World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Despite being the least regarded among the divisions of the Nameless Immortal Palace, this sub-palace's standing in Cang Yun Province was on par with that of the Cang Yun Immortal Palace itself. With the Nameless Immortal Palace dispatching a Rank Four Golden Immortal to bolster the Luo Water Merchant Union's defenses, the Lu family's chances of causing trouble were slim. Peter could leave Cangyun State with peace of mind.    

"Peter, with half a year until the Nameless Immortal Palace's grand meeting, why not remain here to cultivate during that time?" Liu Wucheng suggested, his voice taking on a serious tone. "You've got unresolved issues with Wan Xinghan from the Cangyun Immortal Palace. He's brought a Golden Immortal expert here, presumably to confront you."    

A glint appeared in Peter Parker's eyes. "My visit to the Nameless Immortal Palace was actually to access the teleportation formation and depart from Cangyun State. Now that the formation is unusable, I suspect Wan Xinghan's interference."    

"Indeed, he's influenced a Golden Immortal elder from my palace to thwart your departure from Cangyun State," Liu Wucheng confirmed, smiling reassuringly. "But don't worry, Peter. Whatever Wan Xinghan's intentions, he can't harm you within the confines of the Nameless Immortal Palace."    

After a moment's reflection, Peter Parker responded, "Great Elder, I've decided against cultivating here at the palace. Instead, I plan to explore the Northern Frost Immortal Domain for some time. Rest assured, I'll return to aid in the grand meeting of the Nameless Immortal Palace in half a year."    

"Since you're set on this course, I'll go ahead and activate the teleportation formation for you," Liu Wucheng declared, then inquired with a lifted gaze, "May I know your next destination, Peter?"    

Peter Parker took a deep breath and declared, "Let's head to Northern Chill Province."    

The Northern Chill Province was the largest of the eighteen provinces in the Northern Chill Immortal Domain and served as its central hub. Naturally, Peter was eager to explore it.    

Moreover...    

He hoped to gather some intelligence on the Immortal Execution Sword Palace through the Northern Chill Immortal Palace.    

And let's not forget...    

The grand event organized by the Nameless Immortal Palace, set to occur in half a year, would convene in the main hall of the Nameless Immortal Palace within the Northern Chill Region. By heading directly to the Northern Chill Province, Peter would circumvent a great deal of hassle.    

"Alright, I'll activate the transport formation and send you to a branch palace in Northern Chill Province," Liu Wucheng stated gravely. "Peter, as an esteemed guest of the 18th branch palace of the Nameless Immortal Palace, your status can deter the lesser powers. However, do not reveal yourself to the members of other branch palaces to avoid unnecessary complications."    

Peter was momentarily taken aback by Liu Wucheng's cautionary words.    

With a wry smile, Liu Wucheng added, "The 18 subsidiary palaces of the Nameless Immortal Palace may appear united, but the competition for status and resources breeds fierce internal conflict. Should they discover your true identity, I fear they might target you."    

"I'll be vigilant," Peter assured, nodding in understanding.    

The Cangyun State's branch palace was the least influential among the Nameless Immortal Palace's subsidiaries. Should it rise in prominence, it would undoubtedly disrupt the vested interests of the other branches.    

How could they stand by and watch as a prodigy like Peter emerged from the ranks of the Cangyun State's branch palace?    

...    

The night passed without incident.    

Come morning, Peter left a letter with Liu Wucheng to deliver to Luo Wuji. Then, he stepped onto the teleportation formation bound for Northern Chill Province, embarking on the journey alone.    

"Peter, remember that Northern Chill Province is the heart of the Northern Chill Immortal Domain. The Immortal Dao thrives there, and it's a place where formidable talents lie in wait. Exercise extreme caution on your solitary venture to the Northern Chill Province."    

Standing just outside the teleportation formation, Liu Wucheng issued a stern warning. The Northern Chill Province was leagues beyond the Cangyun Continent in terms of power and danger. In Cangyun State, achieving the Golden Immortal state was a mark of rare and formidable strength. Yet, in the Northern Chill State, even a ninth-grade Golden Immortal like himself was merely one among many.    

"Grand Elder, rest assured. I understand," Peter Parker assured him. With that, he disappeared in a flash, bound for Beihan Province.    

Beihan Province was the largest in the Northern Chill Immortal Domain, dwarfing the others by more than tenfold. It was a place where Immortal Kings reigned, and where Great Luo and Golden Immortals were as common as the stars in the sky. The Nameless Immortal Palace itself had a significant presence there, with a main hall that commanded eighteen sub-halls and a branch palace that stood as the foremost among them, wielding immense power.    

...    

Upon arrival at the teleportation platform of the Nameless Immortal Palace's first Sub Palace in Beihan Province, a spatial formation shimmered with the glow of immortal symbols, heralding Peter Parker's entrance. Clad in black, he stepped out, having traveled from Cang Yun Province.    

Four guards, each with a cultivation base that rivaled Luo Wuji's, stood watch around the platform. Peter Parker spared them only a brief glance before making to leave, mindful of Liu Wucheng's advice to keep interactions with the first branch of the Nameless Immortal Palace to a minimum.    

"Wait, you are not from the Nameless Immortal Palace. You will need to pay twenty immortal stones to leave," one guard announced, stepping forward to obstruct Peter's path.    

Peter Parker frowned at the interruption. The first branch's demand for twenty immortal stones from a mere passerby was nothing short of extortionate. Yet, preferring to sidestep any potential conflict, he handed over the requested amount and swiftly exited the first hall of the Nameless Immortal Palace.    

After departing from the first hall of the Nameless Immortal Palace, Peter Parker soared directly toward the northern horizon. Prior to his arrival in Beihan Province, Liu Wucheng had furnished him with a rudimentary map, sparing him the frustration of aimless wandering.    

The map indicated that the nearest city to the first hall of the Nameless Immortal Palace was Gu Yue Immortal City, located to the north. Under the stewardship of the Zenith Heaven faction, Gu Yue Immortal City boasted a teleportation formation that provided direct access to the Northern Chill Immortal Capital. Peter Parker intended to utilize this teleportation formation to reach the Northern Chill Immortal Capital, home to the formidable Immortal King force known as the Northern Chill Immortal Palace.    

Half a day's journey later, an imposing mountain range loomed before Peter Parker, with ominous Immortal Energy pulsating in the skies above. "Is this... a conflict between major powers?" he mused, his gaze sharpening as he assessed the unfolding turmoil ahead.    

The Northern Chill Province, expansive and flourishing, was home to innumerable factions of diverse magnitudes. Beyond the myriad immortal cities, numerous other powers had staked claims on various Blessed and Heavenly Lands. Clearly, a faction within the mountain range was embroiled in a fierce confrontation with a rival group.
