The clash with the Snow Ape, though victorious, had left him drained and wounded. The chilling aura of this place hampered his recovery, making it difficult to replenish his divine energy.
He needed a respite, a place to gather his strength and assess his situation. Scanning the surroundings, his gaze fell upon a cluster of ice-covered boulders, forming a small, relatively sheltered alcove. It wasn't much, but it offered some protection from the biting wind and swirling snow.
Yun Lintian made his way toward the boulders, his steps heavy and labored. He settled down in the alcove, his back against the icy rock, his body shivering from the cold. He closed his eyes, focusing on his internal state.
