Wang Wei did not immediately leave as he wanted to understand the cultivation system of the Emperor Dao World, which was attractive to him.
The first realm is the Body Tempering Realm involves training and purifying the body. The unique part about this realm is that they constantly destroy and rebuild their bodies, similar to some cultivation techniques in Nirvana.
Energy Sea Realm is a realm similar to the Divine Sea Realm, which focuses on gathering and condensing energy. The main difference is that the cultivators in the system have to create something called Spiritual Foundation inside their bodies; there are 9 Spiritual Foundations.
Soul Realm is the third stage. As the name implied, this is a realm related to the soul. However, the way the Emperor Dao World reached this realm is different from the norm. The cultivators must experience myriad emotions and desires and use these intense feelings to temper their spirits and condense their souls.
‘It seems similar to Incense, but not quite,’ thought Wang Wei before continuing to read.
The fourth realm is the Dao Declaration Realm, which is the most important in this cultivation technique because of how much must be accomplished. The primary purpose of this realm is for cultivators to declare or decide their own Dao or Path–similar to how cultivators in the Divine Body Realm have to do in the Myriad Emperor World.
However, the Dao Declaration Realm is more strict on the requirements. For example, all the Heaven Choses from the Emperor Dao World will be sent to the Lower Realm for trial and tribulations while having memories of their background seal.
If they do not reach the peak of the Dao Declaration Realm, they will not get their memories back.
The more Wang Wei read about this realm, the more he shook his head; too many things were happening in this short realm.
The Dao Declaration Realm is divided into four stages: 33 Question Stage, 66 Question Stage, 99 Question Stage, and 100 Question Stage. To go through the stages, cultivators have to study the laws and mystery of Heaven and Earth; not comprehend, but study.
By studying countless notes and esoteric scriptures of Ancient Sages, Wise Men, and even powerful cultivators, these cultivators can understand how the worlds and laws operate.
In the Myriad Emperor World, Heaven Chosen has to go through a similar thing, but only when they are children, to establish a foundation for them. However, the Emperor Dao World integrate this aspect into their cultivation system.
In the first stage (33 Question), cultivators must study enough about the body to temper it to the point of withstanding the law. In the second stage (66 Questions), they must understand enough about the soul to elevate its strength and quality based on the individual’s talent. In the third stage (99 Question), sublimate the soul into the Law Soul, similar to Primordial Spirit or True Soul.
In the final stage–and the stage where the Upper Realm Geniuses could unseal their memories–they have to elevate the previous energy in their bodies to a higher one.
While doing all this, these cultivators also have to find their Dao or Path and have enough conviction in their decision to move to the next realm. Otherwise, they would be stuck in this realm.
‘I understand the purpose of the Soul and Dao Declaration Realm is to temper the state of mind, Willpower, and Dao Heart, but it seems too much is happening at once,’ commented Wang Wei before continuing reading.
The fifth realm is the Law Realm, further divided into Sensing Law, See Law, Touch Law, and Comprehend Law; this is a step-by-step guide on comprehending and wielding the law.
This is the basic realm that involves the laws found in many cultivation systems. The only noteworthy aspect is that some Heaven Chosens are rewarded with something called Law Essence by Heavenly Dao if they are powerful and talented enough.
The Law Essence can nourish their bodies to make them stronger and boost their comprehension of specific laws.
After comprehending 50% of their primary and 40% of minor laws, the next step is to condense them in the Spiritual Foundation into cores, hence the name of this realm: Law Core.
The Law cores can be created for one law, multiple, or one core for all the laws, similar to how Wang Wei fuses the different law aspects of Fate into one.
Wang Wei realized that this Spiritual Foundation System provides great battle strength to cultivators in this stage because of Law Resonance. These cultivators can have multiple cores inside their bodies, then use them to resonate with each other or the laws of Heaven and Earth and borrow their power. So, the cultivators in the Emperor Dao World are most likely very versatile in their fighting methods.
The seventh realm is the Domain Realm, where the Law Cores are condensed into a Domain Seed. And just like the Myriad Emperor World, cultivators must focus on expanding and controlling their Domains.
The eighth realm is the Incarnation Realm. Through deeper comprehension, the Domain Seed has turned into Fruits of Law in the first stage of this realm. And in the second stage, they ripened into Incarnation of Self.
Cultivators do not have to consciously manipulate laws at this stage, as the incarnation will do it for them.
The ninth stage is the True Self Realm, where the cultivators fused with their incarnation, boosting their control of the laws to another level.
In each cultivation stage, cultivators condensed a Spiritual Foundation for a total of nine. And to reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm, they must fuse all nine Spiritual Foundations into an Emperor Dao Foundation.
During the fusion, cultivators can experience everything that previously occurred in their lives, thus sublimating their state of mind and Dao Heart in the process. Additionally, during the fusion, the Emperor Dao World cultivators will slightly boost their comprehension to elevate their understanding of the Dao.
According to rumors Shadow Two gathered, this boost will remain in some cultivators after acquiring the Heaven Will while comprehending the Grand Dao Source, but there is no proof yet.
After reading the entire thing, Wang Wei compared the Origin System with the Spiritual Foundation System. The overall difference is how these two systems approached Laws.
The Origin System focused more on a deeper understanding of the law, while the Spiritual Foundation System focused more on subtle control of the law. For example, the higher energy created in the fourth stage of the Dao Declaration Realm is fused with laws comprehended in the next realm.
This is not the same for Origin Essence, which served as a boost and power source for cultivators to use the Law. Meanwhile, the Emperor Dao World cultivators fuse their energy with the law to better control; they use their soul, spirit, body, and even energy to control the law.
The downside to this method is that if something went wrong with these cultivators’ energy, their control of the law would decrease. And if something went wrong with their laws, they would be almost useless.
Meanwhile, if something went wrong with the Origin System cultivators’ energy, they can still use their laws to fight. And if something is wrong with their laws, they can still use their energy to fight.
Furthermore, because of how the Dao Declaration Realm functioned, there are bound to me many cultivators forever stuck in that realm, meaning that the Myriad Emperor World has way too many high-level cultivators than the Emperor Dao World. However, they have higher-quality cultivators.
And if Wang Wei had to choose which system was better, he had to admit it was the Spiritual Foundation System–despite some of its flaws, especially when it comes to the boost with comprehending the Grand Dao Source, if it’s true.
He could foresee that they should have a higher number of Second and First Class Great Emperors throughout their history than the Myriad Emperor World.
As for the reasons they do not have even more Eternal Emperors? It could be because of luck or because the Myriad Emperor World has gone through many era-changing catastrophes that forced geniuses from all walks of life to rise. Or the boost does not apply to understanding Dao Will and Existence.
Or a combination of the three.
After analyzing this cultivation system, Wang Wei had many thoughts and ideas. The first one was to create something similar to the Spiritual Foundations with his incarnation.
He would call it [Fate Palace] instead, and his purpose is that when they fuse, it can sublimate his understanding and control of Fate Dao.
‘This might be how I can reach a Golden Law Tree,’ thought Wang Wei with excitement before rapidly calming down. To accomplish this, he would also need to learn from the [Incarnation of Self] concept of the Spiritual Foundation System and recreate it.
Countless thoughts flashed across his mind on how to accomplish these things. He could tell by doing this that he would elevate his [Force Control Skill] to a higher level when it comes to law. The only problem facing him now was that he only had a Quasi-Emperor Tier cultivation technique from the Emperor Dao World’ he wanted to have at least one Emperor Scripture before proceeding with the plan.
“Another thing to put on the schedule is to optimize the Origin System,” he muttered. Wang Wei had long planned to do so, and the reason was not that he learned another system was better than his home world.
Based on his plan, the environment of the Myriad Emperor World will revert to ancient times, meaning that the Ancient Clan and their cultivation system will flourish.
Unfortunately, Wang Wei also acknowledged that the Origin System could not compare to the Ancient One in an environment full of innate qi and maybe even Chaos Qi.
So, he could foresee that the majority of cultivators would switch to that system if nothing were done, thus destroying the Qi Lucy Foundation of the Dao Opening Sect.
Wang Wei would not let that happen, so he needed to optimize the Origin System. Now, with this inheritance trial, he can access some of the best cultivation systems in the Endless Void and learn from them.
