Effortlessly dispatching Lu Feng's soul, Peter Parker disappeared in an instant. With Lu Feng's demise, any chance of reconciliation with the Lu family was lost. Despite being a minor force in the Azure Cloud Prefecture and even less significant in the Northern Frost Immortal Domain, the Lu Family still boasted a Golden Immortal among their ranks. Facing such power, Peter was outmatched; even a high-rank True Immortal from the Lu Family would be too much for him to handle.
The urgency to find a safe haven for cultivation and to bolster his strength was paramount. Peter had already converted ninety percent of the Immortal Essence within him and was on the cusp of advancing from the False True Immortal level to the True Immortal level. Achieving this breakthrough would allow him to harness the energy from Lu Feng's Rank Three True Immortal crystals, potentially catapulting him directly to the Rank Two True Immortal realm.
At present, Peter's combat abilities were on par with a Rank Four True Immortal. Ascending to the Rank Two True Immortal Realm would enable him to contend with beings as powerful as Rank Six or even Rank Seven True Immortals. Given his current status as a nascent False True Immortal in the Immortal World, it was unlikely the Lu family would dispatch their most formidable Golden and Heaven Immortals to deal with him. The most probable scenario would involve a high-rank True Immortal.
Should Peter advance to Rank Two or even Rank Three True Immortal, the Lu family's high-rank True Immortals would pose no significant threat. After leaving the site of Lu Feng's demise, he soared for four hours before alighting in a desolate mountain range. There, he discovered a secluded cave and promptly commenced a period of intensive cultivation in solitude.
One day later, Peter Parker channeled the last vestige of energy in his body into Immortal Yuan.
"Ding! Your Immortal Energy conversion is complete. Congratulations, you've successfully advanced to the First Stage of the True Immortal Realm."
Upon hearing the system's notification echo in his mind, Peter couldn't resist opening his eyes. With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved Lu Feng's Immortal Crystals, ready to harness their energy to further amplify his strength.
"Kid, with your breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm, you should give the Tower of Time a whirl. It's bound to make your cultivation efforts doubly effective."
Just then, the voice of the Immortal Monument resonated within Peter's thoughts.
"Oh, I'd completely forgotten about that," Peter murmured to himself. With a casual twist of his hand, the Tower of Time materialized in his palm.
Gazing at the Tower of Time, he inquired inwardly, "Senior, what's the purpose of this Tower of Time?"
"The Tower of Time is a marvel that harnesses countless seconds. Its primary function is to expedite cultivation. Simply activate it and step inside."
Without a moment's hesitation, Peter infused the Tower of Time with his Immortal Yuan.
Instantaneously, a mysterious light erupted from the Tower, enveloping him.
In the blink of an eye, Peter found himself within the spatial confines of the Tower of Time.
Almost immediately, information materialized in his mind. The Tower of Time consisted of seven levels; he was currently on the first floor, where time flowed at a rate ten times faster than the outside world.
To put it simply, a single day outside equated to ten days within the Tower. Cultivating here meant accelerating progress tenfold compared to the outside world. In essence, the Tower of Time was akin to his system's hundredfold experience boost—a veritable shortcut in the world of cultivation.
Yet, this was merely the Tower's first level. The flow of time on the subsequent floors was even more astoundingly swift.
However, access to the second level demanded a cultivation base at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, a threshold beyond Peter's current capabilities. For now, he could only utilize the first floor of the Tower of Time.
In that moment, Peter Parker came to realize why Ling Potian, the esteemed forebear of the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect, had risen to such prominence that even a formidable entity like the Jade Cloud Immortal Palace viewed him with trepidation. The Tower of Time indeed possessed extraordinary capabilities.
Taking a deep breath, Peter felt content with his ability to access only the first level of the Tower of Time, which offered a tenfold acceleration of time. Coupled with the system's hundredfold experience boost, his strength was set to soar to astounding heights.
"First, I'll harness the power of the immortal crystals to enhance my strength," Peter murmured to himself. Settling into a meditative state on the Tower's first floor, he began to channel the energy of the immortal crystals into his being.
"Ding! You have absorbed the power of a Grade Three True Immortal Crystal. You've gained 300 times 100 immortal crystals."
"Ding! You have absorbed the power of a Grade Three True Immortal Crystal. You've gained 300 times 100 Immortal Essence."
...
Peter persisted in this manner, drawing upon the Immortal Crystals' power, his body's Immortal Essence swelling at an alarming rate. In under half a month, he had assimilated half of the energy contained within the crystals.
His cultivation base soared from the early stages of the First Grade True Immortal realm to its peak, leaving him on the cusp of ascending to the Second Stage True Immortal realm.
After a few more days, a gratifying alert from the system echoed in his mind: "Ding! You have successfully advanced to the Second Stage True Immortal Realm!"
Leveraging the power of a Third Stage True Immortal Crystal, Peter achieved this breakthrough within roughly twenty days inside the Tower of Time, which equated to a mere two days in the outside world. Such rapid progression from the First to the Second Stage True Immortal realm was unheard of across the entire Immortal World.
Undeterred by his recent advancement, Peter continued his relentless cultivation, drawing every last ounce of energy from the immortal crystals.
Days later, he had completely absorbed the essence of the immortal crystals, his power reaching new, uncharted heights.
After channeling the energy from the immortal crystals, Peter Parker felt no rush to exit the Tower of Time and pursue further cultivation. Time flew by, and before he knew it, three months had slipped away. During this period, Peter's cultivation base had advanced from the Second Grade True Immortal realm to the Third Grade True Immortal realm. Remarkably, in the outside world, less than ten days had elapsed.
In under two weeks, Peter had ascended from the nascent True Immortal realm to the Third Stage True Immortal realm. "With my current strength, handling a Sixth Stage True Immortal poses no issue," he mused to himself. "And if I play all my cards right, I might even be able to hold my own against a Seventh Stage True Immortal. I've certainly gained enough power to defend myself in this Immortal World."
Opening his eyes, Peter whispered these thoughts quietly to himself. The amount of Immortal Energy needed to elevate one's cultivation by a single level could be multiple times greater, sometimes even tenfold. Even with the Tower of Time accelerating his progress tenfold, advancing to the Fourth Stage from the Third could take several months.
With that in mind, it was clear that Peter had no intention of remaining in the Tower of Time to cultivate. He was set on venturing out to gather intelligence on the Immortal World and strategize accordingly. Resolved, Peter rose to his feet and, in an instant, vanished from the first floor of the Tower of Time.
