Before he knew it, a day had quietly slipped by.
That night, Li Xiao ended his livestream before taking out "Great Luo Gu Refining" to study it carefully.
Through his conversations with Guarding the Central Court and the others that day, Li Xiao had learned quite a bit of common knowledge about the cultivation world. For instance, cultivators were divided into many ranks, but these had no "specific" names; one could only place them within a rough range.
In the current cultivation world, nobody knew whose alternate identity anyone else might be, which naturally made it difficult to determine a person's strength.

The current division was very simple: non-cultivators and cultivators.
Cultivators were further divided into several ranks: bit players, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, powerhouses, and mighty beings.

In some worlds, the rank of Great Luo Golden Immortal represented invincibility. In others, however, Great Luo Golden Immortals stood beneath Sages, who could suppress them with a single thought.
Yet when the strongest cultivators of those two worlds went to
