But Emperor Wu has just ascended to the throne, how is there already a rising montum?
With this doubt, Zhao Xing set out from Fengjing in early April, accompanied by the deputies Mi Fei, Chen Shijie, Hu Yang, and Zhang Tianxing, along with the foreign team of Prince Jin Ke.
Divine Residence Warship, within the Marching Hall.
The Divine Residence Warship is a reward from Emperor Wu, it is a low-grade divine artifact.
As a warship, even as a low-grade treasure, it is quite remarkable, coming from one of the three imperial guards, the Divine Residence Guard.
Although Zhao Xing didn’t proactively request personnel, driving this military divine artifact still requires a considerable number of people.
Emperor Wu equipped him with five hundred Divine Residence Guards. Divine Residence, Luan Yi, and Jinwu are the emperor’s three imperial guards, which even during Emperor Jing’s pacification of barbarians were never mobilized.
Now they were entrusted to Zhao Xing, a force of five hundred.
"The Sith Clan has developed rapidly since the First Year of Da Zhi, this is quite unusual."
Zhao Xing was reviewing all the intelligence regarding the Sith Country.
He went through all the Fate Officer’s simulations and the Military Realm intelligence himself.
"Li Boqian once realized Yuan Feng at the Western Extre Glacier, and now this Sith Clan rises and establishes its country, constantly growing, could it be that there’s truly an exceedingly strong instance at the West Pole Sea?"
"The Sith Clan’s true power surge likely started even earlier than the First Year of Da Zhi."
Zhao Xing backtracked to the Zhijing New Calendar, reviewing old intel from that era.
"The Qitian Palace also appeared during the Zhijing New Calendar period; at least the Flower Fairy was already involved in worldly affairs during that ti. Could it be that Li Boqian’s glacier enlightennt, the Sith Clan’s rise to power, and the ergence of Qitian Palace are all connected?"
"All these happenings are surely not coincidental, the Western Extre Ice Land holds great secrets!" Zhao Xing’s eyes glead with thought.
"In the previous life, there were superior instances existing in the Xuanhuang Realm that players hadn’t discovered, so it’s not impossible."
"If that’s the case, I should consider preparing in advance." Zhao Xing thought of the Cloud-climbing Vine seedling in the Pure Essence Space. "If sothing incredible is indeed discovered, I’d better cultivate my brother."
...
Tianyong State is in the eastern part of Central State, while the Western Extre State is on the western side of Central State, the distance between them is exceptionally vast, spanning across twelve major states.
The journey is long, without sothing like the Li Fire Altar’s ultra-distance teleportation, maintaining such a vast empire would be impossible.
Even with preparations made in advance, taking the shortest route.
Zhao Xing, Prince Jin Ke, Bing Tu King, King Kelo, and others spent more than three months to finally enter the Western Extre State.
Once in the Western Extre State, they had to rely entirely on flight, as the Western Extre State is beyond the teleportation range of the Li Fire Altar.
Even the Dao of Master Li Fire can’t touch this extrely cold state.
The journey westward only grew colder.
Reaching the western part of the Western Extre State, they passed through various counties, where it gradually began to snow.
"Departed in April, walked over three months, and now it’s only mid-August."
"The western part of the Western Extre State is already halfway into winter."
"The Seasonal Order of winter becos active, all related to cold and ice, cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and spells are slightly enhanced."
"Conversely, fire elent cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and spells are sowhat weakened." Zhang Tianxing stood on the ship, gazing out at the snow-falling world, "It’s really cold."
"I heard people from the West State are hairy and generally short. Ice Land people even have gill-like organs behind their ears, truly a Heavenly Ti nurturing people." Hu Yang also mused.
"The data states that the Western Extre State is the richest in the West Continent, but it seems relative." Chen Shijie overlooked the ground below, "The earth veins are weak, the soil is barren, incomparable to other states."
"Only thirty percent of my plant species can exert full combat power here, the farther west, the more serious the situation." Mi Fei closed his eyes to recuperate, introspecting the world.
"Only thirty percent?" Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing looked at Mi Fei in surprise.
No one had co to the Western Extre State before, each expressing different impressions.
Mi Fei’s thoughts caught the attention of the other three.
Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing even thought Mi Fei might be bragging.
But Mi Fei wasn’t exaggerating. In the harsh environnt of the small world of the Star Ruins, after serving for a long ti, Mi Fei’s troops have evolved to adapt to extre conditions.
Mi Fei didn’t want to explain to Zhang Tianxing and Hu Yang, as both were from noble families.
Over the three months, he only had a superficial acquaintance with them.
However, he got along well with Chen Shijie: "Shijie, you excel in the Earth Palace, Crack Earth, and Ksitigarbha techniques. If you could crack the earth to elevate the Yang energy and use the Earth Palace Skill to block the earth’s energy from sinking, storing the Earth Vein Power with Ksitigarbha Returning Origin, my plant species could fully exert their power."
Chen Shijie shook his head: "I don’t know if it will work when we get down there. I’ve heard so areas don’t even have ground, just ice."
Hu Yang laughed: "Even if it doesn’t work, it must work! We’re about to enter a war zone, and we can’t just let Mr. Zhao take action."
Zhang Tianxing agreed wholeheartedly: "Indeed."
The four chatted outside.
Inside the cabin, Zhao Xing discussed the situation of the Sith Country with Prince Jin Ke, Bing Tu King, King Kelo, and others.
In his past life, Zhao Xing had rarely visited the Western Extre State, primarily because it was too poor.
There was really nothing to gain.
The Western Extre State under Great Zhou’s control is not much smaller than Pinghai State, with only two Blessed Lands and seven Grotto Heavens.
There’s no need to ntion the rest of the Western Continent.
Transportation is also extrely inconvenient.
