Dou Realms
Dou Disciple (Dou Zhi Qi)
The very beginning of Dou Cultivation.
Dou Practitioner(Dou Zhe)
Upon reaching this stage, a Dou Fighter can truly utilize the Dou Qi within their own bodies.
Dou Master(Dou Shi)
Once this stage is attained, a Fighter can use the Dou Qi in their body to form a cloak giving increased defensive strength.
Dou Grandmaster(Da Dou Shi)
It is at this point when a Practitioner's Dou Qi becomes hard enough to form an armament.
Dou Spirit(Dou Ling)
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.
Dou King(Dou Wang)
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.
Dou Emperor(Dou Huang)
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.
Dou Ancestor(Dou Zong)
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.
Dou Venerate(Dou Zun)
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 characterized by the ability to form wormholes (Gaps in spacetime).
Half-Saint(Ban Sheng)
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 Initial, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.
Dou Saint(Dou Sheng)
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.
Dou God(Dou Di)
Dou Di is the highest realm of Dou Qi cultivation in the Dou Qi Continent, equivalent to the Sovereign Stage in the Great Thousand World. A Dou Di has the ability to change their own bloodline, benefiting their descendants, and can single-handedly revive an entire race. They can absorb the heavens and earth into their bodies, forming the Dou Di Body towering tens of thousands of zhangs high, with power capable of piercing through the heavens.
Dou Technique (Skill) Ranking
Huang (Yellow): This is the first rank skill class and within each skill there is a further subclass as low/mid/high.
Xuan (Black): This is the second rank skill category. A High Xuan and Di class may merely have a one level distance, but the gap was just like that of the Heavens and the Earth. Most Xuan class Dou Techniques relied on the personal strength of the user to unleash its strength. However, a Di class Dou Technique was already able to rely on the natural energy to achieve an extermination-like destructive strength. One was a person and the other was the Heavens and Earth. There was basically no comparison between the two.
Di (Earth): This is the third rank skill class. Though Di Level was only one grade better than High Xuan Level, the distance between the two was as wide as the grand canyon. With enough wealth and a bit of luck, one could occasionally obtain a High Xuan Dou Technique from a high-ranking auction. Yet a Di Level Dou Technique could be said to be priced beyond the market as it was once heard that in the imperial capital of Jia Ma Empire, the price of a Di Level Dou Technique had rocketed to a sky-high price of about ten million, which was equivalent to an entire year of taxes from the entire Jia Ma Empire.Although it was merely one grade of difference, the price between the two was more than a hundred times. From this it could be seen that Xuan Level and Di Level were two completely different concepts.
Tian (Heaven): This is the fourth rank skill class, it is the highest and most powerful skill class and as with each skill class there is a further subclass as low/mid/high.
