However, being able to preserve one's life and not directly perish after failing to prove the Tao can be considered an incredible stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"The drawback is significant, though, falling from heaven into hell. Such a fall from grace, how many can endure it? If this drawback could be resolved, allowing one to retain all their power after failing to prove the Tao, no, even just a significant portion, the path of achieving the Tao through strength could flourish in the world."
"If one could keep all their power even after failing to prove the Tao, they could start over and attempt a second proof. A failure in the first attempt but with an even stronger foundation would undoubtedly increase the success rate of a second proof."
"If two attempts don't suffice, then try a third, and if that fails, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth... As long as each attempt is stronger than the last, eventually one could accumulate enough power to succeed in proving the Tao."
