In the western part of Chenli, the Mingjing Sect lies under a sky vastly different from the world outside. Translucent, crystal-like snowflakes drift down over the land, only to melt into mist before they touch the ground.
A group of Mingjing Sect martial artists has recently crossed the sky, reshaping the clouds. The dark clouds that once blanketed the entire firmament have been transformed into a single, crystal-clear mirror. The snowflakes falling from it have turned into glass-like shards. The heat of the scorching sun is focused by this cloud-mirror, warming the lands surrounding the Mingjing Sect as if it were spring.
Such means of altering the heavens and reshaping the natural climate are, of course, in preparation for the decennial True Disciple Grand Competition.
