The difficulty of the road can only be known by those who walk it.
In this world, countless cultivators exist, some with mediocre talents, others extraordinarily gifted, all filled with awe for this exceedingly arduous path of cultivation.
From the Golden Core Realm that doubles the lifespan of the mortal body, to the Immortal Dao Barrier separating the mortal from the immortal, and then to the Golden Immortal Realm, where one can master the grand Dao and roam the world with the Dao's rules, followed by the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, which involves gathering three flowers atop the head and five breezes within the chest, signifying true attainment of the Dao.
Each checkpoint blocks countless cultivators, leaving countless geniuses sighing in vain, beating their chests in frustration, and ultimately fading into the crowd.
Among them are not a few individuals like Jiang Ziya, who considers themselves exceptional.
