When Jiang Yuan sensed that the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit's state was extremely similar to his own, a gentle healing light slowly bloomed from his fingertips.
In an instant, white light and wisps of silver light in the mist intertwined, like a dream.
Just then, the drizzling rain stopped.
Jiang Yuan extended his mental power into the Yunmeng Water Mist, sensing a nascent soul consciousness.
This should be the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit's consciousness.
Jiang Yuan softly asked, "Do you want to wake up?"
The Yunmeng Water Mist trembled slightly.
"My King, you can communicate with her?" Jiu Youhou asked, her face full of surprise.
One must know that as a top-tier spiritual power user among the Great Monarchs, she had tried to communicate with the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit many times, but was always blocked by an invisible barrier.
Jiang Yuan nodded and smiled, "Give her to me, she's afraid of you."
"Afraid of me?" Jiu Youhou looked at the Yunmeng Water Mist suspended in her hand, a little puzzled, "If she wasn't limited by her lifespan, her strength would be at least one level higher than mine. How could she be afraid of me?"
Saying that, she handed the Yunmeng Water Mist to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan took it and shook his head gently, "Her soul is incredibly young, full of new life. Perhaps she is no longer the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit of the past."
Within this Yunmeng Water Mist, the Holy Spirit's soul was like a newborn, without any trace of age.
Jiu Youhou fell into thought.
As soon as the Yunmeng Water Mist reached Jiang Yuan's hand, a miraculous change occurred.
The original sky blue gradually faded, slowly turning into the color of white clouds, like a soft, sticky marshmallow, gently swaying in Jiang Yuan's hand.
"Do you want to wake up?" Jiang Yuan asked softly again.
"Wu~~" This time, the Yunmeng Water Mist responded.
In an instant, the Yunmeng Water Mist surged violently, and a small figure flickered within it, as if about to break out of a cocoon.
However, not long after, the figure disappeared again, leaving only a cloud of white mist floating leisurely in mid-air.
Jiang Yuan knew that she had woken up, because the soul consciousness he had just felt was much clearer.
His and Jiu Youhou's gazes simultaneously fell upon the white cloud.
Jiu Youhou was about to ask why there was no movement, but was stopped by a look from Jiang Yuan.
The two of them waited quietly like this.
Time slowly passed.
A cute little head peeked out from the white cloud. Her eyes were as clear as crystal, adorned with the light of stars.
The Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit timidly glanced at Jiu Youhou, and the white cloud beneath her silently drifted behind Jiang Yuan.
Immediately after, she let out a playful "Wuhoo~~~"
The entire white cloud landed on Jiang Yuan's shoulder.
"She... it seems she has completed a legacy?" Jiu Youhou said uncertainly.
The Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit in front of them was already vastly different from how she looked when Jiu Youhou first saw her, and more importantly, her soul was no longer the familiar soul.
It seemed that a new Water Holy Spirit had been nurtured within the Yunmeng Heavenly Water.
When an Elemental Holy Spirit's life ends, the next Holy Spirit is born from the power of the previous one.
However, this newly nurtured Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit could no longer be considered a true Water Holy Spirit.
She was nourished by vast death energy and slept for thousands of years in the resting place of the Undead, already becoming an alternative Undead, somewhat similar to a Vampire.
Strictly speaking, perhaps she should be called a Water Elemental Undead Holy Spirit?
"Wuhoo~~" The Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit was very affectionate towards Jiang Yuan, rubbing against his shoulder, directly expressing her fondness for him.
"My King, she is now more qualified to advance to Emperor than us Eight Directional Undead Monarchs. Sign a contract with her. This little one will definitely become your strongest arm in the future," Jiu Youhou said.
After all, the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit, whose life had been sublimated and whose lifespan was no longer limited, had far greater potential than their Eight Directional Undead Monarchs.
Of course, Jiang Yuan had to contract her.
He nodded slightly, raised his finger, and gently poked the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit's forehead, asking, "Are you willing to sign a contract with me?"
Upon hearing this, the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit nodded her small head repeatedly.
The Three-Eyed Underworld General and the Twisted Undead were Undead created by Jiang Yuan, so he could still sign contracts with the Undead he created.
Immediately, he connected to the Intermediate Star Map.
In a single thought, mysterious and complex contract patterns appeared in mid-air, emitting a grayish-white light.
"Wuhoo~?" The Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit looked curiously at the contract patterns.
The patterns slowly flew in front of her, and she gently touched them with her forehead.
In an instant, Jiang Yuan clearly felt that he had effortlessly formed a contract with the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit.
This little one held nothing back, giving herself completely to him simply out of affection for Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan smiled and thought of a name for the Yunmeng Water Holy Spirit: "From now on, I'll call you Little Yunmeng."
"Wuhoo~~!" Little Yunmeng cheered excitedly, then plunged into Jiang Yuan's chest.
Jiang Yuan looked down and saw Little Yunmeng directly merge into his body.
Immediately after, a vast power erupted in his chest, spreading like a surging tide to all parts of his body in an instant.
His hair gradually turned sky blue, his eyes became as bright as crystals, with stars twinkling within them.
Several white clouds slowly appeared around his body. Amidst the swirling mist, he was like an immortal from myths and legends, ethereal and extraordinary.
"Is this Elemental Possession?"
Jiang Yuan carefully felt the power surging within his body.
The newborn Little Yunmeng's rank was not Servant-level. Already possessing an extremely high life level, she was now an Intermediate-level Battle General in the advancement stage.
And her Yunmeng Heavenly Water needed to reach the Monarch-level to fully awaken. Currently, it was only equivalent to a top-tier Soul Seed, which could be called Yunmeng Soul Water.
It provided a top-tier six-fold increase in the power of Water System magic, and also granted Jiang Yuan the Yunmeng Domain.
The Yunmeng Domain could trigger a celestial phenomenon—a heavy downpour.
Under heavy downpour conditions, Water Elements would enter a hyper-active state, not only repelling other elements but also imbuing Water Element magic with a powerful penetrating effect.
Moreover, when the heavy downpour continued for a period of time, it would trigger an Intermediate-level Level 5 Torrent every minute, and after ten minutes, it would directly trigger a High-level magic—Heavenly Waterfall Dive!
Combined with Jiang Yuan's innate talent.
The celestial phenomena triggered by the Yunmeng Domain would not be limited to heavy downpours, but could also trigger phenomena like blizzards and boiling rain.
Jiang Yuan couldn't even imagine what kind of enhancement and domain the Yunmeng Soul Water would provide after advancing to Yunmeng Heavenly Water!
According to Jiu Youhou, Yunmeng Heavenly Water was already considered a top-tier Heavenly Seed among Heavenly Seeds!
"Hmm," Jiang Yuan looked at the white clouds around him and suddenly felt he could step on them.
He actually did just that, summoning a cloud beneath his feet and stepping directly onto it.
It felt a bit soft, but it wasn't like stepping on air.
Jiang Yuan tried to control the white cloud to float upwards, and it actually carried him suspended in mid-air!
