The path of the Great Dao becomes increasingly perilous and arduous the higher one ascends.
At every realm, every bottleneck, perhaps more than 99% of people are halted, unable to continue. Those who do succeed in reaching the shore, whether through strength, courage, luck, or otherwise, are truly one in ten thousand.
Take Taoist Master Qinghuo for instance, who many years ago found a great opportunity in the Phoenix Heaven Palace, an inheritance from an ancient Celestial Phoenix Palace.
Within that fortune, Taoist Master Qinghuo obtained a set of Heavenly Phoenix relic bones that surpassed the level of Dao Masters; with them, he saw the hope for breaking through the Hollow Void Realm's bottleneck to achieve the state of a Dao Monarch.
However, when he secluded himself in deathly meditation to merge his physical body with these bones, Taoist Master Qinghuo realized he had erred.
