The strong wind mixed with blizzards roared for a whole day and night before gradually subsided.
When the last ray of strong wind disappeared like a well-fed dragon, the entire world was completely changed.
Before the blizzard swept through, although it was a desolate and barren land, the gray of the rocks could still be seen on the earth.
Occasionally, you could see some sparse yellow-brown grasslands, and several winding rivers that were close to drying up. flow through.
At this moment, the sky and the earth are covered in silver.
Looking around, the snowfield extends from people's feet to the horizon, as if vertically upwards, freezing the sky, and the rolling mountains have turned into crystal clear mountains.
The ice peaks condensed into a white world.
It should be a scorching noon hour, but the sun is struggling half-deadly on the horizon.
The only weak light just paints the horizon with a dim orange-red color.
The sky in most places seems to be frozen.
The dead fish eyes are confused and chaotic.
This is what the Far North State of Eternal Night really looks like!
On countless maps throughout the ages, this terrifying area that is frozen all year round and barren of any grass is called the "Eternal Night Icefield".
It is a forbidden area for most life!
Although the blizzard has gone away, the plummeting temperature has not improved.
Li Yao secretly used the Star Federation's thermometer to measure it and found that even at "noon", the average temperature was minus 50 or 60 degrees!
And this is only the periphery or even the edge of the Evernight Icefield, and is far from reaching the location of the Immortal Palace.
It can be predicted that the further north you go, the lower the temperature will be.
This extreme low temperature cannot be described by the words "dropping water turns into ice".
Every time people exhale, it is like a small cloud of ice mist is sprayed out, and then it covers their face, body, hair and beard.
Condensed into an ice shell.
The Ancient Holy World does not have the mustard combat uniforms that are as developed as the Federation and the Empire that can keep out the cold.
Everyone can only wear thick and clumsy cotton robes.
Even these cotton robes are specially made to keep out the cold.
The cotton is mixed with fire crystals and various kinds of robes.
Plant talismans.
Ordinary cotton robes will freeze into ice cubes in less than a day and night if placed in such an environment!
Even if the inner and outer three layers of the body are wrapped like a rice dumpling, the cold wind of the Yongye Icefield is still penetrating in pervasively, stimulating the flesh, muscles, and bone marrow of the explorers all the time.
Some cultivators have to turn on psychic shields or cold-proof magic weapons around the clock to resist.
As a result, the consumption of psychic energy and crystals increases significantly.
In addition, there is another trouble, that is, most magic weapons do not work well at extremely low temperatures.
The wear rate and crystal consumption increase, but the efficiency of use is greatly reduced.
In an environment of 50 to 60 degrees below zero, a layer of frost has condensed on the uneven and exquisite textures on the magic weapons.
The strength of magic weapons such as flying swords and knives has been greatly reduced.
There are even cases where the Qiankun Ring is not functioning properly and cannot be extracted and stored.
Items are in serious trouble.
Magical weapons such as flying swords and war knives can be stuffed into the Qiankun Ring to solve the problem.
However, the floating array, power array, defense array and warmth array on the psychic airship had to be exposed to the cold air.
Not only did the amount of crystals consumed nearly doubled, but the flight speed also dropped significantly by about two-thirds.
The originally speeding exploration fleet now turned into an army of turtles connected end to end, struggling hard in the frost hell.
Fortunately, they had anticipated the problems that would arise today before starting their exploration.
In addition to elite soldiers and generals, the thirty large ships mainly carried spar and various supplies, and each cultivator was equipped with at least two Qiankun Rings, all of which were filled to the brim.
The Qiankun Ring technology in the Ancient Saint World is naturally not more developed than in the Tianyuan World.
Most of the middle and low-level cultivators here use storage magic weapons such as Qiankun Ring and Qiankun Bag.
The storage space is equivalent to a backpack.

That is to say, in addition to the storage space in the cabin, each person can carry two extra A life-saver for a big backpack, that’s all.
Now, they still have twenty-six psychic airships.
In addition to the wind controllers who control the airships, there are also 977 masters from the "Fire Phoenix Camp" and other imperial guards, from the "Six Major Sects" There are one thousand and twenty six cultivators.
"Master Lingjiu, please!"
On the deck of a large five-tooth ship, several imperial guards and cultivators respectfully invited Li Yao to a strange-looking magic weapon.
It was like dozens of large and small copper rings nested together, performing dazzling rotations.
On the track of each copper ring, there are countless shining silver beads rolling and colliding, making a jingling sound.
This is called the "Huntian Magnetometer", and it is a magic weapon used by the natives of the ancient holy world to determine their orientation when traveling long distances.
In the ancient holy world, measuring the precise coordinates of one's location has always been an extremely troublesome problem.
There are not hundreds of satellites forming a network in the synchronous orbit of the ancient holy world.
If you are on the sea or in a barren land where you cannot distinguish the east, west, south, and north, how do you know exactly where you are?
In the outside world, in the early days of other ancient cultivating worlds, various astronomical magic weapons were invented for observing stars, such as "astrological disks", "nine-celestial instruments", etc., through changes in the relative positions of the stars, a series of complex transformations were carried out. to find out your latitude and longitude.
The tragedy of the Ancient Holy World is that the "stars" here are not stars with relatively fixed orbits in the sea of stars, but the shining remnants of ancient wars near the Ancient Holy World, full of radiation.
These war debris are torn apart by the gravitational pull of stars, planets and satellites, and occasionally collide with each other.
Their orientation and trajectory are completely chaotic and have no reference significance at all.
Therefore, it was not long ago that the ancient holy world invented the magic weapon of measuring magnetic field strength to determine its specific position, and also invented the concept of "latitude and longitude".
However, 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, and it can only be said to be better than nothing.
Li Yao had already drawn several rough maps of the directions of the Immortal Palace from memory, which can really only be described as "rough".
Several cultivators from the royal "Yu Tian Jian" specializing in "astronomy and geography" turned the handles on both sides of the "Huntian Magnetometer" with "clang, clatter", making the nested copper rings appear different.
The tilt angle was high, and the silver balls above were constantly bumping around.
Several people immersed themselves in it and calculated something with their fingers, and finally figured out where they were at the moment.
Connecting the coordinates of this place with the coordinates of Asgard becomes their route.
The same work must be repeated three times every day, constantly adjusting the course.
Sometimes the magnetic field may even be disordered, positioning may be wrong, and the result may be backtracking.
But overall, after going through a series of arduous journeys, they were getting closer to the Immortal Palace day by day.
There has always been a vast ice field between heaven and earth.
Apart from the white earth and gray sky, no third color can be seen at all.
The depressing environment almost drives people crazy.
Fortunately, they are all cultivators with firm Taoist aspirations.
In the past, they had practiced in seclusion for a year and a half, and they could barely sustain themselves.
On the fourth day after entering the Evernight Icefield, they discovered something that didn't belong here for the first time.
It was the wreckage of a spiritual spaceship that was shattered by strong winds.
It was scattered in pieces on the ice field.
It was almost completely covered by ice and snow.
Only a few bare masts were still exposed on the ice field.
There are probably crystals and supplies in the crashed psychic spacecraft that have not been exhausted, so they will not be let go.
It took them half a day to dig out all the wreckage of the flying boat, but the result was somewhat unexpected.
It was not one airship, but a small fleet of three airships.
Moreover, it was not wrecked a long time ago, but it sank in the past two days.
Although none of the three flying boats raised their flags, Qi Zhongdao and others recognized many frozen cultivators.
"They are people from the Longhai Sect, Qishan Sect, Jingtian Sect and other seven or eight sects!"
Qi Zhongdao's face was very ugly.
One of the conditions for the six major sects to participate in this operation is that they must handle the turmoil of the other small and medium-sized sects and prevent them from disrupting the overall situation.
Li Yao didn't know what method the six major sects used to reach an agreement with the small and medium-sized sects, but now it seems that the Jindan and Nascent Souls of the small and medium-sized sects probably have no intention of keeping their promises, and even formed the Speed Before them.
The faster fleet ventures deep into the Evernight Icefield.

If you want to get there first, discover the "Fairy Palace" first!
"It's really asking for death!"
Qi Zhongdao said coldly, "Even the six major sects and the imperial court have joined forces, as well as the best psychic flying boats and the best wind controllers in the entire ancient holy world, they must be cautious and step by step!"
"With a few broken ships and such a small manpower, they don't even have enough crystals and supplies, and they don't even know whether the Huntian Magnetometer is prepared.
They just want to break into the Yongye Icefield and discover the Immortal Palace first?"
"If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live!"
They found the body of an old Nascent Soul monster not far from the wreckage of the crashed psychic spacecraft.
This man came from the Longhai Sect and was a well-known figure in the world of cultivation in the past.
However, he died miserably, as if someone had sucked all the blood from his body, and he died like a skeleton.
According to the analysis of Master Qi Zhongdao and Ku Chan, he should have escaped alone after the spiritual flying boat encountered the Gangfeng, collided with each other and broke into pieces.
He tried his best to fly out of the dangerous place, but unfortunately he was caught in the Gangfeng.
The vortex can only continuously stimulate the spiritual energy in the body to resist the power of heaven and earth, and finally die of exhaustion.
