The Rotating Pill Realm is divided into three stages: early, middle, and late.
Unlike in the True Qi Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm, where the power disparity between minor stages is not too great, upon entering the Rotating Pill Realm, as one begins to comprehend the five major Heavenly Void Laws, the Power of Laws becomes increasingly formidable in the latter stages, making the gap in strength between each stage an almost insurmountable chasm.
It's precisely for this reason that sect rankings within the Barbaric Wilderness Continent are divided by the stage of the Rotating Pill cultivators they host: sects with early-stage cultivators are merely seventh-rank, those with middle-stage cultivators directly become sixth-rank, and sects with late-stage cultivators reach the status of a fifth-rank!
Within the upper realms among the Divine Phoenix Clan, this disparity is even more pronounced.
