World's Strongest Martial Warrior

A middle-aged Great Luo Immortal Venerable clad in heavy armor spoke with measured calm.    

The Purple Void Immortal Palace, once a formidable Primordial force, had long been overshadowed by the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. Initially, the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, in its heyday, had consistently overpowered the Purple Void Immortal Palace, compelling it into submission.    

However, after a significant upheaval, the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace's influence waned. Seizing the opportunity, the once-oppressed Purple Void Immortal Palace rose in defiance, even launching an assault on the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace's revered Jade Cloud Immortal Mountain.    

Despite this aggression, the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, with its deep-rooted Primordial essence, successfully fended off the attack from the Purple Void Immortal Palace.    

Over the years, the Purple Void Immortal Palace sought every opportunity to undermine the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, aiming to erode its power and prevent any resurgence. Yet, the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace remained vigilant, thwarting any potential threats from their long-standing adversary.    

Now, the question arose: was the Purple Void Immortal Palace orchestrating a covert scheme against them?    

The Jade Demon Immortal Venerable's eyes shone with insight. "We can't dismiss the possibility, but it seems unlikely. The Purple Void Immortal Palace has only one Primordial Immortal Venerable. Even if they were conspiring against us, it's improbable that they would dispatch a Taiyi Immortal Venerable into the territory of the Bi Yun Immortal Palace."    

Among the ranks of the Great Luo Immortal Venerables and the Grand Unity Immortal Venerables, most held their lives in even higher regard than the average person.    

The Taiyi Immortal Venerable from the Purple Void Immortal Palace had previously been bested by the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. They were acutely aware that the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace possessed the formidable Chaos Immortal Venerable—a force capable of inflicting severe injury even upon a Grand Unity Immortal Venerable.    

It was this very deterrent that, over the years, allowed the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace to command respect from countless Primordial Immortal forces, ensuring that none would dare provoke them.    

In Bi Yao Immortal Venerable's view, Purple Void Immortal Palace must have been supremely confident in their ability to confront Jade Cloud Immortal Palace; otherwise, the Primordial Immortal Venerable would never have ventured into Jade Cloud Immortal Palace's domain so brazenly.    

A hush fell over the assembly as they pondered the words of Demonic Jade Immortal Reverent. If Purple Void Immortal Palace wasn't backing the Ye Family, then who was?    

"We cannot simply overlook the Ye Family's actions. The truth must be uncovered. Moreover, the Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique is of great significance to our Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. We must reclaim it. Who among you is prepared to journey to Cangye City?"    

Amidst the ensuing silence, Bi Yao Immortal Venerable's voice echoed once more. The Great Luo Immortal Venerables of Jade Cloud Immortal Palace remained mute.    

Jade Sword Immortal was the most senior among the Great Luo Immortal Venerables within Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. Save for the paramount Great Luo Immortal Venerable, none could claim to overpower him.    

Yet even Jade Sword Immortal Venerable had met his demise at the Ye Family's residence in Cangye City. For any of them to go there would be tantamount to seeking their own end.    

"Palace Lord, the entity backing the Ye Family in Cangye City is shrouded in mystery. We should refrain from any hasty actions until we have ascertained their background. I believe this situation warrants a thorough deliberation," advised the white-haired elder seated to the left of Jade Demon Immortal Venerable, his voice grave.    

"It is precisely because the adversary's background and intentions remain unknown that we must urgently seek out this information," Jade Demon Immortal Venerable responded resolutely, addressing the white-haired elder. "Grand Elder, you and Commander Bi Zhan will take the Immortal Swallow Cloud Saber and set off for Green Sky together. It's time we paid a visit to Ye City."    

The emergence of a formidable force capable of slaying a Great Luo Immortal Venerable within Jade Cloud Immortal Palace's realm, one that stood in opposition to them, necessitated immediate action. Failing to identify this foe could prove catastrophic, akin to a ticking time bomb within Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

Moreover, the demise of Jade Sword Immortal was an event that simply couldn't be kept under wraps. Once word of this tragedy spreads, it's likely that even the Purple Void Immortal Palace will be thrown into disarray. Such unrest would only spell further trouble for Jade Cloud Immortal Palace.    

Securing the Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique is of paramount importance for Jade Cloud Immortal Palace. For years, they've been aggressively recruiting young prodigies from all corners to execute a critical plan. Success of this plan could herald a return to their former glory, reestablishing them as a formidable power within the Thunder Immortal Domain.    

Despite their efforts, the lack of truly exceptional talents has rendered their strategy almost ineffective. What they desperately require is a prodigy endowed with an extraordinary constitution akin to the Myriad Spirit Immortal Physique. Securing it from the Ye Clan would significantly bolster their chances of success.    

Grand Elder Bi Mu, a seasoned Immortal Venerable of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace, is on par with Bi Sword Immortal in terms of strength. Similarly, Bi Zhan, the commander of the Jade Cloud Immortal Guard, is renowned for his combat prowess, despite not having ascended to the Great Luo Immortal Venerable realm for long. His capabilities are nearly comparable to those of Jade Sword Immortal Venerable.    

Together, they might stand a chance against a Primordial Immortal Venerable.    

Furthermore, they've been instructed to carry the Palace Guarding Immortal Artifact, the timeless Cloud Devouring Immortal Saber. With such a formidable weapon, even if a Primordial Immortal Venerable were protecting Cangye City and proved too strong for them, they could still make a safe retreat.    

Taking a moment to steady himself, Bi Mu declared, "Since the Palace Master has commanded it, I shall journey to Cangye City with Commander Bi Zhan to conduct our investigation."    

The untimely death of Immortal Venerable Bi Jian had naturally instilled a sense of caution regarding Cangye City. Yet, with Bi Zhan by his side and the Cloud Devouring Immortal Saber in hand, Bi Mu felt confident that they could potentially confront a Primordial Immortal Venerable.    

As the Great Luo Immortal Venerables of the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace convened to strategize their next moves, a scene of tranquility unfolded within the residence of the core disciples. Nestled in an ancient and ornate courtyard stood a woman of ethereal beauty, clad in a pristine white dress.    

Peter Parker, had he been present, would have instantly recognized her. This was Ling Xiyao, the very same woman he had encountered in the Immortal Breaking Universe.    

A perplexed murmur escaped her lips, "What's transpired within the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace? Has a Great Luo Immortal Venerable truly perished?" Her gaze, drawn towards the heart of the palace, sparkled with a curious luminescence. Such an event was unprecedented in her many years at the palace, hinting at a profound upheaval within its storied walls.    

"Senior Sister Ling," called a melodious voice, rousing Ling Xiyao from her contemplation. She turned to find a petite figure in green approaching her.    

Ling Xiyao's eyes softened as she regarded the young woman before her, a smile gracing her features. "Qing'er, what news have you come upon?"    

The girl in green nodded, her voice a gentle whisper, "It's said that Immortal Reverent Bi Jian has met his end in Cangye City."
