-Alternative Enlightenment or Pseudo-Great Emperors who did not conform to the mark of Heavenly Seal and found another path to enlightenment usually appeared in the era when Great Emperors existed. The Dragon Transformation from the spine entered the Immortal Platform and transformed into an immortal fetus. However, there were already enlightened people in heaven and earth who could not match the Heavenly Heart Seal. They were weaker than the Great Emperor, but stronger than the Quasi-Emperor Nine Heavens.

Lifespan of 10,000 years. Can be 10,000-20,000 years depending on cultivation foundation and race.
Forbidden Land Supreme:
-A former Great Emperor who severed oneself of the realm's Heavenly Heart on their deathbed and established a Forbidden Land. Quality as a Great Emperor will gradually fall over time, while initially lacking the combat strength of a Great Emperor. Most known would seal themselves in a Forbidden Land that passively drains life-force to delay their death. Some were the origins of the Dark Turmoil, a period of indiscriminate bloody life leeching massacres by several Forbidden Land Supremes across the universe to extend their life-force and then re-enter hibernation. In Shrouding the Heavens, these Supremes hibernate repeatedly to wait and obtain the chance to enter the Immortal Domain. A Forbidden Land Supreme can temporary restore Great Emperor strength by paying a permanent great price.
Heavenly Emperor:
-Still a Great Emperor even if broken away from the state of Great Emperor. They are the extremely rare Great Emperors who used force of their Dao to breakthrough all Imperial Daos and forcefully obtain the position of Great Emperor, making them higher than other Great Emperors.

9.Immortal Dao Realm
Incorporates the Red Dust Immortal method sponsored by Desolate Heavenly Emperor (Shi Hao).
- True Immortal:
With eternal lifespan, the physical body and soul will not decay with the passage of time, but will always maintain a strong state. A single drop of blood can preserve immortality for several eras. Eighth Life Red Dust Immortal is equivalently stronger than ordinary True Immortals.
- Red Dust Immortal:
Part of and not part of the Immortal Platform Realm as the pseudo-9th Heaven and the transition between Mortal and Immortal developed by Heavenly Emperor Huāng.
Immortals of the Mortal World are required to open the channel to the Immortal Domain in Shrouding the Sky, because it is damaged and can't accept normal cultivator. A Great Emperor must live 9 Lives to breakthrough and become a Red Dust Immortal, the equivalent Quasi-Immortal King Realm in Shrouding the Heavens with an enormous lifespan. In Perfect World, a Red Dust Immortal is equivalent to the True Immortal Realm. The Red Dust Immortal is the cultivation limit of the Shrouding the Sky world, the degraded world fragment of the Perfect World world.
-Immortal King:
True immortality, the body is immortal, the soul is immortal, and cultivating the Immortal King Body can make the body stronger. Extremely difficult to kill unless special methods are used. If someone reads their true name, they will sense it and a vision will appear. Can step into the long river of time, travel through the past and future, ignore the power of time, and make small-scale modifications in the long river of time. The ten evil spirits only forged the body of the Immortal King but not the spirit of the Immortal King.
-Quasi-Immortal Emperor:
A Realm can be destroyed with a snap of a finger. A single thought is the birth and destruction of a Realm. The words are the law and can evolve all things and laws. It can blind the secret of heaven by itself. No matter the past, present or death, it is all foggy, making it difficult for people to see through. It is very dangerous for a Quasi-Immortal Emperor to truly and satisfactorily move towards the Immortal Emperor. Can establish their own cultivation system, becoming a Dark Ancestor.
-Immortal Emperor:
One can refine the source of immortality and seal the masters of immortality. One can open up the world with a single thought, and one can even tear apart the worlds at the moment one opens one's eyes. Every move one makes represents one's destiny. From ancient times to the present, more than 90% of those who have taken this road have died. Possessing the Emperor's Domain, one can go back in time and confine the enemy to the silent spacetime, making it impossible to escape from this point.
