After bidding farewell to Xue Nai, Chen Feng and Xue Yue Bing Li arrived outside the palace.

The biting wind and snow swept over them, instantly dispelling the solemnity on their faces.

Xiaoxue raised her hand and pulled the snow-white fur cloak over her shoulders. The moisture in her eyes had faded, replaced by the unique resilience and clarity of the people of the North.

She turned to look at Chen Feng beside her, her tone serious and solemn.

"Brother Chen Feng, over the next two days, I will show you around the entire Snowstorm City. My aunt asked me to travel with you because she trusts you and wants you to help our people."

Chen Feng nodded.

......

Over the next two days, Xueyue Bingli first led Chen Feng to the "Holy Land of Wind and Snow".

This sacred site is located deep within the underground ice layer behind the main hall of Snowstorm City, and is the source of the spiritual veins that the Snowstorm City people have protected for generations.

The passage to the holy land is made of millennia-old ice. The ice walls on both sides are crystal clear, yet have wisps of icy blue cracks, and wisps of ice-elemental spiritual energy float in the air.

The deeper you go, the fainter the howling wind and snow become.

Until finally, complete silence descended.

Only the gentle, ethereal breath flowing from the depths of the ice layer softly enveloped the entire passage.

"This is the sacred ancestral land of our Snow Moon tribe." Xiao Xue slowed her steps and softened her voice.

"Legend has it that millions of years ago, a severe winter calamity shrouded the entire snowy region, leaving almost nothing to grow. The first ancestor of my Wind and Snow tribe exhausted his life's cultivation and a thousand years of lifespan to suppress the extreme northern cold, opening up these thirteen underground spiritual veins for his people, thus protecting a place of life for the Wind and Snow tribe."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them had already reached the end of the passage.

Chen Feng's vision suddenly cleared.

A vast underground ice field suddenly unfolded.

Above their heads were not thousands of icicles hanging upside down, but rather curved bricks with gentle angles, their colors resembling a frozen galaxy hanging down to earth, slowly scattering fragments of spiritual light.

Beneath Chen Feng's feet lay a smooth, mirror-like ancient ice field.

The ice was so clear that Chen Feng could even see the gradually darkening depths beneath it.

There was no howling wind and snow, no biting cold, but a warm and mellow ice-type spiritual energy permeated around Chen Feng, making him feel comfortable and calm.

"This spiritual vein is the remnant soul of our ancestors, and it is the foundation upon which my Snow Moon tribe has survived for generations." Snow Moon Ice Glass lowered her eyes slightly, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible melancholy.

Chen Feng looked around, but his gaze suddenly fixed on the very center of the entire holy land.

There stood a colossal, towering iceberg, starkly different from the surrounding clear, ancient ice plains. This ice was rich in color, gradually transitioning from light blue to a deep, somber cyan, with layers of ice patterns intertwined and intertwined, resembling ancient divine runes arranged in a staggered pattern, firmly imprisoning what lay deep within its core.

A strange, extremely subtle yet incredibly powerful force is slowly flowing within the ice core.

It differed from the warm and peaceful aura of the surrounding ice veins.

It was neither gentle nor soft, but carried a sense of vastness and weight that had traversed countless ages, along with a faint, chilling majesty, which seemed to linger within the black ice.

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared intently.

That strange power wasn't specific to any particular area; instead, it transformed into a long, endless stream of dark light, cascading deep into the ice, piercing through the smooth ice surface, and plunging into the deeper, darker abyss of the continent...

"You noticed it too?"

Xue Yue Bing Li, standing beside him, looked in the direction Chen Feng was looking, her gentle voice now carrying a hint of heaviness and solemnity.

"What is sealed within this ice layer? This power looks extremely strange, yet it continuously nourishes the entire spiritual vein."

"This is the remnant soul of the ancestors of the Snowstorm Tribe. Legend has it that only by becoming the domain lord of the Snowstorm Tribe can one enter that bountiful land."

The domain lord of the Wind and Snow tribe usually corresponds to a Desolate-rank powerhouse in the Great Xia Kingdom, while the realm lord corresponds to a Flood-rank powerhouse.

"Besides that, the Holy Land has an age-old secret."

"Before his death, the first ancestor of the Linhan clan left a prophecy that thousands of years later, the extreme northern cold demon would be revived. At that time, people from other realms would set foot on the holy land and break the crisis in the snowy region."

Chen Feng frowned.

When he was in the Great Xia military headquarters, he had heard the term "Far North Cold Fiend" from time to time.

[Military Chronicles of Snowstorm: It is not snow, nor a cold wave, but a malevolent energy surging from the depths of the plane, a scourge upon the entire plane, and the darkest place in the Great Xia plane. The day it emerges from the cracks in the earth, everything will change.]

"The territory of the Far North Frost Fiend is far greater than the entire Northern Territory. It is located in the dark lands of the Great Xia Plane, yet it desires to return to the land shrouded in light..." Chen Feng said solemnly.

Xueyue Bingli's clear, icy eyes were filled with astonishment.

"A plane... a distinction between light and darkness?" Xue Yue Bing Li repeated softly, "Brother Chen Feng, do you mean that the Arctic Frost Demon doesn't originate from underground, but rather is another kind of creature from within another plane?"

Chen Feng did not answer immediately.

He lowered his eyes to look at the clear ice field beneath his feet, but his gaze seemed to pierce through the millennia-old ice layer, landing in a deeper and darker place.

Those bloody scenes sealed in memory are now surging up little by little with the dark light flowing under the ice.

When Chen Feng served as commander in the Blue Star plane, he systematically studied the dossiers on the plane's origins.

Every stable plane has two sides: light and darkness. The earth beneath our feet, the spiritual energy we breathe, and the living beings that thrive all belong to the light side. But deep within the continental plates, in the shadow of the dimensional barriers, there also exists a dark side.

[In the shadows of the dimensional barrier, there is no light, no life, only the turbid energy left after all things perish, the resentment of souls, and the destructive essence metabolized by the plane itself. When they come together, they are the source of the plane's malevolent energy.]

"Under normal circumstances, the light and dark sides are interdependent, maintaining a delicate dynamic balance. The vital energy of the light side constantly suppresses and dilutes the malevolent energy of the dark side; conversely, the malevolent energy of the dark side also forces the vital energy to circulate, keeping the plane vibrant. It's like two sides of a coin."

Chen Feng explained.

"But once the balance of our dimensional world is broken, or the evil energy of the dark side accumulates to a critical point, the evil energy will flow up from the cracks in the broken earth like a flood that has burst its banks."

At this point, Chen Feng raised his eyes, his gaze falling heavily on the dark stream of light deep within the Xuanbing ice.

"At that time, it will not be a disaster for a single city or region, but the end of the entire plane."

Hearing this, Xiaoxue seemed a little scared and quickly tugged at Chen Feng's hand: "Brother Chen Feng, why don't we go to the next place?"

Chen Feng smiled.

"it is good."
