40,000 Years of Cultivation

The wind mingled with blizzard, howled for a whole day and night, gradually ceased.

When the last ray of wind left like a flooded dragon, the whole world was completely changed.

Before the blizzard, although it was a desolate, barren and barren land, the earth can still see the gray of the rocks, occasionally you can see some sparse tawny grasslands, and several rivers that are close to dry, winding and winding. flow past.

At this moment, the sky and the earth are wrapped in silver. Looking around, the snowy field extends from people’s feet to the horizon, as if it is upright again, freezing the sky, and the rolling hills have become crystal clear. Bingfeng condensed into a white world.

It should be at noon when the sun is scorching, but the sun is struggling half-deadly on the horizon. The only faint light is just smearing the horizon with a dim orange red. The sky in most places seems to be frozen. The eyes of the dead fish are confused and chaotic.

Here is what the state of the Far North Wing Night Really looks like!

On countless maps of the past dynasties, this terrifying area, which has been frozen all year round and has no grass, is called the "Eternal Night Ice Field", which is a restricted area for most lives!

Although the blizzard has gone, the sudden drop in temperature has not risen. Li Yao surreptitiously measured it with a thermometer from the Star Federation and found that even at "noon", the average temperature was minus fifty or sixty degrees!

And here is only the periphery or even the edge of the Yongye Icefield, and it is far from reaching the location of the fairy palace. It can be foreseen that the more you go north, the lower the temperature will be.

This extreme low temperature cannot be described by the words "drops of water into ice". Every time people exhale, it is like spraying out a small cloud of ice mist, which then covers their faces, bodies, hair and beards. Condensed into a shell of ice.

The ancient sacred world is not as well-developed as the federation and empire’s mustard seed battle suits with warm and cold protection. Everyone can only wear thick and clumsy cotton robes—even if these cotton robes are specially made cold robes, mixed with fire spar and cotton wool. Various talisman.

Ordinary cotton robes will freeze into ice cubes in such an environment within a day or a night!

Even if I wrap my inner three layers and the outer three layers like a zongzi, the cold wind of the Evernight Icefield, like a cow's hair, still permeates in all the time, irritating the explorer's flesh, muscles, and bone marrow all the time. Some cultivators have to turn on psychic shields or cold protection magic weapons all day long to resist. As a result, the consumption of psychic energy and spar is greatly increased.

In addition, there is another trouble, that is, most of the magic weapons do not work well at the extreme low temperature, and the wear rate and spar consumption are increased, but the use efficiency is greatly reduced.

In the environment of minus fifty or sixty degrees, the rugged and beautiful lines on the magic weapons are all condensed with a layer of frost. The strength of the magic weapons of flying swords and knives has been greatly reduced, and even the universe ring is not working well, and cannot be extracted and stored. The items are terribly troublesome.

Magic weapons such as flying swords and swords can all be stuffed into the universe ring to solve them.

However, the floating array, dynamic array, defense array, and warm array on the psionic flying boat had to be exposed to the cold air.

Not only has the consumed spar nearly doubled, but the flight speed has also been drastically reduced by about two-thirds. The exploratory fleet that used to be fast-moving has now become an army of tortoises connected end to end, struggling hard in the frost hell.

Fortunately, before they started exploring, they had anticipated the problems that would arise today.

In addition to the elite soldiers and powerful generals, the thirty large ships carried were mainly spar and various materials, and each cultivator was equipped with at least two Universe Rings, which were all packed.

The ancient sage realm's Qiankun ring technology is naturally not more advanced than the Tianyuan realm.

The storage space is equivalent to a backpack, which means that in addition to the storage space in the cabin, each person can carry two extra treasures such as Qiankun Rings and Qiankun Bags used by most middle and low-level cultivators. The lifesaver of a big backpack, that's all.

At present, they also own 26 psychic flying boats. In addition to the wind guards who control the flying boats, there are also 978 masters from the "Huofengying" and other Imperial Guards, from the "six major factions." One thousand and twenty-six practitioners of comprehension.

"Master Lingjiu, please!"

On the deck of the first five-tooth ship, several guards and cultivators respectfully invited Li Yao to a strange-looking magic weapon.

It is like dozens of copper rings, large and small, nested together, rotating dazzlingly.

And on the track of each copper ring, there are countless shiny silver beads rolling and colliding, making jingling noises.

This is called the "Huntiandu Magneto", and it is a magic weapon used by the natives of the ancient sacred world to determine their position when they travel long distances.

In the ancient sacred world, measuring the precise coordinates of oneself has always been an extremely headache problem.

There are not hundreds of satellites in the synchronous orbit of the ancient sacred world to form a network. If you go to the sea or a barren land where you can't identify the east, the west, the north, and the north, how do you know exactly where you are?

In the outside world, in the early days of other ancient worlds, various astronomical magic weapons used to observe the stars were invented, such as the "Astronomical Disk", "Nine Heavenly Instrument", etc., through a series of complex transformations through changes in the relative positions of stars. Come to know the latitude and longitude of oneself.

The sorrow of the ancient sacred world is that the "stars" here are not the relatively fixed orbiting stars in the star sea, but the radiant and shining war remains near the ancient sacred world.

These war debris are torn apart by the gravity of stars, planets, and satellites, and occasionally collide with each other. Their positions and trajectories are completely chaotic and have no reference at all.

Therefore, the ancient sacred world only invented the magic weapon of measuring the strength of the magnetic field to determine the specific position of oneself until not long ago, and also invented the concept of "latitude and longitude".

However, the magnetic field strength is a rather vague concept and will be interfered by many factors, so the accuracy of this positioning method is not high, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Li Yao had already drawn a few rough maps of the position of the fairy palace from memory, which really can only be said to be "rough".

And several cultivators from the royal "Yutianjian" specializing in "astronomy and geography" turned the handles on both sides of the "Huntiandu Magneto" to make the copper rings of the ring-ring nest appear different. The silver ball on it kept bumping and bumping at the angle of inclination, and several people buried their heads together, not knowing what the pinch-finger calculations had done, and finally figured out where they were at the moment.

Connect the coordinates of this place and the coordinates of the fairy palace to form a line, and it will become their route.

The same work is repeated three times a day, constantly adjusting the course.

Sometimes there may even be magnetic field disorder, positioning error, and the result is going back.

But overall, after a series of arduous trek, they are still getting closer to the fairy palace day by day.

There has always been a vast ice field between the sky and the earth. Except for the white earth and gray sky, there is no third color at all. The depressing environment almost drives people crazy.

Fortunately, they are all cultivators with firm Taoism. In the past, they had practiced in retreat for a year and a half, and they barely supported it.

On the fourth day after entering the Evernight Icefield, they discovered for the first time something that did not belong here.

It was the wreckage of a psionic flying boat shattered by the wind, scattered on the ice sheet, almost completely covered by ice and snow, only a few bare masts were still exposed on the ice sheet.

In the wrecked psychic flying boat, there are likely to be spars and materials that have not been exhausted, and naturally they will not be let go.

They spent half a day digging out all the wreckage of the flying boat, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

It was not a flying boat, but a small fleet of three flying boats, and it was not a long time ago that it was wrecked, but it was only two days before it broke down and settled in the sand.

Although none of the three flying boats played their flags, Qi Zhongdao and others recognized many frozen cultivators.

"They belong to the Longhai School, Qishan School, Jingtianmen and other seven or eight sects!"

Qi Zhongdao's face was very ugly.

One of the prerequisites for the six major factions to be able to participate in this operation is that they must handle the disturbances of the other small and medium sects so as not to disturb the overall situation.

Li Yao didn’t know what method the six major factions used to reach an agreement with the small and medium sects, but now it seems that the Golden Core and the Nascent Souls of the small and medium sects probably did not intend to keep their promises at all, and even formed a speed ahead of them. A faster fleet, venture into the Evernight Icefield, and if you want to get on the ground first, discover the "Xiangong" first!

"Really seeking a dead end!"

Qi Zhongdao said coldly, "Even the six major factions and the court teamed up, as well as the best psionic flying boat and the best wind defender in the entire ancient sacred world. They must be careful, step by step!"

"With a few broken ships and such a small amount of manpower, these guys don't even have enough spar and materials. They don't even know if the'Huntiandu Magneto' is prepared or not, so they want to break into the Evernight Icefield and find the fairy palace first?"

"Heaven's sins are forgiven, but you cannot live if you commit sins!"

Not far from the wreckage of the wrecked Ling Energy Flying Boat, they found the body of a Nascent Soul Boss.

This man from the Longhai School was considered a great figure in the realm of comprehension in the past, but he died miserably, as if he had been sucked up all over his body and died like a skeleton.

According to the analysis of Master Qi Zhongdao and Kuchan, he should have escaped alone after the psionic flying boat encountered Gangfeng and collided with each other. He tried his best to fly out of the dangerous place, but was unfortunately involved in the Gangfeng. The swirling current can only continuously stimulate the spiritual energy in the body to counter the power of the heavens and the earth, and finally die of exhaustion.
