To most cultivators, the Ancient Realm was just another level. By walking the ancient path, one could follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, they would search the techniques they possessed to find... the most original strand of Essence that was hidden within them.
By extinguishing one Soul Lamp after another, one could sink further and further into one's own self, into the depths of one's cultivation base....
In the end, in the great circle of the Ancient Realm, when Essence began to stir and life force thrived, Dao Tribulation would occur. One could tread the Dao path and enter... the Dao Realm, to become a truly almighty figure in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
During that process, each lamp that was extinguished was a deadly crisis, which made the Ancient Realm very difficult.
