Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

I asked around and got my Inner sect robes. I also headed to the Weapons Pavilion and saw that there were many armors from which I could pick.

I took the one that was still relevant to my current cultivation. It had to withstand the onslaught of the fights that I was about to go through.

I also wanted to hide the armor beneath my robes, and this armor was thin enough to do that. It was best to make this protecting grace a secret.

With all of this in order, I asked around and reached the frozen pond.

The frozen pond was very different from what I had expected. It had many, many layers. To call it a frozen pond was an oversimplification.

There were layers. With each layer, the ice felt more solid, and at the very center of this pond, fog stopped my vision. I could not see what was there.

And at the outskirts of the pond, numerous disciples bearing the Inner sect robes were sitting on the ice with closed eyes.

No one dared to make a peep. With so many people trying to comprehend the profundities of the Dao of Ice, who wanted to disturb them? They would become the enemy of everyone here, and it would be highly frowned upon without doubt.

I understood why the deacon laughed at me when I asked him why there were no time limits. To enter the pond, one needed to show his or her identity token. But after that, so many people left shivering.

They could not bear the cold. I was confident that I wouldn't be facing such a pathetic situation though.

"The system is truly godly. It gave me the greatest thing that I could ask for. It gave me this sudden enlightenment. I definitely wouldn't have won if it weren't for the system. But now, I need to make sure that I can win without relying on someone else." I steeled my will as I walked forward to enter the pond.

"You are the new disciple, right? Liu Feng? Looks like you are trying your luck with the frozen pond. It is only fit. Rarely do I see someone so well versed with the Dao of Ice before even entering the Frozen Pond." the person in charge of the frozen pond stopped me.

"I was just lucky and I had this lucky encounter." I smiled as I said.

"Go then. You have three attempts to enter the training grounds. One for being new, and two for entering the top one hundred. Use them well." the person said.

"Thank you for your kind words. I will make sure to make well use of this opportunity given to me." I bowed down slightly.

"Since you are new here, I will just warn you. It is not easy for you to enter the depths. Do not force yourself. If you can, then go forward. But there is no shame in staying in the outskirts. There are many others who stay here." he said.

I nodded. This was probably the caution that he had to give out a lot because of the many arrogant and stupid disciples who think that they can go to the center of the Frozen Pond without even understanding the Dao of Ice.

I stepped foot on the pond and my eyes flashed with surprise. This was truly wonderful. This feeling was like the dao of ice was being laid out in front of me, and I had to seize it.

Whatever was at the center of the pond, and was giving out this coldness, whatever created the ice, it was truly profound. I was standing on this ice, and I had no control of it.

Even though I could materialize ice out of the water vapor that was in the air, I could not even begin to control the ice that was beneath my feet.

I stepped forward, and the cold increased. Snow appeared on my eyelashes and my arms. It was stopping me from going forward slightly.

Although I knew that I could force myself to go forward, I did not want to. I did not come here to make a point. I came here to comprehend the mysteries that this place gave out.

If I actually tried to break through forcibly, then that would only exhaust me and I would leave early. I would only lose because of that.

I took a step back and sat down. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes.

The ice around me started to sing. It felt like the water around me was trying to tell a story. One drop that started at a pond, traveled to high heavens, carried by the sun, basking in its presence, and then came down to the mountains as rain. That same drop of water, freezing in the cold, and then slowly coming down the mountain until it reached the pond back as water.

It felt like a mystery to me, and a story at the same time. The story of a single drop of water would stretch back to the beginning of time.

I opened my eyes again and looked up at the sky.

"The same water that gives life, you gave it the power to take life away. What irony." I chuckled.

I raised my hand and a drop of water appeared in front of me. The water turned into ice, then water, and then steam. It turned back into water again, and then it dropped back to the ground or rather the ice.

"This water beneath me. Why is it so strong? Why is it so heavy?" I wondered.

The water droplet immediately turned into ice, and became part of the terrain. I sighed and looked away.

"The pond is truly marvelous. But in one simple session, I spent more than five days. Five days spent like fleeting seconds. How did this happen?" I muttered.
