By all rights, the Extreme Ice Plains were an excellent place to cultivate and go into seclusion. In particular, hardly any cultivators would think that Ling Tian and the others might return there.
Even if some cultivators did think of it, they would probably have a hard time finding Ling Tian and the others. By then, Ling Tian and his companions would hide beneath the lake in the Extreme Ice Plains, or even under the silt.
