This is a ranking according to how strong the person is. As you train your Dou Qi level you gain status and rank, within each Dou Qi rank there are sub ranks indicated as stars, when you reach nine stars you have the potential to rank up. e.g. - a Nine-Star Dou Zhe will rank up to Dou Shi with his next Dou Qi increase. The gap between each stars will increase as each one pass each rank and the rate of increase would also increase.
Dou Qi Cultivation:
1. Dou Zhi Qi
The very beginning of Dou Cultivation.
2. Dou Zhe
Upon reaching this stage, a Dou Zhe can truly utilise the Dou Qi within their own bodies.
3. Dou Shi
Once this stage is attained, a Dou Shi can use the Dou Qi in their body to form a cloak giving increased defensive strength.
4. Da Dou Shi
It is at this point when a Practitioner's Dou Qi becomes hard enough to form an armament.
5. Dou Ling
It's considered a decent enough state to be in where a person's Dou Qi will solidify and it becomes possible to apply it to other objects.
6. Dou Wang
At the time when a person reaches this stage, they will be able to form Dou Qi wings and even draw Dou Qi from around themselves. While this amount is not very large, it can still be useful in a fight.
7. Dou Huang
A step into the realm of the truly strong is attained once one reaches this stage. These existences can draw on massive amounts of Dou Qi from the area and briefly hold themselves in the air without wings.
8. Dou Zong
A pinnacle existence among most minor clans, a Dou Zong gains the ability to utilise the mysterious 'Spatial Strength' to do things like hold oneself in air or even create locks in space, where a person can only escape after breaking the lock. However, this method exhausts a vast amount of Dou Qi.
9. Dou Zun
A strong person no matter where one goes, the Dou Zun gains an almost perfect knowledge of the so-called 'Spatial Strength', and is able to use it in a far more versatile manner than any Dou Zong ever could. This class is characterised by the ability to form wormholes (Gaps in spacetime).
10. Ban Sheng
This is a transitional stage of the higher level cultivation realms. It is not considered a true Dou Sheng, but is still necessary to enter the extremely strong Dou Sheng class. It is divided into the lower, intermediate, and high levels.
11. Dou Sheng
A peak existence among even top tier powerhouses, the Dou Sheng is a realm so broken that logic starts to fail here. A one star Dou Sheng can easily overpower dozens of Ban Sheng, a two star can easily defeat a one star, and so on. Upon attaining the sixth star, a Practitioner can open a separate realm for others to inhabit, and the seventh can utilise all the Dou Qi within those realms, effectively becoming the world. A nine star Dou Sheng is representative of the peak of the world, with no other existence coming close to that. Any casual action of a Dou Sheng can demolish cities, shatter mountains, and destroy space itself.
12. Dou Di, Ancestral Realm, Quasi - Heavenly Supreme
The Dou Di is a mythical ranking, high above all others.
13. Heavenly Supreme
Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme
Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme
Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme
Heavenly Sovereigns, the most esteemed level in the Great Thousand World. Many Earthly Sovereigns will never even breach the Heavenly Sovereign level in their entire lives. It is a extremely hard level to enter. One's spiritual energy destroys mountains and shake seas with the slightest touch, one's body is near immortal, the ripples of space cannot damage one's body. Heavenly Sovereigns are called heavenly due to their immense power that is considered godly in the eyes of many. Heavenly Sovereigns are always very high ranking elders, perhaps even a leader of a giant faction. However, even among the few Heavenly Sovereigns, few can reach the level of the true legend, such as Flame Emperor Xiao Yan and Martial Ancestor Lin Dong.
14. Ruler, Third Sequence of God Realm
15. Great Ruler, Second Sequence of God Realm
16. First Sequence of God Realm
Soul Cultivation:
𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹/𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹 : Ranging from 1st to 7th Tier Alchemists.
𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁: For 8th Tier Alchemists.
𝗧𝗶𝗮𝗻 (𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻): Divided into 3 stages first, mid and peak. This is the minimum level of soul power required for one to become a 9th Grade Alchemists.
At the peak heaven level, it could span for about 10 thousand miles, also in this stage, the soul can become as strong as the body.
Di (Emperor): Can span for hundred thousands of miles. Achieving Di stage however is easier than making a Di Tier Pill or becoming a Dou Di.
