Chapter 951: Winter Cat
It was the location of Arana's ice palace.
After Lynne used her Celestial Frost Arts, a sturdy ice dome covered a three-mile radius around the ice palace. All the growing crystal ice pillars failed to breach the ice dome.
Some crystal ice pillars shattered under pressure, while others grew around the ice dome.
However, despite the sturdy ice dome's ability to block all crystal ice pillars from breaching its defense, it didn't block the chaotic noise in the region.
Arana was attracted by the disturbance and left her ice palace to look.
Upon seeing what was happening outside the ice dome, Arana furrowed her brows, wondering why there was such a situation.
"I've spent two months in this region, but this is the first time I've seen something like this… What the hell is going on?" Arana muttered.
Her peace was disturbed, and the commotion irritated her.
However, Arana did not intend to do anything about the situation. Sensing the threatening power of ice in the crystal ice pillars outside, she understood there was nothing to do.
Her life would be forfeited if she lost the protection of the ice dome.
Arana suddenly recalled the icy ability used to create the ice palace. She immediately wondered if the present situation had anything to do with Lynne.
"That's strange… That girl was only Early Seeking Insight-level Transcendent at most when I met her. How did she do to be so strong in such a short time?" Arana wondered.

Meanwhile, the onslaught of snowflakes on Extreme Misty Forest continued, transforming it into an unrecognizable state.
After several minutes had passed, Extremely Misty Forest was no more. At the very least, the western part of it was no more.
The Ice Phoenix's Frozen Calamity turned the misty forest into a vast land of ice. The vengeful spirits, trees, mist—everything was frozen.
At the same time, numerous ice mountains made of crystal ice pillars towered over the vast land.
'Not bad, child. You managed to freeze over such a vast land in such a short time,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress praised.
'However, you still have much of the misty forest left to freeze with the Celestial Frost Arts. If you let the Frozen Calamity rampage like this, those snowflakes will continue stacking crystal ice pillars on top of each other until they reach the clouds.'
'You need to shift the focus of the Frozen Calamity to the east and freeze the rest of the misty forest,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress instructed.
"I understand, Master," Lynne complied.
But then, she suddenly paused in the next moment, unsure how to manipulate the Frozen Calamity's blizzard clouds.
Given her cultivation in the Ice Law, she could use the sheer force of her ice ability to move all the ice elements.
However, the Frozen Calamity was as simple as being pure in ice element. If she only moved the ice elements, it might break up the blizzard clouds and end the Frozen Calamity.
"Err, how do I do that, Master?" Lynne asked with slight embarrassment.
'You just used the first form of the Ice Phoenix's Frozen Calamity, Calling Winter. Naturally, the next thing to do is use the second form of the Ice Phoenix's Frozen Calamity, Guiding Season,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress patiently explained.
The Divine Ice Phoenix Empress was not surprised by Lynne's question.
Although it seemed obvious that the second form, Guiding Season, should be used after the first form, the skill itself could be used separately from the first form.
Considering she had just taught her disciple about this set of celestial frost arts, it wasn't strange that she wasn't familiar with the Ice Phoenix's Frozen Calamity.
As such, her disciple wouldn't know the four forms of the Ice Phoenix's Frozen Calamity can be connected.

Meanwhile, as Leon's group headed back to the shore region in the north, the startling changes in Extreme Misty Forest did not go unnoticed.
It was difficult not to notice even if they didn't want to.
After all, the weather in the southern direction changed. And after several minutes, numerous ice pillars and structures, even larger than the ice mountain, suddenly appeared.
"This is the extent of a Celestial's power? It's on a whole different dimension compared to Transcendents!" Elizabeth uttered with disbelief.
Elizabeth couldn't believe there was a vast gap between Transcendents and Celestials. It was no wonder that Celestials were virtually viewed as gods to the mortals.
With such shocking power, Lynne could topple any kingdom in the Human Domain in an instant.
And Lynne wanted to start a religion; Elizabeth didn't doubt that many followers would flock towards her.
"I don't know whether this is the full extent of a Celestial's power… But I think it's safe to assume that Lynne turned the western parts of Extreme Misty Forest into a frozen land like the north," Leon said wryly.
Given such a large-scale transformation of the land, It wouldn't take Lynne very long to deal with all the vengeful spirits in the entirety of Extreme Misty Forest.
At the very least, what he expected to take at least two weeks had been greatly shortened to under three hours.
No, if Lynne was eager to finish the task quickly, it could be even faster!
"Furthermore, we won't have to worry about the frozen land in the north ever melting as long as we have Lynne around," Leon added.
"That's for sure," Aria agreed with Leon's comment.
However, her eyes remain fixed on the towering crystal ice pillars and structures in the south. She wondered if she could pull off the same feat once she reached the Celestial Realm.
Nevertheless, the group didn't dwell on Lynne's world-changing ice power.
As they drew closer to the frozen shore, a pure white blur suddenly dashed out from a nearby frozen wave and flashed its silver claws at Leon.
In that instance, Leon prepared to swat it away. However, he quickly changed his mind at the last moment and pinched the creature by the back of the neck.
"Reow!" the little white beast growl.
It flailed its four limbs in an empty to break free from Leon's hold and attack but to no avail. It was helplessly and powerlessly caught by him.
"Ah, a Winter Cat! It's so cute!" Faelyn exclaimed.
