The Vaen were a very powerful race that had been around for more than a single epoch. The Vaen Epoch had ended long ago, but the Vaen Race had survived that calamity and even went on to thrive through more than a single epoch after that. In the current Immortal Dao Epoch, the Vaen were still around. They rejected the Immortal Dao system and continued with the Vaen Crossing, their own cultivation system. One couldn't say that the Immortal Dao system was more powerful when compared to the Vaen Crossing. After all, the Vaen had managed to establish an Epoch using the Vaen Crossing.
