Realm Position
| Stage | Relationship to Great Grandmaster | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fifth-grade Grandmaster | Preceding realm | A cultivator who reaches Fourth Grade is recognized as having entered the Great Grandmaster realm. 119 243 |
| Fourth-grade Great Grandmaster | Current realm | Its practitioners wield True Essence rather than Grandmaster True Qi. 119 |
| Third-grade Martial Venerable | Succeeding realm | Advancement requires transforming True Essence into Martial Venerable Power and meeting far higher requirements in cultivation, techniques, abilities, and combat power. 214 |
Characteristics
- True Essence: The defining power associated with Great Grandmasters; Li Taisui’s breakthrough was immediately recognized when True Essence appeared around him. 119
- Power of Heaven and Earth: High-level Great Grandmasters can use True Essence to fly, though sustained flight is difficult and costly. 142
- Martial Power: Only a small portion of Fourth Grade cultivators develop Martial Power, which can impose their will on the environment and form localized domain-like effects. 294
- Extreme disparity within the realm: A newly ascended Great Grandmaster and a peak Fourth Grade expert may differ enormously in strength; Huang Tianyi was considered capable of defeating multiple ordinary Fourth Grade Great Grandmasters. 119 171
- Path toward Martial Venerable: Becoming a Great Grandmaster does not ensure further advancement. Even cultivators who reach Fourth Grade before age one hundred still require exceptional fortune and opportunity to become Martial Venerables. 214
Status in Daxia
- Fourth Grade Great Grandmasters are exceptionally scarce: Daxia has only a little over one hundred known practitioners across its seventeen provinces, the Military Department, the Guard Department, and other organizations. 214
- Their scarcity makes them central to high-risk operations. The Jiang Province Military Department lacked enough Fourth Grade personnel to safely investigate the Sand Python Mine Area for seven years. 203
- Great Grandmasters commonly hold positions of regional influence, including Guard Department directors, military generals, mercenary leaders, and underground faction heads. 116 142 165
Documented Great Grandmasters
| Individual | Position / Epithet | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chu Teng | Chief director of the Jiang Province Guard Department | A Fourth Grade Great Grandmaster who oversaw Jiang Li’s martial examination. 116 |
| Li Taisui | “God of Slaughter” | Revealed his Great Grandmaster cultivation during his examination battle with Jiang Li; possesses the SS-Class Heavenly God Aspect. 118 119 |
| Tang Baoqing | Leader of the Yang Mountain Bandit Group | A Fourth Grade Great Grandmaster with the B-Class Blood Scale Dragon Python Talent Ability; killed by Jiang Li. 142 143 |
| Jiang Zhenhua | Jiang Qing Gang leader | A Fourth Grade Great Grandmaster who dominated Jiang Province’s underground factions before being intimidated by Jiang Li’s display of power. 165 166 |
| Huang Tianyi | “Hell Demon” | A peak Fourth Grade Great Grandmaster and the top-ranked target on the Great Grandmaster wanted list. 171 |
| Ling Changqing | Jiang Province’s top Fourth Grade Martial Arts Great Grandmaster | Served as the thirtieth-floor opponent of the True Martial Tower before Jiang Li defeated him and became its new guardian. 181 |
| Yang Xiansheng | Qingyuan Mercenary Group member | Had advanced to Fourth Grade by the time he suppressed Ji Qingyue within the Martial Emperor Hall. 230 231 |
Notable Feats Involving the Realm
- Jiang Li, while still a Fifth-grade Grandmaster, killed Tang Baoqing with a single saber strike despite Tang’s Fourth Grade cultivation. 143
- Jiang Li publicly broke through from Grandmaster to Fourth Grade Great Grandmaster at eighteen years old amid nationwide scrutiny, an achievement described as unprecedented since the rise of High Martial Arts. 243
- Huang Tianyi, a peak Great Grandmaster, was regarded as powerful enough that several Fourth Grade Great Grandmasters in Jiang Province might not have been able to capture him together. 171
- Fourth Grade Great Grandmasters on Sacred Martial Mountain left behind 1,685 distinct Martial Powers, each capable of influencing a portion of the mountain’s environment. 294
