    Because hardships strengthen resolve, the strong-minded will not be lured by worldly affairs.

    Today I step on grass; later I shall step on mountains and rivers!"

    From today, I will walk on the path of supremacy!

    Sweep the earth and laugh at the world.

    Tread the green mountains; step on the blue seas; bind the blue dragon; assault the sky!

    Bath in difficulties and sharpen the demonic soul; lift the flag and sing in triumph; defy heaven, defy fate, defy the universe!

    Prologue 1 - Early Wisdom for Ning Zhuo

    The massive Ning family caravan, along with the footsteps of spring, arrived in the southern fields together after a journey of three months.

    The spring was warm and harmonious.

    Large patches of rapeseed flowers were in full bloom, swaying in the spring breeze. The golden flowers resembled a layer of golden waves on the green sea, bringing endless hope to people.

    The caravan moved forward, rumbling.

    A middle-aged man dismounted and jumped onto a mechanical carriage in the caravan.

    He hurriedly pushed in.

    "Madam, look at this." The middle-aged man presented a pill like a treasure, taking out a dan medicine.

    His wife, pregnant with a child, lay on the bed with her eyes closed, resting.

    The carriage window was closed.

    The middle-aged man transmitted his spiritual power across the space, lighting up a spiritual lamp on the carriage roof.

    In the light, his wife slowly opened her eyes and looked at the dan medicine. The pill was clear and transparent, like a glass bead, shimmering with a faint golden light.

    The wife sniffed lightly, smelling the fresh and pleasant scent of the dan medicine, like the breath in a forest after rain, calming the mind and spirit.

    Surprised, the wife said, "This is the Early Wisdom Dan, a top-grade elixir. Where did you get it from?"

    The middle-aged man grinned, "Didn't I help Monk Qiangquan? He practices Buddhism, believes in karma, and must repay my kindness."

    "I told him that my wife is about to give birth, hoping that the master can provide some help for our child's future cultivation."

    However, the wife turned from joy to worry, "Husband, you could take this opportunity to ask the master to heal your injuries."

    "At the very least, you could seek the Lotus Seed of Universal Salvation from the Buddhist sect to enhance your cultivation talent."

    The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, "I'd rather not."

    "Even if I were to obtain a Lotus Seed, my cultivation aptitude would only rise from medium to upper-medium grade. At my age, I can't break through the bottleneck with upper-medium grade immortal qualifications."

    The middle-aged man squatted down, gently caressing his wife's pregnant belly, "Considering all this, it's better to leave this opportunity for our child!"

    "The main ingredient of the Early Wisdom Dan is a wisdom root from the Bodhi tree."

    The wife sighed softly, nodded slightly, and approved her husband's decision.

    "Here, take the pill." The middle-aged man stood up and handed over the dan medicine, "I will help you digest it with my cultivation."

    The wife took the dan medicine, and its gentle medicinal power acted on the baby in her womb.

    The Early Wisdom Dan could strengthen the spirit, open the spiritual platform, nourish the soul, moisten the heart field, allowing one to develop wisdom early and excel in intelligence.

    Pleased with the outcome, the middle-aged man's joy was evident, "Great, with our child taking this pill, they will develop wisdom early. Perhaps, they will remember everything we say now."

    "Next, let's try reciting cultivation techniques to them. Who knows, they might be able to cultivate even in the womb!"

    The wife chuckled, "You have such beautiful thoughts."

    "Even if they remember every word we say, they may not understand the meanings."

    "Moreover, their body's meridians are not fully developed yet. It would be detrimental if they start cultivation at this stage."

    The middle-aged man grinned, "Of course, I know that. I was just joking."

    He held his wife's hand, "Ah, only when one becomes a parent does one truly understand a parent's heart."

    "Our child has not yet been born, and I already unconsciously worry about his future."

    "I truly hope that he has good cultivation aptitude, the higher, the better, unlike me."

    However, the wife shook her head, "If he doesn't have cultivation aptitude, will I stop loving him?"

    "No, no matter what, he is our child, our flesh and blood."

    "I hope he has a certain level of cultivation aptitude, but not too strong."

    "We've seen and heard of many children with amazing talents who met untimely ends, haven't we?"

    "I just hope for a peaceful and safe life for him."

    Just then, an alarm suddenly sounded.

    "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Someone shouted loudly.

    The couple's expressions changed.

    "We are trapped in a great formation!" The middle-aged man, amidst shock and anger, forced himself to remain calm, immediately mobilizing his spiritual power and infusing it into his magical tools to protect himself. The mechanical carriage beneath him, controlled by his wife, lit up with various runes, significantly enhancing its defense.

    "Who goes there?" The elder of the Ning family exuded a stern aura as he ascended into the sky, shouting angrily.

    The attackers remained silent, only manipulating an ice and snow formation, unleashing another wave of changes.

    Hailstones the size of fists blanketed the sky.

    Casualties appeared in the Ning family caravan immediately.

    The elder of the Ning family chuckled, "Haha, very well! Even if you hide your heads and show your tails, did you think I wouldn't recognize you?"

    "Marquis Hanfrost, the Icebreaker Sect, it's hard for you to wait until we enter the southern border to launch an ambush."

    Having their identities exposed, Marquis Hanfrost and the Icebreaker Sect appeared.

    The former said, "Ning Elder, you left my Northern Wind Kingdom and sought refuge with the Southern Land. You should have anticipated this moment."

    The elder of the Ning family retorted, "I have already made it clear to the lord, leaving behind magical treasures and reaching an agreement. Your Northern Wind Kingdom's royal family has gone back on their word. After this battle, the world will know of your betrayal!"

    At this moment, the Icebreaker Sect sneered, "That's why I came here. Ning Elder, rest assured, after this battle, even if there are rumors, it will only be me seeking personal revenge as a member of the Icebreaker Sect."

    A great battle erupted.

    The elder of the Ning family was already outnumbered, having to consider the safety of his family members, and soon found himself at a disadvantage.

    Sensing the danger, the elder of the Ning family didn't hesitate to detonate a magical treasure, blasting open a temporary passage in the formation.

    "Quick, go!" The elder of the Ning family shouted.

    In the critical situation, the family's chief personally led the way, trying to bring more family members to escape along the passage.

    Snow wolves, formed from condensed ice and snow, hunted in packs.

    While the passage was shrinking, a large portion of the Ning family members remained trapped within the formation.

    "Don't push, don't push!" People shouted, panicking.

    The snow wolves attacked the crowd, bringing a gust of blood and death.

    Amidst the chaos, the young leader of the Ning family and two others squeezed into the mechanical carriage of the middle-aged couple.

    "Ning Zhong, Big Brother!" The young leader Ning Xiaoren saluted the middle-aged man, his face filled with anxiety, "The passage is about to close, let us borrow the mechanical carriage."

    However, due to carrying too many people, the mechanical carriage suffered damage from the ice and snow, its power greatly reduced, lagging behind.

    The wife exclaimed, "Zhong, don't go!"

    Ning Zhong furrowed his brow. With vast combat experience, he saw the situation clearly, "If I don't go down to stop the enemy, no one will be able to escape!"

    Ning Zhong suddenly turned his head, his eyes sharp, staring at the young leader.

    The young leader trembled and quickly swore, "Big Brother Ning Zhong, rest assured, I, Ning Xiaoren, swear that if we can escape this time, I will protect my sister-in-law, nephew, and wholeheartedly assist you on the path of cultivation!"

    Ning Zhong cast a deep, affectionate look at his wife.

    His wife's eyes were already red from crying.

    "Take good care of our child!"

    Ning Zhong clenched his teeth, turned abruptly, and with the two followers of the young leader, jumped off the carriage.

    The snow wolves howled, and the mechanical carriage staggered, entering the passage.

    Prologue 2 - Ning Family's Announcement

    Southern Cloud Country.

    Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

    Ning Family's territory.

    Today is the day of Ning Family's announcement.

    Nearly a hundred sixteen or seventeen-year-old youths gathered around the announcement board. These are all youths with cultivation potential in the Ning Family, the hopes of the Ning Family.

    "Don't push me!"

    "Hey, make some room."

    "I see it, I see my name, I'm number twenty-nine! Oh my, I made it to the top thirty."

    Suddenly, a youth in the crowd raised his arms and shouted.

    The crowded people paused, casting envious glances at the jubilant youth.

    The results of this examination were particularly important to them. Because from now on, they could no longer stay in the family school for cultivation, they must enter various industries, work, and engage in production.

    The youths in the top thirty of the examination would have the opportunity to join the Ning Family's industry, undoubtedly expanding their future prospects.

    As time passed, the youths who squeezed into the top thirty either laughed out loud or cheered with joy. Those beyond the top thirty had dim expressions, with no light in their eyes.

    Sixteen years ago, the Ning Family migrated, suffering heavy losses midway, and ended up fleeing to Fire Persimmon City in a sorry state.

    In the following years, the Ning Family recuperated, gradually recovered vitality, and slowly took root, still becoming one of the major cultivation families in Fire Persimmon City.

    Since birth, the Ning Family's descendants had been testing their roots, undergoing annual tests until the age of twenty-three.

    Those with cultivation potential were sent to the family's private school, provided for by the family, for full-time study.

    Among this group of people, there was a youth named Ning Zhuo, who usually dressed plainly, with a more outstanding appearance.

    Ning Zhuo's face was full of anxiety as he stared at the announcement board.

    He saw his name, ranked thirty-first!

    He was soon pushed out of the crowd by the surrounding youths.

    A tall and thin youth came over and patted his shoulder, "Cousin, your usual performance ranks in the twenties, how did you underperform in such an important examination this time?"

    Ning Zhuo didn't need to look up, he knew who it was from the voice.

    He raised his eyes.

    Sure enough, it was Ning Ji.

    Ning Ji appeared sympathetic and concerned, but his eyes were filled with schadenfreude. Normally, Ning Zhuo was always outperformed by Ning Ji in all subjects at the family school. It was rare that this time he surpassed Ning Zhuo and in such a crucial examination!

    Ning Zhuo's gaze was somewhat dull, and he subconsciously looked at the announcement board, murmuring, "I don't know either..."

    Among his classmates, there were many who looked similar to him, which only highlighted Ning Ji's cheerful face.

    At this moment, two youths approached.

    Ning Ji glanced at the two and smugly patted Ning Zhuo's shoulder, "I'll go first, you should go home soon too. My parents are looking forward to the results of this examination."

    The two youths were named Ning Chen and Ning Yong.

    Ning Yong said carelessly, "Ning Zhuo, I saw your results. It seems like you really underperformed this time."

    Ning Chen nudged Ning Yong with his elbow, "Even if he underperformed, he did better than the two of us."

    Ning Yong grumbled, "But falling outside the top thirty, what's the difference between our results? We can't enter the family's industry."

    Ning Chen looked at Ning Zhuo, "I heard that within the top thirty-five, you can still enter the family's industry. It just requires giving gifts and pulling some strings."

    "Your ranking still has hope."

    Ning Zhuo exclaimed, his eyes shining, "Is that so?"

    Ning Chen nodded, "You should go quickly, talk to your uncles about it. These opportunities are limited, if you delay, someone else might take it."

    Ning Zhuo couldn't help but show a sense of urgency, "I, I'll go back now and explain the situation to my uncles. Thank you!"

    With that, he hurried away.

    Ning Yong looked somewhat conflicted, muttering, "It seems like Ning Zhuo might actually squeeze into the family's industry."

    Ning Chen shook his head, "It's probably a long shot."

    He was often bullied by his cousin when he was young."

    "His uncles didn't treat him well, and if he has to use connections and give gifts at this critical moment, the price would be high, and they might not be willing."

    Ning Yong found it hard to believe, "At this crucial moment, wouldn't his uncles know what's at stake?"

    Ning Chen shook his head, sighing, "It's hard to say."

    On the other side.

    Inside the Ning Family's mansion.

    "Miss, Miss, you made it, you're the first in the examination!"

    A maid rushed in, her face flushed with excitement.

    The main family member, Ning Xiaohui, was making talismans, not even lifting her head.

    She used her fingertips to lightly slide on the talisman paper. Where her fingertips passed, a frosty trail spread gracefully, eventually forming a frosty talisman.

    Ning Xiaohui looked at the frosty talisman, a self-satisfied smile playing on her lips.

    She looked down at her hands, coldly saying, "I have a pair of hands as smooth as ice and fat, my talisman skills are top-notch. Winning first place, what's so special about that?"

    "Those who study with me, without exception, are mediocre and incompetent, what do they have to compete with me?"

    Ning Xiaohui's gaze kept shifting between her hands.

    She had an above-average appearance, but her hands were exceptionally beautiful, as if carved from white jade. Her ten fingers were slender and well-proportioned, with meticulously trimmed nails that were lustrous and full, resembling pearls reflecting on water ripples.

    The back of her hands had delicate and clear patterns, exuding a soft and elegant charm.

    Under the sunlight, the delicate veins on her wrists faintly glowed with a bluish-green hue, like fine threads of jade.

    She turned her palms upward.

    Casually performing a finger gesture, each of her ten fingers bent, and her hands bloomed like ice flowers. In the sunlight, her palms appeared translucent, tender and captivating, clear as ice and pure as jade.

    The maid beside her subconsciously held her breath, murmuring in admiration, "Truly beautiful."no
