Peter Parker only snapped out of his astonishment when the notification echoed in his mind. He had never imagined that the Immortal Art the old man had sold him for ten thousand immortal stones would turn out to be an incomplete Emperor Grade Immortal Art. Moreover, it was a monarch-grade immortal art, aptly named after the Celestial Seal. What a formidable technique it must be!
"Senior Immortal Monument, have you ever heard of an immortal technique known as the Heavenly Emperor Seal?" Peter Parker inquired, taking a deep breath to quell the surprise that threatened to overwhelm him.
"The Heavenly Emperor Seal? Why do you ask about that all of a sudden?" The Immortal Tablet responded, its tone betraying a hint of astonishment. It quickly put two and two together and blurted out, "You don't mean to say that the ancient book the old man sold you is the Heavenly Emperor Seal, do you?"
"I just tried to decipher it, and it appears to be the Heavenly Emperor Seal, albeit incomplete," Peter Parker replied with a beaming smile.
The Immortal Monument was momentarily at a loss for words. This young man was an enigma, defying all logic. As a mere fourth-grade Heaven Immortal, he had managed to grasp the essence of a supreme Immortal Art like the Heavenly Emperor Seal.
"I have some knowledge of the Heavenly Emperor Seal," the Immortal Tablet finally spoke. "In an age long past in the Immortal World, there emerged a matchless Immortal Emperor known as the Heavenly Emperor. His reign in the Immortal World was incredibly extensive. Even in ancient times, when I was still part of the Immortal World, he was already a legend."
"The Heavenly Emperor's existence spanned an unparalleled length of time. He once dominated an entire era and remains the only unparalleled figure in the history of the Immortal World to have unified it. The Heavenly Emperor Seal was a supreme immortal technique of his own creation."
After a brief pause, the Immortal Tablet's voice faded to a whisper. Peter Parker couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath. While he had suspected the Heavenly Emperor Seal to be extraordinary, he hadn't anticipated such a remarkable legacy.
"What could the origins of that old man be?" Peter Parker mused with a wry smile. If his hunch was correct, the old man likely knew the true nature of the ancient book as the Heavenly Emperor Seal, yet he still parted with it for a mere ten thousand immortal stones.
The Heavenly Emperor Seal, a technique without equal, made ten thousand immortal stones seem like pocket change in comparison. Peter Parker was baffled as to why the old man would part with it for such a sum. Could it be, as Chu Lingyun suggested, that the old man sought him out to bestow the Heavenly Emperor Seal upon him?
"Kid, you're marked by an extraordinary destiny. If not, Emperor Xu Qing wouldn't have selected you. That venerable man is a towering figure at the pinnacle of the Immortal Dimension, and he definitely saw something special in you."
"There are mysteries you needn't unravel just yet. When the time is right, you'll come to understand."
"The Allheaven Genius is already on our doorstep. Perhaps you should focus on the immediate challenge, don't you think?"
The Immortal Stele's voice echoed again at that moment. Startled, Peter Parker quickly tuned in and, with a casual gesture, swung the door open. A soft voice filled the air.
"You seem quite eager. You've arrived sooner than I anticipated. Since you're here, why lurk in the shadows? Come out and show yourself."
With a hum, the space at the doorway quivered, and following Peter Parker's invitation, two figures emerged from the void. It was Yu Yi Xian, who had previously vied with him for the ancient book, and the Golden Immortal expert accompanying him.
Yu Yi Xian stepped into the room, eyeing Peter Parker with a hint of surprise. "Impressive. You've got nerve, staying so composed even though you knew I was on my way."
Peter Parker responded coolly, "You've come for the ancient book?"
"Clearly, you grasp my purpose. Hand over the ancient book," Yu Yi Xian said, cutting to the chase. "That artifact is beyond your grasp."
A chill smile crossed Peter Parker's lips. "I'm not entitled to it, you say? And you, Yu Yi Xian, you believe you are?"
"It appears you won't face reality until it's too late," Yu Yi Xian retorted, shaking his head with impatience. "I'm not in the mood for games. Give me the ancient book, and perhaps I'll spare your life."
Peter Parker's lips curled into a slight smile. "What if... I say no?"
Yu Yi Xian's expression turned icy, and a chilling murderous intent flashed in her eyes. "I've already given you a chance. Since you're bent on courting death, don't blame me for my lack of courtesy!"
Peter Parker shot Yu Yi Xian a look of disdain. "If you can't handle it, perhaps the old man beside you can."
"Is that so?" Yu Yi Xian's face grew even colder at Peter Parker's condescension.
"Since you're brimming with confidence, let's make a wager. We'll have a fair fight. If you win, I'll leave immediately. But if I win, you'll hand over the ancient book. How does that sound?"
Peter Parker responded with a nonchalant smile. "If that intrigues you, then I'm game."
"I'll be waiting for you in the void!" Yu Yi Xian declared, her form ascending swiftly into the sky before her words even dissipated.
"Wait for me in the room; I'll be back shortly," Peter Parker told Chu Lingyun. In a blink, he soared into the void, positioning himself across from Yu Yi Xian.
"Let's not waste time. Make your move," Yu Yi Xian challenged, snapping open her folding fan to release the energy of a Second Grade Heaven Immortal. "I'm curious to see what makes you bold enough to be so arrogant before me."
"Hehe... Merely the power of a Second Grade Heaven Immortal? That's insignificant to me," Peter Parker said with a faint smile. Suddenly, the overwhelming presence of a Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortal burst forth, unrestrained.
Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortal!
What...? How could this be?
Yu Yi Xian took a moment to regain her composure, utterly taken aback by the revelation. She hadn't anticipated this at all. The young man in black, appearing no older than herself, possessed a cultivation two levels above her own—a prodigy of the Great Luo, having achieved the Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortal realm!
"I've underestimated you. I never thought you'd possess the cultivation of a Fourth Stage Heavenly Immortal," Yu Yi Xian admitted, sneering at Peter Parker. "But what of it? Even with the power of a Fourth Grade Heavenly Immortal, defeating you will be child's play for me."
Possessing a high level of cultivation didn't necessarily equate to formidable combat prowess. This was particularly evident among many prodigies, who often had the ability to leapfrog over their peers in battle.
Despite being at the Second Grade of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his lineage was from the prestigious Allheaven Clan. He not only inherited the potent Allheaven bloodline but also their ancestral knowledge and the coveted Origin Immortal Artifact.
With his full power unleashed, he could effortlessly vanquish a sixth-grade Heaven Immortal. He might even go toe-to-toe with a seventh-grade Heaven Immortal.
Facing an opponent with a fourth-grade Heavenly Immortal cultivation, Immortal Yu Yi harbored no doubts about his own victory.
