Xue Changqing rolled his eyes. "Anyone who has entered the Three Realms can only say that their cultivation experience is real. The bottlenecks, however, still exist. Not a trace of the cultivation they experienced there remains in their bodies. They still have to climb step by step and break through level by level themselves. Their bodies are no different from those who never experienced the Three Realms."
