The territory of Mao Country already spanned 17,098,200 square kiloters before the cataclysm, an area of a vast land duly asuring 17.09 million square kiloters.
After the cataclysm, experiencing a massive upheaval, this area instantly expanded by a thousandfold, and it continued to grow incessantly.
Its vastness is entirely imaginable.
Yet such a large region is mostly covered by glaciers, with the extensive ice fields connecting to the Arctic. The formidable frost forms a frozen world of its own.
In such an environnt, a variety of peculiar creatures erged.
There are snow rabbits with thick, snow-white fur and snow chickens that live on the permafrost not completely enveloped by the cold ice.
Even more are the newly reborn ice creatures.
A new type of lifeform entirely composed of ice, or they could be called elental creatures.
A unique world, composed of ice creatures and mutant beasts awakened with the power of an ice bloodline, evolved on this frozen land.
Within it, nurous rare treasures are hidden under the thick ice.
A hundred-year ice, thousand-year ice, ten-thousand-year ice.
Below the ice layers flow spirit springs, and within their waters swim ice fish.
Lotuses with roots embedded within the ice, and miraculous rocks mutated under the cold ice.
All sorts of imaginable and unimaginable magical resources are born on this land and beco the solid driving force for the developnt of the vast Ice Plains.
Beyond that, there is another factor.
Surely, such cold weather is terrifying, but once it’s conquered, isn’t it also a quick avenue for surprise attacks on other regions?
The significance of border defense is equally paramount.
"With the supply of this ice, not only can more special combat resources related to the cold be marshaled, but the chill of the ice can also be converted into a pure form of energy to alleviate energy needs through the art of runes and formations."
Li Ming’s figure soared over the vast, boundless tundra like a superhero—no, in so way, he was a superhero.
Superhero superhero, what defines a superhero, but one who surpasses ordinary humans.
The power he wields now makes him more than worthy of the title.
However, compared to leaping, his movents are better described as walking.
His form, just monts ago in a distant area, appeared close by with a single step, manifesting a divine power—Spatial Step!
Li Ming flew through the skies, employing Spatial Step, all the while absorbing the profound cold from the rich ice below, his heart unable to stop pondering.
Energy, indeed!
With the current level of magical power and the gradually recovering technological force, especially the electrical technology considered as a top priority, recovery has reached an extrely high level.
However, no matter the progress, the insufficiency of energy seems to be an eternal challenge. Conveniently, the current arrangent benefits from both past technology and industry, as well as the extraordinary powers of cultivators and psychics.
While these cultivators’ thods may fall short in so respects to the astonishing pre-apocalypse technology, the unique powers they harness cannot be easily replicated by pre-apocalypse tech.
For example, extracting what’s known as the energy of heaven and earth to form mana is able to provide a continuous supply of energy, allowing mana to take effect.
This conversion and utilization of energy alone would leave Earth trailing by light-years. To the realm of science, this would be an unimaginably terrifying technology, likely only existing in the fantasy novels of children.
But for cultivators, this is nothing more than rudintary, a basic exercise in mana that any novice formation master could learn upon initiation.
Therefore, when these cultivators co into contact with the power of science, the productivity and creativity they can unleash is also beyond imagination.
Take energy conversion technology, for instance.
Through formations, it’s now possible to convert various forms of energy into electricity.
Whether it’s the power of heaven and earth or Netherworld Qi, whether it’s thermal or cold energy, wind energy—as long as it’s a force that can be harnessed and utilized by cultivators, it can be transford into the necessary power for people in even more wondrous ways.
Moreover, due to the existence of formation patterns, people’s demand for electricity has also decreased.
You ntion lighting?
Simply convert any energy source into illuminating power, which can last far longer than electrical consumption.
The energy consud by a light bulb to stay lit all night is far greater than that of a light energy formation at the sa illumination level.
Want to use electricity to boil water, transmit information?
All these issues, with a group of cultivators unlocking the four ways of technology, instantly beco different.
It’s like the previously ntioned idea of building a cold energy conversion device in the central region of this ice, where a colossal formation pattern paired with an energy transmission pipeline can transform this bitterly cold environnt into a recyclable energy source.
However, establishing such an energy station is not an easy task; not to ntion anything else, the mysterious monsters atop this animation alone represent a significant challenge.
Li Ming is personally making a trip now to eliminate the highest-level monster to prevent an even greater mishap from erupting after he leaves.
Another purpose is to personally examine the permafrost condition.
Additionaly, with the increasing single-combat needs, the demand for energy is growing. So cultivators have even proposed the idea of forging energy armor through formations and special tals.
