Chapter 1542: Chapter 27: Grotto Heaven of Soaring Immortals, Immortal Daoists!

Above Yunyin Peak.

Rolling dark clouds gathered from all directions, forming waves, transforming into a surging force.

In an instant, they covered the entire sky above Yunyin Peak.

The cold wind became piercing, emitting a shrill wail like the cries of ghosts, and the unmelted snow on the ground of Cloud Shadow Peak, along with snow clustered on trees, were swept up.

In a flash, the people below from Cross Immortal Gate looked up at the sky, their faces showing puzzled confusion.

Whoosh—whoosh—

The cold wind howled.

"It’s snowing!!" someone below murmured.

People soon saw snowflakes drifting down from the clouds.

At first, sparse and unobtrusive.

Then, densely packed and very noticeable.

In just a breath.

The snowflakes were as thick as goose down.

Rustle—

The snowflakes didn’t fall scattered, but billions of them poured down simultaneously.

The snow’s momentum was unprecedentedly fierce, with goose feather-like snowflakes merging into an impenetrable curtain.

The view was a vast expanse of white.

In just a moment, the snowflakes covered the ground.

"What’s happening?" someone exclaimed in shock, looking ahead.

At the same time.

Inside the great hall of Cross Immortal Gate.

Master Yun Yin gazed at the scene in the mirror, his eyes solemn.

He saw Jiang Ning standing before the Cloud Sea Sky Confusing Array, his robe flaring, hair wildly dancing.

Below Yunyin Peak, too, was covered in a vast expanse of white.

"Esteemed one, what is happening?" Master Yun Yin asked.

The black-robed Esteemed One’s eyes were deep as an abyss, watching the changes in the mirror.

Then he raised his head to gaze outside.

The wind howled, the snow filled the sky, already occupying the view through the window.

"This is not a normal heavenly phenomenon. It’s harnessing the power of the seasons to use the world’s cold for oneself. Now happens to be the dead of winter, when the environment is most suitable!"

He paused, then added, his tone carrying a hint of heaviness.

"It seems the world has underestimated him. So young, yet his understanding of the profound truths of heaven and earth is so thorough. If it were in ancient times, he would naturally be an Immortal."

Hearing this, Master Yun Yin’s expression was equally solemn, then he voiced his doubts.

"Esteemed one, is he breaking the array?"

The black-robed Esteemed One nodded slightly, then continued: "The Cloud Sea Sky Confusing Array relies on the circulation of clouds and mist, forming a loop, isolating inside and outside. Now, with endless snow falling, the world is bleak, the cold penetrates the spirit vein, freezing the moisture with pure extreme cold; the falling snow will absorb the moisture, severing the operations’ foundation of the array!"

"It’s not brute force breaking the array but a higher level of manipulating the world’s operational rules, disrupting the foundation of the array."

Upon hearing this, Master Yun Yin’s complexion changed slightly: "And the great array..."

"No worries." The gray-robed Esteemed One withdrew his gaze, looked back at the mirror: "If the array could be broken so simply, it wouldn’t be worthy of being called a Dao!"

Then he continued: "The array’s foundation stones are buried in the spirit vein nodes of the mountain, protected by the blessing of the spirit vein, scattered everywhere, he definitely can’t find them precisely!"

"To crack it, unless he can freeze the entire Yunyin Peak and completely freeze the spirit vein."

Saying that, the black-robed Esteemed One rarely showed a slight smile: "But to achieve this, unless an Immortal is reborn, no one could wield such power!"

...

On the other side.

At the foot of Yunyin Peak.

Shen Wenyan looked at such a change in the world, his face showing shock.

He could feel the deep cold emanating from Jiang Ning not far ahead, could sense the biting chill of the wind.

That was a coldness even he felt.

He knew, this change in heavenly phenomena, the instigator was Jiang Ning before him.

At the same time.

The Cloud Shadow Crane called a few times, then crouched down, spread its wings, protecting Ji Mingyue from the wind and cold.

In just a moment, a layer of snow had fallen on everyone’s heads.

"Marquis, are you going to!!" Zhuge Qingsong looked at the world at this moment, his heart seemingly unwilling to believe.

"Break the array." Jiang Ning’s tone was calm.

Yet it sounded like a thunderclap in Zhuge Qingsong and others’ ears.

...

Between heaven and earth, the snow was more intense.

The snowflakes flying in the air no longer just fell, but were driven by Jiang Ning’s heart spirit, beginning to slowly spin, gradually forming huge vortices.

The center of the vortex was exactly the array node at the mountainside of Yunyin Peak, shrouded in mist.

His eyes now bathed in fire, having pushed the fire eye to the extreme, could clearly see the flow and gathering of energy between heaven and earth.

Therefore, the nodes of the great array ahead, nearly half of them clearly fell into his eyes.

The visual can deceive, but the gathering and flow of energy cannot.

And to break the array, it’s not necessary to destroy every array node.

Just like a building, to make it collapse doesn’t require smashing every single pillar. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

At this moment, the cold wind howled, sweeping up thousands of piles of snow.

The snowflakes spinning collided and condensed, actually forming countless dense ice crystal lock chains in midair.

These chains were not substantial, but formed by pure cold meaning and the condensation of the world’s moisture, spreading like a spider web, silently probing into the rolling white mist ahead.

As the ice crystal chains extended, the mist continually gathered towards the chains.

The mist was vapor, vapor encountering ice would naturally attach and freeze.

"Crack... crack-crack..."

The faint sound of ice cracking came from deep within the mist, barely audible at first but gradually connecting into a piece as time passed.

Shen Wenyan focused his gaze, seeing the originally thick, motionless white mist now beginning to ripple like the surface of a lake into which stones had been thrown.

Where the ripples passed, the mist became thin and stiff, as if being slowly frozen by some invisible force.

Jiang Ning stood at the center of the wind and snow, his eyes still tightly closed, yet his aura was increasingly condensed, the cold more intense.
