The main structure of the Frost Lord's palace resembled an enormous iceberg, though no one knew which master craftsman had carved a palace into it.
Most of the palace's ice walls were transparent, but those enclosing confidential areas were veiled in a faint mist, obscuring the rooms within.
The palace itself was quite plain-nothing more than an iceberg hollowed out and carved, with a few ice sculptures and decorative patterns added. Yet the nature of the ice caused every part of the palace to radiate wondrous light, making it magnificent beyond compare.
A strange rainbow arched above every door and window, drawing Fang Yun's gaze.
No heavy snow fell within the Frost Lord's palace. Only a few snowflakes drifted inside, lending accents to this world of ice and breaking the monotony of the vast palace square.
Fang Yun stepped cautiously at first, but soon discovered that the ice was not particularly slippery. It felt more like ordinary paving stones.
Yan Ningxiao explained as they walked.
"There are many cities in the Ten Cold Ancient Land, but only the ten cities where the Frost Lords reside truly qualify as Frost Cities. All the others were built afterward. Like the Ice Emperor Palace, these ten Frost Cities were born naturally in this land. No matter how many cycles of creation and destruction the Ten Cold Ancient Land undergoes, they always reappear."
"This is the great square. There are more than five li between the outer gate and the palace entrance, which is terribly inconvenient. And look at the palace's design. It is entirely unlike the style of the Human Race, and exceptionally massive. The main hall was simply carved out of a huge iceberg. The two side halls were built by later generations, by stacking vast quantities of ice blocks..."
