953 Comparing The Two Systems

After instructing the sect's people to deal with the current situation, Wang Wei returned home as he had a few things to do. Firstly, he finally took the time to check the formula the Sword Empress gave him.

As expected, it was extremely complicated, and the materials were things he had never heard of.

Wang Wei waved his hand; he used his power of fate to divine these materials to learn about their uses, growing environment, and even some of their history. In a few minutes, he knew these materials better than an alchemist who spent countless Yuan Epochs studying them.

"This went better than I expected," muttered Wang Wei. The next step was to stimulate refining this pill in his mind.

However, he soon discovered with his current Alchemy Grand Dao Source, he could not refine such a high-level Emperor Tier Pill.

'Well, it doesn't matter. As long as I successfully stimulate the refining process, my plan will work.'

He placed on the agenda to raise his minor Grand Dao Source like Alchemy and Weapon Refining.

After that, Wang Wei took out a bunch of cultivation techniques, all from the Ancient Era. With the new environment, it's about time for him to update the Origin System.

However, he decided to wait a while and observed the world's reaction.

He first wanted to see if the Ancient Clan would be stupid enough to secretly spread the Primordial God System, trying to encroach on the Dao Opening Sect's [Daofather Luck]. Although they appeared to have changed, he was still skeptical.

Secondly, he wanted to see how the current Origin System would fare in the current environment before his intervention. The changes in the environment are a perfect time for geniuses born at the wrong time to innovate their technique, thus entering the Duyi Realm.

So, he wanted to see what they would come up with and see if some would inspire him for the upcoming upgrade. Although Wang Wei had an outline, he was not satisfied with the final result, so he wanted some inspiration from the Ancient System.

The first stage of the Ancient System, also called the Primordial God System, was the Blood Qi Realm. This realm was the same as the current era Body Refining Realm, cultivating the body's blood qi.

'The blood qi cultivated by the Ancient System should be purer than the Origin System as they used Innate Qi and Acquire Qi to cultivate,' analyzed Wang Wei. He waved his hand to condense a mortal clone of himself.

Then, the clone began to cultivate the first stage of the Origin System but using Innate Qi.

"The blood qi is indeed purer and more potent based on the environment," commented Wang Wei before creating a second mortal clone. But this one used the Ancient System to cultivate his blood qi.

"The purity and potency are the same no matter the cultivation system."

His clones have the same physique, soul, memories, and spirit and absorb the same amount of Innate Qi. The result was their blood qi was the same, meaning the starting point of these two systems was the same.

After seeing this result, Wang Wei focused on the second stage–Iron Bone Copper Skin Realm. The Ancient System did not open their dantian or Divine Sea; they continued on the path of training the body, training the skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and organs.

Wang Wei had his clones reach the second stage and battle it out. The result was that the Ancient System Clone was the final winner; the latter could completely ignore the damage from the Origin Clone's Origin Qi. So, it was a brutal defeat.

"That's concerning," muttered Wang Wei, who quickly discovered the crux of the issue. The Origin Qi condensed by the clone was purer as it used Innate Qi, but it did not sublimate to a higher level.

Wang Wei continued his observation for the third stage: Rune Body Realm. In this realm, the Ancient Clone condensed runes with his powerful blood qi and spiritual power, and these runes resonated with Heaven and Earth. After fusing these runes into the body, it reached another level.

"The Heaven Opening Emperor probably created this realm after seeing that female Primordial God's cultivating. He saw the Dao Rhymes releasing from her body, but he could not understand them. So, he copied them and created a lesser version in the form of Dao Runes.

"By then, he should have been only in Tier 2, so his understanding must be quite high to pull off such a feat. Worthy of my ancestor," muttered.

After praising the Heaven Opening Emperor, he had the two clones fight, trying to see the result between the Divine Altar Realm and Rune Body Realm. The final result was still a win for the Ancient System; however, it was not because of strength difference but because the Ancient Clone had unparalleled endurance, so he forced the Origin Clone to use more Origin Qi than it could replenish from the environment.

"The Divine Veins is a brilliant method that actually improves a cultivator's control of Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth.

However, the Dao Runes also have a similar effect. One walked the path of Qi, and the other walked the path of Essence(body)."

The fourth stage was the Bloodline Seed Realm, where Ancient Cultivators implemented their first bloodline. In this stage, the bodies and spirits of ancient cultivators are strong enough to survive the infusion of Innate Demons or Primordial Gods's bloodlines. Their strength will reach another level after the baptism of their chosen bloodline, they will also awaken Divine abilities.

However, the bloodline used can only be considered a seed of potential because cultivators cannot bear high bloodlines. So, they must continue to develop the strength of their bloodlines.

Wang Wei stimulated a battle between the clones in this realm. The Origin System finally showed an advantage because of the versatility of Origin Source, which allows them to use different spells. Meanwhile, the Ancient Clone can only use a few Divine Abilities based on their bloodline. However, based on how powerful the bloodline is, it's possible to overwhelm the Supernatural Cultivator.

However, the Origin Clone can also use unique Innate Talents, and in a worst-case scenario, they can destroy their potential by using their Good Fortune Flame.

The fifth stage is the Bloodline Awakening Realm. In this realm, the ancient cultivators have achieved a second awakening of their bloodline, thus tempering their bodies to a higher level and awakening more potent Divine Abilities.

The battle simulated by Wang Wei between the two clones was barely a tie. The Divine Body Realm clone suffered from a weaker body despite tempering it again in the Human Stage. The Origin Clone had a slight advantage after opening his orifice, sublimating his spirit and soul in the Earth Stage.

As for the Heaven Stage, where he controlled the power of Heaven and Earth, the Ancient Clone did the same thing with their bloodline.

The sixth stage was the True Spirit Realm, where the ancient cultivators fused their souls or spirits into their bodies, achieving a True Spirit. In this realm, they gained incredible regeneration. As long as a part of their flesh exists, they can regenerate and revive themselves because of their soul.

The battle result in this stage was relatively equal. The Ancient Clone was difficult to kill, while the Origin Clone could save his life by abandoning his body and running away with his Primordial Spirit.

The seventh tier is the Law Awakening Realm, where the ancient cultivators awakened the Law in their bloodline; it's in this stage where they can awaken their Innate Law.

In this stage, the Origin Systems won as Void Shattering Cultivators already comprehended the law while the Ancient Systems were still in the process of awakening.

The eighth tier is the Law Comprehension Realm; the name revealed its purpose. The battle between these two systems became somewhat unique. The Origin System's Saint will dominate the ancient system with their Domain, rendering it useless.

However, that's only applicable to people who have not awakened Innate Laws; by then, the domain's power becomes useless, and the final winner will depend on the individual's comprehension.Logically speaking, Saints should have a deeper understanding than Law Comprehension Realm, but that was not completely true. The time the ancient cultivators spent awakening their law was not in vain, as it allowed them to become extremely in tune with the law, granting them higher control over it than the Origin System.

The ninth stage is the Law Body Realm. The ancient cultivators would use their laws to modify their physical bodies to resemble Innate Demons or Primordial Gods.

The system's version of the Quasi-Emperor Realm was once the Law Body reached a certain size and its power reached beyond the normal Law Body or Supreme Realm.

The clones' confrontation in these two realms was also relatively equal. Wang Wei preferred the ancient system at the Supreme Realm as the body of a supreme is too weak and fragile before they fuse with their Dharma Body. However, the strength of each system was relatively the same.

"Each has their own advantage," commented Wang Wei. "In the early stages, the ancient system had a clear advantage.

In the middle stages, the Origin System only shines because of the Innate Talent and suicide method of the Good Fortune Flame.

"However, I'm not a big fan of the ancient system because of their overreliance on bloodline.

"The Origin System's Law Path is better, in my opinion, than the Ancient System.

However, it's worth learning how the Ancient System became extremely in tune with the law at Tier 7."

In the Law Path, the Ancient System relies more on better control supplemented by a powerful body. Meanwhile, the Origin System focuses more on a deeper understanding of the law and sublimating it.

"I have many ideas on how to improve the Origin System, but let's wait; maybe I can find more inspirations from the genesis of this era and from other cultivation systems."
