These are the ranks used to describe the strength of a cultivator, including demon beasts. The same ranks are used no matter the type of cultivation method, though sometimes the names are slightly different.
It can be inferred from context that the Sage Emperor that Nie Li refers to from his previous life was most likely at a currently unknown, higher rank of Cultivation.[1] He also states that someone of this rank could live to be two to three hundred years old, but immortality is still not possible.[2]
Beyond legend rank is the Heavenly Fate Realm. Previously Nie Li did not believe that humans of this world could reach the Heavenly Fate Realm, only demon beasts. However, he later learned that one could break into this realm by cultivating a law and becoming a Spiritual God.[3] In this way they merge with a law from the heavens and earth. Even if their physical body is destroyed and their Divine Spark scattered. As long as the heavens and earth still exist they would be immortal.[4]
Past Martial Ancestor, starting with Deity ranks in this final stretch are part of a group called the "Heavenly Dao". Nie Li is stated to have been reaching near the peak of it during his past life (presumably conquering it right before he reincarnated). Furthermore, the Sage Emperor is stated to have thousands of servants, the Deity Rank Demon Beast Generals in particular, that are above the mid-level of it.[5]
