C2696 CHAPTER2696
Witnessing the fourth-tier Heaven Immortal from the Yellow Dragon Immortal Pavilion fall to Peter Parker in a single blow, Chu Lingyun's typically stoic face betrayed a look of astonishment.
Her own prowess as a first-grade Heaven Immortal allowed her to dispatch a fourth-grade Heaven Immortal with ease.
Such a feat was likely within the reach of only the most exceptional prodigies of the Great Luo faction.
Could it be...
Was this enigmatic youth clad in black one of the elite talents from a Great Luo faction?
The thought sparked a glimmer of hope in Chu Lingyun's expressive eyes.
She quickly bowed to Peter Parker. "Young Master, you must be a prodigy of the Great Luo. I implore you to save the Profound Medical Immortal Sect. Lingyun is prepared to serve you loyally in gratitude."
The Great Luo was home to innumerable Golden Immortals.
With the aid of just one Golden Immortal, the crisis facing the Profound Medical Immortal Sect would be easily resolved.
"I don't possess the prowess of a Golden Immortal. Please, rise," Peter Parker said, extending his hand in a gesture that effortlessly lifted Chu Lingyun to her feet.
After a moment's contemplation, he inquired, "Tell me about the Profound Medical Immortal Sect. You carry the lineage of a Longevity Immortal King. What brings you to this modest Profound Medical Immortal Sect?"
Given Chu Lingyun's heritage, she was undoubtedly among the elite in both the Great Luo and the Immortal King ranks.
Peter Parker was puzzled as to why Chu Lingyun would remain in the Profound Medical Immortal Sect, which lacked even a single Golden Immortal.
"It's quite a tale..."
Chu Lingyun was forthright with Peter Parker, sharing all she knew.
Long ago, the Longevity Immortal King reigned over the entire Immortal World, founding the Longevity Immortal Domain—one of its mightiest realms.
Subsequently...
A cataclysmic conflict shattered the Longevity Immortal Domain, and the Longevity Immortal King vanished without a trace.
Chu Lingyun's ancestor, a scion of the Longevity Immortal King, was still young amidst the turmoil in the Longevity Immortal Realm. Seizing the moment, a servant of the Longevity Immortal Palace fled with the child to safety.
After navigating through a series of challenges, a servant led Chu Lingyun's ancestor to the Northern Frost Immortal Realm, where they established the modest Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect.
However, despite being a descendant of the Longevity Immortal King, Chu Lingyun's ancestor lacked the King's inheritance. He was unable to awaken the Longevity Immortal King's bloodline, and his innate abilities were quite unremarkable. For years, the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect had been passed down within the Northern Frost Immortal Region without producing a single expert at the Golden Immortal Realm level.
That changed three years ago when Chu Lingyun, who had never before practiced cultivation, astonishingly awoke the Longevity Immortal King Bloodline. In a mere three years, she progressed from a mortal to an expert in the True Immortal Realm. Given another eight to ten years, reaching the Golden Immortal Realm would likely pose little challenge for her.
However, the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, long at odds with the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect, was not about to let Chu Lingyun's potential go unchecked. Upon discovering that a prodigy like Chu Lingyun had emerged within their rival sect, they intensified their opposition.
Over the past three years, the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect had consistently targeted the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect. Despite these efforts, the two sects were evenly matched in strength, preventing the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect from gaining any significant advantage.
Recently, the tide turned when Huang Tianhua, the Sect Master of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, advanced to the ninth-grade Heaven Immortal realm and ascended into the Golden Immortal realm. This breakthrough disrupted the balance of power between the two sects.
Under the relentless assault from the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect was compelled to retreat. They had no option but to release their elite disciples, hoping to conserve their forces and await an opportunity for resurgence.
"Miss Chu, are you suggesting that many from the Longevity Immortal Sect still reside within the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect?" Peter Parker inquired, his eyes sharpening upon hearing Chu Lingyun's account.
Chu Lingyun quickly affirmed, "Indeed, there are numerous members of my clan within the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect, including my father, who remains there."
When Peter Parker heard this news, a slight frown creased his brow. He was indebted to the Longevity Immortal King, and the thought of abandoning members of the King's faction within the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect was unthinkable to him. Yet, he faced a daunting challenge.
A formidable adversary from the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect had ascended to the Golden Immortal Realm. Peter knew that with his current abilities, even if this opponent had not fully attained the First Grade Golden Immortal Realm and was only at the half-step stage, he was still out of Peter's league.
Directly intervening in the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect's affairs would not only fail to rescue those of the Longevity Immortal King's lineage but would also ensnare him in a perilous situation.
"If Young Master finds this too challenging, perhaps it's best to let it go," Chu Lingyun suggested gently, breaking the silence. She had assumed Peter was a prodigy from a prominent Great Luo faction, backed by a powerful expert who could easily aid the Profound Medical Immortal Sect in overcoming the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect.
However, without such support, Peter's exceptional talent alone wouldn't be enough to take down the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. Despite her desire to save her kin, she couldn't bear the thought of Peter risking his life in vain.
"Don't worry," Peter reassured her, a determined glint in his eyes. "My bond with the Longevity Immortal King runs deep. I can't ignore his people when they're in need." He spoke with a quiet intensity, "We'll wait here for the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect's envoys to arrive."
Given his current power level, rushing to aid the Profound Medical Immortal Sect was clearly unwise. Chu Lingyun posed a significant threat to the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, who would never permit her to slip away and grow stronger. Having already eliminated a Fourth Grade Heaven Immortal from their ranks, Peter anticipated that the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect would dispatch reinforcements posthaste.
Furthermore, it was unlikely that the sect would immediately send their elite forces. The arrival of a Seventh Grade Heaven Immortal would be a formidable response in itself.
Should the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect dare to dispatch a seventh-grade Celestial Immortal or anyone of a lesser rank, he would ensure their demise. This strategy would not only diminish the power of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect but also alleviate some of the burden on the Mystic Medicine Immortal Sect. He waited in silence.
Before long, three first-grade Heavenly Immortals, tracking the essence of a fourth-tier Heavenly Immortal, materialized before Peter Parker and his companions. The remnants of the fourth-grade Heaven Immortal's presence in the air caused their faces to contort with shock. Disbelief glinted in their eyes as they gazed upon Peter Parker. He was dead! This was beyond their wildest expectations.
The fourth-tier Celestial Immortal who had preceded them had met his end in this very spot, his existence extinguished without a trace. On their approach, they had detected no signs of a significant battle having taken place. In other words, the fourth-grade Celestial Immortal had been overpowered without the slightest opportunity to fight back. How could this be?
The black-robed young man before them was merely a first-grade Heaven Immortal. How could he wield such fearsome battle prowess?
