Since acquiring the system, Peter's greatest passion had been the thrill of unearthing hidden gems among these fragmented relics.
In the lower realms of the universe, Peter had stumbled upon numerous incomplete cultivation techniques and martial skills. With the system's ability to enhance his comprehension a hundredfold, he successfully reconstructed these fragmented arts.
The damaged artifacts housed on the fourth level of the Sanskrit Treasure Pavilion were once remarkable, and there was a strong chance that some might even surpass the treasures of the Great Luo. Peter was hopeful he might discover something of value in this cluttered corner.
Upon reaching the miscellaneous section, he scrutinized each item with a discerning eye. However, luck didn't seem to be on his side this time. After a thorough search, nothing caught his attention as worthy of acquisition.
Just as he was about to leave, a tattered booklet tucked away in a corner caught his eye. "Immortal Venerable Tai Xuan's letter." Despite its worn condition, Peter managed to decipher the fragmented script on the cover.
With a contemplative look, he pointed to the booklet and inquired of the nearby server, "How much for this item?"
"Lord Taixuan was a renowned Taiyi Immortal Venerable in the Chaotic Territories. This letter, a remnant of his legacy, contains fragments of his cultivation insights, though it is incomplete," the attendant explained, then added with a smile, "This letter is priced at 100,000 immortal stones."
Peter's eyes gleamed with interest. A missive from a Primordial Immortal, one who stood above the Great Luo Immortal Venerables, could indeed hold profound understandings of Immortal Force and mastery over the cosmos.
The asking price, equivalent to that of an average Great Luo Immortal Treasure, was not steep by any means. To Peter, 100,000 immortal stones were a trifle. He decided to purchase the letter and explore its contents.
"I'll take the letter," he declared, promptly producing 100,000 immortal stones and handing them to the astonished attendant.
Though the letter was an artifact of Immortal Venerable Taixuan, bearing the wisdom of his cultivation journey, its incomplete state had left its true value uncertain.
Since its placement, the letter had caught the attention of many visitors. Yet, upon discovering its incomplete state, most were quick to dismiss it. After all, the value of an incomplete letter was uncertain, and with a steep price tag of a hundred thousand immortal stones, even Golden Immortals balked at the cost. Who would gamble such a sum on an item of dubious utility?
The attendant was taken aback, and even the patrons on the fourth floor found their eyes drawn to Peter Parker. Immortal Venerable Tai Xuan was a renowned figure in the Chaotic Domain, and his letter had piqued the interest of many, though none had been bold enough to purchase it. Yet here stood a young man in black, who had bought the letter without a second thought.
At that moment, curious glances were cast toward Peter Parker. Their reluctance to part with a hundred thousand immortal stones didn't equate to a lack of curiosity about the letter.
"Young Master, please wait a moment," the waiter interjected, recovering from his surprise. He respectfully retrieved a token, broke the seal on the display case, and handed the letter to Peter Parker.
The Sanskrit Treasure Pavilion might have displayed its treasures openly for guests to peruse, but this was no indication of lax security. Each case was fortified with a seal from the Pavilion, impervious to all but the most powerful beings, the Great Luo Immortal Venerables.
Having acquired the letter, Peter Parker saw nothing else of interest on the counter and promptly exited the Pavilion. His stay in Double Dragons Immortal City would be brief; he intended to explore the surroundings while delving into the contents of the Immortal Venerable's letter, for which he had paid a hefty sum.
Just then, Peter Parker felt a disturbance and halted. The world around him morphed into a vast crimson plain, the once bustling street vanished as if he had been transported to another realm in the blink of an eye.
"Spatial formation!"
Peter Parker narrowed his eyes. Someone had activated a spatial formation, pulling him into an isolated realm, severed from the real world.
Yet, Peter Parker was unfazed by the abrupt shift in his surroundings.
Gazing into the void, he called out calmly, "Who's there? Since you've brought me here, why lurk in the shadows? Show yourself."
As his words trailed off, a burly young man emerged from the spatial expanse.
This youth was no ordinary individual; he was a prodigy who had ascended to the First Grade Golden Immortal rank.
Flanking the burly youth were several Golden Immortal guards, each one a formidable presence. Their cultivation levels ranged from the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal rank and higher. The most powerful among them was at the pinnacle of the Sixth Grade Golden Immortal rank, a match for Ling Yangcheng from the Heaven-Cleaving Immortal Sect.
"What's your intention?" Peter Parker asked, his demeanor unshaken.
He recognized the burly youth and his entourage; they had crossed paths on the fourth floor of the Sanskrit Pavilion just moments earlier.
It was clear to Peter Parker that he hadn't anticipated the youth's pursuit or his aggressive intentions.
"They're after the letter from Immortal Lord Taixuan," the burly youth revealed with a smirk. "Hand it over willingly, and maybe I'll spare your life."
"Oh?" Peter Parker's lips curled into a slight smile. "And if I refuse to surrender it today?"
"Then I'll have no choice but to eliminate you and claim the letter from Grand Xuan Immortal," the youth replied, his face hardening. The Golden Immortals behind him fixed their gaze on Peter Parker, their eyes brimming with lethal intent.
Peter Parker shook his head, a hint of pity in his voice. "You really have the audacity to confront me and vie for my treasure. I'm curious where you found such courage."
With those words, he stepped forward lightly.
The burly youth's expression contorted with dread, sensing that something was amiss, but it was already too late.
"Boom!"
The formation trembled violently as it evolved.
A colossal wave of Immortal Force burst forth from Peter Parker, filling the emptiness around him. It was as though an ancient Immortal Venerable had been roused from slumber, his immense and fearsome power enveloping him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In the blink of an eye, the burly young man and the several Golden Immortals trailing him couldn't bear the overwhelming pressure. They found themselves compelled to kneel, their bodies shaking without respite.
