Winter came exceedingly early that year. Heavy snow began falling before the last month of autumn had ended, and the air was both cold and dry.
From north to south, heaven and earth turned white. With the north wind cutting like a blade, countless living things froze to death in a mere ten days, and even the Li River formed a thick crust of ice. Red Cloud Commandery still enjoyed the scenery of spring and summer, without wind or snow. A divine ability had gathered heavenly light and spiritual fire, scattering them through the sky to dispel the chill, leaving the northern and southern sides of Jade Flow Mountain cold and warm respectively.
Heavenly Tribulation Mountain, Hanging Thunder Peak.
A point of pure silver light flickered.
Xu Xuan stood quietly at the highest point of the peak, holding a wisp of azure mystic flame that resembled both metal and water. A profound aura flowed with it, making the clear wu light around him increasingly translucent.
[Supreme Clear Profound-Mystery Dharma Body], four strands of vertical and horizontal.
Over a month had passed since the affair with Qingjing. Having gained some insight from the other man's methods of substance and void, Xu Xuan had modeled his dharma body on them. Clear excellence corresponded to void, wu earth to substance, greatly advancing his powers of transformation. In a single sustained effort, he had cultivated his fourth strand of vertical and horizontal!
Only the refinement of treasures held back his dharma body's progress, particularly with a [Heavenly Feather Water-Fire Grand Formation] still waiting to be refined.
This matter gave Xu Xuan the greatest headache. After discussing it with Tiantuo, he took out the lesser yang [Azure Radiance Great Abyss Fourfold-Regulation Mystic Flame]. He intended to use this azure radiance mystic flame to refine treasures.
