Lu Ding, having utilized a secret technique, proved formidable. Despite Luo Wuji's considerable prowess, quickly besting him would be no simple feat.
Moreover...
Luo Wuji was reluctant to take the lives of the trio unless absolutely necessary.
Indeed, Luo Wuji lacked complete certainty in his ability to eliminate all three individuals. And should he succeed, the Azure Cloud Immortal Manor's resources might enable them to track him down.
While Luo Wuji was a seasoned traveler, unafraid of the Azure Cloud Immortal Manor, he recognized that such a conflict might prevent him from returning to the Azure Cloud State for some time.
However...
The Luo Water Merchant Union's base in Cangyun State made him cautious; he wished to avoid drawing trouble to them.
"Peter, Wan Xinghan is callous and unyielding. He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants. I doubt he'll let this go," Luo Wuji remarked, his gaze following the path Wan Xinghan and his companions had taken, a frown creasing his brow.
Peter Parker offered a slight smile and reassured, "It's alright. We don't need to tail them any further. All we have to do is exit Cang Yun Province."
Luo Wuji nodded in agreement and mused, "In that case, let's make for the Nameless Immortal Palace and use its teleportation formation to depart Cang Yun Province."
"Nameless Immortal Palace?" Peter Parker's curiosity was piqued.
He recalled Luo Qing'er mentioning the Nameless Immortal Palace in passing. The healing elixir Luo Qing'er had procured for Luo Qianqiu seemed to have originated there.
Aware that Peter Parker had only recently ascended from the lower realms and was unfamiliar with the Immortal World, Luo Wuji took the opportunity to enlighten him about the Nameless Immortal Palace.
The Nameless Immortal Palace was a profoundly enigmatic entity within the Northern Chill Immortal Domain, its influence extending across the entire region.
The Northern Chill Immortal Domain was divided into eighteen provinces, each housing its own Nameless Immortal Palace. Even the preeminent Northern Chill Immortal Palace regarded it with a measure of caution.
The Nameless Immortal Palace was not just a hub for trading various types of support, but also a nexus for gathering diverse information. It was widely acknowledged that with the right price, there was virtually nothing beyond the capabilities of the Nameless Immortal Palace. Having heard Luo Wuji's explanation, Peter Parker gained a preliminary understanding of this enigmatic establishment. It bore a striking resemblance to the Divine Realm's Heaven's Secret Tower, almost like a superior version of it.
"Is the Nameless Immortal Palace the only entity capable of setting up an inter-spatial teleportation formation in the Immortal World?" Peter Parker inquired with a hint of curiosity. If that were true, the power of the Nameless Immortal Palace would be incredibly profound.
"That's not the case," Luo Wuji replied with a smile, shaking his head. "The space in the Immortal World is indeed very stable, but anyone who attains the Great Luo Immortal Venerable Realm can create a spatial passageway and establish a teleportation formation."
With this new insight, Peter Parker realized that there were only three Great Luo forces in Cangyun State, all situated within Cangyun Immortal City at the heart of the state. This meant that, apart from Cangyun Immortal City, the Nameless Immortal Palace was the sole controller of a teleportation formation leading to Cangyun State.
Given their current hostile relationship with Wan Xinghan, akin to oil and water, venturing to Azure Cloud Immortal City could pose a risk of being unable to use the teleportation formation to exit Cangyun State. By contrast, seeking out the Nameless Immortal Palace appeared to be a far less troublesome option. After a brief discussion, they set their course towards the Nameless Immortal Palace.
The Nameless Immortal Palace was centrally located in Cangyun State, neighboring the Azure Cloud Immortal City—one of the Nine Great Immortal Cities. It was, however, a considerable distance from the Sky Water Immortal City. Peter Parker and Luo Wuji embarked on a journey that spanned over a month, traversing through two major immortal cities before finally reaching their destination. Throughout their travels, they encountered no difficulties, making for a remarkably smooth passage.
Given Peter Parker's strength and that of his companion, they were virtually invincible unless they came up against an expert from the Golden Immortal Realm. Such experts were exceedingly rare in Cangyun State, a place where even the most prominent of the nine Immortal Cities, aside from the bustling Cangyun Immortal City, might boast no more than ten Golden Immortal Realm masters.
Standing before the Nameless Immortal Palace, Peter Parker gazed up at the towering structure. To call it a mere palace would be an understatement; it was more akin to a sprawling city. A network of unique palaces linked together, soaring into the clouds, presented a sight of sheer wonder.
The palace was encircled by formidable formation barriers, sealing it off from the outside world. These defenses were so robust that even Golden Immortals would struggle to breach them.
The Nameless Immortal Palace featured grand doors on its north, south, east, and west sides. Immortals of every imaginable form streamed toward the palace from all directions, a never-ending procession of seekers and aspirants.
At the magnificent golden gate, five guards stood watch. Each radiated an aura of immense power, their strength on par with a ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal, if not greater. The leader among them had even transcended this level, nearing the threshold of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Peter Parker couldn't help but feel a shiver of awe. "The Nameless Immortal Palace truly commands respect from the three major powers of the Northern Chill Immortal Palace. It's no ordinary force."
The fact that such formidable guardians were stationed at the gates was a testament to the palace's might, suggesting it far outstripped the Golden Immortal forces of Heavenly Water Immortal City, and perhaps even the esteemed Great Luo Trials.
Within the Northern Chill Immortal Domain, there were eighteen provinces, each home to its own Nameless Immortal Palace. The collective might of these eighteen palaces was a force to be reckoned with.
At the entrance, the five guards meticulously inspected each individual in the queue, issuing numbered tokens as they granted entry into the Nameless Immortal Palace.
Admission to the Nameless Immortal Palace requires payment in immortal stones, with each stone granting access for a single day.
Luo Wuji, with a friendly smile, led Peter Parker to the back of the line and shared this information.
"One immortal stone is only good for one day!" Peter Parker marveled inwardly, astounded by the revelation.
Immortal stones, despite being the currency of the Immortal World, were exceedingly scarce.
Typically, a True Immortal without significant backing would find it challenging to acquire even one immortal stone.
Moreover, it was rare for Heaven Immortals to afford an extended stay at the Nameless Immortal Palace.
Nonetheless...
The steep price of entry to the Nameless Immortal Palace was of little concern to Peter Parker.
Having amassed over a thousand immortal stones from conquering the Great Luo Secret Realm's trials, and despite depleting half of his stash since then, he still had several hundred at his disposal.
If he chose to, Peter Parker could comfortably reside in the Nameless Immortal Palace for a year and a half.
After an hour's wait, Peter Parker and his companions stepped through the gates of the Nameless Immortal Palace.
The guard captain cast a cursory glance at Peter Parker, a fleeting sharpness in his eyes, and stated coolly, "Ten immortal stones. That will cover a day's stay in the Nameless Immortal Palace."
