"The Gate of Heaven is Closed, and the path beleaguered… What does it mean?"

Chen Fan was also shocked, so he looked further down.

"Since I was a boy, I have learned the way of Dao. Fate had brought this Sword Art to me during my sojourn in Mount Shu. With great trepidation and horror, I followed the instruction of the Art.
