"According to the information I've gathered, nine out of ten grand cultivators are stopped at the first barrier, that is, the process of collecting their own Dao Fruits from the Heavenly Path and concentrating them in one region," Lu Yuan analyzed the problem at hand.
The reason for failure at this first barrier is not that retrieving one's own Dao Fruit from the Heavenly Path is exceedingly difficult.
In reality, it isn't difficult at all.
How vast is the Heavenly Path?
Though the Dao Fruits refined by cultivators are recorded in the hands of the Heavenly Path, they are, after all, just recorded by name.
It's like a farmer planting a seed in the field and, come next year, harvesting the ripe grain.
To the Heavenly Path, each of these Earth Immortals is like a seed that it has sown. All it has to do is to harvest them regularly after the ten-thousand-year period.
