Old Wanderer could be considered to have died convinced.

But where is the opportunity for the revival of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace that the Welcoming Child mentioned?

Jiang Wang did not immediately search Old Wanderer’s corpse. Instead, he stood up, drew his long sword, and looked at Dou Mian.

He had released Dou Mian at the same time as he released Old Wanderer.

Dou Mian was unaware that the power of the Cloud-Delay Mountain was limited, and assumed that Jiang Wang was confident. Seeing Jiang Wang look over, he raised the blade in his hand. “What? Are you going to give me a fair fight too?”

Just as Jiang Wang was about to speak, Old Wanderer’s corpse began to change.

A cloud of vapor emerged from the crown of his head, rapidly condensing.

As the cloud formed, Old Wanderer’s corpse visibly withered and dried up.

Soon, all that remained was a skeleton covered by a straw cloak, smooth and bare. Jiang Wang no longer needed to search the corpse, as everything was exposed, seemingly with nothing left.

But that small cloud became even whiter and softer, with faint spiritual light.

It seemed to have absorbed everything from the corpse to nourish itself. Yet, it did not give a sense of evil, but rather a kind of principle, a cycle. Like the alternation of day and night, the ebb and flow of tides.

Once the cloud fully formed, it seemed attracted by some force and floated towards Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang also vaguely sensed the Cloud Top Immortal Palace in his Five府 Sea issuing a “summons” to the cloud, so he did not resist.

The small cloud flew over with seeming slowness but actual speed, directly “crashing” into the Five府 Sea.

The moment it entered the Five府 Sea, three hundred black snakes spontaneously generated and burrowed into the small cloud, immediately turning it inside out.

Naturally, Jiang Wang would not allow it to enter the Five府 Sea without any precaution. However, after a careful examination by the Divine Soul Stealth Serpent, nothing abnormal was found.

He withdrew the Divine Soul Stealth Serpent, neither blocking nor relaxing. He watched as the cloud “swam” into the ruins of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace.

Suddenly, from the God-Entrusting Stele of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace, a point of light flew out, that point of light was tiny and mysterious… a wisp of true spirit!

Jiang Wang had long known that the God-Entrusting Jade could nurture true spirits. But he had not found it in the God-Entrusting Stele before.

This wisp of true spirit landed on the small cloud and was enveloped by it.

The cloud churned for a while, like a painful gestation process, and then a white-robed child stood on the cloud.

Judging by his appearance, it was the Welcoming Child from who knows how many years ago!

Jiang Wang was wary.

The Welcoming Child turned around and bowed deeply to Jiang Wang’s divine soul: “Greetings, Immortal Lord!”

His face was more childish, but generally the same as Jiang Wang had seen before. The biggest change was in his eyes. The previous eyes were sorrowful, lost, and empty, while now they were clear, ignorant, and deeply attached, not seeming to be fake.

After this deep bow, Jiang Wang immediately felt that, in the dark, he had some control over this child. As long as he moved his mind, he could shatter the child and the cloud together, and the power would fall into the Cloud Top Immortal Palace.

It was this life-or-death control that made Jiang Wang relax a lot.

He tentatively asked: “You are…”

The child looked about seven or eight years old. Hearing this, he tilted his head, appearing somewhat cute: “I am me.”

Jiang Wang pressed: “Old Wanderer? Welcoming Child?”

The child shook his head: “I don’t know.”

He seemed to have lost his memory…

The child’s current situation was different from the previous remnant image. The remnant image of the Welcoming Child did not immediately dissipate under the influence of the Cloud-Delay Mountain and the Cloud Top Immortal Palace, and barely managed to communicate with Jiang Wang.

Now, it seemed that after the death of the Welcoming Child’s unknown reincarnation, the remaining nutrients and even destiny merged with a wisp of true spirit hidden deep in the God-Entrusting Stele to form this child.

He was a combination of the past and the present, and also like a new beginning.

It was normal for a wisp of true spirit to be unable to bear memory. It was truly unbelievable that Grandmaster Guan Yan took the path of cultivation in the state of true spirit.

“Then what’s your name?” Jiang Wang asked.

The child bowed again: “Please grant me a name, Immortal Lord.”

Jiang Wang casually said: “Just call you Welcoming Child.”

The child pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with his perfunctory manner, taking the name he had just said and using it casually. It seemed that although he had lost his memory, he was not an idiot.

“White Cloud Child.” Jiang Wang made amends: “Just call you White Cloud Child, it’s nice and easy to remember!”

The child grinned: “White Cloud Child thanks Immortal Lord!”

Jiang Wang waved his hand and casually asked: “How many true spirits are still hidden in the God-Entrusting Stele?”

He suddenly thought from the birth of the White Cloud Child that might there be other people’s true spirits hidden in the God-Entrusting Stele of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace?

If they could all be resurrected one day… could the glory of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace be restored?

Of course, the greater concern was: if so many true spirits came out one by one, would the Cloud Top Immortal Palace still be his Cloud Top Immortal Palace? Would this Five府 Sea still be his Five府 Sea?

White Cloud Child shook his head: “There’s nothing inside, only me.”

Jiang Wang thought for a moment, and then asked: “What was the situation of the catastrophe that destroyed the Cloud Top Immortal Palace back then?”

White Cloud Child looked blank: “It was like this when I woke up. For a long, long time, there was no change… until you, Immortal Lord, appeared.”

So far, Jiang Wang had met three of these children.

One was the remnant image that existed in the past, one was his reincarnation, Old Wanderer, filled with bitterness and hatred, and the other was the little child in front of him who knew nothing.

If traced back to the near ancient times, they could indeed be considered the same person.

Jiang Wang was not sure what this newly appeared child was, formed by the combination of the true spirit of the past and the small cloud that rose from the corpse of the reincarnation.

He asked with the intention of trying his luck: “The opportunity for the revival of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace…”

If the Cloud Top Immortal Palace could be revived without other hidden dangers, it would of course be very exciting. He couldn’t possibly not care about this matter.

As if triggered by some kind of seal mechanism, White Cloud Child blurted out: “Azure Cloud Pavilion, Spirit Void Hall, Soaring Sky Pavilion.”

“Azure Cloud Pavilion, Spirit Void Hall, Soaring Sky Pavilion?” Jiang Wang frowned: “What does that mean?”

White Cloud Child shook his head again: “I don’t know. These names suddenly appeared in my mind when you asked. It seems… to be the answer.”

Whether it was White Cloud Child’s previous incarnation or the Welcoming Child’s later reincarnation, they all had a certain understanding of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace. The earliest Welcoming Child had the greatest understanding.

Other than believing him, Jiang Wang had no choice.

“Does it mean that we have to subdue the Azure Cloud Pavilion, the Spirit Void Hall, and the Soaring Sky Pavilion? Or obtain some kind of token? Something inherited?”

White Cloud Child did not answer. Clearly, he didn’t know the answer either.

The Azure Cloud Pavilion was in Yong Country, which was very difficult to handle. The Soaring Sky Pavilion was theoretically the most difficult, but if it only required some kind of token, it might be possible to discuss it with Ye Qingyu. Anyway, the Cloud-Delay Mountain would not continue…

As for the Spirit Void Hall, there was an opportunity right now.

Seeing that Jiang Wang had not responded for a long time, Dou Mian thought he was hesitating. He deliberately provoked: “What? Does Your Excellency not dare? Can you only bully Old Wanderer, who was cut off from the contact of the Outer Building?”

“There is no opportunity for a fair fight.”

Jiang Wang shifted his attention from the Five府 Sea and looked at Dou Mian: “I’ll give you a chance to buy your life.”
