He might not have been familiar with the exact hierarchy of the Immortals in the Immortal World, but he understood that Immortal Emperors were far superior to Immortal Kings. They were unparalleled beings at the very summit of the Immortal World.
The idea that this unassuming black pagoda could enable someone to attain the Immortal Emperor Realm in just 3,000 years was astounding!
Even for an Immortal Emperor of unmatched talent, this was a fearsome prospect.
After a brief pause, the Immortal Tablet responded, "I'm in the dark as well. It's likely that very few in the Immortal World are privy to the origins of this small tower."
"Peter Parker, this structure is known as the Time Pagoda. It wields extraordinary temporal powers. Our ancestor harnessed this pagoda to exponentially advance his cultivation. Regrettably, he revealed the existence of the Tower of Time to the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace before he could fully harness its potential."
As Peter Parker engaged in this exchange with the Immortal Monument, Ling Xiyao's detached voice interrupted once more.
"Alright, I accept your terms. Once I ascend to the Immortal World, I vow to aid you in toppling the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace!"
Taking a deep breath, Peter Parker looked up at Ling Xiyao and ventured, "But... I don't hail from the Immortal Breaking Universe. Can you still trust me?"
"You possess formidable strength. There's scarcely anyone in the lower realms who could rival you. If you were to forcefully claim the Tower of Time, I doubt I could thwart you. Under these circumstances, I'm inclined to take a risk."
Ling Xiyao's expression remained serene as she added, "Besides... your origins outside the Shattering Immortal Universe might actually work to our advantage."
The Immortal Breaking Universe was now firmly in the grip of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.
For its inhabitants seeking immortality through the Dao, servitude to the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace was a mandatory condition.
If Peter Parker were a native of the Immortal Breaking Universe, escaping the clutches of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace would be a formidable challenge. However, ascending to the Immortal World from a different universe, coupled with Peter Parker's innate talent and the power of the Tower of Time, he was poised for rapid advancement.
Without a moment's delay, Ling Xiyao imparted the technique for controlling the Tower of Time to Peter Parker.
"This technique is merely a basic method for influencing the Tower of Time. It doesn't grant full control. True mastery of the Tower of Time can only come from within. Even the founder of our Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect never fully harnessed its power," Ling Xiyao explained.
Peter Parker nodded in understanding and immediately put the technique into practice.
Despite his swift action, it took him three grueling days to finally secure the Tower of Time.
"It truly is a supreme treasure of the Immortal Dimension. Controlling it is incredibly challenging," Peter murmured to himself, feeling the waning Divine Power within him.
At his current level of strength, managing the Tower of Time proved more exhausting than battling a peak Mahayana Realm cultivator.
"You're fortunate the tower spirit is dormant. Otherwise, without its acknowledgment, not even the Immortal Kings could easily wield it," the voice of the immortal tablet echoed once more.
Curiosity piqued, Peter Parker inquired, "Senior, could you enlighten me on the Tower of Time's purpose?"
He had secured the Tower, yet activating it required Immortal Yuan energy—a power beyond his reach until he achieved Immortal Ascension. Thus, its true function remained a mystery to him.
"The Tower of Time wields the enigmatic power of time itself. Its secrets will unveil themselves once you ascend to the True Immortal Realm," the immortal tablet responded, pausing briefly before adding, "You've attained the Domination realm, making your presence in the lower realms redundant. Don't squander any more time here. Ascend to the Immortal World at your earliest convenience."
"I understand," Peter Parker acknowledged.
After previously deploying the Immortal Vanquishing Force from the Immortal Monument, his lifespan had dwindled. Time was of the essence.
Having resolved the affairs of the Immortal Breaking Universe, his next step was clear: to ascend, become an Immortal, and journey to the Immortal World.
Ling Xiyao gazed at Peter Parker, who now possessed the Time Pagoda, and whispered, "Peter Parker, the Time Pagoda is now yours. I must return to the Immortal World. Please remember the promise you made to me."
Peter Parker nodded reassuringly. "You have my word. I won't break my promise."
"I'll be waiting for you in the Purple Flame Heaven Domain of the Immortal World. Do not seek me out at the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace until you've ascended to the Great Luo realm," she instructed.
With those final words, Ling Xiyao crushed a jade token in her hand. A radiant light enveloped her, and she vanished from the world in an instant.
"Zenith Heaven Realm?" Peter Parker mused, his gaze contemplative. He inwardly inquired, "Senior Immortal Monument, what is this Great Luo realm that Ling Xiyao mentioned?"
"You've achieved the Eternal Realm, making you what is known as a True Immortal in the Immortal World. Beyond that lies the Heaven Immortal, followed by the Golden Immortal, and then the Zenith Heaven Immortal. Zenith Heaven Immortals are esteemed as masters in the Immortal World, second only to the Immortal Kings," the voice informed him.
The revelation left Peter Parker feeling a surge of awe.
Ling Xiyao's warning not to venture to the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace until he reached the Golden Immortal realm suggested that a Grand Luo Immortal must be presiding over it. Shaking off the thought, Peter Parker decided not to dwell on it.
For him, such concerns were still a distant future. The pressing issue was to resolve the Immortal Breaking Universe dilemma and devise a way to rise to the Immortal World.
Peter Parker's eyes lingered for a moment on the spot where Ling Xiyao had disappeared. Then, with a swift motion, he reappeared outside the palace. He scanned the area and noticed the three will energy bodies still stationed there.
"What's the matter? Do you intend to prevent me from claiming this treasure?" he asked them, a slight smile on his face.
The figure in the golden robe, who appeared to be their leader, paused before responding, "Since the young master has bestowed it upon you, we shall respect his wishes. We have no power to stop you. I only ask that you do not forget the promise you made to the young master."
Peter Parker nodded. He was on the verge of speaking when he abruptly sensed something amiss. Instinctively, he lifted his gaze toward the emptiness above.
An ethereal figure was rapidly approaching the main peak of the Sky-Breaking Immortal Sect. In just a moment, the figure had descended before Peter Parker and his companions.
The newcomer, who had appeared so suddenly, was the Peak Master of the Heavenly Sabre—Skyblade, whom Peter Parker had encountered not long before.
Peter's eyes narrowed with suspicion. Skyblade's unexpected arrival surely meant trouble.
"Skyblade, what brings you here?" he inquired.
The figure in the golden robe fixed Skyblade with a stern look.
Skyblade let out a contemptuous sneer. "Ling Changkong, the Tower of Time is a sacred treasure, zealously guarded by our Sky-Breaking Immortal Sect. Don't you think it's rather improper to let an outsider from beyond the Sky-Breaking Universe just waltz off with it?"
The shadowy figure's eyes grew icy as he retorted sharply, "Skyblade, you're challenging the Young Lord's directive. Are you prepared to defy his command?"
