Deep within the Extreme North.
Ice that had never melted in ten thousand years piled into rolling mountains, while biting gales swept through empty valleys, leaving only a low howl amid the silence of heaven and earth.
Wind and snow churned; frozen ice lay settled.
Led by the Ice and Snow Emperors, Lin Mo and the others journeyed ever deeper.

"Hey, wait for me! Take me along!" Tian
