World's Strongest Martial Warrior

0Ever since that fateful day, Lu Ding had been trying to convince Wan Xinghan to abandon his pursuit. Luo Wuji was immensely talented and strong; despite being merely an eighth-grade Heaven Immortal, it was rare for anyone below the Golden Immortal realm to pose a threat to him. And then there was Peter Parker—a prodigious talent with the potential to ascend to the rank of an Immortal King. Not a single soul in their Cangyun Immortal Abode could hold a candle to him. A person of such caliber was undoubtedly blessed with extraordinary destiny.    

    

Lu Ding harbored the suspicion that even if Wan Xinghan were determined to eliminate Peter Parker at any cost, he might not succeed. Worse, he could very well meet his end at Peter Parker's hands.    

    

"Give up? Impossible!" Wan Xinghan's eyes sparkled with resolve. "Even though the Nameless Immortal Palace forbids unsanctioned combat, there's still a way to handle Peter Parker."    

    

Securing the Great Luo inheritance was a matter of luck. And as for the legacy of the Absolute Chill Immortal Sovereign, it seemed tailor-made for Wan Xinghan—how could he simply walk away from such an opportunity?    

    

Lu Ding realized he was powerless to sway Wan Xinghan's determination and could only sigh inwardly. Wan Xinghan was utterly bewitched by the inheritance of the Zenith Cold Immortal Venerable, his heart set on claiming the legacy of Immortal Juexian.    

    

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ding advised, "Since you're set on this course, you must act swiftly and engage the higher-ups of the Nameless Immortal Palace. Keep them here. Otherwise, once Peter Parker and his companions depart from Cangyun Prefecture, they'll become even more elusive."    

    

"This won't be a problem," Wan Xinghan assured him with a faint smile. "My Cangyun Immortal Palace has strong ties with Great Immortal Wucen of the Nameless Immortal Palace. Convincing him to prevent Peter Parker and his group from leaving will be effortless."    

    

"Let's go meet Great Immortal Wucen," Wan Xinghan proposed, leading Lu Ding further into the sanctuary of the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

    

Deep within the Nameless Immortal Palace, Peter Parker, guided by Luo Wuji, approached a robust middle-aged man with a distinctly square jaw.    

    

The middle-aged man's name was Gu Biao, a friend and travel companion of Luo Wuji. His cultivation had soared to the brink of the Golden Immortal Realm, earning him the role of deacon at the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

    

"Brother Wuji, I'm surprised to see you here at the Nameless Immortal Palace. What brings you to me?" Gu Biao asked with a chuckle, his eyes reflecting genuine curiosity.    

    

Luo Wuji, ever direct, cut to the chase. "Brother Gu, I'll be frank. I need to use the palace's teleportation formation to depart from Cangyun State. Could you facilitate this for me at your earliest convenience?"    

    

"Ah, I see. That's a minor issue," Gu Biao replied with a reassuring smile. "Let me check the status of the teleportation formation and I'll make the necessary arrangements without delay."    

    

In the Immortal Dimension, operating a space-spanning teleportation formation was a colossal drain on energy, a feat not even a Golden Immortal could sustain lightly.    

    

For this reason, the Nameless Immortal Palace's inter-spatial teleportation formation was typically activated at regular intervals, transporting only a predetermined number of individuals each time. Those wishing to use the formation were required to register in advance and pay a fee.    

    

But, as with all things, exceptions existed. With a hefty payment or the backing of the palace's higher-ups, the formation could be activated at any time.    

    

"Brother Wuji, I must apologize," Gu Biao said, looking up with a hint of regret. "I've just been informed there's an issue with the teleportation formation. It's under repair and may take several days before it's operational again."    

    

Upon hearing the news, Luo Wuji and Peter Parker exchanged a glance, both taken aback. The palace's teleportation formation had a long-standing record of reliability. This sudden malfunction was suspicious, hinting at an underlying scheme.    

    

They had a hunch that Wan Xinghan was likely the one pulling strings from the shadows.    

    

Luo Wuji offered a respectful fist-and-palm salute to Gu Biao and said, "Given the circumstances, I hope I'm not imposing too much on Brother Gu. Should the teleportation formation be restored, please notify me immediately."    

    

Gu Biao nodded, his smile reassuring. "Brother Wuji, rest assured, I'll let you know."    

    

With nothing more to add, Luo Wuji departed from Gu Biao's abode alongside Peter Parker.    

    

Watching them go, Gu Biao couldn't help but bow his head in contemplation. The teleportation formation at the Nameless Immortal Palace had always been reliable; a sudden malfunction was highly improbable, and he knew this well.    

    

The spread of such rumors indicated that someone within the Nameless Immortal Palace didn't want them to leave without complications. The authority to seal the teleportation array with a mere word likely belonged to a high-ranking elder of the Golden Immortal Realm.    

    

"It's probably wisest to steer clear of this affair," Gu Biao murmured to himself, shaking his head.    

    

Despite his friendship with Luo Wuji, he had no intention of crossing a Golden Immortal Realm elder of the Nameless Immortal Palace for his sake.    

    

"Peter, there's definitely something off with the Nameless Immortal Palace's teleportation formation. This whole situation is quite peculiar, and I suspect Wan Xinghan is involved," Luo Wuji remarked gravely once they were away from Gu Biao's residence.    

    

Peter Parker nodded, his eyes reflecting a steely resolve. "In that case, we'll stay put in the Nameless Immortal Palace for a few days. I'm curious to see what Wan Xinghan thinks he can get away with."    

    

"The Nameless Immortal Palace forbids any aggressive actions. Even with the Azure Cloud Immortal Palace behind him, Wan Xinghan wouldn't dare to directly confront us here," Luo Wuji mused with a frown. "I'm intrigued by what he's plotting to keep us here."    

    

"Since he's arrived, we can relax. Whatever scheme Wan Xinghan is concocting, we'll handle it as it comes—whether it's an army, a flood, or an earthquake, we're prepared."    

    

Peter Parker offered a faint smile and suggested, "Since we're stuck here for now, why don't we trade for some resources in this unnamed Immortal Palace to bolster our strength?"    

    

Luo Wuji's cultivation had soared to the zenith of the Eighth Grade Heavenly Immortal realm, teetering on the brink of ascending to the Ninth Grade. Once he achieved the Ninth Grade Heavenly Immortal status, not even an average First Grade Golden Immortal would pose a threat to him.    

    

Moreover, he had already advanced to the cusp of the Heaven Immortal realm. Advancing just one more step to the first-grade would skyrocket his combat power exponentially.    

    

As long as they maintained their formidable strength, Wan Xinghan's intricate schemes would crumble before them.    

    

"Alright, let's head over to the trading area of the Nameless Immortal Palace and see what we can find," Luo Wuji said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.    

    

Having consumed the Tree Fairy Fruit, Luo Wuji was on the verge of attaining the ninth-grade Celestial Immortal level. With the right resources from the Nameless Immortal Palace, reaching that milestone would be effortless. Then, he would wield a fearsome combat prowess on par with a Golden Immortal master. And with such power, what would he have to fear from Wan Xinghan's machinations?
