World's Strongest Martial Warrior

"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics," Immortal Venerable Yun Qian admitted, shaking his head. "But the absence of news about any defeats suggests that the battle is intensifying. Immortal Palace Changsheng is attempting to fend off the combined assaults of Immortal Palace Rebirth and Evergreen Immortal Palace. It's a daunting challenge."    

The Cloud Sky Sect, being merely a Taiyi Immortal Sect, didn't closely monitor the affairs of the Longevity Immortal Palace. Their strength was insufficient to engage with the leading factions within the Longevity Immortal Realm.    

Immortal Venerable Yun Gan, however, believed that despite the Longevity Immortal Palace's ability to hold its ground against the Past Life Immortal Palace and the Evergreen Immortal Palace using the resources left by the Longevity Immortal, their defeat seemed inevitable.    

Peter Parker's expression grew serious upon hearing Immortal Venerable Yun Qian's insights. Although Lu Xiaoqing had not returned to the Immortal World alone, having the backing of a faction from the Longevity Immortal King's lineage, he feared the current circumstances were unfavorable.    

With a deep breath, he addressed Immortal Venerable Yun Gan earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Yun Gan, may I ask you to gather more information about the Longevity Immortal Palace for me? I would be indebted to you for your help."    

Peter Parker refrained from rash actions after learning about the situation at the Longevity Immortal Palace. His cultivation had reached the Great Luo Realm, and he possessed the remains of an Immortal King with combat abilities on par with the Tai-Yi Realm—a formidable force indeed.    

Yet, his involvement in the Longevity Immortal Palace conflict would be insufficient. The palace, despite lacking any Immortal Kings since the fall of the Longevity Immortal King, was still home to numerous Chaos Origin Stage Immortal Venerables, divided among three elite Chaos Origin Stage factions.    

Given his current level of power, Peter Parker knew that heading straight to the Longevity Immortal Palace would hardly make a dent in the ongoing conflict. It was with this realization that he decided to enlist Immortal Venerable Yun Qian's help in gathering intelligence. Perhaps, with a bit of luck, he could find a way to covertly assist Lu Xiaoqing.    

"Alright!" Immortal Venerable Yun Qian responded with a hint of surprise, quickly followed by a nod of agreement. The Cloud Sky Sect might not be among the most powerful in the Longevity Immortal Realm, but as a Taiyi Immortal Sect, they had their own ways of collecting information. Although they weren't strong enough to engage in the power struggles of the realm's elite, intelligence gathering was well within their capabilities.    

Immortal Venerable Yun Qian was in the dark about the young man's connections to the Longevity Immortal Realm and his background. Nevertheless, the extraordinary talent Peter Parker had shown made helping him a worthwhile investment—if all it took was some information gathering to gain his favor.    

After a brief exchange with Immortal Venerable Yun Gan, Peter Parker was accommodated in the Cloud Sky Sect by Immortal Venerable Yun Qian's arrangements.    

Settled in a luxurious guest room within the sect, Peter Parker didn't squander a moment. He was ready to delve into the Tower of Time for cultivation.    

But as he tuned into the first floor's situation, he suddenly appeared before Zi Yao. With a cool gaze at the elated Zi Yao, he confirmed, "Indeed, you've ascended to the Golden Immortal realm."    

Zi Yao, facing Peter Parker, managed to quell his bubbling excitement and expressed his gratitude respectfully. "It's all thanks to Young Master Peter Parker that I've been able to achieve this milestone."    

Deep down, Zi Yao was acutely aware of his fortune. Despite his Purple Qilin Race lineage and considerable talent, without Peter Parker's intervention—rescuing him from the Sword Extinguishing Palace, providing resources, and the opportunity to spend tenfold the time in this place—reaching the Golden Immortal status so swiftly would have been out of reach.    

"I'm certain you understand why I've been helping you enhance your strength," Peter Parker said in a subdued tone. "Now that we've entered the Longevity Immortal Domain, your young master is facing dire straits. Your current level at the Golden Immortal Realm simply won't cut it."    

Zi Yao drew in a deep breath and responded, "Rest assured, young master Peter Parker. I will ascend to the Great Luo Realm as swiftly as I can." As a scion of the Purple Qilin Race, Zi Yao was somewhat familiar with the dynamics within the Longevity Immortal Palace, a formidable force in the Immortal World.    

Upon Young Master Lu Xiaoqing's return to the Immortal World, she would undoubtedly confront formidable adversaries. Zi Yao's Golden Immortal cultivation was practically insignificant in such a scenario.    

"Now that you've advanced to the Golden Immortal realm, your progress here has slowed considerably. Come with me; I'll take you somewhere else." Without waiting for a response, Peter Parker clasped Zi Yao's shoulder and whisked him to the second level of the Tower of Time.    

Surveying the space that was both new and familiar, Zi Yao's eyes lit up with curiosity. "Young Master Peter Parker, what is this place?"    

"This area functions much like the previous space you trained in, with the ability to speed up time. However, here, time flows a hundred times faster," Peter Parker explained nonchalantly.    

Zi Yao couldn't help but gasp, his eyes betraying his astonishment. The realm where time sped up tenfold had already amazed him, but he hadn't anticipated that Peter Parker would introduce him to an area where time accelerated by a factor of a hundred. In essence, a single year of training here could equate to a century outside.    

With newfound confidence, Zi Yao believed he could reach the esteemed rank of Great Luo Immortal Sovereign in a relatively short time.    

"This is the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring, cultivated by the Chaos Origin Immortal Sovereign himself. It's designed to double your efficiency as you strive to break through to the Great Luo Immortal Sovereign level."    

Before Zi Yao could fully process his amazement, Peter Parker handed him the last few dozen drops of the Chaos Origin Immortal Spring, eager for him to achieve rapid growth.    

"You should cultivate here."    

After settling Zi Yao in, Peter Parker didn't linger on the second floor of the Tower of Time. He promptly ascended to the third floor to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Sovereign Immortal Art.    

In the realm of cultivation, time is elusive.    

Before he knew it, half a year had flown by.    

In that time, Peter had managed to grasp a third of the monarch-grade Immortal Art.    

On this particular day, just as he was preparing to leave the Tower of Time to inquire Immortal Venerable Yun Qian about the Longevity Immortal Palace, a sudden and fearsome energy erupted from the second floor.    

Startled, Peter found himself instinctively back on the second floor.    

His eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of Zi Yao, now enveloped in a mystical purple cocoon of light.    

Zi Yao was radiating the energy of a Great Luo Immortal Venerable, leaving Peter utterly astounded.    

Had this individual truly ascended to the Great Luo Immortal Venerable realm?    

In that moment, a tsking sound echoed in Peter's mind.    

"Tsk tsk... This youngster from the Purple Qilin Race is truly remarkable. His bloodline has indeed reverted to its ancient origins!"
