Third Person’s POVThe moment those words left her mouth, Ethan’s expression finally became somewhat serious.
"It is known as the Frozen Origin Dew."
"Unlike Ice Soul Water, which merely extends one’s lifespan, the Frozen Origin Dew possesses an incomparably pure Life attribute hidden beneath its ice and water elemental energies."
"And it is precisely because of that reason that it is coveted by every mid-stage Sky Realm Water and Ice element mage of this region, and other regions beyond."
Shixea slowly continued her explanation.
"As you already know, the third stage of the Sky Realm is known as the Realm of Life Origin."
"That realm derives its name from the first traces of Life being born within one’s future Magic Dimension."
"After a mage enters the Realm of World Opening, they gradually transform their incomplete and conceptual Magic Dimension into a semi-true world that starts existing somewhere between reality and illusion."
"However, merely possessing sufficient mana density and magical comprehension isn’t enough to continue progressing forever.
To successfully transcend the Realm of World Opening and enter the Realm of Life Origin, one’s Magic Dimension must begin possessing the attribute of Life itself."
"Only then can a mage truly be said to have stepped onto the path leading towards becoming a Heaven Connection Realm expert in the distant future."
Her expression became increasingly solemn.
"Unfortunately, comprehending the mysteries of Life has never been easy.
Throughout history, countless geniuses possessing extraordinary talents have remained trapped within the Realm of World Opening for centuries before ultimately dying of old age."
"Many of them possessed Magic Dimensions vast enough to rival small worlds, yet not even a single blade of grass could be born within them."
"And without Life, there can be no Origin, and without Origin, there can be no future."
"That is the cruel truth of the Sky Realm."
She paused briefly before continuing.
"Naturally, Frozen Origin Dew isn’t capable of allowing someone to directly advance into the Realm of Life Origin.
If such a heaven-defying treasure truly existed, every hegemonic power throughout the continent would probably go mad over it."
"Its true purpose lies elsewhere."
"It possesses one of the purest manifestations of the Life attribute found within the Northern Glacial Region and is capable of greatly increasing the probability of successfully comprehending the mysteries of Life for Water and Ice element mages."
"For many mid-stage Sky Realm experts who have remained trapped for centuries, obtaining even a single drop of Frozen Origin Dew is equivalent to obtaining another opportunity at reaching greater heights."
"And that is precisely why every time the Glaciem Ice Abyss opens, even the mighty Sky Realm experts of the Northern Glacial Region are willing to risk their lives for it, though they can’t enter the realm themselves."
Shixea slowly leaned back into her chair before continuing,
"You must understand something, Young Master."
"Although mid to late Sky Realm experts are beings whom the overwhelming majority of ordinary mages may never even have the opportunity to meet in their entire lives, they are ultimately beings pursuing greater heights just like everyone else."
"And the higher one climbs on his divine ascension path, the more precious opportunities capable of allowing one to advance become."
Her pale-blue eyes narrowed ever so slightly.
"After all, no one wishes to see the path they have walked upon for centuries suddenly come to an end, especially those who have already remained trapped within the Realm of World Opening for hundreds of years."
"For many of them, Frozen Origin Dew may very well be another opportunity to continue walking further upon their path."
She paused briefly before continuing her explanation.
"The Glaciem Ice Abyss doesn’t merely concern the younger generation, and its opening affects many visible powers throughout the Northern Glacial Region."
"Ancient noble families, prestigious organizations, and countless old monsters hidden from the eyes of the world quietly begin making preparations generations beforehand for such an opportunity."
"After all, although they cannot enter the realm themselves, nothing prevents them from nurturing someone capable of doing so."
"Some may place their hopes upon their descendants, while others may choose their disciples or successors."
"There are also many who would willingly offer precious magical resources, ancient inheritances, or lifelong protection in exchange for such an opportunity."
"To many young geniuses, the opening of the Glaciem Ice Abyss is a heaven-sent opportunity, though to many mid-stage Sky Realm experts, it may represent something even more precious."
"Hope."
Ethan quietly listened to her explanation without interrupting.
"Do not underestimate that word, Young Master, as people are willing to do unimaginably foolish and desperate things when their futures and the dream of eternity are placed before them, and the longer they have lived, the more terrifying that desperation can become."
"Frozen Origin Dew isn’t merely a heavenly treasure.
For some, it is simply another magical resource, but for others, it may very well be their final opportunity to witness greater heights before the end of their lives."
Her expression gradually became solemn once more.
"Naturally, that doesn’t mean everyone who obtains Frozen Origin Dew will successfully step into the Realm of Life Origin."
"Throughout history, countless extraordinary geniuses have refined it only to fail in the end."
"At best, it merely grants one another an opportunity, and whether that opportunity can ultimately be grasped or not depends entirely upon one’s talent, comprehension, foundation, fortune, and destiny."
"Otherwise, the Northern Glacial Region would have produced countless Realm of Life Origin experts long ago."
It was at that moment that Ethan suddenly interrupted her with a slightly annoyed expression upon his face.
"Can you stop with this information dump already, lady?
I am getting tired of listening to it.
Tell me the secret that those Marquis Families, the Mage Association don’t know—the one that’s more important than these two treasures."
There was both truth and pretense hidden behind his complaint.
Although Ethan was naturally interested in both treasures, he had long since realized that Shixea had deliberately spent so much time explaining their importance.
If she was willing to explain something in such detail, then whatever secret she had been gradually leading the conversation towards was undoubtedly even more valuable.
More importantly, he was genuinely beginning to grow bored of her lengthy lecture.
