In but an instant, Fang Xiao utterly extinguished the thought.
After pondering slightly, he more or less understood why such a notion had suddenly arisen within him.
Among the many ancient texts Fang Xiao had read, there had been predecessors who speculated about this.
Even the Heavenly Dao had its flaws. If one pursued perfection too excessively in one's cultivation, it would instead block the path forward.
This was also why the deeper one's foundation, the harder it was to break through.
