Ice Crystal Palace

Biodata

Background / History

The Ice Crystal Palace stands in the Far North and is constructed from ten-thousand-year profound ice. Snow Emperor had reinforced it with her own power, making it resistant to ordinary heavenly lightning. Its main hall served as the setting for Xue Chen's martial-soul awakening, attended by Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, and Xiao Bai 1 3.

Lightning associated with Xue Chen's awakening repeatedly struck the palace in the first heavenly tribulation. The third strike shattered its dome, flooding the hall with profound-ice debris and thunder energy; the later ninth punishment caused the already ruined structure to collapse further 3 5 9. Snow Emperor ultimately accepted the palace's destruction with regret 11.

By the time Xue Chen returned from the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, Snow Emperor had repaired the palace. It subsequently hosted Red King during the Far North rulers' discussion of Xue Chen's claimed connection to the Star Dou Forest soul beast clan 25 28. Di Tian later entered the palace while searching for Xue Chen, and the structure endured the aftermath of his clash with Snow Emperor due to her protection 36.
