Severing the Dao, a wedding held

"Next comes Dao Severing. You haven't been cultivating long, so take some time to build your foundation first."

Ancestor Ran Mu offered Jiang Yun this advice partly because Jiang Yun's cultivation had advanced too quickly in his eyes. He needed time to consider the path ahead.

He also wanted to warn him that Dao Severing was unlike other barriers. Spending a great deal of time on it was normal. If Jiang Yun failed to break through for ten or twenty years, Ran Mu feared he might grow frustrated and impatient.

After passing through two Heavenly Tribulations in succession, Jiang Yun was already close to the realm of Dao Severing.

Yet many dazzling geniuses had surged forward without pause until they reached this realm, only to remain trapped for thousands of years, vanish from sight, and sink into mediocrity.

Rumor even held that Great Emperors of the Human Race had nearly been defeated by this barrier. That alone showed how difficult it was.

The mediocre could never pass it, but the stronger a person was, the greater the resistance they faced. Their very talent might become an uncrossable chasm on the road ahead.

In this age, supreme sect leaders at the Second Layer of the Immortal Platform were hardly rare, yet those who had reached Immortal Three Dao Severing were almost never seen.
