“Do we lack the destined connection?”

Upon hearing these four words, Morgana furrowed her brow and blurted out, “Master, why do we lack the destined connection?”

Morvel Bazin responded indifferently, “Your time spent cultivating is too short and there are many aspects of understanding that practitioners can only grasp through analogy. But once you comprehend the symbolism within the Book of Changes, you will understand that humans possess numerous fates and fate holds the key to everything.”

Surprised, Morgana asked, “Master, what exactly is fate?”

Morvel Bazin explained, “Fate is the very foundation of humanity. Specific fates are represented by heavenly stems and earthly branches, or by birds and animals. The emperors of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, at best, had a strong orientation toward the Ming style. However, if they aimed to defy the heavens, they would need the power of the tiger or python style, or even ascend to the rank of the dragon. The higher the fate, the smoother the path to cultivating the Tao, and the greater the chance of defying one’s own destiny.”

Morvel Bazin sighed as he continued, “My own fate is that of the Chilin and although the Chilin is mighty, it is insufficient to truly change my destiny.”

Curiously, Morgana asked, “Then what kind of fate is sufficient?”

Morvel Bazin sighed once more, “If one aspires to change their fate, the dragon fate is merely a beginner’s level. But even so, the dragon’s fate alone is only qualified to defy their own life, while those who can truly change their destiny are the very best among the dragons.”
