The first is through pure assimilation of Chakra Fruits, where they slowly but steadily obtain power and ascend through the higher Tiers. This is their original and standard way of power before the invention of Evolutionary Cultivation by Lord Shibai to achieve the Tier 7 Transcendental.

Tier 1 Tectonic

Tier 2 Planetary

Tier 3 Stellar

Tier 4 Cosmic

Tier 5 Multiversal

Tier 6 Extradimensional

Tier 7 Transcendental - Impossible to reach with this method

In this power system, one just needs to eat Chakra Fruits and upgrade his power, slowly but steadily ascending through Tiers, obtaining "Dao" and so on, solely through the Chakra Fruits.

While the Ōtsutsukis could obtain Dao also through the first method, as they assimilate countless Chakra Fruits, the great disadvantage is that while they "comprehended" Dao, they don't understand it properly and can't even control it.

This method is nowadays only used by those Ōtsutsukis who don't have the aptitude and talent for comprehending Dao, as the Clan already considers this method primitive.

The second method is through Evolutionary Cultivation, where they start cultivating at Tier 2 and becoming cultivators. Evolutionary Cultivation is fusing together two aspects: 1st the Bloodline Evolution of their original way and 2nd Dao Comprehension.

Tier 3 Stellar - Saint Realm

Tier 4 Cosmic - Holy Lord Realm

Tier 5 Multiversal - Empyrean Realm

Tier 6 Extradimensional - Paragon Realm

Tier 7 Transcendental - Autarch

Naturally, the first path is many times easier compared to the second one, but the second one, while harder, brings many more benefits as it fuses perfectly with the Bloodline Evolution and Dao Comprehension.

This, in the end, results in a great disparity between those who practice Evolutionary Cultivation and those who don't...

For example, one Saint Realm could fight more than 10 Tier Ōtsutsukis at the same time and came out victorious mainly because of his superior control and understanding of Dao.
