top ten disciples under Shakyamuni Buddha and was famous for his understanding of emptiness. His level was the same as Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors. They were all immortals at the level of super big shots. Patriarch Bodhi played an important role in Zen. He was on the same level as Master Huike, Master Shenxiu, Master Daoxin, Master Huairang, Master Huineng, and others. Together, they established the status of Zen in Chinese Buddhism. Although the true identity and level of Patriarch Bodhi were not explained in the original novel of Journey to the West, one could understand his important position in Buddhism and the immortal system through relevant information.

A great grandmaster referred to a master whose martial strength exceeded the ninth-level in the work " Celebrating Years." It was the peak level that a human could reach. They were described as invincible existences who could fight against a small army by themselves. A great grandmaster had martial strength beyond the ninth grade and was one of the few peerless experts. However, there was an insurmountable gap between the strength of a Great Grandmaster and a Rank-9. The strength of a Rank-9 expert was far from that of a Great Grandmaster. Although great grandmasters were described as invincible existences in " Celebrating Years," they actually had their own limitations. The strength of a grandmaster was developed through the use of nuclear radiation. Although it could protect a region, it was not an invincible existence. To sum up, the Great Grandmaster in Qingyu was equivalent to a top-notch master above the ninth level. He was one of the very few peerless masters. As the search results provided did not have a clear division of strength, they could not give a more specific answer.

However, different novels or works mentioned in other search results might have different grading standards. For example, the level of great grandmaster in " Celebrating Years " was the highest level above the ninth grade.

According to the story of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's master, Bodhi, and the future Bodhi were not the same person. In the Journey to the West, Patriarch Bodhi was a talented disciple of Taoism who was sent to the human world to teach Taoism. Sun Wukong heard about the existence of Patriarch Bodhi on his way to the scriptures and received guidance from Patriarch Bodhi because he asked the patriarch to give him a positive fruit. However, in Buddhism, Patriarch Bodhi was regarded as a master of Zen and was the disciple of the fifth ancestor of Zen, Hongren, not a Taoist figure. In the future, Bodhi referred to the founder of Zen Buddhism. He was one of the teachers of Buddha Sakyamuni and was considered one of the origins of Zen Buddhism. In Buddhism, Patriarch Bodhi was regarded as a symbol of wisdom and enlightenment. He was respectfully called "Patriarch Bodhi" or "Bodhi Buddha" and was a very famous master in Buddhism.
The gap between a Level Nine expert and a Great Grandmaster was described as a world of difference in " Celebrating Years ". The Great Grandmaster was almost at the top of the entire human world, and his strength far exceeded that of a Level Nine expert. Although a ninth-level master was powerful, he was often powerless when facing a Great Grandmaster. This difference was not only reflected in strength, but also in the understanding and application of martial arts. It was difficult for a ninth-grade expert to reach the realm of a Great Grandmaster. There was no mention of the exact size of the gap.
A Great Grandmaster was a realm above a Level Nine expert. It belonged to the boundary between man and God. The strength of a Level Nine expert was already very strong, and he could not be hurt by anyone below Level Nine. Only a martial grandmaster or someone with powerful black technology weapons that could kill gods, such as the Barrett sniper rifle and laser eyes, could defeat a martial grandmaster. In " Celebrating Years," other than the experts on the surface, there were six hidden experts. Their strength was close to the ceiling. The specific division of strength was not explicitly mentioned, but according to the information provided, it could be inferred that the Great Grandmaster was an existence above the ninth-grade master.

He could even kill up to 30 Level Nine experts without getting hurt. Therefore, martial grandmasters could be seen as the dividing line between humans and gods.
