In this cultivation world, a person's strength was generally categorized into eight major tiers. Each tier was nicknamed as "Stage" so everybody could compare their strength with their peers.
The eight stages were as follows;
1st stage – Muscle Tempering Stage
2nd stage – Qi Condensation Stage
3rd stage - Foundation Establishment Stage
4th stage – Golden Core Stage
5th stage – Nascent Soul Stage
6th stage – Soul Formation Stage
7th stage – Soul Transformation Stage
8th stage – Quasi Immortal Stage
Each major stage was separated into nine minor ranks. Everybody started at the first rank. After a cultivator accumulated enough Qi, their rank naturally rose.
