Vast Nine Provinces, at the extreme northeast, Youzhou.
This is an extremely desolate and bitterly cold land, covered everywhere by thick white snow, ice sealed three feet deep, with flurries of snowflakes drifting in mid-air, exuding a chilling aura.
At this moment, deep within this barren land, there lies an ice cave, extraordinarily deep, probably ten thousand feet down, shrouded by an array formation, making it highly concealed.
The bottom of the ice cave is filled with cold air, a sinister aura permeating, adding a touch of evil to this underground space.
Most of the underground space is shrouded in darkness, but amidst the darkness, one can see nine ice coffins, each housing a very tall figure.
Crack!
Suddenly, one of the ice coffins opened automatically, and from within, a tall and imposing black shadow climbed out, standing upright.
"Sir, you have awakened."
At the moment the dark shadow broke out from the coffin, a captivating female voice echoed from the darkness.
