 * At Foundation Establishment, Meng Hao had Perfect Dao Pillars with no cracks at all, and had 10 instead of 9 pillars.
* He achieved this through the Perfect Foundation Pill recipe, which was acquired by an elder of the Reliance Sect who was trying to kill him.
* Chu Yuyun crafted the pill for Meng Hao.

 * Meng Hao had a Perfect Gold Core.
* He created his Gold Core during his Heavenly Tribulation, which tempered his fleshly body with lightning, strengthened his divine sense, and helped him create his Core Qi, which was the Ancient Starry Sky like inside Choumen Tai's body.
* He then went on a quest to create his 5 elements Nascent Souls and found various totems which boosted the power of his Gold Core and brought him the battle prowess of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
* Wood came from a powerful expert from the Ninth Sea, who collapsed upon reaching South Heaven. Their consciousness was reborn in the form of a tree: the Greenwood Tree.
* Metal came from the Golden Crow, a medicinal pill from ancient times that became a Demon - something exceedingly rare in Heaven and Earth.
* Fire came from the East Pill Everburning Flame. It was a fire that could never be extinguished; a fire that would exist eternally.
* Earth came from the power of the Frost soil and the Frost Soil Demon Emperor, a legendary soil which, according to the legends in the Ninth Mountain, was magically birthed from a patch of dirt, and eventually became unique and unmatched.

 * While most people only have one Nascent Soul, and four is considered to be the ultimate, with a Flawless Foundation and a Violet Core, along with a One Color Soul Procurement Pill, then it’s possible to add one more element. But Meng Hao had a total of nine elements.
* Meng Hao used his enlightenment of the totem tattoos of the Western Desert to to create his five elements Nascent Souls. He created four Nascent Souls using outside power as auxiliary. His nine Nascent Souls were created from:
	1. Blood Immortal-Violet Sea Totem — **Red**-**Violet** Water Nascent Soul
	2. Ancestral Awakened Golden Crow Totem — **Golden** Metal Nascent Soul
	3. Ancestral Awakened Greenwood Totem — **Green** Wood Nascent Soul

	5. Frost Demon Emperor Soil Totem — **Black** Earth Nascent Soul
	6. Roc Wind Power — **White** Wind Nascent Soul
	7. Lighting of Heavenly Tribulation — Lightning Nascent Soul
	8. Qi and Blood — Qi and Blood Nascent Soul
	9. Demonic Qi — Demon Nascent Soul

 * Since Meng Hao had nine Nascent Souls, combining them into one gave him the power of Spirit Severing to help him form a path into Spirit Severing.
	1. For his first severing, Meng Hao chose to sever the Resurrection Lily in him to seek the path of Freedom and Independence. He did this while inside of the Milky Way Sea where he shortly after was attacked by the 10th Wang Clan patriarch, who sought to steal his Perfect Foundation. He was saved by Old Man Extermination, but his Perfect Stratum was still stolen.
	2. After his journey with Old Man Extermination, Meng Hao sought out the Rebirth Cave, hoping to use it to resurrect after his incoming death. He was finally found and helped by Xu Qing in order to do so. This effort proved futile, however, until Da Nu stepped in and decided to give her life, together with a pill from Black Sieve Sect, to restore him. Even then, his Cultivation remained lost until he met Shui Dongliu in the cave, who then asked him why he was so obsessed with the Perfect Stratum to begin with. Shui Dongliu informed Meng Hao that the Perfect Foundation already did its job and produced a Dao Fruit, so asked why he doesn't just sever it away. Thus, Meng Hao chose to sever perfection, allowing him to manifest his paragon branch and Dao Fruit. After that, Shui Dongliu informed him that he qualifies for the Eternal Stratum. Meng Hao is enlightened about Eternity by the life of the Eyeless Larva, and thus his Dao fruit desolved to become an Eternal Stratum, which is superior to all other Foundations - even Perfect, is impossible to ever take away, and makes him extremely hard to kill - if not genuinely immortal.
	3. After having been re-birthed by Shui Dongliu in the Rebirth Cave, Meng Hao gained an insane amount of devilish intent. Wherever he went, slaughter would occur. The entire Southern Domain came to fear Meng Hao, and he would become the Blood Prince of the Blood Demon Sect. His devilish intent especially rose greatly during the war with the Northern Reaches on his wedding day. During a critical point in the war, where Meng Hao got trapped by a Monkey Cage, he was enlightened on which path he should follow. Patriarch Blood Demon emphasized whether he should Sever the Devil and Seek the Dao or Sever the Dao and Seek the Devil. After having made his decision, he chose to Sever the Devil in him and Seek the Dao. He used a 100% Mist Blade to sever his devil, which meant that it was an incredibly great Dao and will, the likes of which had never been seen before.

* Second Spirit Severing — Chapter 693

	1. After gaining an Immortal Meridian from the Ancient Daoist Rite Temple, Meng Hao reached 80% of True Immortality and received a significant jump in power.

 * While in Dao Seeking, Meng Hao seized some good fortune from the Ancient Daoist Rite Temple, in the shape of a Immortal Meridian which allowed Meng Hao to slowly build upon it, forging his path into True Immortality. After gaining more good fortune from the First Generation Patriarch of the Fang Clan, Meng Hao managed to build his 1 Immortal Meridian into 8 before even stepping into the Immortal Realm, which greatly benefitted him during his Immortal Tribulation.
* The path to True Immortality that Meng Hao took was the rarest of the 3 available paths, aside from the Destiny of Door of Immortality and usage of Immortal Vines, which was to force the Heavens to accept him as an Immortal. As Meng Hao had already obtained Immortal Meridians, he had begun to forge his path to Immortality.
* After passing his Immortal Tribulation, Meng Hao formed 100 Meridians from the Door of Immortality and, building upon the 8 he already had and 15 he got from good fortune during his life, he ended up with 123 Meridians.
	+ 1-100 – Meridians from Immortal Tribulation
	+ 101-108 – Ancient Immortal Meridians from the Dao Lamp
	+ 109 – Blood Demon Grand Magic (Blood Demon)
	+ 110 – Resurrection Lily
	+ 111 – Eternal Stratum
	+ 112 – True Immortal fleshly body – Qi and Blood
	+ 113 – Eight Demon Sealing Hex - Bodily Cultivation Hexing
	+ 114 – Seventh Demon Sealing Hex - Karmic Hexing
	+ 115 – Sixth Demon Sealing Hex – Life-Death Hexing
	+ 116 – Fifth Demon Sealing Hex – Inside-Outside Hexing
	+ 117 – Paragon Bridge (Paragon Magic)
	+ 118 – Immortal Character from Ancient Daoist Rite Temple
	+ 119 – Fang Bloodline Dragon (Fang Clan – Ancestral Awakening)
	+ 120 – Starry Sky meridian (Choumen Tai)
	+ 121 – Demon Immortal Dragon (Ke Jiusi – Ke Yunhai’s Dragon-Phoenix Soul Lamp)
	+ 122 – Flying Rain Dragon Legacy
	+ 123 – Essence of Divine Flame

Immortal Emperor (On Chapter 1057)* Due to Meng Hao's bloodline being an Allheaven Bloodline, he was able to use his Nirvana Fruits and absorb them to walk the path of the Allheaven. His first step was the Immortal Emperor Realm. At first, Meng Hao was not strong enough to absorb his first Nirvana Fruit, until he received a drop of Paragon Nine Seals's blood from the Nine Seas God World.
	+ While this blood was severely diluted, Meng Hao used the Copper Mirror to duplicate the blood so he could get a pure drop of blood. Eventually, he was able to get a pure drop of blood and absorb it, and at that time he absorbed his Nirvana Fruit, stepping into the Immortal Emperor Realm. This also bestowed him with the authority of the future Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm, allowing him to use Paragon Nine Seals's weapons, although it was quite taxing.

Allheaven Immortal (On Chapter 1140)* In the Windswept Realm, after some tribulation, Meng Hao was able to study the 3000 Essences of the Realm and used them to permanently become an Allheaven Immortal.

* Because Meng Hao was an Allheaven Dao Immortal, before stepping into the Ancient Realm, his Ancient Realm Tribulation was many times harder then even Dao Realm Tribulations, to the point where he even died undergoing it, but was saved by the seal bestowed unto members of the Echelon by Paragon Sea Dream.
* Because Meng Hao had 123 Immortal Meridians, in the Immortal Realm he was able to ignite 32 Soul Lamps, and because of Paragon Nine Seals's blood that he absorbed in the past, he was able to form one more Soul Lamp - a Paragon Soul Lamp - for a total of 33 soul lamps.
* After Meng Hao completed his Ancient Realm tribulation, he had a gut feeling that his nine Dao Realm Essences pointed towards his Nine Demon Sealing Hexing Magics.
* During the war with the 33 Heavens, after the 1st Heaven was destroyed, Meng Hao absorbed the World Essence that was revealed during the collapse to further his comprehension of the Eighth Demon Sealing Hex, which allowed him to see the true essence behind it, which is the **Essence of Space**.
* While Meng Hao was still in the Ancient Realm, instead of going on his original path to become the Immortal, he became the Demon with the help of a curse that transformed his blood, stained his soul, washed over his bones, besmirched his Dao foundation, and soon after shattered his Dao foundation and his Immortal Meridians.
	+ This physically made him stronger while externally changing his appearance of his body and Soul Lamps. They burned silently with a blue-violet flame that made the starry sky shake.
* In order to buy more time for the remnants of the Mountain and Sea Realm to escape the Immortal God Continent, Meng Hao detonated all 33 of his Soul Lamps - including his Paragon Lamp.

* While Meng Hao is seen and treated as a 9-Essence Dao Paragon, Meng Hao was unable to extinguish the flame on the mysterious Soul Lamp. Meng Hao figured that only when he had formed his 9th Demon Sealing Hex as his 9th Essence would he then be able to extinguish his Soul Lamp.
* His Nine Demon Sealing Hexes became his nine Essences when he was transcending in the Ninth Landmass; they were:
	1. Beginning-Ending Hex Essence
	2. Real-Unreal Hex Essence
	3. Present-Ancient Hex Essence
	4. Self Hex Essence
	5. Inside-Outside Hex Essence
	6. Life-Death Hex Essence
	7. Karmic Hex Essence
	8. Body-Mind Hex Essence

* He used the combination of the Nine Demon Sealing Hexes to reach the peak of the Daosource Realm in cultivation.(on Chapter 1536)
* With the help of his Peak Daosource fleshly body and Cultivation, Meng Hao was able to use the resonance from the power of the two to Transcend with his soul, becoming a True Transcendent cultivator(on Chapter 1537)

Unlike most other cultivators, Meng Hao walks the path of both bodily cultivation and normal cultivation. He has been training his body intentionally and unintentionally since Qi Condensation.

### Qi Condensation

* Meng Hao reached the 10th level of Qi Condensation, which strengthened his fleshly body.

### Foundation Establishment

* Meng Hao had a Perfect Foundation and reached the 10th level of Qi Condensation, which let him created a 10th Dao Pillar. The 10th Dao Pillar Strengthened his fleshly body once again.

### Core Formation

* Meng Hao, while being chased for stealing from an auction, flees to his base. There, he has Lord Fifth and friends guard him while he concocts a Perfect Gold Core Pill. He finishes it in time and consumes it, which increases the strength of his fleshly body.
* During the delayed Heavenly Tribulation, Meng Hao uses the Tribulation Lightning to further temper his fleshly body.

### Nascent Soul

* Since Meng Hao created multiple Nascent Souls, he was able to create his Nine Anima Soul Transformation divine ability, which allowed him to merge his Nascent Souls. This granted him a powerful fleshly body and cultivation base.

### Spirit Severing

* After training in the Demon Immortal cistern using Fleshly Sanctification and Zhixiang's illusionary greater demons, Meng Hao was able to create his 8th Nascent Soul and maintain a state of 7th anima fleshly body in his first anima. Using his 8th anima caused his body to reach Spirit Severing.

### Dao Seeking

* Meng Hao used the Nine Heavens Treasured Body Seals along with Spirit Severing treasures he got from the Divine Flame Trial to make his hand reach the Dao Seeking Stage.
* Later on, during the attack on the Black Sieve Sect, he returned to the blessed land and used the Tribulation Lightning to obtain a Dao Seeking Fleshly Body.

### Immortal Realm (On Chapter 939)

* Before Meng Hao's immortal tribulation, he participated in the East Ascension Sun. He reached space using the Flame Character Incantion from Withering Flame Demon Magic True Self Dao to absorb the sun's energy. He also used one Skyplace Spirit Pill to reach higher heights and concocted another Skyplace Spirit Pill from nothing at the edge of space to make a breakthrough. There he faced the Saint Tribulation, which he completely destroyed by using his Paragon Bridge Magic - changed to the appearance of a tree to hide his identity of Fang Mu - and obtained a True Saint fleshly body.

### Ancient Realm (On https://weebrook.com/novel/i-shall-seal-the-heavens/chapter-1081 Chapter 1081])

* Meng Hao used the pressure from the first golden gate stone stele from the Nine Seas God World to force his body to break through into the Ancient Realm.
* After Meng Hao passed his tribulation and it was time for him to get his Soul Lamps, it turned out that Meng Hao broke through to the Anti-Ancient of the Ancient Realm, meaning he had to ignite his Soul Lamps instead of extinguish them.
* When he went back at the Ancient Dao Lakes on Planet South Heaven, Meng Hao managed to forcefully ignite his anti-Ancient Soul Lamps from 2 all the way to 9 with the help of the Essense of the Divine Flame, reaching the Great Circle of the Ancient Realm.
* Later, Meng Hao got possessed by Greed, who forcefully pushed Meng Hao's body beyond the Great Circle of the Ancient Realm, yet before the Dao Realm.

### Dao Realm (On Chapter 1329)

* Meng Hao used seven drops of God blood to directly make his fleshly body break through from the Peak Ancient Realm and past the Dao Lord level to obtain a Dao Sovereign Fleshly body.

* **Vast Expanse Dao Body** **(On Chapter 1415)** - When Meng Hao detonated his Soul Lamps, he used a secret magic from Shui Dongliu to possess the mysterious Soul Lamp from the Immortal Ancient Daoist Rite Temple. He used the resources from the Vast Expanse Society and the special traits of the Soul Lamp to change his body to fit the mysterious Soul Lamp.

### Transcendence (on Chapter 1536)

* Meng Hao used his Transcendent cultivation base to extinguish the Bronze Lamp and with its help push his body into the Peak of the Daosource Realm

### Ancestor Realm (On Chapter 1587)

* When he absorbed Allheaven's clone, his fleshly body experienced incredible growth, reaching the Ancestor Realm

### Beyond Ancestor Realm
