Maria’s words stirred Rebbeca’s spirits, and he quickly asked, “Can the Divine Dragon truly defy the
heavens and soar as the cultivators claim?”
With a laugh, Maria replied, “My Lord, perhaps I was overthinking it. Divine Ascension is merely a
conjecture derived from people’s understanding of the Book of Changes. They believe that by reaching
a certain level of cultivation, they can ascend to another world like the fairyland in the East or the divine
realm in the West. However, based on my family’s comprehension of the Book of Changes, the
essence of cultivation lies in the continuous extension of lifespan and strength.”
Rebbeca humbly inquired, “Miss Clark, could you elaborate further?”
Maria nodded slightly and spoke earnestly, “Young Master, the extension of lifespan and strength
means that the nature of beings remains unchanged. It’s like a tree, no matter how tall or old it grows, it
remains a tree and won’t become a so-called tree demon, tree spirit, or tree god.”
“Perhaps with improved cultivation, the flowers and fruits it bears might have extraordinary effects, but
fundamentally, it’s still just a tree,” she continued.
Rebbeca nodded in understanding, “So, even if a person surpasses the limits imposed by the heavens,
they’re still human, albeit with a longer and stronger life?”
“Exactly,” Maria replied with a smile. “This is the true essence of Zhouyi. A person’s strength can
surpass the limitations of fate, but even after doing so, they remain human, not gods.”
“If the Mother of Pu’er lives for 10,000 years, it will inevitably face a catastrophe,” she explained. “If it
survives, it will still be the Mother of Pu’er tree, standing by Heaven Lake as the same tree it always
was.”
Then she added, “As for the Heavenly Cultivation, its height far exceeds the comprehension of ordinary
beings. To put it provocatively, it’s like the Master’s strength dooming him to only live for a thousand
years. If he breaks through that limitation, he may live for two thousand years. But to live until the day
when the Cultivation of Heaven descends might take five thousand years, or even ten thousand.”
Curious, Rebbeca asked, “Miss Clark, do you know how high the Cultivation of Heaven is?”
Maria shook her head, replying, “I have only lived for less than four hundred years; how could we
fathom the heights of heaven?”
Then, as if remembering something, she said to Mandra, “By the way, the Mother of Pu’er should have
lived for 10,000 years. That’s what my family’s calculations show.”
Rebbeca nodded and asked, “Since you have deep knowledge of the Book of Changes, can you tell
me what will happen if the Mother of Pu’er breaks through the heavens?”
Maria explained, “Once it survives the catastrophe and breaks through the limitations of fate, it can
absorb reiki from the heavens and the earth, furthering its own practice and making it more effective.
Perhaps one day, a single leaf could have the effects of a rejuvenation pill, extending a person’s life by
twenty years.”
She continued with a smile, “So, the legendary Queen Mother’s fruit, said to grant immortality, may not
be entirely fictional. If a certain tree breaks through the limitations of fate and accumulates tens of
thousands of years of cultivation, perhaps such a fruit could truly exist.”
Rebbeca voiced his doubts, “But isn’t there no reiki in the world?”
Maria nodded, “According to the Book of Changes, reiki doesn’t exist for those who haven’t survived
the catastrophe. But after the catastrophe, reiki emerges.”
Perplexed, Rebbeca said, “This sounds quite implausible…”
Laughing, Maria replied, “I too thought it was unrealistic at first. But when my family encountered
modern technology and radio after World War II, a realization struck me. Reiki energy may be akin to
radio frequency, imperceptible to ordinary people’s bodies. But once they have the means to receive it,
they can continuously absorb its contents. Perhaps aura works in a similar way.”
Wide-eyed, Rebbeca exclaimed, “So, the Age of Doom might not really be the end?!”
Maria explained, “The Age of Doom is just a description passed down through generations. People
have obtained the ancient cultivation methods and experiences, but they can’t achieve the same
results. Hence, they concluded that reiki has vanished from the world, signaling the Age of Doom. But
in reality, no one can say for certain. I can’t guarantee that my understanding of the Book of Changes is
flawless, so everything I’ve shared is just for your reference.”
Rebbeca nodded, believing most of what Maria said to be credible. He felt that her perspective was
more trustworthy, and the idea of ascending to become a fairy seemed more like a fairy tale.
Thus, he steered the conversation back to Divine Dragon and asked, “Miss Clark, how can we
determine if someone is Divine Dragon? If I provide you with my father’s birth date, could you figure it
out?”
Regrettably, Maria shook her head, “My family cannot calculate the Divine Dragon formation, and my
understanding of Changes has only recently introduced me to the concept. I still don’t know how to
determine if a person is a Divine Dragon. I’ve been stuck in a certain aspect that I can’t figure out.”
Curious, Rebbeca asked, “What aspect is causing you trouble?”
Maria admitted, “Based on the Book of Changes deductions, although Divine Dragon exists, it hasn’t
been born yet.”
Surprised, Rebbeca asked, “Not born?! Can’t destiny be cultivated?”
Shaking her head, Maria replied, “My Lord, I don’t know either. This is just my deduction. The Divine
Dragon is not born, but how it comes into existence, I don’t know. I can’t be certain if my deduction is
correct; it’s possible that I made a mistake.”
After a moment of hesitation, Maria looked at Rebbeca and said in a low voice, “My Lord, there’s a
saying in my family, but I’m not sure if I should share it.”
Rebbeca encouraged her, “Miss Clark, please feel free to tell me.”
Maria disclosed, “I believe that your father might not be Divine Dragon, or even a Dragon.”
Surprised, Rebbeca asked, “Why are you so certain?”
Maria explained, “The Divine Dragon’s fate is the most formidable in hundreds of years. How could the
heavens allow him to be killed at a young age? And by Gideon, whose fate is several ranks lower?
Even a Dragon, the strongest and highest, can navigate through mountains and rivers, turning dangers
into opportunities, as long as his opponent’s fate and strength aren’t superior, and they don’t attack in
numbers! Fate’s strength is not mere talk!”
