Because of that, the cultivation methods as well as secrets of the Origin World became known by the emperor monarchs of Goumang Real World. After learning about the flaws of the Origin World’s cultivation methods, their strength increased by leaps and bounds, and the five quasi sage level experts appeared.
After Li Yunmu obtained the cultivation method of Goumang Real World from Yan Wanqiu, the system could analyze the merits and demerits of it and improve the entire cultivation system of the Origin World.
“Then I will begin. The Origin World walks the path of practicing martial arts, in other words, close quarters combat. It could also be said that you mainly focus on cultivating the body. As for the laws of grand dao, you use godhood to attain the god realm.
“The merits of possessing a tyrannical fleshly body as well as not needing to comprehend grand dao are that you can reach the god realm much easier. The weakness, however, is that you are unable to sense the grand dao, so every step after becoming a god becomes much more difficult!”
Li Yunmu nodded to her words, agreeing with them. But there were also some facts wrong among what she said. After becoming gods, they didn’t sense the laws of grand dao because they used godhood to make up for their flaws.
In the Origin World, even if someone became a god using godhood as long as they strived hard to comprehend the laws of it, their advancement speed would be very fast. For example, Little Bu who had used godhood was now an ancient goddess.
The biggest obstruction in becoming an ancient god was the power of belief introduced by Goumang Real World. With its existence, people didn’t need to bitterly chase after the god realm. They could just use the power of belief to become a god, and after that, they would be forced to continue using power of belief to advance.
The entire Origin World’s power of belief could allow only a single person to advance to true god realm. However, there were numerous gods in the Origin World, as well as ancient gods and master gods.
All of them got easily addicted to using power of belief to advance quickly, and they ultimately renounced comprehension of godhood to focus on competition for power of belief.
“I feel that you have a point, but—”
Just when Li Yunmu was about to retort, Yan Wanqiu shook her hand and said knowingly, “I know what you want to say, isn’t it about the damage of power of belief that harmed your Origin World? You are wrong though, and I will tell you why. Now, listen about the cultivation of my world.
“In the Goumang Real World, anyone who wants to cultivate must possess a spirit root. Without it, they can only be ordinary people. Those with spirit roots have to pay respect to a master and then enter a sect to cultivate. There are five main realms before becoming immortal, namely, returning origin, foundation building, golden core, yuanying, and passing tribulation.”
Li Yunmu put the names of the five stages to memory. They were completely different from the realms before god realm in the Origin World. He then continued listening to Yan Wanqiu’s speech.
“You all have a smooth sailing until you attain half god realm, but we don’t. We must pass three calamities and nine tribulations, which are divided into rupturing calamity during foundation building, scattering calamity during golden core, and destruction calamity during Yuanying.
“After the three calamities, if fifty out of a hundred people make it, it is already a very good result. Those who survive then have to go through nine tribulations. They have to go through three when going from golden core to yuanyin, thren three when going from yuanyin to passing tribulation, and then three more to become an immortal. During the last six tribulations, even three out of a hundred passing is an optimistic result.
After saying that, Yan Wanqiu stopped and returned to the chicken leg in her hand.
Li Yunmu frowned once he heard Yan Wanqiu’s words. He had never expected that the cultivation system of the Goumang Real World would be so cruel. It was extremely hard before reaching the immortal stage, apart from the returning origin stage which should be equivalent to flux expert, the other four stages had three calamities and nine tribulations.
Because of that, anyone in the tribulation passing stage could be considered as very formidable.
Li Yunmu turned toward Jue Qingi and couldn’t help but feel regretful. According to Yan Wanqiu’s words, Jue Qingzi reaching tribulation passing stage could already be considered as a very high achievement. Anyone who could become an immortal through such a terrifying cultivation setting would definitely be more formidable than the gods of the Origin WOrld.
“I will continue. There are four realms after becoming an immortal, namely true immortal, golden immortal, great principal golden immortal, and sage. The first three realms have three tribulations. That’s why I said that it was very easy to become a god in the Origin World. You have no more ways to refute it, right?” Yan Wanqiu asked earnestly while nibbling on the chicken leg.
Li Yunmu nodded. The cultivation system of the Origin World was indeed far easier compared to that of the Goumang Real World. It was smooth sailing before becoming a god, and after reaching half god real, they could use godhood to become a god.
Yan Wanqiu looked at Li Yunmu in approval and said, “There’s still one more thing I want to say. Although Goumang Real World’s cultivation is challenging, after passing every tribulation, heaven will repay one with laws of grand daos. Because of this, there is always a steady flow of experts in Goumang Real World, which is how it left the Origin World far behind.”
Li Yunmu didn’t say anything and recalled the situation on Earth. Previously, he had suspected that when True God created the gods of the Origin World, they had some sort of anomalies; otherwise, why were the Earth’s people identical to those from beyond the heavens.
After combining some facts, he had thought that the system had created the Earth in order to experiment. Now, when he heard Yan Wanqiu’s words, he began to understand. The system hadn’t obtained the cultivation system of Goumang Real World, so it could only make some guesses.
The result of it was that although Earth had many half god powerhouses, there wasn’t anyone who could become a god. Before, Li Yunmu and the system had thought that the reason for it was insufficient time. If they continued developing for a longer time, then someone was bound to become a god.
But after they heard Yan Wanqiu’s words, they understood the problem. The answer lay in the three calamities and nine tribulations. Although people of Earth matured through battle and were able to reach half god step after discovering flux energy, they lost their direction afterwards.
Some of them relied on world fragments to absorb the energy of other people to advance their heavenly world in order to become gods, while others continued increasing their strength by creating battle armor.
But both of those were external strength, and so the wrong direction. That was why no one was able to become a god on Earth even after it had existed for a very long time. The problem could only be solved by the addition of three calamities and nine tribulations, and using the laws of Origin World to discard godhood.
As long as they did that, a god would very quickly appear on Earth. After the first, there would then be a second, a third and many more. They would quickly raise to hundreds or even thousands. Another additional benefit would be that their path would become quite smooth after becoming a god, since they wouldn’t need to comprehend the laws of godhood after becoming a god.
In the mortal stage, comprehending the laws could be used a method to reward for successfully passing the tribulation. At that time, if a cultivator who had comprehended the laws created a martial art, it would be countless times more formidable than those created previously.
Now that Li Yunmu and the system learned the method, they only needed time to surpass the threat, Goumang Real World.
Once the laws of the Origin World changed, the only disadvantage would be that it would offend the gods of the Origin World. After all, when the transformation began, the new cultivation system would allow mortals to stand together with gods.
