World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Upon receiving the news, a sharp gleam flashed in Peter Parker's eyes.    

The Great Luo Secret Realm was intrinsically linked to the esteemed Great Luo Immortal Venerables, who reigned above the Golden Immortal Realm.    

Even the mighty Golden Immortal factions would likely battle fiercely for a chance to enter the Great Luo Secret Realm.    

This was an unexpected turn of events for Peter Parker.    

The Luo Water Merchant Union, with a mere four spots available, had surprisingly offered one to him.    

The Great Luo Secret Realm undoubtedly held incredible opportunities. Given that Luo Qianqiu had extended this offer, Peter Parker saw no reason to decline.    

With that thought, he made his way decisively toward the secret chamber's exit.    

"Young Master Peter Parker, you've emerged at last. Had you delayed any longer, I fear you might have missed the Great Luo Secret Realm."    

Luo Qing'er's face lit up with joy as she watched Peter Parker step out of the secret chamber.    

"My apologies for the wait."    

Peter Parker offered a slight smile, then raised his gaze to Luo Qianqiu. "The entry to the Great Luo Secret Realm is extraordinarily valuable. Considering I'm not affiliated with the Luo Water Merchant Union, why would Alliance Leader Luo offer me one?"    

"Firstly, your talent is unmatched, and your potential for future accomplishments knows no bounds. The Luo River Merchant Union is eager to establish a favorable rapport with you. Secondly, your strength intrigues me. With you venturing into the Great Luo Secret Realm, Qing'er and the others will be in much safer hands."    

Luo Qianqiu regarded Peter Parker with a calm demeanor, a flicker of astonishment passing through his eyes, nearly imperceptible.    

Though it was their first meeting, Luo Qianqiu had already heard much about Peter Parker from Luo Wuji and Luo Qing'er.    

Peter Parker was an ascendant from a lower universe. Upon his arrival in the Immortal World, he had swiftly dispatched a Level Three True Immortal envoy of the Lu Clan.    

A mere Third Stage True Immortal, he had the prowess to vanquish a Sixth Stage True Immortal with a single sword strike.    

In just half a month since his ascension, he had attained the strength of a Fourth Stage True Immortal, his combat abilities surpassing even those of a typical Ninth Stage True Immortal.    

After a little over a month in secluded cultivation, he had astonishingly advanced two ranks, achieving the status of a Rank Six True Immortal!    

One must understand that for ordinary True Immortals, advancing even a single rank could take dozens, if not hundreds, of years. Thus, those who manage to elevate their cultivation base by one rank within three to five years are considered exceptionally rare geniuses.    

Even someone as seasoned as Luo Qianqiu had never encountered an individual like Peter Parker, who astonishingly progressed from the Fourth Stage True Immortal realm to the Sixth Stage in just over a month. Luo Qianqiu simply shook his head, dismissing the urge to ponder the anomaly further. After all, the world was no stranger to extraordinary talents who defied all logic.    

Moreover, Peter Parker's remarkable increase in strength was nothing but advantageous for their Luo Shui Merchant Union. When he was at Rank Four True Immortal, his power was already comparable to that of a Rank Nine True Immortal. Now, as a Rank Six True Immortal, he was likely beyond the reach of even the average Rank One Heavenly Immortal.    

Regarding the upcoming expedition to the Great Luo Secret Realm, the rules stipulated that no one beyond the True Immortal level could enter. In such a place, Peter Parker was set to be a force to be reckoned with, unmatched by most. With him there, Luo Qianqiu could rest easy about the safety of Luo Qing'er.    

"Let's go. The Great Luo Secret Realm is about to open. We can continue our conversation on the way," Luo Qianqiu announced, then with a wave of his hand, summoned the power of a Golden Immortal. This power coalesced into a water dragon that swiftly carried Peter Parker and the rest towards the horizon.    

...    

The Arctic Mountain Range was a notorious danger zone, situated between the Heavenly Water Immortal City and the Eternal River Immortal City in Cangyun State. Its infamy even extended across the Northern Frost Immortal Domain. Here, mountains and rivers lay encased in ice for thousands of miles, and ferocious beasts roamed freely.    

Typically, even experts at the Golden Immortal level would hesitate to confront the bone-chilling cold tide that swept through the Arctic Mountain Range. However, this cold tide followed a mysterious cycle, vanishing briefly every thousand years.    

There were theories that the cold tide was artificially created, possibly marking the site where a legendary Great Luo Immortal Venerable met their end. It was rumored that a supreme legacy of the Great Luo Immortal Venerable remained hidden there, waiting to be discovered.    

Despite previous investigations by the Great Luo of Cangyun Prefecture yielding no results, the Arctic Mountain Range remained shrouded in mystery. Over time, skepticism grew, and few believed in the existence of a Great Luo Immortal Venerable's legacy within its icy expanse. However, against all expectations, the Lu Family from Sky Water Immortal City uncovered the elusive Great Luo Secret Realm hidden within the range.    

Initially, the Lu Family sought to keep their discovery a secret, hoping to claim the riches of the Great Luo Secret Realm for themselves. But word got out, and soon both immortal cities were abuzz with the news. Every major power now coveted a piece of the legendary realm.    

With the absolute cold tide of the Arctic Mountain Range receding for only a brief period, the two Immortal Cities were reluctant to engage in a deadly conflict over the realm. They reached a consensus to each send twenty True Immortals to explore the Great Luo Secret Realm.    

As the appointed time drew near, the once desolate Arctic Mountain Range began to stir with activity. The chosen representatives from both Immortal Cities converged on the range, traveling on various immortal treasures and beasts, delving deep into its heart.    

The allure of the Great Luo Mystic Realm even drew in ordinary immortals, who, despite lacking entry rights, hoped to seize any chance to slip into the realm amidst the chaos and claim a fortune for themselves.    

Guided by Luo Qianqiu, Peter Parker and his companions made swift progress toward the Arctic Mountain Range. As they ventured deeper, the crowds thinned, a testament to the lingering perils of the region. Even with the frigid tide gone, the heart of the range was fraught with dangers that could challenge even seasoned Celestial Immortals.    

Protected by Luo Qianqiu, a formidable Third Grade Golden Immortal, Peter Parker's group journeyed without incident. Roughly an hour later, they reached the core of the Arctic Mountain Range.    

Before them stood a Divine Gate, towering three hundred meters tall—an ancient and awe-inspiring structure suspended in the void. It radiated with an ethereal glow, and the air around it shimmered with spatial distortions. Peering through the gate, they glimpsed an endless white landscape, seemingly a portal to a realm of frost and snow.    

Beneath the Heaven Gate, numerous factions from the two immortal cities had already assembled. Their intense stares were fixed on the Heaven Gate suspended in the void.    

It was unmistakable.    

The Divine Gate before them was undoubtedly the entrance to the Great Luo Secret Realm.    

"Peter, your talent is exceptional, and your combat prowess is unmatched. It's rare to find someone in the True Immortal Realm who can stand toe-to-toe with you. Yet, this time, the Great Luo Secret Realm has attracted the crème de la crème from two Immortal Cities. There are two individuals in particular you need to watch out for," Luo Qianqiu advised as he led Peter Parker and the other three to a secluded spot beneath the Heavenly Gate, speaking in hushed tones to Jiang Chen.    

"Oh? Which two?" Peter Parker asked, his surprise evident.    

Currently a sixth-grade True Immortal, Peter was confident in his ability to hold his own against an average first-grade Heaven Immortal.    

No Heavenly Immortals would be joining this foray into the Great Luo Secret Realm.    

This implied that the two individuals Luo Qianqiu cautioned him about were truly remarkable, likely possessing the capability to challenge a Heavenly Immortal despite being in the True Immortal realm.
