At this revelation, Peter Parker's attention sharpened. The idea that a sixth-grade True Immortal could take down someone three grades higher was astounding. He Chenyi was undoubtedly a genius of the highest order. Under normal circumstances, Peter wouldn't be concerned if they were on equal footing. But the reality was different...
He Chenyi outclassed him by three whole grades. With his cultivation at the peak of the ninth-grade True Immortal realm, his fighting prowess was surely on par with that of a Heavenly Immortal. Overcoming such a disparity to challenge He Chenyi would be no small feat.
"There's someone else you need to watch out for even more than He Chenyi—he's from the Lu Clan," Luo Qianqiu continued, his eyes fixed on the Lu Clan's location, his expression grave. "Your abilities are enough to make the Lu Clan see you as a threat. Given that they're already your adversaries, they'll stop at nothing to eliminate you. This excursion to the Great Luo Secret Realm presents them with the perfect chance. The Lu Clan won't take it lightly."
Peter lifted his gaze in the direction of the Lu family. Their team was evidently more robust than that of the Luo Water Merchant Union, comprising seven members. Among them, a middle-aged man with piercing eyes and an elder clad in a white robe exuded the formidable aura of Golden Immortals—clearly, they were experts of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Flanking these two Golden Immortals were five young men, each radiating an impressive presence. One, in particular, was all too familiar to Peter—it was Lu He, the guardian of the Guiding Immortal Platform, a Seventh Stage True Immortal. The other four were no less formidable; three were Eighth Stage True Immortals, and one was a Ninth Stage True Immortal.
The ninth-grade True Immortal from the Lu family, Lu Hongyu, is their unparalleled prodigy. His prowess is on par with He Chenyi's. He's even clashed with a first-grade Heavenly Immortal and managed to retreat unscathed."
As Peter Parker assessed the Lu Clan members, Luo Qianqiu's voice echoed in his ears.
Peter remained silent, his brow furrowed as he scrutinized the stoic, black-robed youth standing next to Lu Hongyu. Despite the youth's apparent status as an eighth-grade True Immortal, Peter sensed that his strength might surpass that of Lu Hongyu.
Peter's gaze sharpened. He looked up at Luo Qianqiu and inquired, "Alliance Chief Luo, aside from Lu Hongyu, does the Lu family have any other geniuses in the True Immortal realm who surpass him?"
Luo Qianqiu appeared momentarily surprised, then shook his head, replying, "To my knowledge, Lu Hongyu has been the Lu Clan's foremost genius for centuries. It's highly unlikely there's another True Immortal with more remarkable talents than his."
This response set off alarms in Peter's mind, heightening his wariness of the Lu Clan. His instincts suggested that the enigmatic youth, ostensibly an eighth-grade True Immortal, was likely even more formidable than Lu Hongyu, the ninth-grade True Immortal.
The existence of such a prodigy, unknown even to Luo Qianqiu, the head of the Luo Water Merchant Alliance, suggested two possibilities: either the Lu family had kept him well-concealed, or the mysterious young man was not a member of the Lu family at all.
...
Meanwhile, as Peter and his companions observed the Lu family, they too caught the attention of the Lu family members.
"Patriarch, the young man in black standing beside Luo Qianqiu is the ascendant known as Peter Parker," reported Lu He, eyeing Peter with a dark look.
Lu Tianxing, the Lu family patriarch, scrutinized Peter and expressed his skepticism, "Are you certain that this young man ascended to the Immortal World from the lower realms just two months ago?"
In a mere two months, he had risen from a lower realm universe to a False True Immortal and then made a breakthrough to the Sixth Stage True Immortal Realm.
The feat seemed almost too incredible to believe.
"It's the absolute truth," Lu He declared with a grave tone. "As a False True Immortal, this young man eliminated a Rank Three True Immortal from our Lu family. When he was merely a Rank Four True Immortal, he overpowered a Rank Nine True Immortal from the Luoshui Merchant Union. Now, he possesses the power of a Rank Six True Immortal. His talent is, without a doubt, extraordinary!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing, the other two Golden Immortals, and the four young prodigies showed a flicker of concern in their expressions.
If he could defeat a ninth-grade True Immortal while only a fourth-grade, what level of fearsome might would he possess now that he's attained the sixth-grade True Immortal realm?
"This youngster is excessively formidable. If he cannot be swayed to serve the Lu family, we cannot allow him to live," Lu Tianxing declared, his eyes glinting with a chilling intent to kill. "During our venture into the Great Luo Secret Realm, make sure he remains there permanently."
In just two months, his ascent from a False True Immortal to a Rank Six True Immortal was nothing short of astonishing!
His prowess was even more remarkable than the most exceptional geniuses of the Great Luo!
Given his proximity to the Luo Water Merchant Union, should he continue to grow, the Lu family's standing in the Heavenly Water Immortal City would be severely jeopardized.
"Fret not, Patriarch. He may be a Rank Six True Immortal," Lu Hongyu said with a scornful glance at Peter Parker, exuding confidence, "but I assure you, he will not leave the Great Luo Secret Realm alive."
Peter Parker's talent might be formidable, but Lu Hongyu was no slouch either.
Had they been on equal footing, he might have felt some trepidation.
However, being three grades above Peter Parker, Lu Hongyu was convinced that eliminating him would be effortless.
"Do not underestimate him," cautioned Lu Tianxing with gravity. "Though the boy is only at the level of a sixth-grade True Immortal, his combat prowess could very well match or even surpass your own."
He then turned to the stoic, black-robed youth standing beside Lu Hongyu and, with a courteous demeanor, added, "Young Master Wan, should Hongyu or the others face any difficulties, I trust in your generosity to assist them."
Young Master Wan's expression was icy as he assured, "Don't worry, I'm after a spot in your Lu family's Great Luo Secret Realm. It's only natural that I'll keep the Wan family disciples safe."
"Thank you, Young Master Wan," came the grateful reply.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Young Master Wan was a prodigy from the Azure Cloud Immortal Manor of the Great Luo. Despite his cultivation level being that of an eighth-rank True Immortal, his combat prowess far exceeded Lu Hongyu's, capable of taking on an ordinary Second Rank True Immortal with ease.
With Young Master Wan's support, even someone as formidable as Peter Parker wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Suddenly, as Peter Parker and his companions focused intently on the battle, a disturbance rippled through the sky. A beam of light! An immortal boat, ablaze with radiance, sliced through the heavens, materializing about three thousand meters from the Heaven Gate in a mere moment.
Atop the boat stood several majestic figures.
The foremost was a middle-aged man, clad in a resplendent brocade robe. The aura of a Golden Immortal that he exuded was overwhelmingly potent, dwarfing that of any other Golden Immortal in the vicinity.
Peter Parker squinted at the sight.
The He Family from Long River Immortal City had arrived at last!
