Liang's nose began to bleed, a sudden surge of electrifying energy coursing through his mind. The weight of two hundred thousand years of mories pressed upon him, a vast expanse of experiences that dwarfed his comparatively ager existence of just over one thousand years.
"Bloody hell," Liang muttered under his breath, wiping the blood from his nose. "Was this old man the reincarnation of a cursed pig or sothing ?"
Shaking off the disorientation, Liang opened his eyes, the remnants of the old man mories still flickering in his consciousness. Despite the overwhelming flood of information, he acknowledged that he had gleaned what he needed for the present mont. The geography of Floria, the nuances of the planet, and the knowledge of powerful experts within the solar system had all seeped into his own mind. It was a valuable trove of informations.
Standing beside the lifeless body of the old man, Liang reached for his space ring. With a swift motion, he retrieved it, curious to uncover its contents. Upon opening it, he discovered around ten million elental crystals, a substantial accumulation reflecting the old man's diligent cultivation.
"Frostfell then," Liang murmured, his gaze fixed on the vast expanse of icy wilderness that lay in the distance. With a confident resolve, he vanished into the void, his figure dissipating into the ether.

Liang materialized on the northern coast of Verdantia, a place untouched by the vibrancy of green life and basking in the absence of sunlight. It was no coincidence that he had chosen this particular location, for it was the closest point between him and Frostfell, a massive and frigid ocean encircling the continents.
While Frostfell appeared as a barren landscape of ice, it teed with life, albeit not solely comprising humans. The northern coast, though not as populous as other parts of Verdantia, was still ho to various creatures resistant to the harsh environnt. It was an unforgiving realm, where bitter cold dominated and only the hardiest of beings could survive.
Frostfell, a land of unyielding ice and bone-chilling winds, stretched out as a vast expanse of frozen desolation. Its surface was a stunning mosaic of pristine white, glistening under the pale sunlight that managed to penetrate the thick layer of frost-encrusted clouds. Crisp, powdery snow blanketed the terrain, marking the passage of each gust of frigid wind that swept across the icy landscape.
The land itself undulated with gentle slopes and rolling dunes of snow, their contours carved by both natural forces and the constant shifting of frozen currents. Jagged peaks, towering like frozen sentinels, cut through the frozen expanse, reaching towards the heavens with a majestic and unforgiving beauty. Frozen waterfalls, their cascading streams turned to solid ice, adorned the sides of these icy cliffs, suspended in ti and permanence.
Beneath the surface, beyond the world of shimring ice and pristine snow, Frostfell concealed enigmatic secrets. Vast networks of subglacial caverns sprawled below the frozen wasteland, a labyrinthine underworld teeming with life adapted to the icy depths.
Bioluminescent organisms, unique to Frostfell's depths, emitted a soft, ethereal glow that illuminated the otherwise pitch-black caverns. The glow reflected off of ice formations, giving the subterranean world an otherworldly luminescence.
Beneath the frozen surface of Frostfell, a colossal and majestic icy mountain rose from the depths, dominating the subglacial landscape with its towering presence. The mountain, aptly nad Glacial Spire, shimred like a crystalline fortress, its surface adorned with intricate ice formations that glistened under the dim light. Every facet of the mountain seed to reflect the cold, ethereal glow of the subterranean luminous organisms, casting an otherworldly illumination upon the frozen terrain.
As one approached the Glacial Spire, it beca evident that it was not just a lifeless mass of ice. The mountain pulsed with a hidden energy, as if imbued with an ancient and mystical power. Jagged ice formations jutted out like frozen spires, forming an intricate network of pathways and passages. These icy corridors served as the arteries through which life flowed within the mountain's frozen heart.
Within the depths of Glacial Spire, a fascinating array of races called this icy sanctuary their ho. Each race had made its mark on the frozen landscape, adapting to the unforgiving conditions in their own unique ways.
Frost Dwarves are stout and muscular, their bodies built for endurance in the harsh conditions of Frostfell. They have thick, frost-resistant skin that bears a pale blue hue. Their hair and beards are often silver or white, reflecting the icy environnt. They are typically adorned in practical and sturdy garnts, with fur trimming to provide additional insulation from the cold.
Ethereal and delicate, Ice Sylphs are beings of pure ice and shimring frost. They are exceptionally agile and nimble, able to traverse the treacherous icy terrain with grace and ease. Ice Sylphs possess a natural affinity for ice, capable of conjuring blizzards or manipulating frozen elents to their advantage.
Arctic Drakes are majestic creatures with a draconic form. They have large, powerful wings for flight, covered in iridescent scales that reflect the colors of the frosty landscape. These scales are typically shades of icy blue, silver, and white, blending seamlessly with their wintry surroundings. Arctic Drakes are adorned with sharp claws and formidable fangs.
Embody the very essence of the frozen wilderness. Frost Nymphs are ethereal and delicate beings, resembling humanoid figures made entirely of ice and frost. They have slender, graceful fras, with translucent ice-blue skin that seems to emit a faint inner glow. Their hair is usually long and flowing, shimring with a silvery ice sheen. Frost Nymphs possess delicate, iridescent wings reminiscent of frosted glass, allowing them to move with grace and agility. They often wear diaphanous gowns, adorned with frozen flowers and ice crystals.They possess an innate ability to heal and rejuvenate, reviving the weary and wounded with their potent restorative powers.
Snow Golems are towering and rugged creatures, built from compacted snow and ice. They have blocky, humanoid forms with broad shoulders and strong limbs. Their bodies are covered in a layer of frost and snow, giving them a white-tinged appearance.
Snow Golems do not wear clothing, as their bodies are composed entirely of frozen elents, but they may sotis be adorned with accessories made of ice or snow, such as icy crowns or frosty armants.
Legend has it that the origins of the unique races of Frostfell and the existence of Glacial Spire are intertwined with a mysterious past, steeped in ancient tales passed down through generations. According to the whispers of lore, the planet of Florie, which encompasses Frostfell, had not always resided in this realm. It is rumored that Florie erged from the Nether Planes.
The exact reasons of Florie's migration from the Nether Planes to its current location remain shrouded in speculation, leaving room for mythical explanations and fantastical stories. So tales speak of a powerful and long-forgotten ritual inadvertently causing an anomaly that transported Florie to its new ho. Others suggest that Florie, guided by celestial alignnts, deliberately sought a new realm to fulfill a greater purpose.
Regardless of the true cause, a mysterious link between Glacial Spire and the Nether Planes has been whispered throughout the frozen land. Deep within the heart of Glacial Spire, hidden from sight, it is rumored that a portal connects the planet to the Nether Planes there.
Whether this portal remains active, dormant, or purely mythical is a matter of contention among the inhabitants of Floria.
