Walking forward a few dozen steps, the air grew thicker with moisture, as if approaching the seaside.
Of course, the Northern Land was not by the sea, but the amount of water gathered here was far greater than any lake should contain.
"After our continuous diversion for some time, the underground rivers of the extreme north have all been redirected here. Coupled with our unceasing efforts to gather the water vapour in the Northern Land's air by using the 'Circulating Water Energy' technique you taught us, Daoist, the Northern Grassland has been suffering from severe drought for days, and even the pastures are beginning to wither," Gu Chen explained as he walked.
The most scarce element in the Northern Land was water. The grassland people were nomadic; they all survived on herding. Without their pastures, they would be driven to desperation.
