NOVEL NEXT Realms/Ranks
[First World: Battle Through the Heavens]
This is a ranking according to how strong the person is. In this land whoever has strength, has dignity. Without strength you are nothing. 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 Practitioner will rank up to Dou Master 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.
1. Dou Zhi Qi/Dou Disciple
The very beginning of Dou Cultivation.
2. Dou Zhe/Dou Practitioner
Upon reaching this stage, a Dou Fighter can truly utilize the Dou Qi within their own bodies.
3. Dou Shi/Dou Master
Once this stage is attained, a Fighter can use the Dou Qi in their body to form a cloak giving increased defensive strength.
4. Da Dou Shi/Dou Grandmaster
It is at this point when a Practitioner's Dou Qi becomes hard enough to form an armament.
5. Dou Ling/Dou Spirit
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/Dou King
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/Dou Emperor
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/Dou Ancestor
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/Dou Venerate
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/Half-Saint
This is a transitional stage of the higher level cultivation realms. It is not considered a true Dou State, 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/Dou Saint
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/Dou God
The Dou Di is a mythical ranking, high above all others/Heavenly Sovereign Equivalent
