‘People with great lifespans possessed great spirits, and there was nothing they could not achieve.
‘People with great destiny possessed great fortune and were unrivalled.’
Fang Xingjian opened up to the first page of the Mountainous Sea’s Book of the Way, and these two lines were written on it. It wrote about the abstruse relationship between lifespan and destiny, and seemed to contain an extremely profound theory.
He flipped through the pages one by one and discovered that the Mountainous Sea’s Book of the Way was truly extremely obscure, deep, and profound. This was especially because the cultivation method recorded in it seemed to be the complete opposite of the way Knights cultivated.
Or rather, it could be said that the Friars across the entire Western Land valued one’s lifespan over fighting prowess.
I'll be honest here, I am not 100% certain that the first two lines in this chapter is the correct interpretation, but this is as good as I can get it to be, even after consultation with an uncertain author. I tried. I died (yes, again). :x
