Some readers have mentioned they find the martial arts realms and demon ranks a bit confusing, so I'll take this chapter to explain the martial arts realms and demon ranks that are known thus far in the text.

Martial Arts Realms:

Body Refining Stage, Blood Refining Stage, Gathering Breath Stage, Meridian Opening Stage, External Qi Stage, Vajra Stage, Gang Qi Stage, Returning to True Stage, Hundred Orifices Stage, Innate Stage, Divine Connection Stage.

The Divine Connection Stage is not the limit; if higher realms are mentioned later in the text, I will update the information here. Each major realm is divided into four minor stages: early, middle, late, and great perfection.

Demon Ranks:

Trickster (the lowest level, equivalent to Human Clan warriors at the Body Refining Stage and Blood Refining Stage)

Panic Level (equivalent to Human Clan warriors from the Gathering Breath Stage to the Meridian Opening Stage)

Specter Level (equivalent to Human Clan warriors from the External Qi Stage to the Vajra Stage)

Sin Level (equivalent to Human Clan warriors from the Gang Qi Stage to the Returning to True Stage)

Disaster Level (equivalent to Human Clan warriors from the Separation Stage to the Hundred Orifices Stage)

Nether Level (equivalent to Human Clan warriors from the Innate Stage to the Divine Connection Stage)

Lastly, there is one more thing I'd like to share with everyone. Some readers might wonder why the protagonist's cultivation progress over decades or even a hundred years is inferior to others.

The worldview of this book is as follows: Every year of cultivation for the protagonist equates to the accumulation a martial artist of ordinary talent would gain in a year, which is worth one point of cultivation value.

However, in this book, geniuses differ from ordinary people. Some genius martial artists can cultivate in one day what takes an ordinary person a month, or even three months, and sometimes even one or two years.

The disparity in talent leads to differences in cultivation levels. The higher the talent, the faster the accumulation of cultivation and the quicker the breakthroughs in realms, resulting in a more profound internal cultivation.

This book is not the kind that features an utterly invincible protagonist who suppresses everything right from the appearance, a protagonist without any rivals can only be considered semi-invulnerable; the protagonist still needs to cultivate.

Because the author believes that if it were a story about complete invincibility, there would be nothing to write about once the protagonist stepped into the scene, which would be less interesting.

For more specific details, I invite everyone to read and experience for themselves. As a new author, there are certainly aspects I might not have fully considered, and I hope for everyone's understanding and thank everyone for their support.
