Maybe I'm just suck at this game, but the difficulty spike from first realm to second realm is too much for me. Everything is too hard to craft now, and I can't even accept sect mission of previous realm.

Yeah currently it can be kinda hart when changing realms because all missions and such are now for the new realm.
Though I reported that to the DEV and suggested to make the missions transition slowly based on your stage in the new cultivation. So with future version this will probably change and you won't have that big difficult spike in the beginning (later on the difficulty doesn't spike at much from realm to realm, it's more noticeable early on).
