In the Purple Sun Heaven Domain, on the Northern Ice Plains.
Deep in the Ice Lotus Mountain Range, snow boats hovered in the air, surrounding an enormous Heaven's Dao Void Passage.
This was the territory of the Cold Snow Sword Sect, one of the Purple Sun Heaven Domain's nine great sects!

The young man in white kept the foxtail grass
