Nou I guess stages could work... I will skim through once I get my tablet,(if I remember) cause I stopped reading stellar transformations after everything went white for him and the lady voice was explaining everything to him. So as soon as I open the ebook I should be close to the part where the dude talks to him, we shall find out what it is called.
Oh just remembered....
@Neverfire7 @zswaleh Remember to include the any spiritual planes in the novels as well because I think some of the novels have different cultivation stages in different planes.... I think it was Realms in Firmament(this might be the wrong one cause there were two novels that had the same premise except one was sickly young master in his previous life and had all the knowledge the other was an assasin that hated all the rich people and they end up killing him) where the dude crash landed in a fopish young dude from a different plane but still the same world? Never understood that so maybe that can be explained too?
The cultivation in that novel was very confusing and half the time I was sure the Translator/Editor was incorrectly using the name of one stage to mention the other even though MC explained them as worlds apart but using same name. (Haven't read it in a while so I'm foggy and it might have been a different translation cause it wasn't QI)
