Why was he able to get this far? Was it through effort?
Don't be ridiculous!
It was all thanks to a good father, having a powerful background, and his father providing him with numerous resources.
Thus, he managed to become a Refining Void Great Power despite his utterly mediocre qualifications.
Even just recently, he attempted to break into the Harmonization Realm. Had it been any other cultivator, they would have been fatally wounded long ago, yet he was merely gravely injured. With a bit of recuperation, he could continue to attempt Harmonization, and it wouldn't matter if he failed once or twice; sooner or later, he would succeed.
As long as he's tried all possible failures, the remaining one will inevitably be success.
His life experiences show that talent isn't important, perception isn't important, intelligence isn't important; having a good father is what's most important.
