ould have vanished completely by now.Naturally, this also made Ginger Cloud deeply grateful for Lei Mu's reminder. At the same time, it was hard for him to imagine that the power of the first tribulat...Why Ginger Cloud thought the formation in front of him wasn't complicated was because it was only composed of nine snowflakes.

And some of the formations he had already seen, even those casually arranged by the Snow Clan elders, required over a hundred snowflakes.

But when he truly grasped the essence of the Art of War, he realized how naive and foolish his previous thoughts had been.

The complexity and power of a formation, have nothing to do with the number of items used to form it.

The power of a formation doesn't lie in the number of formation items used, but rather in the number of variations it contains after being formed, and the amount of power it can borrow.

Formations are a way to borrow the power of heaven and earth to achieve a specific purpose. This power doesn't belong to a cultivator individually, but rather to all things in heaven and earth.

For example, the isolation formation deployed by the Xuezu clan chief relied on hundreds of snowflakes. While it appeared dazzling, its actual power was quite limited.

The changes it contains won't even exceed three.

And when he saw this formation before him, after three days and three nights of painstaking effort, Jiang Yun finally learned its name. He couldn't help but gasp in awe.

This formation is called the Nine Snows Chain Link!

This formation is called so because it's a chain of formations.

The complete formation consists of nine smaller formations.

And when three or more small formations are combined, they form another, separate formation.

One formation within another, formations linked together, interlocking rings, endlessly connected!

And the formation that trapped the Cold Mind Batwing was merely the first small formation of the Linked Formation.

But this first small formation, although it seems to be composed of only nine snowflakes, in reality, each snowflake contains nine variations.

In short, the first small array contains eighty-one variations.

To crack it open, you have to solve all of these changes one by one.

And after this small formation, there are eight more small formations!

However, the number of snowflakes that make up each small formation is not nine, but based on nine and continuously added.

For example, the second small formation is composed of twenty-seven snowflakes, with variations reaching two hundred and sixty-one types.

And the third small formation is composed of eighty-one snowflakes, containing variations numbering as many as seven hundred and twenty-nine. And so on.

Even Jiang Yun couldn't calculate how many snowflakes made up the ninth small formation, and the changes within it could be described with astronomical figures.

And these nine small formations, when combined, constitute a complete Nine Snow Interlocking Formation!

It is conceivable that such a complex formation, with so many variations, would draw upon an immense power.

This formation borrows the power of the entire Boundless Sea!

The area of the Realm Sea is said to be boundless. Its power can even devour the entire Wushan Island, leaving countless cultivators helpless. It's easy to see how terrifying its power is.

However, what's even more terrifying is that the boundary sea isn't static; it's in constant motion. Because of this, its power is inexhaustible, ever-flowing, and never-ending.

Therefore, no matter what the effect of this nine-snow chain formation is.

Its power is absolute, it would astound anyone and be hard to imagine.

This Nine Snow Linked Formation is also the pinnacle of Xue Mu's mastery of array formations!

He even said in his notes, without exaggeration, that if someone could crack this formation by mastering the art of formations,

Then this person's mastery of formations, even if not surpassing his own, would be at least far inferior.

Although the complexity of Jiuxue Lianhuan's formation far exceeded Jiang Yun's imagination, it ignited his stubborn competitive spirit.

Moreover, he couldn't possibly really abandon the Hanming Winged Bat here and leave alone, so he made up his mind to at least crack open this first little formation.

Moreover, the process of cracking Jiuxue's interlocking formations is also a great opportunity to learn the way of array formation.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud completely calmed down and started to carefully study the most basic formation common sense.

In this ice cave ten thousand feet deep, Jiang Yun forgot time, forgot everything, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the insights of this formation technique, neglecting sleep and food.

All hard work eventually pays off. After a whole month of effort, Jiang Yun finally managed to crack the first small formation of the Jiuxue Lianhuan Formation and gained some insights.

This is still thanks to his good attitude, always calm and collected.

Furthermore, with over a decade of experience in alchemy, he also applied the principles of simplification and tracing back to origins when studying formations.

To break down a complex formation, dissect each snowflake's nine variations individually. Analyze each variation step by step to unravel its secrets.

In the beginning, the progress of this research was naturally very slow.

But as he gradually became familiar with it, his speed increased, and he was ultimately able to break through all eighty-one transformations in such a short amount of time.

Even so, when Jiang Yun truly began to personally try to break the formation, he failed seven times in a row.

Even twice, due to accidentally triggering some other changes within the formation, it unexpectedly resulted in powerful attacks appearing within its depths.

Thanks to the fact that the Cold Meditation Winged Bat was a cultivator of the Dongtian Realm, it barely managed to endure.

If it were replaced by the likes of Jin Gang Demon Apes, these mundane demons, they would probably die at Jiang Yun's hands before he even broke the formation.

With the first formation broken, the Cold Void Winged Bat finally broke free, and Jiang Yun finally let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the formation that had returned to its original state before him, a lingering fear crossed his face.

But the cold shadow bat still stared intently ahead, even sticking out its tongue and constantly licking its lips. "Master," it said, "why don't we walk a little further in The cold air inside is truly delicious!"

This request, naturally, was met with a blunt refusal from Jiang Yun.

Although he still doesn't know why Xue Mu Cheng set up a Nine Snow Linked Array here.

But cracking the first, simplest little array took him a whole month, and he almost killed the Cold Shadow Winged Bat.

If you walk any further, if you accidentally fall into the second or third formation, you probably won't even have a chance to break free. You'll be killed instantly by the changes within the formations.

More importantly, I'm short on time now.

I had intended to head straight for Tianduo City after the Xue Clan left, but I didn't expect to be delayed here for another month.

To be honest, for this Nine Snow Interlocking Formation in front of him, Jiang Yun was indeed a little reluctant.

Although this place is undoubtedly dangerous, it is also an excellent location for him to enhance his array mastery.

Just as Xue Mu Cheng said, if he could fully decipher the Jiuxue Lianhuan Formation, his mastery of formations would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

Having mastered the art of formations, his strength naturally rose with each passing day.

"If we have the opportunity and time in the future, let's come back here again."

"At that time, I will strive to break all nine Snow Linking Arrays, and let you have enough!"

Although Ginger Cloud's idea was good, he also knew that the possibility of realizing it was slim.

After all, the distance is too far, and now that the great calamity of the Shan Hai Realm is imminent, it is truly impossible for me to return here.

"Let's go!"

Holding onto the equally reluctant Hans Mingyi bat, Jiang Yun turned to leave.

However, at that moment, a sudden "snap" echoed through the air, causing Jiang Yun's body to tremble slightly.

Because he could clearly feel something hitting his body and then falling to the ground.
