World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Elder Bi Jian gave a cold snort. "Do you think I could be mistaken? Lu Qing's life force has vanished from this world."    

"But how could that happen?" The man's brow furrowed deeply. "I've heard that the Ye Family's patriarch in Cangye City, Ye Qingming, has a daughter of remarkable talent. Lu Qing offered to visit the Lu Family there, and I consented. He even had the support of a half-step Great Luo; how could anything go wrong?"    

The Ye Family of Cangye City was nothing more than a Golden Immortal power. Their strongest, Patriarch Ye Qingming, was merely a Ninth Grade Golden Immortal. He posed no threat to Lu Qing.    

Moreover, Lu Qing had the protection of a half-step Golden Immortal. With such strength, they could easily crush the Ye Clan of Cangye City.    

"The audacity of the Ye Clan of Cangye City, to kill my disciple!" Elder Bi Jian's voice was icy as he vanished from sight, leaving the green-robed man staring at the empty space.    

The man's frown deepened. If both Lu Qing and the half-step Great Luo had fallen at the hands of the Ye Clan, it suggested that the Ye Clan was far more formidable than they seemed.    

Nevertheless, the man did not intervene as Elder Bi Jian set off to wreak havoc on the Ye Clan in Cangye City. The unexplained deaths of Jade Cloud Immortal Palace members in Cangye City could not be overlooked.    

Regardless of the Ye Family's capabilities, with Elder Bi Jian—a Great Luo Immortal Venerable—on their side, the Ye Family would be powerless to retaliate.    

...    

Having dealt with the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace adversaries for the Ye Family, Peter Parker was warmly invited into Cangye City by Ye Qingming. At the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Qingming hosted a lavish banquet in honor of Peter Parker.    

"Young Master Peter Parker," he said, introducing his daughter, "this is Ye Ling."    

During this time, Ye Qingming introduced a stunning young woman in a white dress to Peter Parker. She appeared to be around Peter's age, yet she possessed the cultivation level of a First Grade Golden Immortal—an exceptionally rare find within the ranks of Golden Immortals. Her remarkable talent was undeniable.    

"Ye Ling, quickly express your gratitude to Mr. Peter Parker for saving your life. Without his intervention, you might very well have ended up at the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace," Ye Qingming prompted, giving his daughter a meaningful glance.    

Peter Parker, with his extraordinary lineage and status as a near-Great Luo Immortal Venerable prodigy, was a connection that could greatly benefit his daughter's future prospects.    

"I am indebted to Mr. Peter Parker for my life," Ye Ling said, approaching Peter with a graceful bow, her voice melodious and sweet.    

At that moment, Bing Chen's gaze landed on Ye Ling, his eyes widening in surprise. "Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique?"    

Peter's interest was piqued. "What's the Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique?"    

Bing Chen elaborated, "The Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique is an extremely rare type of Immortal Physique in our world. It has the capacity to consume the essence of the heavens and the earth, assimilating various energies for cultivation."    

"It also naturally resonates with the Laws of the Immortal Dao. Essentially, once someone with the Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique fully develops it, they can effortlessly master Immortal Force and command the elements. In other words, Ye Ling is destined to become at least a Great Luo Immortal Venerable once her physique is fully actualized."    

Peter Parker couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath upon hearing this revelation. He had not anticipated that Ye Qingming's daughter would possess such an extraordinary gift.    

The rank of Great Luo Immortal Venerable marked a significant threshold in the Immortal World, a level that even the most gifted among the Great Luo might never attain. Yet, with Ye Ling's Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique, simply achieving full potential would guarantee her ascension to at least that esteemed status.    

It's truly exasperating how people are constantly compared to one another.    

"Little girl, I have never taken a disciple in all my years. Would you be willing to accept me as your master?" Bing Chen's voice echoed once again, just as Peter Parker was marveling at the power of the Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique.    

Clearly, Bing Chen, the venerable elder, was intent on taking this prodigy under his wing.    

Ye Ling was taken aback by Bing Chen's proposal and instinctively glanced at her father for guidance.    

"Little girl, in the primordial epoch, I was an Immortal Venerable, merely a step away from ascending to the Immortal King realm. Despite my strength being diminished for certain reasons, I assure you, I will not tarnish the prestige of your Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique."    

Seeing Ye Ling's hesitation, Bing Chen felt compelled to reaffirm his credentials. "Little girl, I was once a Chaos Origin Immortal Venerable, on the cusp of becoming an Immortal King. Even though my power has waned, I will honor the legacy of your Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique."    

"Ye Ling, don't delay—pay homage to your new Master," urged Ye Qingming, snapping out of his reverie and addressing Ye Ling with a look of elation.    

Ye Qingming had always had an inkling of Ye Ling's extraordinary nature. However, the Ye Family's limited means had left them ill-equipped to nurture her talents.    

With the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace's reputation in decline, Ye Qingming had been reluctant to entrust Ye Ling to their care, leaving her without a suitable mentor.    

His decision to introduce Ye Ling to Peter Parker was a strategic move, hoping to forge a beneficial alliance.    

But what he hadn't anticipated was that Icedust, the Immortal Venerable accompanying Peter Parker, would recognize Ye Ling's unique constitution and offer to mentor her.    

Ye Qingming was overjoyed at the prospect.    

And then, to everyone's surprise, Icedust revealed his past stature as a Chaos Origin Immortal Venerable!    

For Ye Ling to be apprenticed to such a figure was beyond the wildest dreams of the Ye Family. How could Ye Qingming possibly object?    

"Ye Ling greets Master," she said, without a moment's hesitation, bowing deeply to Bing Chen, acknowledging him as her master, with her father's blessing.    

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!" A rare smile broke through Bing Chen's typically stoic expression. "Your master has no gifts for you, but I will bestow upon you a magical body for your protection."    

Without delay, Bing Chen chanted an incantation, weaving a seal that he then infused into Ye Ling's body.    

With a smile, he assured Ye Ling, "This magical body is my legacy to you. Should danger arise, activate it, and not even the mightiest of Great Luo Immortal Venerables will be able to inflict the slightest harm upon you."    

Delight flickered across Ye Ling's radiant face as she expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, Master."    

Ye Qingming, witnessing the scene, was visibly thrilled. With Ye Ling now a master teacher and safeguarded by the Immortal Reverent Body, he could rest easy knowing his daughter was well-protected.    

"As my disciple, you can expect nothing less than fairness from me," Bing Chen declared, his hand sweeping through the air. A moment later, he turned his attention to Peter Parker and inquired, "Kid, you haven't exhausted the Immemorial Immortal Spring I gave you, have you?"
