Biodata

Feature	Details
Name	Grandmaster
Original	大宗师
Occupation/Role	High-level martial arts cultivation realm
First Appearance	A Grandmaster is first referenced as the level Bai Yan reaches after receiving the Thirteen Layers of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art. 1

Relative position	Place in the hierarchy
Master	The realm immediately below the Grandmaster threshold; breaking the Master bottleneck is described as entering the Grandmaster realm. 126
Half-step Grandmaster	A transitional level described as one step away from Grandmaster. 121
Grandmaster	A realm separated from Innate practitioners by an “uncrossable chasm.” 53
Peak Grandmaster	The highest documented stage within the realm; peak Grandmasters may pursue higher realms. 108 124
Half-step Heavenly Human	A level far beyond peak Grandmaster, allowing its practitioners to initially sense and briefly borrow the power of heaven and earth. 184

Grandmasters wield True Essence at a level that allows them to suppress lesser Martial Artists through sheer pressure; the aura of a Grandmaster can make hundreds of armed guards tremble involuntarily. 143
They are regarded as “foes of ten thousand men,” capable of opposing armies numbering in the thousands. 143
Ordinary Innate Martial Artists can generally exchange only a few moves with a Grandmaster, while even exceptional Innate fighters are expected to contend with one only briefly. 53
Cultivation alone does not determine victory. Bai Yan, described as newly promoted to the realm, crippled the late-stage Grandmaster fiend Blood Shadow in an instant without drawing his saber. 312
Grandmaster-level combat can devastate wide areas: Bai Yan and the mysterious old man’s clash destroyed trees, shattered rock, overturned the ground, and left a large crater across a hundred-meter area. 108

Method or distinction	Details
Natural breakthrough	A Half-step Grandmaster is considered one step from the realm, while a proper breakthrough is described as overcoming the Master bottleneck. 121 126
Medicinal assistance	The Dragon-Tiger Pill, Glazed Pill, Heaven-and-Earth Pill, and Netherblood Grand-Achievement Pill can help a Half-step Grandmaster break through, though relying on medicine is considered the worst method. 393
Heaven Ranking	Wanji Pavilion’s Heaven Ranking records thirty-six Grandmaster powerhouses. 120
Thirty-sixth seat	The final Heaven Ranking position is reserved for an Earth Ranking Martial Artist who newly breaks through to Grandmaster; a challenger may also claim it by defeating its holder. 310

Stage / Description	Documented practitioner	Notes
Newly promoted Grandmaster	Bai Yan	Despite being treated as newly promoted, he overwhelmed the late-stage fiend Blood Shadow with bare-handed palm force. 312
Late-stage Grandmaster	Blood Shadow	A fiend whose cultivation was identified as late-stage Grandmaster before Bai Yan severed his arms and destroyed his dantian. 312
Peak Grandmaster	Bai Shizhan	Bai Yan’s great-granduncle is identified as a peak Grandmaster with combat power sufficient to defeat an ordinary Grandmaster in fewer than ten moves. 480
Peak Grandmaster	Mysterious old man / Dark Master	Bai Yan estimated the costumed old man he fought to be at least his equal and a peak Grandmaster-level figure. 108
