Immortal Grade (transcendent artifacts from beyond Emperor Ascension Realm, legendary)
4. Demon / Devil / Ghost Cultivation Realms
(Demons/devils/ghosts map to human realms but are generally more powerful than average humans at the same realm due to innate demonic energy, resilient souls, or ethereal forms. They often excel in soul attacks, regeneration, or illusion-based abilities.)

Saint Rank (sect master / ancient inheritance techniques)
Emperor Rank (forbidden or sovereign-level techniques)
Immortal Rank (transcendent techniques from beyond the mortal realm)
6. Spirit Root Grades / Qualities
(Spirit roots determine cultivation talent: speed of qi absorption/refinement, comprehension of techniques/Dao, and maximum potential limit. Higher grades allow faster progress, deeper insights, and the ability to reach advanced realms without bottlenecks.)
Mortal Grade (slow cultivation speed, low comprehension talent, limited potential; usually caps at Qi Condensation Realm / early Foundation Establishment Realm)
Earth Grade (medium cultivation speed, decent comprehension talent, good potential; can reach Foundation Establishment Realm → Core Formation Realm with effort and resources)
Heaven Grade (fast cultivation speed, high comprehension talent, excellent potential; can reach Nascent Soul Realm or higher with proper guidance)
Immortal Grade (prodigious cultivation speed, supreme comprehension talent, unlimited potential; almost guaranteed Dao Integration Realm or higher, often with unique affinities or mutations)
7. Pill / Elixir Grades
(Pill grades are divided into two categories: one based on quality (purity, efficacy, and refinement level), and one based on intended usage (which cultivation realms they benefit most, with higher realms requiring stronger pills to avoid backlash).)
Pill Grades Based on Quality
Mortal Quality (low purity, basic ingredients, high risk of minor impurities/turbid qi buildup)
Spirit Quality (medium purity, refined ingredients, minimal side effects)
Earth Quality (high purity, strong efficacy, very low impurities)
Heaven Quality (superior purity, near-perfect refinement, no side effects)
Saint Quality (elite purity, rare materials, enhances beyond basic effects)
Emperor Quality (supreme purity, legendary ingredients, transformative effects)
Pill Grades Based on Intended Usage
Body Tempering Realm Pills (basic strengthening, bone/muscle hardening; e.g., Bone Forging Pill)
Qi Condensation Realm Pills (qi gathering/refinement, minor layer breakthroughs; e.g., Qi Gathering Pill)
Foundation Establishment Realm Pills (qi pillar stabilization, meridian clearing; e.g., Foundation Pill)
Core Formation Realm Pills (core condensation, qi compression; e.g., Golden Core Pill)
Nascent Soul Realm Pills (soul infant nourishment, soul strengthening; e.g., Nascent Soul Pill)
Void Step Realm Pills (spatial law comprehension, void energy absorption; e.g., Void Essence Pill)
Dao Integration Realm Pills (Dao harmony, law fusion; e.g., Dao Integration Pill)
Sovereign Realm Pills (domain creation/refinement; e.g., Sovereign Domain Pill)
Emperor Ascension Realm Pills (transcendence support, heavenly dao resistance; e.g., Ascension Pill)

Spirit World / Middle Plane (higher qi density, sect-dominated continents)
Immortal Realm / Upper Plane (home of Dao Integration Realm → Emperor Ascension Realm beings)
Chaos Realm / Void Beyond (origin of chaos roots, forbidden zones)
Heavenly Domain (where Emperor Ascension Realm beings challenge heavenly dao)
