Nirvana Stage is the eighth major stage of cultivation. It is also equivalent to Heavenly Symbol Master. It is divided into nine separate ranks that are named as "Yuan Nirvana Stage".[1]
When the cultivators who have attained at least 7th Yuan Nirvana Stage die, they are able to leave a Yuan Spirit which can retain the memory and a certain portion of cultivation power. Normally practitioners need to attain 8th Yuan Nirvana Stage in order to engender a complete Yuan Spirit.
Breaking through to Nirvana stage is an extremely risky venture. If one is negligent, not only would he or she fails to break through, but one would end up self-destructing. Unless the person possesses some rare and miraculous elixir or pills, he or she can hardly survive the frightening tribulation. This is a very common matter for those practitioners who have really established a solid foundation in Cultivation. However, even though some people have prepared the necessary materials established concrete Cultivation foundation, the ordeal is still present at an average degree of risk. Furthermore, even if one successfully breakthrough to Nirvana stage, one is not safe yet. Nirvana Stage consists of nine rankings. To reach each Nirvana cultivation ranking, one must pass through a life-and-death test. If one is able to pass, then one’s strength and life expectancy would surge. However, if one fails, then one would be unable to revive oneself and can only await destruction[2]
One needs Nirvana Qi as well as the Nirvana Pill (cinnabar) in order to enter Nirvana Stage and also needs Nirvana Qi to advance through its ranks.[3]
The aura of a Nirvana Stage practitioner could still be lingering around well after his or her death.[4]
The Nirvana Body is the mark of the Nirvana stage elites. That kind of body is a great-deal-several times stronger than a Manifestation stage elite’s body. When facing an elite with Nirvana Body, even an all-out attack from a peak Manifestation stage elite would not do much damage.[5]
