Zhao Cheng's previous understanding of the Ten Great Pillars was that they formed a closed loop, one that cycled endlessly once completed.
At the same time, once one attained higher dimensions, the higher-dimensional traits of the Ten Great Pillars would transform into a higher-dimensional body.
Without question, the Ten Great Pillars were the columns that upheld the grandeur of life.
But that was only part of their significance. The Ten Great Pillars were not merely pillars—they were dimensions in themselves.
The more pillars one lacked, the more dependent one became on the environment. To sustain one's own higher-dimensional traits, "merging with the Dao" was inevitable.
The more pillars one possessed, the less likely one was to be assimilated by the Dao.
Great Sovereigns were deathless and long-lived as heaven and earth, yet they would still perish when heaven and earth fell silent.
Thus, to achieve true Immortality, repairing one's incompleteness was an inevitable path.
Of course, filling those gaps did not necessarily require all Ten Great Pillars. Even with a few fewer, as long as they could form a closed loop, one could still become immortal.
It was simply that such immortality was not stable enough. It could only be called pseudo-immortality.
When the Ten Great Pillars became higher-dimensional, their essence was to become a dimension unto oneself.
Though that dimension was minuscule in scale, far inferior to the vast spacetime of the multiverse, in essence they were already the same thing. No matter how small a seed was, it was still a seed of the multiverse.
No matter how the external environment changed, one's attainment would remain eternally proven. One would not fall from one's rank merely because the outside world had changed.
There was no such thing as a dragon trapped in shallow waters, because one carried an
