World's Strongest Martial Warrior

As one of the esteemed Immortal Venerables of the Northern Profound Immortal Palace, Northern Profound Spring held a position of immense authority, esteemed by countless others within the palace.    

Defiance against his commands was a rarity throughout the Northern Profound Immortal Palace.    

Though Xing Zi'an struggled to come to terms with the fact that he had been asked to relinquish his position in the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace due to Peter Parker's arrival, the directive was beyond dispute.    

A flicker of emotion crossed Xing Zi'an's face.    

Despite his remarkable talent and esteemed status within the Northern Chill Immortal Palace, he would not dare to challenge Northern Chill Spring's authority.    

Ultimately, Xing Zi'an cast a resentful look at Peter Parker before departing with great reluctance.    

"Peter Parker, I owe you an apology. The situation with Xing Zi'an was an oversight on my part, and I regret any inconvenience it caused you," Northern Underworld Spring admitted with a smile after Xing Zi'an had left.    

Peter Parker shook his head dismissively. "It's alright. It's a natural reaction."    

He knew he would likely be irate if his own position had been usurped.    

"Don't worry. You shouldn't be bothered by anyone else from now on."    

With those words, Northern Underworld Spring vanished from Peter Parker's sight.    

Witnessing this, Peter Parker swiftly made his way back to the inn.    

The following days passed without incident, and Peter Parker enjoyed a period of tranquility.    

Before he knew it, half a month had elapsed.    

On the appointed day, Peter Parker arrived at the entrance of the Northern Chill Immortal Palace. Northern Chill Spring was there, accompanied by four prodigious young talents, awaiting his arrival.    

Peter Parker surveyed the four young prodigies, feeling a surge of astonishment.    

Each one possessed capabilities surpassing those of Xing Zi'an, who had been a thorn in his side days prior.    

In particular, a striking young man clad in white exuded a powerful and enigmatic presence. Peter Parker could not shake off a sense of danger emanating from him.    

A shiver of apprehension ran through Peter Parker.    

Clearly, the elite geniuses among the Immortal Kings were forces to be reckoned with.    

As Peter Parker assessed the four individuals before him, the four prodigies of the Northern Chill Immortal Palace returned his gaze with equal intensity. It was no surprise, considering that just half a month prior, Peter had triumphed in three consecutive battles on the Northern Chill Immortal Platform, even besting Leng Starlight. His display of strength and talent was nothing short of remarkable, capturing the attention of the palace's most gifted.    

One young man, in particular, stood out with his piercing, cold snake-like eyes. A subtle glint of malice flickered in his stare as he watched Peter, but it didn't go unnoticed. Peter's keen senses picked up on the hidden hostility, and he grew wary of the snake-eyed youth, sensing the ill will directed at him.    

"Peter Parker, you've arrived. We're running late; let's get moving," called out Northern Underworld Spring. With a wave of his hand, a majestic immortal crane, radiating an overwhelming presence, soared from the palace to land before them. The crane's aura was so formidable that it seemed capable of overpowering an average Golden Immortal Realm expert in a mere instant.    

"Let's go!" announced Darknorth Spring. He ushered Peter and the others onto the back of the red-crowned crane. In a flash of light, they soared off towards the southern horizon.    

During their journey, Peter learned from Northern Underworld Spring the purpose of their visit to the Sword Extinguishing Palace. It housed a mysterious ancient immortal pond known as the Immemorial Immortal Pond, whose waters possessed extraordinary properties. A baptism in the Immemorial Celestial Pond promised a significant boost in strength for anyone fortunate enough to experience it.    

Years ago, an Immortal King faction in the Immortal Domains had attempted to seize control of this pond. The Absolute Sword Immortal Palace, left with no other option, sought assistance from the Northern Chill Immortal Palace and another Immortal King force from the Snowfrost Immortal Domain. Together, they vanquished the formidable foe.    

As a result, whenever the Primeval Immortal Pond was accessible, the two great Immortal Domains would select a group of their finest young talents to vie for the chance to enter the Primeval Immortal Pond.    

After learning the full story, Peter Parker finally grasped the reason behind Xing Zi'An's animosity towards him. He had taken Xing Zi'An's place at the Absolute Cold Sword Palace, inadvertently robbing him of the chance to enter the Immemorial Immortal Pond. Peter Parker was baffled by the situation. Why had the Northern Underworld Spring offered him this chance so readily?    

"Xing Zi'an is talented and strong, but the likelihood of him securing a spot in the Ancient Immortal Pond is slim to none. His going there would be pointless," the Northern Underworld Spring explained, as if reading Peter's mind. He added with a slight smile, "Besides, I have a hunch that having you with us will prove more advantageous for the Northern Chill Immortal Palace."    

Peter Parker simply shook his head, dismissing the thought. The Immortal Courts of the Absolute Sword Immortal Palace had garnered widespread interest, signifying their exceptional nature. Presented with such an opportunity, he saw no reason to pass up the chance to explore.    

The Northern Chill Immortal Domain was immense. Peter Parker and his companions embarked on their journey from the capital and, after half a year of travel, reached the southernmost province of the domain.    

Throughout those six months, Peter Parker dedicated himself to relentless cultivation. However, he refrained from using the Tower of Time to hasten his progress. Such a treasure would surely tempt even a Great Luo Immortal Venerable, and revealing it might provoke the Northern Underworld Spring to turn against him in greed. With his current capabilities, Peter stood no chance against such a formidable being.    

Despite not utilizing the Tower of Time, Peter Parker consumed a drop of Thoughtless Immortal Dew, which propelled him into a state of profound enlightenment. This allowed him to progress from the early stages of a Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortal to the midpoint of that realm.    

It was clear, though, that as Peter Parker's strength grew, the impact of the Immortal Nectar of Thoughtless was less pronounced than before. Previously, a single drop had catapulted him from the threshold of the Heavenly Immortal realm to the peak of the First Grade Heavenly Immortal realm, multiplying his strength several-fold.    

Having advanced his cultivation base to the Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm, Peter Parker found that a single drop of Thoughtless Immortal Dew could now only elevate him from the early stages of the Fourth Grade to the mid Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm. To transition from the mid to the late Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm, he would require at least two drops of the precious dew. And to ascend to the pinnacle of the Fourth Stage Heavenly Immortal level, he anticipated the need for an even greater quantity.    

Upon reaching the southernmost province of the Northern Chill Immortal Domain, Peter Parker and his companions pressed on, arriving at the domain's southernmost point after several additional days of travel. There, the Northern Chill Spring harnessed the potent energy of the Great Luo to shatter the realm's barrier, guiding Peter Parker and his group southward towards the enigmatic Absolute Sword Immortal Domain.
