The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5755

Charlie said, “I just met my grandparents’ family. My eldest uncle mentioned that my father happened to obtain a book called the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book. Although my eldest uncle didn't know what was written in the book, he remembered my father often mentioned terms like the ‘fate of the ascending dragon’. I once heard Master Lennard say that people's destinies can be categorized into different destinies such as the fate of the python and the fate of the dragon, but I didn't know what the fate of the ascending dragon is.”

Vera didn't answer Charlie's question but curiously asked, “When you mentioned Master Lennard, which Master Lennard are you referring to? What's his name?”

Charlie replied, “He is Chandler Lennard, the direct descendant of the Feng Shui master, Master Brice Lennard…”

Vera murmured, “Gold is solid, wood is tough, water is clear, fire burns, earth is hard, and wind is strong. The Chandler Lennard you mentioned should be the great-grandson of Jory Lennard, my family's Feng Shui master back then.”

Charlie asked in surprise, “Miss Lavor, you are acquainted with the ancestors of the Lennards as well?”

Vera nodded and said, “The reason I know about Feng Shui and the Book of Changes as well as the Eight Diagrams is because I followed Jory to study the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams in my early years. My master generously taught me many things he couldn't comprehend himself. Over the past two or three hundred years, I have gradually deciphered most of the problems he left behind, which has led to my modest achievements in the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams today…”

Charlie couldn't help but sigh and say, “Indeed, that’s the advantage of longevity… With ample time, any knowledge can be comprehended and mastered, surpassing the original.”

Vera smiled faintly, then nodded and said, “You're right, Young Master. The Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams was authored by great sages of immense wisdom. The knowledge they left behind is such that an ordinary person might only grasp a fraction of it in their lifetime. Even with exceptional talent, if one only lives for seventy or eighty years, they might only understand two or three aspects of it. Only one with a longer lifespan can understand more than half of it…”

Charlie agreed with a nod, but he also felt somewhat impatient. He quickly asked, “Miss Lavor, what does the ‘fate of the ascending dragon’ mean?”

Vera replied seriously, “The fate of the ascending dragon is a higher form of destiny than the fate of the dragon.”

Vera nodded and said with a smile, “It’s exactly as you’ve said, Young Master.”

Vera then added, “As for the fate of the ascending dragon, according to the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, when the dragon ascends, both heaven and earth will honor it as the highest authority. In this world, only one with the fate of the ascending dragon can defy the laws of nature because it can ignore the laws of heaven, and heaven has no power to punish the ascending dragon.”

“All other destinies are within the control of heaven. If one wants to surpass the laws of nature, they will inevitably encounter heavenly tribulations. To speak a bit rebelliously, it's like my master. He lived for a whole millennium, thinking he could defy fate, but in reality, he hadn't yet attained the insight of heaven.”

“If heaven's law is ten thousand feet high, then before anything in this world reaches nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet, it is under the control of heaven. But as soon as it's about to break through, heaven will exert all its power to punish it. This is what people often refer to as heavenly tribulations!”

At this point, Vera paused slightly, and her expression turned serious as she proclaimed, “However, in all things on heaven and earth, the only exception is one with the fate of the ascending dragon!”
