[Just as you were walking around in search of an opportunity, suddenly, you heard a soft but excited yet unfamiliar voice calling out to you, "Husband, is that you?"]
[You turned toward the direction from which the sound came and saw a beautiful lady dressed in a silver long gown. Despite her beauty, her figure appeared illusory to you.]
[When the lady saw your face, she slowly began to approach and touched your face with her cold yet ethereal hand.]
[You quickly pushed her hand aside and asked why she had called you her husband.]
[Soon, you received her answer.]
[She said, "Husband... have you forgotten me? Could it be that you're within a reincarnation?"]
[Hearing her say the word 'reincarnation,' you stepped toward her, lifted her chin close to you, met her eyes, and said,]
"Listen.
The one you speak of may be my reincarnation... but me—no chance at all."
[You said all this with a sheer confidence that you don't know where it came from.]
---
[Within the Ancient Ruins, the atmosphere grew heavy.]
[Everything you said echoed within the mind of that lady.]
[Soon, after a day of recuperation, the lady recovered from her initial shock and said with instinctive certainty, "The confidence you have, the personality you possess... you're definitely him."]
[After saying this, she paused for a moment and then whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I know you won't believe me for now, and I don't care about that at all... but if you allow me to follow you, I can offer you the Ultimate Opportunity present here—as compensation."]
[Knowing that you would gain an opportunity, you agreed to her conditions and allowed her to stay with you.]
[Before asking about the opportunity, you asked for her name. The answer you received was: Xia Bingming. Her name was Xia Bingming.]
[Upon hearing her name, you were slightly surprised, as it was the name of the ancestor of the Frost Cold Holy Palace.]
[However, you didn't ponder too deeply about it and directly asked her to take you to the place of opportunity. After all, there were many legends buried within the Ancient Ruins, just like her—though she was slightly superior among them.]
[When you asked her to take you to the place of opportunity, she slowly approached you and said, "I'm the opportunity here." Saying this, she kissed you.]
[Soon after her kiss, you felt an insight appear within your mind.]
[You were slightly surprised by her actions, thinking, "Is this how insights were implanted in the past?"]
[Next, you focused on the vast ocean of insights that were constantly appearing within your mind and soon discovered the Ultimate Opportunity she had spoken of—Frost Domain.]
[Frost Domain: It is a magical power related to the Law of Ice, whose effects depend on both your comprehension of the Law of Ice and the proficiency of the Frost Domain itself. As your comprehension of the Law deepens, its effects will grow stronger. As your mastery of the magical power increases, it will even allow you to affect higher laws—such as Time, Space, Destruction, Creation, or even any Dao or Concept.]
[When you learned about the magical power of Frost Domain, it further strengthened your belief that every Dao is equal—it's just that some Daos haven't had worthy successors, unlike in the novels you once read.]
[However, to perform it, comprehension of the Law of Ice was mandatory—a Law you had yet to touch. But that wasn't a problem at all, because in addition to bestowing the magical power of Frost Domain, she had also directly transplanted insights into the Law of Ice. You simply needed to put in some effort, and you would eventually comprehend it.]
[After pondering the abilities of Frost Domain, you opened your consciousness and gave Xia Bingming—who had become even more illusory—a small space to reside within it. You then decided to remain there until you had fully comprehended the Law of Ice.]
[Two years later, you thoroughly comprehended the Law of Ice and could freely use the ability of Frost Domain.]
[After completing your comprehension, you left that place. But to your bad luck, just two months after leaving the Frozen Land, you encountered a monstrous genius—a girl, at that.]
[When you tried your best to fight against her, even using your newly obtained magical power, Frost Domain, you were shocked to find it broken instantly—so fast and overwhelmingly that even the girl didn't notice you had ever used it against her.]
[Soon, she subdued you and dragged you to a cave, and what happened next was something you had never imagined would happen to you.]
[But halfway through, you took the lead. Even though you were defeated in combat, you emerged victorious in that battle.]
[Soon, the fight came to an end, and surely, you won. Yet you weren't happy at all, merely staring at the sleeping beauty beside you—blood dripping—who slept peacefully with faint anger on her face.]
[If it weren't for your main goal of spreading your branches and her possessing terrifying talent, you would have killed that girl sooner or later for her audacity in forcing you.]
[After all, the child she would bear for you would also possess strong talent, and when he was born, your own talent would take a huge leap.]
[Still, you didn't want to wait for her to wake up and left that place immediately.]
[A month later, after your battle, someone stepped into the Frozen Land you had just left. You were unaware of this, but if you had been, you would have been extremely surprised—because it was none other than the girl you had just fought.]
[In the 137th year, you found a Holy Medicine related to spiritual consciousness. You consumed it and broke through to the God-Transformation realm while storing the Purple Divine Thunder within your body.]
[This time, due to the fear of people like her and other monstrous geniuses, you decided to directly refine the Purple Divine Thunder to strengthen your body.]
[In the 140th year, you successfully refined the Purple Divine Thunder. Because the density of Thunder Tribulation this time was higher, you fortunately condensed your Prison-Suppressing Divine Body to the Major Stage. Along with that, you completed the second turn of Destruction Intent and Thunder Intent.]
[Afterward, you left that place.]
[In the 142nd year, while searching for another opportunity, you saw a large crowd gathered at a location. You joined them and saw a pool constantly emitting a Destructive Aura strong enough to cause fatal damage to the surroundings. Yet the energy still remained confined within the pool, not leaking out even slightly.]
[From the discussions around you, you learned that this pool didn't belong to any warrior who had died in battle against the Immortal. Instead, it was a treasure of Heaven and Earth that had appeared due to the Destruction caused during their battle.]
[Until now, you hadn't discovered its name, so you began asking around for a knowledgeable person.]
[Fortunately, there were many knowledgeable cultivators around, and from them, you learned that it was called The Pool of Destruction.]
