Become a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
For Cultivators, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage often led to frequent encounters with bottlenecks, and it was even possible for some Cultivators to remain stuck at a certain realm within the Foundation Establishment Stage forever.

Lin Shiming previously had no confidence in when he could break through the late-stage Foundation Establishment.
