Neverfire7 People progress through the hierarchy in the military all the time. They start out maybe a cadet who can at most assemble a gun then they become generals and crap. It fits.

We could go with Cultivation System that sounds right, but "ranks" definitely didn't sound like the official name of it as a whole, individually sure.

    Flaffy i think u got the perfect word without knowing ,lol. i say we go with (Cultivation System.)

    Hmmm but Cultivation System seems to reek of things like "Body refining", "Qi refining", "Devils Path", "Starlight Refining", etc. They're just different ways of cultivating. Different systems. Like using the "Five Elements", "Blood Qi", or Yao/Mo/Ling/Shen methods.

    Maybe instead of "Cultivation System", we go with "Cultivation Levels"?

      Nou That could work my only thing with that is there are sometimes levels within those levels. Depending on the novel. Like you have the Houtian realm and then it has levels within that and it's literally called levels in some novels.
      I do not under stand what you mean by reeks of those things, that is literally a way to cultivate, making it a technique or cultivation manual it's more specific on the way of cultivation than the system that it is. In certain worlds the system can be purely inner strength training that is not called qi or anything like that just power accumulated from magic power in the world. It might not even have a level, it might just be that they visualize something and poof it appears! The better you visualize the more power you have (I think you know the novels which I speak). Maybe calling it like a Power System? I want a word that describes all of the systems so that it can then be broken down further into those types of cultivation you speak.

      It will be confusing to call the Whole of the Cultivation in that world as 'Ranks' Or 'Levels' and then go to the next novel and mention those ranks without first defining what it is. I am looking for a word that covers the the progression of cultivation.
      I know there is a word for it. I just don't remember it. I have a feeling that it was mentioned by the guy who left behind his inheritance in Stellar Transformations. Because he had been to many worlds and I think he called it something specific.

      I think it starts with an 'I'....maybe....

      What if we called them "Path to Transcendence"? No that sounds weird...

        Oddly enough, I've read Stellar Transformation back in the He-man days. I don't think I can remember that term either.

        But in the meatime, do we want to call it Cultivation Stages? (Just throwing more and more suggestions out there until one sticks)

          i like cultivation stages name

            Nou It's not sticking for me like a carp thou

            Ayyy........ i'm bad ;-;

              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)

                Flaffy I'm just here to look like I'm doing something :) but I'll keep that in mind. I think that is Realms of Firmament

                  Neverfire7 LMAO. I am making the qidian one to redirect to your wikia for the cultivation OMG!!!!

                  YOU GENIUS NEVERFIRE!!!

                  WE can call them Cultivation Realms!!! "The Cultivation Realm of the following novel has such and such levels and stages with the following techiniques" OMG ITS GOLD!!!!

                  @Nou How does that sound to you Cultivation Realms of the novels? There is one Cultivation Realm that consists of the spiritual planes, and has specific Cultivation Paths and spiritual manuals etc.

                    Flaffy it was the human emperor and an assassin one, don't remember the name though. so basically there are 3 of them, son of a general and all the original son were players and useless.

                      zswaleh No I never read Human Emperor, it was called something with Monarch, I remember cause the dude kept saying he was the son of so and so and he had a sickly body and then when he reincarnated he was in a coffin cause he farted at the sickly daughter of the king holy ritual, and then was flogged to death. And a fatty came and cried all over him, which cause him to reveal himself and he was all excited cause his new body could cultivate.

                      The other dude was a killer from the transcended place above that mortals don't necessarily know about, and after he killed these guys that took all the cultivation resources some big dudes came to kill him, and then he was in the body of some other dude in the mortal area and he had a fatty friend? No he had....2 friends and an annoying fiance? I think he was called Jang? Or maybe Fang? dude I suck at remembering. Anyhow I remember he had two friends cause he stole this thing from one of his friends house, yes! And he absorbed it into his body and he like absorbs all the precious items and his mind spits out stuff... omg I wonder what happened to the egg that was there... I need to read that cause I never found out if he hatched the egg....

                        Flaffy second one is firmament in the 3 realms, the third is human emperor and the fourth is an assassin in the same situation-ish, don't remember the title

                          zswaleh LOL! That sounds familiar. But look at that yo. realms....! Realms in Firmament Sovereign of the 3 Realms, ITS THE PERFECT WORD!!!! Like dude.... all I was doing was thinking really hard about what to call these things and it drops right in my lap as I'm talking about planes!

                          Omg so awesome. I am a genius!

                            Flaffy lol, sovereign of the 3 realms was my first novel for cultivation ranks.

                              zswaleh hmmm.... I wonder what mine was.... So many of these novels blend yo....I think it was Stellar Transformations though....for me...no no well yes. I read dulou dalu as a webcomic never as novel before I read any novels. In facts it was because whats that thing called.....the one by Mad Snail.....Tale of Demons and Gods? That one had extremely slow chapters for webcomic so i decided to try the novel, utter failure. So let me check my tablet for the true novel one sec.

                                Flaffy zswaleh According to my tablet I downloaded Mushoku Tensei In September 2016. Followed by I Shall Seal the Heavens and Realms in Firmament in October, same day download i don't know the order I read them in but oh well.

                                  Klepar @zswaleh @Neverfire7 OMG EVERYONE HAS A WIKIA THEY DONT DO ANYTHING WITH!!! LMAO!!!

                                  This is mine. http://qinovels.wikia.com/wiki/Qidian_Novels_Wiki
                                  I was going to list every novel and it's wikia attached with the link to the cultivation realm for that novel. Since some novels already have a wikia. Library of Heavens Path certainly does and it's full of stuff dudes!! Even has the Cultivation stuff already mapped out threshed out.

                                  I only got two novels on mine but it's better than yurs! I thought mine was bad![insert evil smile] I feel better about my wikia now.

                                    Flaffy What can I say... Only after making the wikia did I think that I'd rather waste my time on something else, since it seemed to be like too much work.

                                      Klepar Lmao I thought so too until I realized only one page is excessive takes like 2 hours to do, but after you set up the format its copy paste from page to page.

                                        Flaffy hate mad snail, he ruined novels for me for a bit, like a month didn't read, so angry.

                                          Flaffy fucking stops novel midway and completely abandons them after getting bored with them, cult of the sacred runes and tales of demons and gods , he goes from 2 chapters a day to once a week to once a month to finish a novel in 50 - 100 chapter for a novel that should have taken several hundreds maybe 1000. so fuck him. He should stop writing if he keeps doing this shit.

                                          on a side note do u read this novel https://www.novelupdates.com/series/otoko-nara-ikkokuichijou-no-aruji-o-mezasa-nakya-ne/.

                                          i wanna know what happens to the sister of Alan/alein greed.

                                            zswaleh Is her name Alan? I think its more like Elaine in english than Alan.

                                              Flaffy meh, hey so i finished reading the fishing myriad to the raw last chapter. trying to find the raw for this, even changed the name to Chinese and i cant seem to find it, checked NU but it has no chapter so no Chinese name. here is the novel , hep plz.

                                              https://www.webnovel.com/book/8324021706000105#

                                                Flaffy her name is Will Greed, her brother is Alan Greed(mc). can't seem to get into it.

                                                  zswaleh Maybe only qidian has the RAWs and no one shared it? I mean look at the authors name for crying out loud, Snake swallows Whale? No offense but if they translated that directly from chinese.... pffft.

                                                  I would prefer if they just kept it in the Chinese sound cause at least then it might have sounded better in english as a name than that. If he actually wants to be known as snake swallows whale, what all can I say? The english gogole database does not acknowledge this person, nor his novel so I think it's a safe bet to say it aint been release to the english database, if there are RAWS other than on qidian.

                                                    zswaleh Her name is not Will, Will is the boys name! I got down to the bottom of this!

                                                    【Milhaear Greed/26/2/7425】(TL: help her name is weird ミルハイア)

                                                    【Woman/2/2/7424 Greed Family First born daughter】

                                                    【Body condition: Good】

                                                    Her name is Mill! like Milliah

                                                    Flaffy already read to 200, from lnmtl. gonna be boring after 100, hope u endure and like it. i will try to reread it again.
