Fremont felt like Wilbur understood, so he pointed to the grass around them and said, "Tell me this, Wilbur. Why is it that within a hundred miles, Snow Mountain Lydia is perpetually frozen, yet at the very top, we see melting ice and snow?"


    "Um..." replied Wilbur.


    He looked around then he shook his head. He said, "I don''t know, sir."


    "Haha!"


    Fremont threw his head back andughed. He said, "Alright, I''ll tell you since you don''t know."


    He exined, "Dragons are special products of this energy that permeates dimensions. This means that dragon aura is the most powerful. It is the key to opening up all dimensions and oveing the toughest obstacles within the river of energy. Therefore, the melting ice and snow here are intrinsically linked to the dragon n. Dragons cannot leave the water, or they will quickly die from thirst if they do. On Snow Mountain Lydia, where the ice and snow are frozen, this ce is also a waterlessnd for the dragon n."


    Wilbur said in a puzzled tone, "Wait, Fremont. ording to what you said, the desert, being very dry, should be where dragon aura cannot traverse. So why is there no formation in the desert, while a formation appears on this snow mountain?"


    "You''re wrong. There are formations in the desert as well, but they are not directly rted to dragon aura. Dragon aura can traverse through the underground water beneath the desert. However, on this snowy mountain, with its height of several thousand meters and the ice and snow, the dragon aura reaches a dead end without the nourishment of water."


    ''One must have a suitable opportunity to leave this ce. That opportunityes every summer when the ice and snow melt. As the ice and snow turn into water, the dragon aura can once again flow and leave this ce,'' thought Wilbur.


    Wilbur looked around and frowned. He asked, "So, the dragon aura gets trapped here until the following summer when the ice and snow melt, allowing the dragon aura to flow again and leave this ce?"


    "That''s right. However, melting the ice and snow is not an easy task, especially on such a cold snow mountain," replied Fremont.


    "So, how does the ice and snow on Snow Mountain Lydia melt?" asked Wilbur.


    "Dragon aura is the ultimate warm energy. If one''s heart is pure and they release this warm energy, it will melt the ice and snow."


    Wilbur looked at Fremont with an incredulous expression when he heard that and said, "So, the dragon aura that reaches this ce relies on releasing its warm energy to melt the ice and snow. Did youe here just to absorb the dragon aura, Fremont?"


    "You''re half right. What I actually want to tell you is that a person''s true energyes from within, not from external things. Just like how you can''t control the cauldron fragments with your will alone, because you''re merely hoping to control them with your will, and not being the will of the cauldron itself. If you understand the will of the cauldron itself, then you will be able to easily control it and make it take shape. Remember, your will and the will of the object are two different wills. Only by understanding the other can you control it. Alright, keep working hard. I''ll go for a walk around."


    Fremont transformed into a streak of gold light and vanished after saying that. Wilbur stood in ce, looking at the cauldron fragments on the ground, and whispered to himself, "My will and the will of the object are two different wills. I cannot impose my will upon the object."


    Wilbur repeated that several times, he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to meditate. He finally had an epiphany after one full day of contemtion. He was ultimately different from others, and the key to sess was in the will of the cauldron itself.


    Wilbur stood up, extended his hand toward the cauldron fragments, and guided them into the air using the will of the cauldron. Then, he eximed joyously, "I understand now! I finally understand!"


    Over the next three days, Wilbur sessfully harnessed the will of the cauldron, controlling the nine cauldrons and causing them to take shape. They held together for fifteen minutes in the cold wind, whichpleted Senior Fremont''s test.
