C2905 CHAPTER2905
Mu Ziqian's demeanor turned serious upon hearing Peter Parker inquire about the situation.
The Northern Chill Immortal Domain has experienced a dramatic shift. A mysterious force, originating from an unknown source, swept through the domain in a single night.
This enigmatic power is known as the Desolate Devil Palace.
Not even the Northern Chill Immortal Palace, the sole immortal king stronghold in the domain, could quell the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace's advance.
The Desolate Ancient Devil Palace has now conquered many provinces within the Northern Chill Immortal Domain, rivaling its power.
Chaos has engulfed all but a few central provinces of the Northern Chill Immortal Domain.
The 18 branch palaces of the Nameless Immortal Palace have suffered substantial losses.
Mu Ziqian has resolved to temporarily retreat the branch palaces to the main hall to address the dire developments in the Northern Chill Immortal Domain.
Peter Parker's brow creased in concern.
He had not anticipated such a vast upheaval in the Northern Chill Immortal Domain during his absence.
Despite its remote location and relative weakness within the Immortal World, the Northern Chill Immortal Domain was protected by an Immortal King force and a genuine Immortal King expert.
This revelation implied that the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace, a mysterious entity that had emerged in the domain, also possessed an Immortal King Realm expert.
What could bring an Immortal King Realm power to the Northern Chill Immortal Domain so unexpectedly?
"I never imagined the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace would emerge in the Immortal World so soon. It seems chaos is on the horizon."
The Immortal Monument Spirit's resonant voice filled Peter Parker's mind at that moment.
Startled, Peter Parker responded, "Senior, you're familiar with the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace?"
"The Ancient Devil Palace is a cryptic force, its origins unknown to all. It may even hail from beyond the Immortal World. Its formidable strength is a harbinger of the looming catastrophe in the Immortal World."
"Now that there are no Immortal Sovereigns in the Immortal World, it seems to be closely linked with the Desolate Devil Palace."
"I'm starting to suspect that the fall of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, back when it reigned over the Immortal World, might have been connected to the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace!"
The immortal tablet spirit declared, his voice laden with gravity.
Upon hearing this revelation, Peter Parker was struck with a profound sense of shock.
He had never imagined that the so-called Ancient Devil Palace could have such a fearsome background!
"Senior, that can't be. The Heavenly Emperor Palace was obliterated in a single night within the Immortal World. If the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace truly wielded such might, wouldn't it have taken over and become the ruler of the entire Immortal World by now?"
Peter Parker managed to stifle the astonishment swelling in his chest, voicing his incredulity.
"Nothing is beyond the realm of possibility. During my pursuit of Lord Green Emperor... I delved into some aspects of the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace with him. Even when the Heavenly Emperor Palace dominated the Immortal World, the influence of the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace was subtly present."
The immortal tablet spirit inhaled deeply before continuing, "Let's leave this topic for later. For now, why don't you acquaint yourself with the current state of the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace in the Northern Frost Immortal Domain?"
With that, Peter Parker refrained from further questioning and looked up at Mu Ziqian. "Vice Hall Master Mu, what's the latest from the Cangyun Continent?"
"I'm in the dark as well."
Mu Ziqian shook his head, adding, "I've dispatched orders for the Cangyun State's branch hall to report back to the main hall, but there's been radio silence ever since."
A sense of foreboding crept into Peter Parker's heart.
If Mu Ziqian was out of the loop regarding the Cangyun State's Nameless Immortal Palace's branch, it could only mean that something unexpected had transpired there.
It had been decades since Peter Parker had departed from the Cangyun Province.
His loved ones in the lower realms universe would likely have followed his trail and ascended to the Immortal World from there. Given their limited abilities, they would be vulnerable upon arrival in the Immortal World. He needed to make haste back to Cangyun Prefecture to uncover the truth of the matter.
"Vice Hall Master Mu, I'm off to Cangyun State. Farewell!"
With those final words, Peter Parker's form shattered the air, vanishing from Mu Ziqian and the others' sight in an instant.
In the Northern Chill Immortal Region of Cangyun State, within the bustling Sky Water Immortal City, the Luo Water Merchant Union's prominence had soared ever since Peter Parker's arrival. His visit to the Nameless Immortal Palace had elevated him to the status of an esteemed guest. The Palace even dispatched an expert to assist the Luo Water Merchant Union in toppling the Lu Family.
Following their absorption of the Lu Family, the Luo Water Merchant Union emerged as the preeminent force in Sky Water Immortal City. Bolstered by the Nameless Immortal Palace's backing, the Union's growth was meteoric. It nurtured several Golden Immortal experts, including Luo Wuji, and Luo Qianqiu's cultivation leaped to the Ninth Grade Golden Immortal level in a single bound.
The Luo River Merchant Union now stood among the most formidable Golden Immortal powers across the myriad cities of the Cangyun Continent.
Inside the meeting hall of the Luo Water Merchant Union, the leadership, spearheaded by Luo Qianqiu and Luo Wuji, convened in a grave assembly.
Should Peter Parker have been present, he would have recognized a familiar face among them—Wu Xing, the erstwhile sovereign of the God Domain. Wu Xing, a legend in the Divine Realm, possessed innate brilliance. With the restoration of the Realm of the Gods, he swiftly reclaimed his former glory. Surpassing his previous limits, he ascended in the wake of Peter Parker, entering the Immortal World.
Thanks to Peter Parker's foresight, Wu Xing swiftly integrated with the Luo Water Merchant Union upon his arrival in the Immortal World. With their unwavering support, Wu Xing's exceptional abilities shone through. In mere decades, he advanced from a nascent true immortal to a first-grade Heaven Immortal, his power surging at an astonishing rate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've received word that the Ancient Devil Palace has dispatched forces to Cangyun State. Reports indicate that the Cangyun Immortal Mansion has fallen. I fear our city is on the brink of an unprecedented crisis..."
After what felt like an eternity, Luo Qianqiu pierced the heavy silence that had enveloped the hall.
As Luo Qianqiu's words hung in the air, a visible wave of concern washed over the faces of those present.
The Ancient Devil Palace – a name that struck fear into the hearts of even the stalwart Northern Chill Immortal Palace.
With the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace now laying claim to the Azure Cloud Prefecture and having effortlessly subdued the Great Luo, the question loomed: Who in the Azure Cloud Prefecture could possibly stand against them?
"Alliance Master, the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace's approach is both swift and fierce. Resistance seems futile. We mustn't delay any further. It's imperative that we evacuate the Cangyun Continent at once," urged an elder from the Luo River Merchant Alliance, his voice tinged with panic.
Evacuate Cangyun State?
A bitter chuckle escaped Luo Qianqiu's lips.
The Desolate Ancient Devil Palace had already ravaged the Northern Chill Immortal Domain, leaving even its formidable Immortal Palace in disarray.
The harsh reality was that...
Safe havens were scarce across the eighteen territories of the Northern Frost Immortal Realm. Where could their modest Luo River Merchant Union possibly seek refuge?
