North of the Star River Sword Sect lies a stretch of frost-covered peaks. In these interconnected mountains, the air is thick with extreme cold and stagnant spiritual energy, making it impossible to fly by sword.
At the summits, freezing gales sweep across the sky. Within a hundred-mile radius, not even the frost-ghost lotuses, which thrive in frigid climates, can survive. Even within the Star River Sword Sect, no cultivator can ascend here unless they have reached the Golden Core realm.
However, even for a Golden Core True Man, maintaining a foothold on these jagged, frozen mountains is an exhausting task. One careless moment, and a gust of the extreme freezing gale could sweep them away, leading only to certain death. Naturally, no low-tier cultivator with any sense would go near these mountains.
