World's Strongest Martial Warrior

The letter likely belonged to the golden-armored figure before him, chronicling significant events of his life.    

This man was once part of the Heavenly Emperor Palace in ancient times, serving as a Divine General within the Heavenly Profound Palace—one of the thirty-six Heavenly Profound Palaces under the dominion of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.    

The Heavenly Emperor Palace wielded immense power. At its zenith, it boasted multiple Immortal Emperors, and each of the thirty-six palace masters was an immensely powerful immortal king. The vast majority of the Immortal World fell under their rule.    

But then...    

A cataclysmic shift occurred in the Immortal World, and the Heavenly Emperor Palace crumbled virtually overnight.    

The ruins where Peter Parker and his companions now stood were once an Immortal Domain governed by the Heavenly Profound Palace, one of the Heavenly Emperor Palace's thirty-six palaces.    

During that upheaval, the Immortal Domain overseen by Tian Xuan was cast into another dimension. Eventually, it was unearthed by the Immortal Venerable Nameless and became the remnants of the Ancient Immortal King, now under the jurisdiction of the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

Peter Parker folded the letter, taking a moment to process the revelation.    

Though the letter did not specify the founder of the Heavenly Sovereign Palace, Peter deduced it was likely the work of the ancient Heavenly Emperor.    

This connection explained why the ancient Underworld Immortal had recognized him instantly upon his use of the Heavenly Emperor Seal.    

If his hunch was correct, these Ancient Netherworld Immortals were probably once affiliated with the thirty-six palaces of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, specifically the Heavenly Profound Hall.    

Yet the details of the past events remained elusive. The realm once controlled by the Heavenly Arcana Hall had suffered some transformation, causing the Heavenly Arcana Hall denizens to lose their awareness, giving rise to the Ancient Underworld Immortals.    

Peter Parker shook his head, dismissing the urge to delve deeper.    

This was a secret of antiquity with the potential to shake the entire Immortal World—a mystery far beyond the reach of a mere Heavenly Immortal like himself.    

Regaining his composure, Peter turned to Xu Ji, who was looking at him with a vacant expression, and said, "Xu Ji, you are free to claim the inheritance of the Great Luo here."    

"Brother Jiang Chen, are you serious? You're giving me the Great Luo inheritance?"    

Xu Ji couldn't believe his ears.    

It was common knowledge that the inheritance of a Great Luo Immortal Venerable was exceedingly rare, even within the prestigious ten halls of the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

Despite his considerable talent, he lacked the credentials to claim the Great Luo inheritance of the eighth palace.    

Yet, here they were, faced with the legacy left by an ancient Great Luo Immortal Venerable, a treasure coveted by countless in the Immortal World.    

Xu Ji had never dared to dream of such an opportunity.    

Peter Parker was actually offering him the inheritance of the Immemorial Great Luo Immortal Venerable!    

Peter Parker smiled reassuringly, "Yes, you heard correctly. I have no need for the Great Luo Immortal Venerable's inheritance. If you desire it, it's yours to take."    

He had mastered the Green Emperor's Longevity Art, the Immortal Killing Sword Art, the Heavenly Emperor Seal, among others—all far surpassing the Great Luo's legacy. Such a mere inheritance couldn't possibly pique Peter Parker's interest.    

Xu Ji was left speechless by Peter Parker's declaration.    

This man, capable of effortlessly defeating a ninth-grade Immemorial Underworld Immortal as a mere Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal, clearly held the Great Luo Immortal Venerable's inheritance in low regard.    

It was evident that Peter Parker possessed a superior legacy.    

"Well, in that case, I'll accept it without hesitation."    

Realizing Peter Parker's indifference to the Great Luo Immortal Venerable's inheritance, Xu Ji wasted no time in eagerly pocketing the treasure.    

With the Great Luo inheritance in hand, his standing within the eighth branch palace was bound to soar.    

He might even contend for the title of the branch's top prodigy.    

"Let's move on; there's nothing more for us here. We should explore the rest of the valley."    

After Xu Ji secured the Great Luo inheritance, Peter Parker scanned the hall one last time, finding nothing else of interest. He then led Xu Ji out of the hall.    

Once they exited, Peter Parker was ready to delve further into the valley's secrets.    

Despite the extreme danger of this location, it was intricately connected to the Heavenly Emperor from ancient times. Now, in possession of the Heavenly Emperor Seal, he could potentially be recognized by any primordial abyssal immortal who had retained even a sliver of consciousness. With this seal, he was unlikely to face significant threats within the valley.    

However, as Peter Parker and his companion exited the main hall, ready to delve deeper into the valley, they were startled by a faint noise behind them. Moments later, three figures emerged before Peter Parker's group.    

"Senior disciple Jiang, you've made it here as well," Xu Ji exclaimed, surprised but quickly warming up to a smile as he greeted the young man with the icy demeanor.    

The young man, Jiang Xingwei, was the top prodigy of the eighth branch palace, currently at the Second Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm.    

"Xu Ji, it's you!" Jiang Xingwei's attention sharpened, evidently not expecting Xu Ji to have reached this place before him. He had used the Immortal Art of Pursuing to track Xu Ji immediately upon entering the secret realm, but to his surprise, someone had beaten him to the discovery.    

Initially, Jiang Xingwei assumed the peerless talents from other halls had stumbled upon this site, especially upon seeing the corpses of Ancient Underworld Immortals. However, he was taken aback to find that it was Xu Ji from their own eighth branch palace who had ventured here—a feat that seemed impossible given Xu Ji's capabilities.    

Jiang Xingwei's gaze quickly fixed on Peter Parker, standing next to Xu Ji, and his expression darkened. "Xu Ji, you brought an outsider here!"    

"Senior disciple Jiang, given the perilous nature of this place, I didn't think it inappropriate to invite a friend along for the exploration," Xu Ji responded with a smile. "Without brother Jiang Chen's assistance, I wouldn't have been able to secure the inheritance here."    

Jiang Xingwei's eyes flickered with a cold light at the revelation that Xu Ji had indeed claimed the inheritance. As the premier genius of the eighth branch palace, Jiang Xingwei had ties to the senior who had first discovered this site and consequently knew more about it than Xu Ji.    

Back in the day, a senior member from the eighth branch made their way to this hall, intent on claiming the inheritance within.    

However...    

The ancient nether immortals amassed outside the hall proved to be overwhelmingly powerful. Ultimately, the senior had no alternative but to abandon the quest.    

Jiang Xingwei came prepared with numerous aces up his sleeve on this occasion, all to secure the ancient inheritance housed in the hall.    

It was beyond his wildest dreams that Xu Ji would be the first to lay claim to the inheritance. Jiang Xingwei couldn't stand for it.    

"Xu Ji, before we entered the secret realm, our Master explicitly instructed all disciples from the eighth branch palace to support me in acquiring the inheritance," Jiang Xingwei declared, locking eyes with Xu Ji. "The inheritance belongs to me. Relinquish what you've taken."
