Zhuang Jiutian was stunned in the starry sky. For a moment, he did not immediately suppress the backlash in his body, but stared at the starry sky in a daze.
He didn't know how long he stood there, but suddenly two bright lights of wisdom burst out from Zhuang Jiutian's eyes, as if he had been blessed by the God of Wisdom and figured something out.
He finally understood where the inexplicable worry in his heart came from.
Because he was missing something crucial.
This thing is not an object, but the fruit of a lifetime.
What he lacks is the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit in his first life.
This is why he always feels that the great path is lacking in his heart. Even though he has tried his best to live for four more lives and accumulated the great emperor's path and fruit for four lives, he still feels that it is not perfect enough.
Even now that the sixth life has begun, I still want to return to the mortal world and repair the flaws.
That's because the foundation of the fourth-generation Taoist fruit he has accumulated now is not the Taoist fruit that extended from his original body, but the fourth-generation emperor that was built based on the divine fetus that transformed from his old body.
Tao fruit.
In essence, the Dao Fruit of the Fourth Emperor he accumulated has little to do with his time-traveled body.
The divine fetus he transformed could be said to have given birth to a special Holy Spirit according to the rules of this universe. It was just born from the flesh and blood of a strong man.
Similar to the dragon and horse conceived in Kunlun Fairy Mountain, they were made of flesh and blood from the beginning of their birth. However, one was conceived by heaven and earth, and the other was conceived by the flesh and blood of a strong man.
It turns out that the current Zhuang Jiutian is not the real Zhuang Jiutian. No wonder he always feels that something is missing in his spiritual practice.
It turns out that what he lacks is not the experience of the mortal world at all, but the destiny of an emperor.
And it was the imperial destiny of his original body.
He did not become an emperor in his first life, that is to say, his original body did not break through the restrictions of this world, but was locked by the great road of this world.
This also caused the Great Emperor Dao Fruit he accumulated in subsequent generations to be unable to merge with the body he had faded away from.
His first life simply couldn't bear the impact of the union of Tao and Fruit, and it would become the biggest shortcoming on his path of cultivation.
What needs to be supplemented is not the so-called human experience, but the realm of the first physical body.
If that old body cannot be raised to the level of a great emperor, there will definitely be problems when Tao and Fruit merge into one in the future.
That physical body is the origin and the root of all the great ways he practices.
Just like building a modular building, the first Daoguo is the first floor. No matter how many floors are built in the future, they must finally fall together to become a high-rise building. If the foundation is not laid well, the layers will start to be stacked in the future.
At times, tall buildings can easily collapse.
Zhuang Jiutian's current cultivation level seems to be strong, but his foundation is too slender, and it is simply not enough to support the Dao Fruit he has cultivated over the years. If it were not for the Emperor-level Dao Fruit sealed by the World-Suppressing Monument, he would have been overwhelmed.
The path has come to a standstill.
If he doesn't make up for the underlying foundation, his road will collapse one day in the future.
Without an imperial-level physical body, it would not be able to carry the overwhelming power that would follow when the Tao and Fruit merge into one.
In this world, the powerful emperor's imperial way can already be compared with the ten thousand ways of heaven and earth, and can even surpass the ten thousand ways of heaven and earth. In other words, they have actually initially got rid of the chains imposed on them by the world. In the future
Full of infinite possibilities.
The physical body of Zhuang Jiutian, the peak of the first great sage, is still within the limits of heaven and earth. It is like a fixed container that will always be full one day.
The Emperor is different. Their bodies have exceeded the upper volume limit given to them by this world, as if they have directly transformed from a bucket into an endless sea. They are not afraid of overflowing if there are too many avenues.
This is why the great emperor who has been resurrected for nine generations can even accumulate enough Taoism to compete with the quasi-immortal king.
After breaking the shackles imposed by heaven and earth on one's body, the upper limit of the Great Emperor's Domain is extremely high, so high that one can accumulate Taoism that is infinitely close to that of the Immortal King.
Powerful people at the Immortal King level are so-called immortal beings. Even if the world is destroyed, they can still be immortal. Of course, the immortality here is only natural immortality, and those who are beaten to death by more powerful beings do not count.
It is precisely because a strong man at the level of an emperor transcends the limitations of the world that gave birth to him that he can accumulate Tao practices that far exceed the limits of heaven and earth. This is also the reason why an emperor who has embarked on the path of mortal immortals can continue to accumulate Tao practices from life to life.
Zhuang Jiutian speculated that the emperor who could fit the mark of Tianxin was the most junior emperor.
After entering the realm of the Great Emperor, you must continue to move forward bravely and find ways to break through the influence of the Tianxin Mark on your own way to transcend the higher. By then, you will be completely free from the shackles of heaven and earth and can develop to a higher level.
As for the great emperors who cannot achieve transcendence from the shackles of the Heavenly Heart Seal, they are not completely transcendent. It is just that their physical body has transcended the limitations of the universe and can exist for a long time, but their soul and Taoism are still under the shackles of heaven and earth.
A strong man at the level of the Great Emperor can only truly step into the threshold of cultivation in the realm of the Great Emperor by freeing his Great Dao Seal from the Tianxin Seal and detaching himself from above.
If they are unable to break free from the Tianxin Seal, or have no intention of breaking free from the Tianxin Seal, then such emperors are just ordinary people. In fact, they cannot really stand at the top of the extreme path, and their path has come to an end.
As time goes by and the body becomes old and frail, Taoism will continue to decline.
Because of the Tianxin Seal, those who enter the realm of the Great Emperor are invincible and have no opponents at all, which also makes them lose the motivation to continue climbing up.
Or after becoming emperor, their avenue has become comparable to the avenue of heaven and earth. Although they have not surpassed it, they have never fallen behind, which gave them the illusion that they have reached the end of the avenue.
When they go up, there is no reference, so they don't know how to practice, and they lose the sense of urgency and motivation to become stronger that they had before becoming emperor.
Perhaps it is limited by their talent. Becoming an emperor is already their limit. They simply do not have the talent and talent to create a path, extend it, and step into the threshold of true emperor cultivation.
In Zhuang Jiutian's first life, he died of old age without breaking the shackles imposed by heaven and earth.
If one day in the future, he wants to unite Tao and Fruit, his first life may be his biggest shortcoming, and it may be broken on the spot, causing his hard-earned Taoism to be wasted.
It's scary to think about it.
It turns out that becoming an emperor in one life has such an important aspect, as it can lay a solid foundation for the cultivation of the emperor.
If one cannot achieve enlightenment in one life, then those who live in the second life will have extremely limited limits after attaining enlightenment.
It is not like those great emperors who became enlightened in one life, who can continue to accumulate deeper Taoism in the realm of great emperors through transformation from life to life.
Of course, this premise is that one's own Great Dao Seal can break free from the shackles of the Tianxin Seal and become transcendent. Otherwise, everything is a lie.
From this point of view, the Tianxin Seal is not only a help to the emperor, but also an extremely tempting yoke.
If one does not have the consciousness of transcendence and allows a lifetime of imperial life to be wasted in the illusion of invincibility, I am afraid that such an emperor will have nothing worthy of praise on his path of cultivation.
Of course, it is another thing to want to be detached but not have the ability to break the shackles.
For example, the Empress did not first transform into a chaotic body and then become a Taoist being. Instead, she first became a Taoist and then transformed into a chaotic body.
It turns out that the monk's first body actually contains such a big secret.
Zhuang Jiutian couldn't help but feel grateful for his experience. If Jianyi hadn't suddenly appeared, he might have gone further and further down the wrong path. In the end, even if he accumulated the Ninth Emperor Dao Fruit, he would not have succeeded when the Dao Fruit merged into one.
.
Just like the samsara seal in Cao Yusheng's body, if the samsara seals accumulated by him are incomplete, then there will definitely be problems when they are unified. Even if he does not die, Tao Xing will never reach the level of being comparable to the top quasi-immortal king.

Zhuang Jiutian is in a similar situation. Although his Dao Fruit is not in the Reincarnation Seal, the Dao Fruit that he sealed within the World-Suppressing Divine Monument still needs to be unified in the future.
Unlike Ye Fan, the Tao and Fruit are not separated, but are accumulated from life to life.
The path to immortality taken by Zhuang Jiutian is similar to the accumulation of reincarnation seals, but it is different. However, in the end, he still has to face the key transformation of the unity of Tao and Fruit.
The Tao Fruit of any life cannot be a Tao Fruit restricted by heaven and earth, that is to say, it cannot be weaker than the Great Emperor Tao Fruit.
Otherwise, when the Dao and Fruit merge into one, the power of the Dao will be leaked, and the transformed Dao Xing will not be able to reach the limit of the Great Emperor's realm.
Returning to the Holy Emperor's Dojo, Zhuang Jiutian's expression became extremely serious.
After recovering from the injuries in his body, he soon made up his mind to start cultivating the secret realm of the Taoist Palace.
The five elements of essence between heaven and earth converged into his body.
One after another, Taoist palaces and sacred treasures were opened.
Without the aid of any scriptures, Zhuang Jiutian relied purely on brute force to open the five sacred treasures in the Tao Palace.
After the Dao Palace was opened, a mysterious Five Elements Essence flowed out from the Endless Gate, and then his physical body underwent a fierce transformation, directly crossing the threshold of the Great Sage and the Quasi-Emperor.
The Quasi-Emperor’s Thunder Tribulation is coming again.
Zhuang Jiutian came to the outside world, and it only took him two days to overcome the catastrophe of becoming an emperor in the physical body, and completely stand in the realm of the first level of quasi-emperor. There are no obvious shortcomings in either the physical body or the soul.
Afterwards, he returned to the Holy Emperor's Dojo and collected all his belongings.
"Do you want to leave with me?" Zhuang Jiutian asked the Emperor Pagoda and the Fuso Sacred Tree for their opinions.
Both expressed that they did not want to leave Ziwei.
Zhuang Jiutian didn't force it, he said goodbye to them directly, and then sealed the Holy Emperor's dojo again.
With one step, Zhuang Jiutian flew towards Beidou.
The quasi-emperor travels very quickly.
A few days later, he arrived at Big Dipper.
Although the nine holy mountains in the ancient restricted area have collapsed, the abyss is still there.
Outsiders still can't see clearly what's going on inside.
The life-devouring mist shrouded the abyss again, making it look particularly mysterious.
Zhuang Jiutian is protected by a sacred monument and is not affected by the fog.
After returning to the small world of Chengxian Road, Zhuang Jiutian went directly to the Empress Dojo.
Under the guidance of Huang Nu, he saw the empress sitting on the Taoist platform.
"Are you back again?" The empress was the first to greet Zhuang Jiutian.
"I came back this time to ask fellow Taoists for help. I wonder if my immortal copper coffin is with you?" Zhuang Jiutian's face did not have the usual relaxed look, but instead looked a little serious.
No one in the Ancient Forbidden Zone felt the whereabouts of the immortal copper coffin, which surprised him.
"Your copper coffin is not with me. I threw it into the Immortal Mountain to suppress it," the empress said.
There should be two or three Supreme Beings dormant in the Immortal Mountain. Zhuang Jiutian went there rashly, not wanting to have a fight with them. At this time, he didn't have the strength yet, unless he unlocked the Dao Fruit.
"Did the Stone Emperor who was suppressed by me ever die?" Zhuang Jiutian asked again.
"Still struggling." The Empress did not take any action to refine the Stone Emperor, as if she was waiting for the Stone Emperor's true destiny.
"I also ask fellow Taoist to help me." Zhuang Jiutian said very formally.
Ever since the empress met Zhuang Jiutian, she had never seen him show such a cautious expression.
This caused a look of curiosity to flash through the eyes of the empress. What on earth could make Zhuang Jiutian pay so much attention to it made the empress a little curious.
