Inside the seventh peak of Jade White Mountain, Sam sat in a lotus position, floating in the air.
Before him, three scrolls hovered, exuding various Dao symbols and energy signatures that formed a swirling whirlpool around him.
The cave's top was open, revealing the blue sky.
The clash of Dao patterns in the whirlpool created a mesmerizing spectacle, spiraling out of the cave and blending with the white snow-covered mountain, creating a captivating view.
With each inhale and exhale, wisp-like Dao symbols transformed into streaks of light that entered Sam's eyes.
His posture remained straight, his face calm, and his focus unwaveringly set on the sage techniques. While immersed in gaining insights, Sam remained oblivious to the events around him.
Unbeknownst to him, notable figures from various forces, such as King Shun, Duncan Hailstorm, Nicholas Scarlett, and Victoria Flareheart, had gathered for an audience at the Hailstorm Clan.
