How many grades are divided into Taoist Gods and Immortals, and is the Dala Golden Immortal the highest realm?

All the people, gods, and immortals in the world of the Feudal Gods can be divided into six major realms according to their cultivation level, and each realm can be divided into three minor realms.

1. The highest realm - the Mixed Yuan Wondrous Great Luo Golden Immortal.

There is only one person in the entire book who has reached this level of cultivation, the towering Old Man Hongjun.

While in the whole book Hongjun old man did not make a move, but from the three disciples of the aptitude and the three disciples of Hongjun's reverence can be known, Hongjun old man has been completely in control of the Avenue of Heaven and Earth, waving his hand can be created, destroyed a world.

However, we should also be clear that Old Man Hongjun is only the first master among the immortals who have already made their appearance in the world of God-feudalism. Hongjun is not fearless, let alone omnipotent.

2. The second realm--Mixed Yuan Dala Golden Immortal.

To reach this level of cultivation, there are eleven people in the whole book, namely Laozi, Tongtian Sect Master, Yuanshi Tianzun, Junti Taoist, Jieyi Taoist, Haotian God, Yaoyi Jinmu, Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, Earthly Emperor Shennong, Human Emperor Xuanyuan, and Demon Ancestor Nuwa.

The only way for an immortal cultivator to enter the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Mixed Origin is to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Entering this realm is very difficult, and amongst the immortals, it also belongs to the category of transcending the mundane, one in ten thousand. Therefore, the immortals above this realm are honored as saints by the immortals***. 

Every saint comprehends at least one law of heaven and earth, for example, Emperor Shennong of the Earth, who used dan to enter the Dao and achieved the body of a saint. In order to advance in rank, one must comprehend more laws of heaven and earth.

While the eleven saints belonged to the same Mixed Great Luo Golden Immortals, there was a huge gap in each other's strength. For example, Lao Zi, who is the Great Head Teacher of the Hierarchy, is definitely the first immortal under Hongjun in terms of regular strength, reaching the late stage of the Mixed Yuan Dala Golden Immortal, and once he opens up the mode of One Breath Transforms Three Purities, he will reach the late stage of perfection, infinitely approaching the realm of the Mixed Yuan Wondrous Dala Golden Immortal.

As for Nüwa, her status is still below the Three Emperors, and she was only certified after the Heavenly Emperor, so although she has reached the Mixed Realm, she is only at the early stage of the Mixed Realm, and may even only be at the first level.

3, the third realm - the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

In the book explicitly mentioned the witness Dala, morality has been full of immortals are rare. In the sealing list edict evaluation, Zhao Gongming has not reached the Dala, Wen Taishi has reached the Dala has not reached the other shore, and the Golden Spirit Virgin Mother has been morally complete.

Daoist Duo Bao, Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, Master Wen Taishi, Zhao Gongming, Niangniang Sanxiao, Kong Xuan, and Burning Lantern can be classified in the realm of the Dala Golden Immortal, i.e., the quasi-sacred realm.

The prominent feature is that they have cultivated at least three flowers and five qi, and they can go through a hundred tribulations without dying, and some of them even have a glimpse of the heavenly way.

If we break it down, we can divide the Dala Golden Immortal into three sub-realms:

1, Dala Golden Immortal early stage: has reached the Chaoyuan, has not yet been certified as the Dala.

2. Middle Dala Jinxian: having certified the Dala, with moral deficiencies.

3. Late Dala Jinxian: morality has been complete, glimpsing the Way of Heaven.

Of course, cultivation is only the basis of the fight, in the world of the feudal gods, without a powerful magic treasure, the gutter is very common.

4, the fourth realm - Golden Immortal.

Most of the Hierophant and Interceptor Immortals who appeared in the God Sealing War are in this realm, such as the Nanji Immortal Weng, the 12 Immortal Heads, Shen Gongbao, such as the Ten Heavenly Monarchs, the Four Saints of the Nine Dragons' Island, and so on.

There are several criteria for reaching the Golden Immortal realm: one, a lifespan of more than a thousand years, basically getting rid of the cycle of life and death; and two, possessing a special aura, or purple qi around the body, or five qi toward the origin.

5, the fifth realm - immortal.

Those who can have hundreds or even thousands of years of life and can skillfully utilize the five elements of divine spells have basically reached the realm of the immortals. For example, Jiang Ziya and Nezha.

And then there are the three demons of the Xuan Yuan grave, Jiang Ziya's disciple Long Shu Hu, etc. Although they have cultivated for thousands of years, they do not have profound Taoist techniques, and their cultivation is actually not very high, and all of them are in the realm of the gods and immortals.

6, the sixth realm - human immortals.

The so-called human immortals, mostly because of the limitations of the qualifications, cultivation of immortals for several years or decades, only the first glimpse of the immortal doorway. Their lifespan is not much different compared to mortals, and their bodies still cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation. However, after all, there were practicing Immortal Laws and were able to master the most basic five elemental spells. If they have powerful magic treasures, or unique natural aptitude, they can also fight against immortals and even golden immortals, but when facing the Dala Golden Immortals and above, they are defenseless.
