World's Strongest Martial Warrior

In the tranquility of his room, Peter Parker cast a few basic protective spells before stepping into the Tower of Time. With a deft motion, he retrieved the drop of Thoughtless Immortal Dew that Liu Wucheng had bestowed upon him.    

The Thoughtless Immortal Dew, a signature elixir of the Nameless Immortal Palace, was a coveted treasure for those in the Golden Immortal Realm, far surpassing the value of the Tree Fairy Fruit he had consumed in the Great Luo Secret Realm.    

Confident that a single drop of this nectar would suffice to elevate him from a half-step Heaven Immortal to a full-fledged first-grade Heaven Immortal, Peter Parker uncorked the jade bottle and ingested the Thoughtless Immortal Dew without a second thought.    

As the elixir descended, it transformed into a soothing warmth that coursed through his body, invigorating every fiber of his being.    

In that instant, Peter Parker was enveloped in a profound emptiness, his cultivation speed skyrocketing to over a hundredfold. The True Immortal energy within surged wildly, metamorphosing into the mighty essence of a Heavenly Immortal.    

Time lost all meaning as the True Immortal power within him fully transmuted into the Celestial Immortal force.    

Yet, even after achieving the power of a Heavenly Immortal, the enigmatic state persisted, his cultivation base continuing its meteoric ascent.    

It was only when Peter Parker's cultivation peaked at the summit of First Grade Heavenly Immortal that he emerged from this extraordinary trance.    

Simultaneously, the system's gratifying notification chimed in his mind:    

"Ding! By consuming a drop of Thoughtless Immortal Dew, you have experienced enlightenment a hundredfold. Your cultivation base has seen a remarkable enhancement."    

"Ding! Your cultivation base has ascended to the pinnacle of First Grade Heavenly Immortal!"    

In a single bound, the Thoughtless Immortal Dew had not only facilitated his breakthrough to the first-grade Heavenly Immortal Realm but had also propelled him to its zenith.    

"Indeed, the Thoughtless Immortal Dew is an unparalleled gem of immortality."    

Peter Parker's eyes snapped open, a barely concealed shock flickering across his gaze. A few dozen drops of Thoughtless Immortal Dew, he mused, could make ascending to the Golden Immortal Realm seem like child's play. Yet, that was merely wishful thinking.    

The staggering cost of a single drop of Thoughtless Immortal Dew was five thousand immortal stones—a sum well beyond his means. With a resigned shake of his head, Peter resolved to focus on his cultivation, aiming to advance to the Second Grade Heaven Immortal realm in one fell swoop.    

"Kid, the nameless immortal meeting is set for tomorrow. If you're not keen on accepting the Great Elder's invitation from the Nameless Immortal Palace, you might want to halt your cultivation," the Immortal Monument's voice suddenly echoed in Peter's mind.    

What? The unexpected message left Peter reeling in disbelief.    

He had consumed the Thoughtless Immortal Dew and entered a state of enlightenment, feeling as though less than half a day had slipped by. How could the nameless immortal meeting already be upon them? Especially considering his location within the Tower of Time, where the outside world's half-month stretched into five months!    

Baffled yet composed, Peter hastily exited the Tower of Time. He considered consulting Luo Wuji next door but decided against it, suspecting Luo might also be immersed in enlightenment with the Thoughtless Immortal Dew. Opting not to disturb him, Peter headed straight for the inn's main hall.    

The hall buzzed with the chatter of many dining guests. Peter found an empty seat and settled in. A radiant waitress, exuding the aura of the True Immortal Realm, approached him with a warm greeting.    

"Sir, what can I get for you?"    

With a graceful gesture, she conjured a light screen in the air before Peter, revealing a menu. The dishes, each with its price clearly listed, were far from modestly priced—the most affordable item cost five immortal stones, while the priciest soared over a hundred.    

Ordinary True Immortals wouldn't stand a chance of affording a place like this. Peter Parker nonchalantly ordered a few dishes that caught his eye before taking in the grandeur of the hall. It was only when he observed the other guests' meals that he grasped the uniqueness of the cuisine. The ingredients were comprised of rare natural elements and the specially prepared meat of immortal beasts, offering immense benefits even to most Heaven Immortals.    

Before long, Peter Parker's wine was brought to his table. Without a word, he began savoring the exquisite dishes laid out before him.    

"Brother Luo, tomorrow marks the annual Nameless Immortal Gathering at the Nameless Immortal Palace. You're planning to attend, aren't you?" one guest inquired.    

"Indeed, I'll be there," Brother Luo confirmed. "Securing a spot in the top ten brings substantial rewards. And if I manage to place in the top three, I'll earn the right to join the Nameless Immortal Palace. For independent cultivators like us, this opportunity is golden."    

"In that case, let me offer my congratulations in advance, Brother Luo. With your talent and prowess, reaching the top three should be a breeze, right?"    

Peter Parker, overhearing the conversation, glanced towards the source of the chatter. A group of three or four young men were seated nearby, indulging in the delectable fare as they conversed in hushed tones. Each was remarkably talented and strong, with cultivation levels at or above the seventh-grade True Immortal realm. Luo, in particular, had achieved the ninth-grade True Immortal realm, his abilities likely rivaling those of Lu Hongyu from the Lu family of Sky Water Immortal City.    

"Hard to believe half a month has already flown by," Peter Parker mused internally with a wry smile upon hearing the young men's exchange.    

"Ah, it's not as simple as it seems," Luo sighed. "In the past, I would have been confident about making the top three at the Nameless Immortal Gathering."    

"It's rumored that this year's gathering is open to anyone under a thousand years old," Luo added, reflecting on the upcoming challenge.    

"Indeed, historically, the Nameless Immortal Gathering at the Nameless Immortal Palace was exclusively open to rogue cultivators who hadn't aligned themselves with any factions. It's curious that they've lifted the restrictions this time. I'm aware that Wan Xinghan, the prodigious disciple from Cangyun Immortal Estate, is present at the Nameless Immortal Palace."    

Another young man chimed in, his face etched with confusion.    

The youth named Luo offered a wry smile and added, "It's not only Wan Xinghan from the Vast Cloud Immortal Palace, but Yu Sichen from the Jade Toad Immortal Sect is rumored to be attending the Nameless Immortal Gathering as well. This event is shaping up to be a formidable clash akin to a battle between two tigers and a dragon."    

Peter Parker's expression turned curious upon overhearing the conversation.    

The Nameless Immortal Palace's rationale for organizing the Nameless Immortal Gathering was to scout for new talent, which is why they traditionally barred the participation of geniuses affiliated with the major powers of Cangyun State.    

The fact that these restrictions have been lifted this time suggests that there's more to the situation than meets the eye.
