Cultivation is mentioned as being better at seeing the future than the Almighty. The book provides no physical portrait or personal arc in this material, leaving the figure’s appearance and nature undefined. The comparison nevertheless gives Cultivation an aura of far-reaching perception.
Description
Cultivation has no stated physical appearance in the text. Age, form, build, coloring, hair, eyes, clothing, and distinguishing features are unspecified, so none should be asserted as fact. The only impression supported by the mention is of a figure associated with extraordinary foresight.
