Gu Cultivation

The Gu Dao cultivation has three big aspects, those are respectively Cultivation, Utilization and Refinement.
 * Cultivation for advancing ones foundation, strength and rank.
 * Utilization of ones Gu Insects and the following ultimate moves made with the gus.
 * Refinement of the gus you use in your cultivation and utilize in fighting.

The Gu Cultivation World has 9 Big Cultivation Ranks, from bottom to the top – Rank one, Rank two, Rank three all the way up to Rank nine. Every rank is considered a big realm, and it is divided into 4 smaller realms – initial stage, middle stage, upper stage and peak stage.

List of Rank Nine Gu Masters
Since ancient times there has only been eleven Gu Masters who reached Rank Nine and became known as Immortal Venerable or Demonic Venerable

The Next Venerable
The future Eleventh Venerable was destined to be a female Great Dream Immortal Venerable (大梦仙尊), an Immortal Venerable that majored in Dream Dao. However, ever since the destruction of Fate Gu, the future position of Eleventh Venerable became vacant to all Rank 8 Gu Immortals. Later on, after reaching supreme grandmaster in refining dao and surviving the Heavenly Dao's blockade, Fang Yuan reached Rank 9 and become the Eleventh Venerable, Refining Heaven Demon Venerable (炼天魔尊) or Great Love Immortal Venerable (大爱仙尊).

Grades of Talent
For mortal Gu Masters, their talent is devided in four grades:


 * First Grade (or A Grade) Talent: The opened Space Aperture is 80-99% filled with primeval essence. This talent can be considered exceptional and the Gu Master can reach the peak of mortal achievement (Rank 5) and perhaps even become a Gu Immortal with enough preparations.
 * Second Grade (or B Grade) Talent: The opened Space Aperture is 60-79% filled with primeval essence. This talent can be considered good and the highest realm achievable is usually Rank 3-4.
 * Third Grade (or C Grade) Talent: The opened Space Aperture is 40-59% filled with primeval essence. This talent can only be considered ordinary and the highest realm achievable is usually Rank 2-3.
 * Fourth Grade (or D Grade) Talent: The opened Space Aperture is 20-39% filled with primeval essence. This is the weakest talent and the highest realm achievable is usually Rank 1-2.

Ten Perfect Physiques
There are ten types of aptitudes above A grade and they were collectively called Ten Perfect physiques.

Before Human Ancestor died, he gave birth to ten children. The eldest son Verdant Great Sun, second daughter Ancient Moon's Lonely Shadow….. Among the ten, there was one named Northern Dark Ice Soul. Human Ancestor's legends whether real or false, alluded to many secrets in a Gu Master’s cultivation. Human Ancestor’s ten kids individually represented ten types of ultimate aptitudes.

Any one of the ten perfect physiques is superior to A grade aptitude. The most excellent A grade aptitude can only store ninety nine percent primeval essence in their aperture, but any one of the ten perfect physiques holds full hundred percent primeval essence in their aperture.

However, everything exists in balance, the ten perfect physiques which holds hundred percent primeval essence is too perfect and heavens won’t easily allow their existence. It is difficult for the Gu Masters who hold ten perfect physiques to grow and mature, almost all dying an untimely death. Of course, if they can really grow to become a Rank six, they will be able to sweep through same stage opponents and even perform miracles such as fighting a higher rank.

Grades of Mastery of a Dao
The Gu Masters walk on the path of the Great Dao. The Dao that they have the highest amount of intimacy is the one related to their vital Gu, e.g. is the Gu Master has Wisdom Dao Gu as vital Gu the Gu Master will have greater aptitude in the Wisdom Dao than the other Daos.

Once a Gu Master becomes more powerful and gains greater insigths in their Dao, we can say that they reached a certain mastery of Dao, being capable of using powerful Gus, abilities, and techniques related to that Dao.

The Dao Mastery ranks are the following:

 * Common - Equivalent to mortal Gu Master in achievements in the Dao.
 * Great Master - Equivalent to Rank 6 Gu Immortal in achievements in the Dao.
 * Grandmaster - Equivalent to Rank 7 Gu Immortal in achievements in the Dao. Ususally takes hundreds of years in accumulation.
 * Great Grandmaster - Equivalent to Rank 8 Gu Immortal in achievements in the Dao. Usually takes thousands of years of accumulation.
 * Supreme Grandmaster - Equivalent to Rank 9 Gu Immortal in achievements in the Dao. Will depend solly on talent, without it even after ten thousand years it will be impossible to become a Supreme Grandmaster.

Dao Lord
"So-called Dao Lord, is Lord together. When Gu Immortal becomes Venerable, has Supreme Grandmaster Realm, the leader together, own progress is the progress of school, is the progress of Heaven and Earth, then he was Dao Lord.” „As Dao Lord, Gu Venerable can in the sensation Heaven and Earth nature oneself major in complete Dao Marks of school, and addition refine! refine later Dao Marks, Gu Venerable can at will manipulates.” „After each Venerable becomes Venerable, has a process of travelling world. For example Origin Lotus Immortal Venerable, for example Sir Paradise Immortal Venerable. In fact, in this process, Dao Marks between their widespread refine Heaven and Earth, built their Battlefield Ultimate Move entire Heaven and Earth.”"

Dao's of The Gu World
"„I told you, from the Immemorial time Human Ancestor time, had Space Dao and Time Dao, the mystery of these two big school study and elaboration space and time.” „Remote Antiquity Era, Genesis Immortal Venerable founded Qi Dao and Enslave Dao, Constellation Immortal Venerable has created Wisdom Dao and Star Dao, but our Formation Dao also created in the Remote Antiquity Era end.

Soul Cultivation
Originally 100 Million Human Soul was the world limit one could reach, but after Fate Gu was injured by Red Lotus Demon Venerable, Gloomy Soul Demonic Venerable was able to break throuth the human soul limit creating the second level, Desolate Soul.

Breaking throuth to the Desolate Soul level would change the essace of the soul and allow it to have the battle strength of a desolate rank soul beast. This is also a very big flaw with this method, because you lose the human nature of the soul and it becomes more like a desloate beast and gains the wild nature of beasts.
