The path of cultivation was endless.
At the beginning, one struggled to refine and temper one's body. Then, the cultivator had to pry into the secrets of the Heavenly Dao and enter the Dao realm.
After that, when the cultivator's comprehension of the Heavenly Dao increased, the cultivator would enter the Dao essence realm, allowing the cultivator to create their own techniques and decipher the Heavenly Dao fragments of others.
Beyond that, there was the Dao heart realm.
One level after another, it was like a stairway to heaven with no end in sight.
Moreover, it was not a uniform stairway. As one progressed on the path of cultivation, it would become increasingly more difficult to progress the stronger one became.
Each step forward would be met with countless difficulties and obstacles.
The joy of having just broken through would disappear in a short time when one faced bottlenecks.
