★Martial Realms/Ranks★

I am just posting them here so there won't be any problems in future, they are based on the OG novel,

[A/N : I will edit and add more info and details later, and further explain about the details and changes after each realm, but only after the MC reaches them or fights someone in that realm to avoid spoiling the story]

• Third Rate -> Second Rate -> First Rate -> Peak/Master

• Master Realm is also known as [Mortal Peak], and from [Master] realm, the next 'Realms' are further divided into 3 'Sub-Realms' they are :

• Entry -> Proficient -> Peak.

[A/N : The ones mentioned in 'brackets' are how other 'Murim' factions or people associated with other 'Murim' factions other than 'Demonic Sect' call them]

• Master -> Supermaster / Grandmaster (Transcended) -> Superiormaster (Unrestrained) -> Suprememaster (Profound)

• After Suprememaster, there are no 'Sub-Realms', only major realms and they each require 'Enlightenment' to overcome/surpass and breakthrough after each passing realm,

• -> Divine Master / Life and Death Realm (Creation) -> Heavenly Master / Natural Realm (Deity) -> Void Master (Sage)

• There are many ways to reach 'Heavenly Master' Realm but they all are dangerous to reach except for reaching by gaining 'enlightenment' in the laws of 'nature',

• After reaching Void Realm one has to comprehend laws of 'space' and 'time' and 'ascend' to reach Will Realm (Godhood)

• -> Ascension / Will Realm / Willful Realm (Godhood)
