Chapter 12: Facts, Immortal Stages and Tressure Ranks_The Bull Transcending Immortality and Godhood

I shall use an unconventional approach to turning a chapter into some information you should know. However, beware of spoilers. Even if you skip this chapter, you will not lose track of the story.

First and foremost, I recently discovered that there is no ' male cow'; thus, the title has been changed to a 'bull' or 'male cattle' in several chapters. We learn something every day.

Secondly, we will learn about power levels and other important miscellaneous things.

Normally, potential starts at 100+ to 700+ Spiritual Channels (Potential depends on body constitution, bloodline, consumed elixirs in early years, age, race and perception of an individual.)

The potential of over 800 is exceptional and rarely seen. It is unlikely that the potential will expand beyond 800+ Spiritual Channels.

Potential estimations:

Below 100 Spiritual Channels: Trash Potential (Attempting to cultivate leads to death.) - If the number of spiritual channels is fewer than 100, opening them guarantees death because the body will require more spiritual energy to stabilize while the supply will be insufficient. Many mortals are born with less than 100 spiritual channels, which is why the world has more mortals than immortals.

100+ Channels might reach = Spiritual seed shaping

200+ Channels might reach = Spiritual Seed Nurturing

300+ Channels might reach = Soul germination

400+ Channels might reach = Soul Unification

500+ might reach = Undying body

600+ to 700+ might reach = True immortal

2000+ might reach = Immortal God

To achieve the Ancestral God stage, at least 19000 spiritual channels are needed, which is extremely unlikely for living beings to have.

Treasures are divided into five grades.

Treasure ranks:

-Mortal grade (Common for both mortal and immortal cultivators within the Channel Opening, Vitality Roots, and Spiritual Seed Shaping stages.)

-High grade (Common among immortal cultivators at the Spiritual Seed Nurturing, Soul Germination, and Soul Perfection stages. It is considered garbage in the upper realm.)

-Superior grade (It possesses a spirit. Common among immortal cultivators during the Soul Unification and Undying Body stages. Though precious in the lower realm, it is seen as common in the higher realm.)

-Celestial grade (It possesses a conscious spirit and is capable of thinking and communicating. Immortal cultivators in the True Immortal stage find it valuable, whereas Immortal God cultivators find it common. Though valuable in the upper realm, it is miraculous in the lower realm.)

-God grade (It can shapeshift into a humanoid body. Extremely rare in the upper realm and unknown in the lower realm.)

[Immortal Levels]

0.01 - Channel Opening stage: Mortals can open spiritual channels via the cultivation method. Only creatures are capable of forcefully opening spiritual channels without the use of a cultivation method, but even a beast must utilize one.
