Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 1475: The Terror of the Everlasting Ice Plains!
With a blizzard of snowstorms, he whistled all day and all night before stopping.
When the last wind went away like a dragon full of food and drink, the whole heavens and the earth were completely changed.
Before the snowstorm swept, although it was a barren and barren land, the earth could at best see the gray colour of the rocks, and occasionally some sparsely ragged brown meadows, as well as several near-dry rivers, winding through them.
At this moment, there is a silver vegetable wrap between the heavens and the earth. Looking at it, the snow field stretches from under people's feet to the horizon, as if it were vertical and upward, freezing the dome, even the undulating mountains, into a crystal clear ice peak, condensed into a white world.
The sun struggled half-dead on the horizon when it was supposed to be the noon hour of fiery solar flame. The only slight light was a dark orange red coat applied to the sky. The vast majority of the sky was like frozen dead fish eyes, sparsely confused and chaotic.
This is where the Far North Eternal Night State really looks!
On countless maps of the dynasties, this perennial frozen, grassless terror area, known as the "Ice Field of Everlasting Night", is a forbidden area for the vast majority of life!
Despite the fact that the storm had gone away, the sudden drop in temperatures had not risen. Li Yao sneaked up on the thermometer of the Xingyao Federation and found that even at noon, the average temperature was 50 to 60 degrees below zero!
And this is just the periphery and even the edge of the Everlasting Ice Plains. It's far from where the Immortal Palace is located, and you can predict that the further north you go, the lower the temperature.
Such extreme cold temperatures, not at all the words "dripping into ice”, can be described. Every breath people breathe, it is like spraying a tiny smog of ice, then covering their faces, their bodies, their hair and their beard, condensed into an ice shell.
Less developed than the Federation and Empire, the ancient holy world had to wear thick, clumsy cotton gowns - even if they were specially made cold gowns, filled with fire-based crystals and figurines.
Ordinary cotton robes are placed in this environment and freeze into ice after less than a day and a night!
Even if he wrapped three layers inside and three layers like a razor seed, the cold wind of the ever-night ice field like a cow's hair pin penetrated perfectly, stimulating the flesh, muscle and bone marrow of the explorer at all times, the vast majority of the fixers had to turn on the spiritual shield or chill protection treasure 24/7 to resist, so that the consumption of spiritual energy and crystal stone greatly increased.
In addition to this, the problem is that most of the magic treasures are operating at extremely low temperatures, with higher wear rates and crystal consumption, but significantly less efficient to use.
In the lower 50-60 degree environment, a layer of cold frost was consolidated in the uneven and delicate lines on the Pharaoh. The strength of the Pharaoh sword was greatly reduced, and even the Qian Kun ring was dysfunctional, making it impossible to extract and store items in fatal trouble.
Fables such as the Flying Sword Battle Knife can be solved by being stuffed into the Kankun Ring.
But the Spirit can fly in floating arrays, power arrays, defensive arrays, and warm arrays, but has to be exposed to cold air.
Not only have the stones consumed nearly doubled, but the speed of flight has also decreased dramatically by about two-thirds, and the previously windy fleet of explorers has now turned into a connected army of turtles, struggling hard in frozen hell.
Fortunately, before they started exploring, they had long anticipated today's problems.
In addition to the elite general, the main part of the entire thirty ships is the crystal stone and all kinds of materials, and each of the practitioners is equipped with at least two Qian Kun precepts, all filled with dust.
The ancient holy world's Kun Kun precept technology is naturally not more developed than the celestial world.
The vast majority of low- and middle-order practitioners here use such storage methods as the Kankun Ring and Kankun Bag, which are equivalent to a backpack, which means that in addition to the storage space in the cabin, each person can carry two extra large backpacks of life-saving items, which is all.
Now they have twenty-six spiritual ships, and in addition to the wingman who manipulated them, there are nine hundred and seventy-seven high-ranking members of the Guardian Army, including Camp Fire Phoenix, and one thousand and twenty-six practitioners from the Six Factions.
“Vulture fairy, please! ”
On the deck of an earlier five-tooth ship, several guards and practitioners congratulated Li Yao on inviting him to a strange Pharaoh.
It's like dozens of big and small brass rings nested together for an eye-catching spin.
And on the tracks of every copper ring, there are countless shiny silver beads that roll, collide, and clank.
This is called the Mixed Sky Magnetometer, which is a magical treasure used by ancient sacred indigenous peoples to determine their orientation during their long journeys.
In the ancient holy world, measuring the exact coordinates of where you are has always been an extremely headache.
There are no hundreds of satellites in synchronous orbit in the ancient holy world. If we cannot identify the ocean or barren land between East and West, how exactly do we know where we are?
On the outside, early in other ancient worlds, astronomical treasures were invented to observe stars, such as "stargazing discs”, "nine-day instruments”, and so on, making a series of complex transformations to know their latitude and longitude through the relative position of the stars.
The sadness of the ancient sacred world is that the “stars” here are not relatively fixed stars in orbit in the ocean of stars, but the remnants of a radiant, sparkling flood war near the ancient sacred world.
These remnants of war are torn apart by the gravity of stars, planets and satellites and occasionally collide with each other. Their orientation and trajectories are utterly chaotic and have no point of reference at all.
Therefore, the ancient holy world only recently invented the concept of "longitude and longitude” by measuring the strength of the magnetic field to determine its specific orientation.
However, magnetic field strength is a fairly vague concept that can be disturbed by many factors, so this positioning method is not very accurate and can only be said to be better than nothing.
Li Yao had already drawn some rough maps of the Immortal Palace by memory, which could really only be called "rough”.
And several fixers specializing in “astronomical geography” from the Royal “Royal Heavenly Superintendent” turned the grip on both sides of the "Mixed Sky Magnetometer", so that the brass rings nested in the ring showed different angles of inclination, and the silver balls on them kept bumping into each other. Several people buried together did not know what the pinching calculation was, and eventually arrived at the location where they were at.
Connect the coordinates here with the coordinates of the Immortal Palace to become their route.
The same work is repeated three times a day, constantly adjusting course.
Sometimes there is even a magnetic field disturbance, wrong positioning, and the result is a return journey.
Overall, however, after a series of strenuous journeys, they were closer to the Immortal Palace in one day.
The heavens and the earth have always been bleak ice sheets. Apart from the white earth and the gray sky, there is no third color at all. The bitter environment almost drives people crazy.
Fortunately, they are all resolute practitioners. In the past, they were closed for a year and a half, which barely supported them.
On the fourth day into the Everlasting Ice Plains, for the first time, they discovered something that did not belong here.
It was the wreckage of a spiritual ship broken by the wind, scattered 708 times over the ice, almost completely covered by ice and snow, and only a few bare masts were bare on the ice.
Failed spirits can fly in ships, most likely with crystals and supplies that have not been depleted, and naturally will not be spared.
It took them half a day to exhume the wreckage, but the results were somewhat unexpected.
It was not a ship, but a small fleet of three, and it was not a long time ago that crashed, but two days before the trident sank.
Although none of the three airships had flagged, Qi Zhongdao and others recognized many frozen fixers.
“It's the Pi Hai Pi, the Qishan Pi, the Amazing Gate and seven or eight other sects! ”
Qi Zhongdao's face is very ugly.
One of the conditions for the participation of the six major factions in the operation was that they would deal with the disturbances of the remaining small and medium-sized factions and not allow them to disrupt the situation.
Li Yao doesn't know exactly how the six major factions reached an agreement with the small and medium-sized sects, but now it seems that the small and medium-sized sects of Jindan and Yuan Babies are most likely not planning to keep their promises at all, even robbing a faster fleet before them, risking going deep into the everlasting ice fields, wanting to get on first, discover the "Immortal Palace” first!
“What a way to die! ”
Qi Zhongdao Cold Road, “Even the six major factions and the imperial court, as well as the best spiritual boats and the best wind rulers of the ancient holy world, should be careful, step by step! ”
“With a few broken boats, so few people, not even enough crystal stones and supplies, not even ‘Mixed Sky Magnetometer' knows whether or not to prepare, just want to break into the Everlasting Ice Plains and discover the Immortal Palace first? ”
“Heavenly sins, forgiveness, self-inflicted sins, cannot live! ”
Not far from the wreckage of a failed ship, they found the body of a Yuan Baby Monster.
This name comes from the Xinhai pie. He was a famous figure in the cultivation world in the past, but he died a terrible death. He looked like he had been drained of the blood of his surroundings and died like a skeleton.
According to the analysis of Qi Zhongdao and Master Bitter Cicada, he should have escaped alone after the spiritual boat encountered the wind and smashed into each other. He tried his best to get out of the dangerous place, but unfortunately he was involved in the cyclone, which can only constantly excite the spirits in the body to counteract the forces of the heavens and the earth, and finally died.
