The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5845

Charlie said seriously, “I think cultivation can also be explained scientifically. It's just that our current level of technology hasn't grasped the principles behind it yet. Reiki is just a higher form of energy, like atomic energy. When people hadn't mastered it, they found it incredible. Presumably, at that time, no one would believe that a kilogram of nuclear fuel could release energy equivalent to several thousand tons or even millions of kilograms of coal. Reiki might be a form of invisible energy similar to nuclear fuel.”

Vera smiled and said earnestly, “What you said makes sense. Perhaps Reiki is indeed as you say, another higher level of energy that most people haven't mastered or studied its principles.”

Charlie continued, “Even Reiki still has to follow the law of conservation of energy, right? There was so much rain just now. The rain stopped, but the water is still there—that's energy conservation. But now, where did the water go?”

With that said, Charlie continued, “Moreover, I used up most of my Reiki with that Thunder Order just now. Where did my Reiki go?”

Vera pointed to the sapling in front of them and said with a smile, “Your Reiki is right here! If it weren't for your Thunder Order, how could the Mother of Pu’er Tea break through the soil and be reborn?”

Charlie was puzzled and asked her, “Didn't the Mother of Pu’er Tea turn into charcoal over three hundred years ago?”

Vera nodded and said seriously, “Indeed. Back then, I saw her being struck by lightning and turned into charcoal.”

Charlie pointed to the sapling and asked, “Then how do you explain this?”

Vera said very seriously, “Young Master, although the Mother of Pu’er Tea is just a tree, she has survived the heavenly tribulation, after all. Although she is not a human, if you put yourself in her shoes, if a person can survive the heavenly tribulation, how terrifying must their strength be? Similarly, among the trillions of trees in this world, the Mother of Pu’er Tea is probably one of the best. Her abilities may far exceed our imagination.”

Vera chuckled and said, “What are you thinking, young master? Not to mention whether the legend of Transcendents is true or not, even if it is true, the legends also noted that the number of people who can successfully become Transcendents at the critical moment of failing the tribulation is very few. It’s difficult to even find one in a hundred, and the success rate is even lower than the success rate of one overcoming the heavenly tribulation. In other words, out of one hundred and two people who overcame the tribulation, only two can successfully pass it, while the other ninety-nine are crushed to pieces by heavenly lightning, with only one lucky enough to become a Transcendent.”

Vera then continued, “Young Master, since you used the analogy of college entrance exams, let me compare all those overcoming the heavenly tribulation cultivators to high school seniors who are about to take the college entrance exams. Becoming an immortal is basically equivalent to being admitted to top universities such as Queenston University, A-state University, Harvard, or Cambridge. As long as one doesn't get admitted to these top universities, they are basically eliminated, kicked out of high school, and sent directly to society, never having the chance to step into the campus in their lifetime.”

“Transcendents are like those unfortunate students who missed the cutoff for these top universities by 0.1 points. After becoming Transcendents, although they lose the chance to go to college in this lifetime, they have one advantage, and that is that they are allowed to continue their studies. However, they have to start from the first grade again and keep studying until they reach the third year of high school. After reaching the third year of high school, they have to stay in that grade for the rest of their lives, living and studying until they die, spending their whole lives as high school seniors.”

“Young Master, think about it. It’s like a person who fails the college entrance exam at eighteen and starts studying from scratch until high school senior year and then stays in high school senior year until they're a hundred years old surrounded by classmates who are perpetually eighteen years old who either went to college and left or were sent out to society, never to be seen again, and only they remain here, always stuck in this state. Transcendents are pretty much like that.”
