The difference between the middle realms was like the difference between the peak of a mountain and the depths of an ocean.
It was just too much.
There was a reason that no one in the Chikitsa clan and all the other sword clans had reached such a stage.
Reaching the bronze rank required the accumulation of tremendous energy.
The energy acted as a push that raised the cultivator to the heavens.
Accumulating that much energy was not easy.
Also, a person must have sufficient talent.
The dantain must be abe to take in such rich amount of energy and not collapse.
It is said that the first person that made it to the bronze rank many years ago took more than a hundred years to reach such a stage.
For this many reasons, the bronze rank was considered a strong dividing line. It separated the middle realms from the lower realms.
