661: Chapter 110 Cloud Top Fairy Palace_1 661: Chapter 110 Cloud Top Fairy Palace_1 Before he passed through the void in the sky, Jiang Wang seed to see a white-haired old man desperately flying toward the mountain peak.
But it was just a fleeting thought, and the world before his eyes was already changed.
It was a ruin, an extrely magnificent ruin.
Describing the ruin as “magnificent” seed improper, but it was indeed the most genuine feeling in Jiang Wang’s heart.
The towering columns had broken off in front, and the luster of the glazed tile fragnts was completely lost.
Broken walls and remnants were everywhere, a fallen splendor t the eye.
Even the occasional breeze couldn’t stir the heavy stillness; the stories of this place were buried in the dust.
It was impossible to fly here; there was an ancient set of standards soaked into the history.
It seed as if the long-lost honor still stubbornly maintained its dignity even after a prolonged decay.
Ahead was a broken lamp; Jiang Wang bypassed it and landed on a tile that was only half intact.
Crack!
The tile was easily crushed, scattering like a pile of sand.
Jiang Wang quickly shifted his weight, picking his way forward; so tiles were intact, while others were already decayed, disintegrating with a light touch.
Underneath the tiles was a foundation as smooth as jade.
The sight of its faintly intricate patterns dissuaded Jiang Wang from touching it directly.
“Cloud Top Fairy Palace?”
Facing all this, the first thing Jiang Wang thought of was the Cloud Top Fairy Palace that Dou Min had ntioned.
Although what he saw before him was ruins, he could still faintly imagine its forr greatness…
Perhaps only “Fairy Palace” could describe it.
However, if the end of the cloud steps led to the Cloud Top Fairy Palace, it wouldn’t explain why it suddenly appeared.
Picking the Divine Skills fruit clearly wasn’t the reason for the appearance of the Cloud Top Fairy Palace, otherwise why would Dou Min and the Cloud Roaming Elder be fighting to the death in the Reception Pavilion.
At the very least, there should be that so-called “entry and exit command” to gain access to the Cloud Top Fairy Palace, right?
But all the evidence before him seed to point to the Cloud Top Fairy Palace, and nothing else seed possible.
So, what was the reason for its appearance?
What condition had he fulfilled?
He couldn’t figure it out for the mont.
Jiang Wang stopped his thoughts and carefully observed as he walked further inwards.
The place he was in seed to be a large hall, which had collapsed so badly that it was unrecognizable, but he could still vaguely sense its forr outline.
The most impressive ruin Jiang Wang had seen so far was the Withering and Flourishing Temple, where the atmosphere was bizarre, with an inexplicable horror lingering.
The current place, when intact, would definitely be far more resplendent than the Withering and Flourishing Temple, yet walking among its remains, he only felt dead silence.
A silence without even the presence of terror.
From the broken walls and remnants, there were traces of battle everywhere, sharp broken edges, pockmarked impressions…
But he saw no skeletons, nor any bloodstains.
It was as if everything here had been obliterated by ti.
Walking among the ruins, Jiang Wang could easily imagine that if this place could be restored, walking through it, he wouldn’t be more conspicuous than an ant.
He had been to Donghua Pavilion, and had seen the palace of the king of the powerful nations.
But its scale was nothing compared to this.
What force had destroyed such a magnificent palace?
What exactly led to the downfall of the Cloud Top Fairy Palace?
“Why can I enter here while Ye Qingyu, who has the legacy of Chi Yun Mountain, cannot?
Dou Min, who conquered the Lingxiao Hall, and the solitary Cloud Roaming Elder, can they enter this place?”
Jiang Wang’s mind was filled with countless questions, but there was no one to ask.
Jiang Yan remained silent for reasons unknown.
He was certain Jiang Yan might know sothing, but since Jiang Yan didn’t speak, he couldn’t force him.
He could only search for answers on his own.
Throughout many past monts, he had always advanced alone.
He was quite accustod to it.
He took very light steps, always feeling that if he tread even a bit too heavily, this place would collapse again.
The ruined Fairy Palace was still majestic, and one could not see its end with a single glance while walking among its remains.
Turning past what should have been an archway, a wall appeared before them.
A wall that, despite countless ages, had largely remained intact.
On the wall were beautiful carvings, seeming to depict a group of exquisitely graceful fairies dancing; these engravings were one of the few things that remained sowhat clear.
It seed as if they were protected by so force, shielding them from the damage that had obliterated the rest of the Cloud Top Fairy Palace.
But two blood characters superimposed upon it shattered all sense of beauty.
These characters were written with an elegant and free-spirited flair, clearly by soone unrestrained by convention, yet they exuded a sense of ferocity and horror.
A sense of utter desperation emanated from the blood characters.
Those two characters were—”Taoist Thief.”
Beneath the blood characters was a long dragged blood handprint.
It was as if the person who wrote these words was forcibly dragged away by so terrifying being just after inscribing them.
Taoist Thief?
Jiang Wang chewed over these words repeatedly.
A thief of the Great Path?
A thief of the Taoist Sect?
Was it a person, a power, a monster, or a secret technique?
Within the ruins of Cloud Top Fairy Palace, the term “Taoist Thief” was the only clue he had found so far.
Yet, he could not deduce any answers from it.
He knew nothing about the Cloud Top Fairy Palace itself; he didn’t even know how he had entered.
The only thing he knew was that Chi Yun Mountain was likely the gate of the Cloud Top Fairy Palace, and that Yun Country’s Lingxiao Pavilion, Yong Country’s Green Cloud Pavilion, Cheng Country’s Spirit Sky Hall, and the solitary Cloud Roaming Elder, all had deep connections with Chi Yun Mountain.
Jiang Wang perford a Seal Technique, and the Body-Binding Chain erged from the void, lightly touching the two blood characters.
His intention was to use the Body-Binding Chain to sense the characters and glean more information; in such a mysterious place, he certainly wouldn’t dare to touch them directly with his hands.
However, the mont the pitch-black Body-Binding Chain touched the blood characters…
Sothing bizarre happened.
The blood characters vanished stroke by stroke.
And the entire Body-Binding Chain was erased section by section—as if the chain were rely drawn on and soone directly wiped it away with a cloth!
Jiang Wang couldn’t forget that at the reception pavilion on the south of Chi Yun Mountain, Zhong Qin vanished before their eyes in exactly this manner!
Each Body-Binding Chain had its limit of length.
Jiang Wang had stretched it as far as possible, but could only watch helplessly as it grew shorter and shorter.
When the two blood characters on the wall completely disappeared, Jiang Wang’s Body-Binding Chain also vanished.
He had just managed to increase his chains to two, and simply because he touched the blood character, one disappeared imdiately.
The loss was imnse.
As the words “Taoist Thief” disappeared, Jiang Wang faintly felt sothing lightly attached to his Taoist heart.
He couldn’t see it clearly, he couldn’t figure it out distinctly.
At the sa ti, the wall before him suddenly began to twist.
Everything he saw and felt was undergoing a marvelous change.
Jiang Wang seed to suddenly “jump” out of the Cloud Top Fairy Palace, looking down upon it from an entirely different perspective.
It was as if he was in the cosmic void, in an unknowable place.
The ruins of the entire Cloud Top Fairy Palace shrank continuously, while Jiang Wang himself seed to be expanding endlessly.
In that mont, he felt as if he could sense many specks of light scattered across the vast universe…
An enlightennt arose in his heart—
Those were the fragnts of the Cloud Top Fairy Palace.
