Peter Parker couldn't shake off a sense of helplessness as the scene unfolded before him. With his Nine Li Combat Physique, he had the power to confront an ordinary Taiyi Immortal Venerable directly, provided he wielded the Heavenly Emperor Seal. Yet, when he unleashed his force on Lu Changqing's clone, it was like swatting at air—ineffective and almost laughable.
His current strength was nowhere near enough to penetrate the defenses of Lu Changqing's clone. "You possess a fair number of ace cards," the clone remarked. "Should you advance to the Taiyi Realm, you might actually become a threat. But as it stands, your cultivation is far too feeble."
Shaking his head, Lu Changqing's clone continued with a detached tone, "Even as a descendant of the Nine Li Immortal King, you cannot expect to mistreat and disgrace the Chang Qing Immortal Palace. You will accompany me back there."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he reached out to seize Peter Parker. This audacious youth had stormed the Chang Qing Immortal Palace, pillaging it mercilessly. Regardless of his noble lineage, Lu Changqing's clone was determined to apprehend him and reclaim all that was rightfully theirs. Failure to do so would mean the Evergreen Immortal Palace would face significant vitality losses.
Buzz! The clone's grasp appeared serene, yet an invisible force swiftly compressed the space around Peter Parker, rendering him immobile, even in his Nine Li Combat Body state.
"Facing a Primordial Chaos expert like Lu Changqing, my current strength is insufficient. It seems I have no choice but to use that particular item to escape the Longevity Immortal Domain," Peter Parker murmured to himself, recognizing the might of Lu Changqing's technique.
"Senior Chasing Sun, make haste back to the Cloud Sky Sect and lead them against the Evergreen Immortal Palace. Await my return," he transmitted covertly to Chasing Sun Immortal Venerable. With a mere thought, an ancient token inscribed with the character 'Xuan' materialized in his palm. This token, a gift from a senior of the Heavenly Profound Palace—one of the thirty-six palaces of the Heavenly Emperor Palace—was his after exploring the ruins of an ancient Immortal King within an unnamed Immortal Palace.
The token Peter Parker held was akin to the teleportation talisman he had used to reach the Purple Flame Heaven Domain. It granted him the ability to instantly transport himself to the ancient ruins of the Immortal King within the Heavenly Profound Palace.
Confronted by Lu Changqing, the clone of Immortal Supremacy Primordial Chaos, Peter had no other option but to activate the token. He had been informed that once his cultivation base ascended to the Great Luo Realm, he could revisit the site for further investigation. Seizing the moment, Peter decided to return to the Tianxuan Hall ruins for a closer look.
With these thoughts racing through his mind, Peter resolutely used the token. In the blink of an eye, he vanished, shrouded in a mystical immortal light.
"Hmm? A Heavenly Domain Transportation Token?" Lu Changqing's clone watched in disbelief as Peter disappeared. His face contorted with frustration, having not anticipated that Peter would possess such a powerful artifact, capable of transporting him to another Heavenly Domain.
"This fellow has quite a few tricks up his sleeve for self-preservation," remarked Immortal Pursuing Sun, his eyes betraying his surprise at Peter's sudden departure.
He then cast a glance at the visibly upset Lu Changqing but chose not to linger in confrontation. With a single stride, he traversed ten thousand miles and vanished from Lu Changqing's sight.
Lu Changqing, meanwhile, made no move to pursue Venerable Chasing Sun. The Venerable was formidable, and Lu Changqing knew that defeating him would not be a simple task.
The alliance between Changqing Immortal Palace and Past Life Immortal Palace to assault the Longevity Immortal Palace painted a grim picture. Should Lu Changqing find himself impeded by the Immemorial Immortal Palace, the Immortal Palace would struggle to hold its ground against the combined might of the Black and White Immortal Venerables from the Past Life Immortal Palace.
In such a scenario, if the Immortal Palace of Longevity and the Immemorial Immortal Palace were to suffer a swift defeat at the hands of the Longevity Immortal Palace, the already weakened Changqing Immortal Palace would likely face destruction at the hands of the victorious Immortal Palace.
For this reason, Lu Changqing refrained from pursuing the fleeing Sun Chasing Immortal Venerable. The Longevity Immortal Palace, harboring the successor of the Longevity Immortal King, remained the foremost threat. Upon his return, Lu Changqing planned to ally with the Black and White Immortal Venerables to vanquish the Longevity Immortal Palace. Only then would he methodically make his way to the Cloud Sky Sect to confront the Chaos Origin Immortal Venerable.
"I'm sorry, the young man possesses a teleportation token from the Heaven Domain. It seems no one can intercept him unless the Immortal King intervenes," Lu Changqing's clone reported, returning to his side with an apologetic tone.
"It's not your fault," Lu Changqing reassured, dismissing the concern with a wave of his hand. He then addressed the clone, "Remain here to protect the Evergreen Immortal Palace. I must head to the Longevity Immortal Palace and ready myself to unite with the Past Life Immortal Palace for a decisive battle against them!"
The situation at the Longevity Immortal Palace was growing increasingly dire, putting them at a disadvantage. They could no longer afford to hesitate in their dealings with the Longevity Immortal Palace. They were prepared to pay any price to launch an assault and eliminate the heir of the Longevity Immortal Emperor.
...
Upon activating the token, Peter Parker was shrouded in a surge of immortal light, seemingly traversing myriad worlds in a mere moment. After some time, he reemerged in a dark, foreboding forest. The eerie atmosphere, amplified by the sinister, biting winds, evoked the wails of ghosts and wolves, sending shivers down one's spine.
"I have indeed returned to this place," Peter Parker murmured to himself, recognizing the familiar surroundings. He stood before the ancient Immortal King ruins he had once accessed through the unnamed Immortal Palace in the Northern Chill Immortal Domain. This was one of the thirty-six palaces of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, specifically the enigmatic valley housing the remnants of the Heavenly Profound Palace. On his previous visit, Peter Parker had intended to delve into the valley's depths but was thwarted by a surviving ancient underworld immortal from the Heavenly Profound Palace.
The Ancient Underworld Immortal of the Heavenly Profound Palace not only recognized him as the Imperial Prince but also bestowed upon him a token that granted him the ability to teleport back to this very location. Now, having utilized the token to return and armed with a Great Luo cultivation base, he was ready to delve into the mysteries of this place.
Peter Parker took a moment to assess his surroundings and choose his path. With a sense of purpose, he made his way towards the valley's heart.
Before long, Peter Parker stood before the grand hall he had previously visited. He and Xu Ji had thoroughly explored the hall, and Xu Ji had claimed the inheritance of the Great Luo Immortal Venerable. Understanding there was nothing left for him there, Peter Parker had no intention of re-entering the hall.
Lifting his gaze to the valley's inner reaches, he proceeded with caution. Suddenly, a faint spatial disturbance emanated from the void ahead, capturing his attention.
