The Heavenly Realm Late Stage was the final threshold for Heavenly Realm cultivators within this realm.
Of course.
If one wanted a more detailed classification,
one could add the minor realm of Great Perfection after the Late Stage.
The cultivation system of the Myriad Heavens differed from that of the Lesser Thousand Worlds. Thus, although its upper limit was higher—the strongest beings openly known were Heavenly Sovereigns, a major realm above the Dou Emperors who were theoretically the strongest in the lower worlds, and there was even the theoretical Dominator Realm, placing its overall ceiling two levels above the Lesser Thousand Worlds—it did not mean that the Myriad Heavens classified every cultivation realm more precisely than the Lesser Thousand Worlds.
Take the Dou Qi Continent as an example.
The Dou Qi Continent had detailed classifications from one star to nine stars.
That was, One Star Dou Zhe, Two Star Dou Zhe, Three Star Dou Zhe, all the way to Nine Star Dou Zhe, ensuring that cultivators had a clear understanding of their own realms and could state with certainty what realm they were currently in.
However, the Myriad Heavens only divided cultivation realms into three stages.
Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage.
If Great Perfection was included, that made four.
The reason this classification was considered vague was mainly because these four divisions were far too broad. By the standards of the Dou Qi Continent, the Early Stage in the Myriad Heavens corresponded to one through three stars, the Middle Stage corresponded to four, five, and six stars, while the Late Stage covered Seven Stars, Eight Stars, and Nine Stars. Great Perfection, meanwhile, referred exclusively to Nine Stars. Thus, in the Myriad Heavens' classification, the Late Stage included Great Perfection. However, people were different. No two people's Great Perfection
