The Order Decides Heaven and Earth

For the Cloud Wandering Elder, his goal had always been the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace. He could abandon anything else for it, including his jealousy and his hatred.

The Cloud Peak Immortal Palace was his deepest obsession.

He was willing to forgo his vengeance and promise to split the spoils with Dou Mian, all to achieve his objective.

But for Dou Mian, the situation was different.

Back at the Guest-Welcoming Pavilion, Dou Mian had already been capable of breaking the Mountain Character Seal, but he had intentionally refrained from doing so. He hid a lethal strike, waiting for the moment the Cloud Wandering Elder moved to kill him so he could launch a counterattack.

He had even watched his Battle Golden Body dissipate without resistance, all to feign weakness and deceive his enemy.

However, the Cloud Wandering Elder had released him, choosing instead to prioritize seizing the Cloud Pattern Token from the hands of the White-Clad Daoist Boy.

Whether to continue waiting for an opportunity or to erupt into a struggle—he had already made his decision at that moment.

The reason he gave up on the Cloud Pattern Token was that he had already lost the head-on confrontation with the Cloud Wandering Elder. Aside from a surprise attack with his hidden trump card, he had no confidence in turning the tide.

He had already accepted the outcome of the Cloud Wandering Elder occupying the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace. He had not expected such a series of accidents, ultimately resulting in the High Heaven Pavilion—which hadn't even entered the Guest-Welcoming Pavilion—seizing the prize first.

He had seized the chance to provoke the Cloud Wandering Elder, hoping to land a killing blow while the man's mind was in turmoil. But before that could happen, the Guest-Welcoming Pavilion had already ejected them.
