Chapter 298: Scenery of the Southern Nation (Combined Chapter)
As Liu Yu stepped onto the deck, the air suddenly turned icy and cold.
However, he merely frowned slightly before returning to normal, not affected much at all.
"Snow."
Jiang Qiushui revealed a cheerful smile as she looked up at the gentle falling snow from the sky, her mood appearing much lighter.
Even the looming shadow of war hanging over her seemed to have dissipated a bit because of it.
For many cultivators who had only recently reached the foundation establishment stage, this was their first time leaving Qingzhou and Jingzhou and seeing different scenery, so they felt a bit of novelty.
Even in the severe winter, Qingzhou and Jingzhou had not seen heavy snow for hundreds of years; it was merely cold.
Watching all of this, Liu Yu's gaze became somewhat dazed. This was the first time in his life he had seen heavy snow.
But he quickly regained composure, calming the waves in his heart.
The falling snowflakes were blocked by the Cangwu Ship's silver light barrier, automatically drifting to the sides and unable to touch the ship.
In this expanse of white, a streak of silver light flashed by, shining brilliantly like stars, heading in one direction with a clear purpose.
Gradually, at the end of his line of sight, a small shadow appeared.
It was a city made entirely of white ice crystals!
"Thousand Snow Immortal City."
Liu Yu stared intently at the distant city, a name emerging in his mind.
Just as there was the Moonlit Immortal City at the border of Qingzhou and the Sky Dome Destiny City at the border of Jingzhou, the southern border of Cangzhou, the southernmost boundary of the Chu State, also had the Thousand Snow Immortal City standing tall.
It stood at the southernmost point of the Chu State, on a crucial thoroughfare, playing an extremely important role, serving as the gateway to the south of Chu State.
In fact, due to the unique position of Thousand Snow Immortal City and the strength of Piao Xue Pavilion, it was even more prosperous and powerful than both Moonlit City and Sky Dome City.
As the spiritual ship flew rapidly through the air, the shadow of Thousand Snow Immortal City gradually enlarged, allowing everyone to see its appearance clearly.
The city walls of Thousand Snow Immortal City were entirely white; with the vision of cultivators, it was clear that these walls were actually constructed from white ice crystals!
In the dim light shining down on the icy world, the "ice walls" showed no signs of melting, appearing instead to be crystal clear.
As materials used for city building, members of the Yuan Yang Sect naturally would not assume this was ordinary ice crystal.
Instead, it was truly genuine Mystic Ice!
This Mystic Ice, over a hundred years old, was not only extremely hard but also took at least five years to naturally melt in a higher temperature environment, making it suitable for refining mid to low-grade magical artifacts or for other uses.
In such an environment and with specially designed formations, its properties would further solidify, so there was no need to worry about it being countered or melting.
From a defensive perspective, such a design surpassed that of Moonlit Immortal City.
Its defense against magical attacks was also significantly stronger than that of both Moonlit Immortal City and Sky Dome City.
Of course, geographical factors played a role as well.
Qingzhou and Jingzhou were adjacent to the Transverse Mountain Range, needing to consider not only cultivator attacks but also demonic beast sieges.
And since the demonic beasts were as powerful as magical artifacts and treasures, it was crucial for the construction of the two immortal cities to take these extremely important factors into account from the beginning.
War is a matter of national significance, determining life and death, and should not be overlooked.
Although it had been three to four thousand years since the last time demonic beasts had broken through the Transverse Mountain Range to attack Qingjing Two Prefectures, as the dominant sect ruling the continent, the higher-ups could not ignore such factors.
