True Self & Bottleneck

Wu Hong frowned; Wang Wei's current situation was new territory for her. After all, no one had ever achieved Ten Supremacy Foundation before this generation. So, she had nothing to reference; her vast knowledge and experience were not helpful in the current situation.

"I think I'm having my first cultivation bottleneck," Wang Wei said with a frown, slightly annoyed he could not figure out what he lacked--especially since the things seemed in the back of his mind. Most cultivators will experience Bottlenecks in their lives; it often prevents even the most brilliant Heaven Chosen from reaching a higher realm or cultivating some magical technique.

The worse thing about bottlenecks is that the most stupid reasons could prevent cultivators from succeeding at their cultivation. For example, what Wang Wei is missing could be something extremely obvious or obscure, like one specific memory he experienced back on Earth.
