This is because the Six-star Celestial Gate involves the transformation of talent, Sea of Spirit, and Contract Technique, which is a certain degree of finalization.
Take Kong Guofeng as an example.
He has a Purple Talent, but he did not complete the broken Dao Mark before becoming a True Man. He only completed one full Dao Mark upon ascension and engraved a second Dao Mark with True Intent fifty years later.
But if he were to go back and make up for his foundation, it might take a hundred years to even come close to building a second one.
Yet the Lin Guang before him is at least able to stack his foundation Dao Marks to six, or even higher, in the future.
This is why geniuses are the most treasured assets of each sect, why the annual provincial and national competitions can attract the attention of these True Men and giants, and they are even willing to invest substantial resources.
