As Peter's strength grew, the Immortal King Corpse Puppet he possessed evolved significantly. Seated motionless, the puppet exuded an energy so potent that it could impose an overwhelming pressure on any ordinary Great Luo Immortal Venerable.
The fact that a Great Luo Immortal Venerable was guiding his carriage spoke volumes of Peter's extraordinary origins. Who would dare challenge someone of such stature?
This absence of disturbance meant that Peter had not stepped out of the Tower of Time for the entire three months, dedicating his time to mastering the Sovereign Immortal Art—a practice spanning generations.
The third level's lack of time acceleration meant that Peter's understanding of the art had only advanced by a fraction—merely one-tenth of the total three months. "I'm really not accustomed to this," he mused inwardly, "especially when the time on the second level felt a hundredfold longer."
Recalling his recent mastery of the Nine Li Combat Physique, which he achieved in mere days thanks to the second level's temporal benefits, Peter couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration. Now, after three months, his grasp of the Emperor Grade Immortal Art was still in its infancy.
To fully comprehend the monarch grade immortal art, the Separation of Worlds, he estimated it would take at least two years.
Peter consulted the map he had obtained from the Jade-Cloud Immortal Palace. "The Longevity Immortal Realm lies south of the Green Bird Mountain Range," he noted. "Having just crossed that range, it appears I've entered the Longevity Immortal Realm's domain."
Despite his deep immersion in the Monarch Grade Immortal Art on the Tower of Time's third floor, Peter remained vigilant, keeping an occasional eye on the world outside.
After three months of travel, Peter Parker had successfully journeyed billions of miles to reach the edge of the Longevity Immortal Domain.
"It's time to venture out. First, I need to find someone to ask about the situation here," Peter thought to himself. Without delay, he emerged from the Tower of Time, stowed the horse carriage and the Immortal King Corpse Puppet, and soared into the sky solo.
Shortly thereafter, Peter sensed a disturbance emanating from thousands of miles away. Compelled by curiosity, he darted in the direction of the disturbance.
In no time at all, Peter found himself hovering in the void, a mere three thousand meters from the source of the energy fluctuation. Below him, a fierce battle raged.
A band of men clad in black, exuding a murderous aura, were engaged in combat. Not only were they numerous, but they also possessed formidable strength. Their leader, a towering figure dressed in black, had achieved the cultivation level of a half-step Great Luo.
Opposing them was a young man in plain clothing, a Golden Immortal by his cultivation. Surrounded by the black-garbed assailants, the young man's simple and unassuming demeanor belied his extraordinary talent. Clutching a powerful Origin Immortal Artifact, he managed to fend off the attacks from the half-step Origin Immortal adversary.
But his resilience was fleeting.
The young man, now battered and ashen-faced, was clearly at his limit, barely clinging to life.
"Xiangfan, there's no use resisting. Just give in," taunted the leader of the men in black, a smirk spreading across his face as he watched the young man teeter on the brink of defeat.
"Never!" the young man spat, blood flecking his lips as he glared defiantly at the half-step Great Luo opponent. "Wu Ding, your Wu Family conspired against my Duan Family. Just wait until my elder brother returns from the Cloud Sky Sect. I swear, your Wu Family will pay for this."
Cloud Sky Sect?
Peter Parker was mulling over whether to intervene in the affairs of others when the words of the earnest young man before him caught him off guard. If his memory served him right, the token given to him by Ling Xiyao was connected to a group within the Longevity Immortal Domain known as the Cloud Sky Sect.
His initial plan was to find a place to gather information about the Longevity Immortal Domain, hoping to get news of Lu Xiaoqing directly. If that failed, he'd have to consider an alternative. His next move would be to learn about the Cloud Sky Sect and then decide on his next steps after establishing himself there.
Little did he expect that the forthright young man standing before him would bring up the Cloud Sky Sect outright. It felt like an effortless find after a fruitless search, like finding something without even trying.
Given that this guileless young man, Xiangfan, seemed to know about the Cloud Sky Sect and might even have ties to it, Peter Parker couldn't just stand by.
He stepped forward, closing the distance to Xiang Fan. This abrupt movement made the half-step Great Luo of the Wu clan's pupils constrict sharply. "Who are you, and why are you meddling in the Wu clan's affairs?"
The young man's presence was enigmatic, his aura impenetrable.
Moreover, he had managed to approach undetected by someone of half-step Great Luo stature, which was no small feat. Clearly, he was no ordinary individual.
Upon seeing Peter Parker suddenly materialize before him, Xiang Fan was visibly taken aback. His clan had been sabotaged and decimated by the Wu family; survival seemed out of the question.
He had braced himself for the end, never expecting a mysterious young man dressed in black to emerge from thin air.
"What Wu family? Never heard of them," Peter Parker stated coolly. "This individual is of use to me. I'll ensure his safety. If you value your life, I suggest you make yourself scarce."
"You insolent fool, you're asking for death!" Wu Ding bellowed, his body radiating an intense, icy fury.
After all, the Wu family was a renowned Great Luo lineage in the area, having even vanquished another Great Luo family.
Wu Ding was incensed that a mere boy had the audacity to act so outrageously in his presence.
"The affairs of the Wu family are not to be interfered with by just anyone. Since you're so keen on sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, you might as well join him in the grave," Wu Ding declared.
As the last word left Wu Ding's lips, the Great Luo Immortal Force enveloping him intensified. A dark, heavy wind hurtled toward Peter Parker, as chilling as a blast from the underworld itself.
Seeing the impending danger, he couldn't help but call out, "Brother, be careful..."
But before he could finish, Peter Parker casually raised his hand in a seemingly gentle gesture.
His palm appeared tranquil, devoid of any visible power.
Yet, the moment it met Wu Ding's icy black wind, the force dissipated as if it were a mere droplet facing a fierce inferno, vanishing without a trace.
