Sword Intent: A Energy, one which forms after reaching the Third Stage of Sword Intent. Sword Intent starts to be cultivated only if you have the Valoria path as your Main or Auxiliary path or are going to go down that path. Working as an extension of the self, it does not rely on Mana as its power source, and can only be trained until the second realm before you need to go and fight.
Multiple paths or Types of Sword Intent must first be reached before cultivating the Sword Intent, each with its own effects.
Common
Plant - A Intent which creates healing and growth of body activity within oneself, or overgrowth on another.
Fire - Flames coating the blade, it burns brighter the better you become.
Water - A flow from the blade which moves like water, making attacks harder to dodge instinctively.
Air - Air changes around the blade, reducing resistance and causing it to move faster.
Lightning - A spike in temperature in the opponent's Body as they are stunned for seconds if struck by the blade. The more trained you are, the faster you get.
Mist - Confusing the enemy by moving like you are partially there and partially not, barely visible if at all.
Blood - The usage of one's own blood to coat the blade, a poison for others as it actively damages another body, it becomes stronger the more the other person bleeds.
Etc - There are more, but they are not named; it is left to your imagination.

Information
Specialized Rank - An unknown rank that has not been achieved; it requires the person to first reach the Mortal Level in Sword Training without Cultivating at all. After that, they must reach Soul Formation and reach the Immortal Level of Sword Intent.

Now for the Ranks of Sword Intent, going from each stage, will there be an explanation
Novice - This is the beginning of a Valoria path. Someone who has just picked up a sword and swung it a few times, though messy and not clean and precise, it is still some effort; it is where many cultivators stop for the Valoria path, because they did not have the patience to actually train.
Intermediate - This is the stage where the Cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm. They are getting better at using their sword, or weapon of choice. This is usually when they begin training under a peer or train under the church-appointed trainers.
Trained - Someone of the level of a Royal Guard Trainee or a Guard of the Church, usually those who have trained for at least 20 years with their blade. Though it can take less time if someone is better and has a rarer intent.
Mortal - The peak of training a Mortal can be reached even without cultivation; after this, cultivation is required to move that fast. Intent can form even if you do not go the Valoria Path, but it is harder to achieve. This is where all mortals are stuck, and usually where Cultivators reach a breakthrough into the Soul Formation Realm.
Immortal - Immortal is the Rank right after Mortal. It is when people unlock a Sword Domain, based on their Intent type (The Domain depends on how the person views themselves). Alongside this, any of their moves, even if imitated by someone lower, is considered a mid-level technique, which would cause incredible damage against opponents of the same level. While this is now the point where movements have surpassed Mortal realms and become near-impossible.
-
Sword Domain - A barrier around the person forms, specialized for the intent, and can change depending on how the person views their own technique and intent, and how they think it will work. For example, a person with Blood intent can imagine their domain as a realm of blood, surrounding the entire area and a place they can traverse or teleport through.
Pseudo-Sage - Though this would sound like an insult to a commoner, it is a high status; it is akin to being a noble, of at least a Viscount or Baron immediately. This is someone highly trained in the Art of the Sword, who can do and see almost any movement, moving hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound. They are people revered as among the best of the best, because there has been almost no Cultivator or Mortal who has ever reached beyond this. Being only 5 Pseudo Sages in existence.'
Sage - Only one Cultivator is in this realm, and they are from the Western Continent, a being who wields a sword so powerful that they remain undefeated, still mythologized by others. They simply roam the world, unrivaled under only the Heavens. Someone who is at the Spirit Tempering Realm, only lower than Nyx in power.
Blessed - Unknown

Emperor/Empress - Unknown
Zenith - The Pinnacle of the Mortal Realms Sword Intent.
Pill Refinery | Rarity | Ranks
There are twenty Pill Grades and five Rarities, and the Ranks are for Cultivators in their Refinery. Each pill type has a maximum grade that cannot be exceeded. (Excluding pills used for Beauty, Longevity (Permanent), Purification, etc.)
Impure Grade - Limit for Low-Level Regeneration or Mana Replenishing Pills
Pure Grade - Limit for Foundation Level Pills
Sky Grade - Limit for High-level Regeneration or Mana Replenishing Pills
Mortal Grade - Limit for Virtuoso and Extreme level Regeneration and Mana Replenishing Pills, Limit for Mid Rank Breakthrough Pills (Caelus used to reach Virtuoso)
Immortal Grade - Limit for Peak-level Regeneration and Mana Replenishing Pills
Sage Grade - Limit for Soul Formation Pills completely, the Start for where Mana Enhancing Pills begin, only Low-level Mana Enhancing Pills appear here, along with this, this is the limit for High Rank Breakthrough Pills.
Emperor/Empress Grade - Limit for Extreme Rank Breakthrough Pills, and Limit for Mid-level Mana Enhancing Pills.
Transcendent Grade - A only talked about Grade for Pills, as only a few people can ever make this without a Creation Artifact. This is where Peak Rank Breakthrough Pills reach, the hardest to make.
Immortal Monarch Grade - The Limit for Heavenly Realization Pills, enough to go up by half a Stage for those at Heavenly Realization.
Assiah Grade - The Limit for High Body Pills (Pills which enhance the Body and change it to be able to handle cultivation, and are rarely ever made.)
Yetzirah Grade - The Limit for Peak Body Pills, the Limit for Spirit Tempering Pills, and it is also the Limit for High-level Mana Enhancing Pills.
Beri'ah Grade - The Absolute Limit for any Mana Enhancing Pills, nothing beyond this is a level any pill of such proportion can reach.
Atziluth Grade - The Limit for Tribulation Transcendence Pills (Peak Tribulation Transcendence, at Atziluth Grade, will give two entire Stages)
Find out after I reach Chapter 100 (I will rewrite and add the rest)
Each Grade and Pill alone (Excluded Rank) is divided into
Lesser - Harms Body/Poisonous
Low
Mid
High
Extreme
Peak
Example: Peak Rank Regeneration Pill can go up to the Immortal Grade, a Mid Rank Regeneration can only go to the Sky Grade. But, Pills based on a Cultivation Realm are locked to each level, with only beings of the Spiritual Realm able to change them. So a Virtuoso Pill, no matter if it's Peak, High, or Lesser, it will be stuck at the Mortal Grade for its maximum, but can be lower, which only diminishes its quality.
Rank for Cultivators in Alchemy
These rankings are from a worldwide organization for Alchemists; each ranking depends on what an Alchemist can make and how successfully. The Divine Alchemist is the best there is, second only to Caelus with his Vase of Zurvan.
Alchemical Apprentice - These are the starting alchemists, still learning, and barely able to make Impure Grade, let alone low rank ones.
Appointed Alchemist - Appointed by the Organization named [Pill Refiners] (I ran out of name ideas man :c), they can sell and refine pills for cultivators and even work for other families and sects, usually making and selling pills within Sects so they have enough daily, these are the most common types of Alchemists as even a Awakening Realm Cultivator can reach this.
Practitioner Alchemist - These Alchemists are practicing to make pills above their own cultivation realms, usually being Foundation or even Virutoso. However, they usually pick Arcane as it's the easiest to simply ignore, and fighting is the most needed to go past. Still, they would rather make pills than this; these are higher-ranking Pill Makers who are sought after by Sects for Outer Disciples (Virtuoso Peak) and for helping other Cultivators make pills.
Advanced Alchemist - Information Unknown
Master Alchemist - Information Unknown
Divine Alchemist - Hidden by request of Divine Alchemists.
