Above the pond, a divine dragon bathed in a rainbow glow soared with freedom. It appeared to have been born from the enigmatic energies of the pond, its body enveloped in a kaleidoscope of light and shrouded in swirling mists, radiating an air of mystery.
Peter Parker instinctively knew that this pond was indeed the legendary Immemorial Immortal Pond. A natural wonder, its origins were unknown even to the founder of the Immortal Execution Sword Palace, the Absolute Sword Immortal King.
Yet, the pond's divine nature was unquestionable. Those who received its baptism were transformed; it enhanced one's innate abilities and potential, and cultivation levels surged dramatically.
Without hesitation, Peter approached the pond, having learned that each visitor was granted a mere three-day stay. As he stepped into the waters, an indescribable force enveloped him. His every cell, bone, and even his soul were infused with the pond's primordial essence, elevating him to new heights.
His cultivation soared at an astonishing rate, the most significant since his ascension to the True Immortal realm. In just four hours, he progressed from the Fifth Grade Heavenly Immortal realm to the Sixth.
The three days flew by as Peter underwent relentless transformation. In this brief span, he ascended four levels, from the fifth grade to the ninth, a testament to the Immemorial Immortal Pond's extraordinary power.
"What a terrifying Immemorial Immortal Pond!"
Despite being aware of its presence within the Sword Extinguishing Palace, the pond's power still took him by surprise. Given another three days, he might have leveraged its power to ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm in one fell swoop. Yet, that was clearly out of the question.
As the three-day mark approached, Peter Parker felt an unseen force latch onto him, intent on casting him out of this realm. While he harbored some regret over not achieving the Golden Immortal Realm, reaching the Ninth Grade Heavenly Immortal realm was a considerable consolation.
Moreover, Peter could sense that the Immemorial Immortal Pond's potency had diminished after his three-day sojourn. Any further immersion would yield diminishing returns. It was evident that the Primeval Immortal Pond's reserves were finite. Those who were first to partake in its baptism likely reaped the greatest rewards. With each subsequent visitor, the pond's efficacy waned.
This limitation was why access was restricted to just ten individuals at a time. "There must be some profound mystery within this Ancient Immortal Pond," Peter mused, gazing into its depths. The energy it radiated was of a caliber far surpassing the Immortal Yuan found in the Immortal World, enabling rapid absorption and transformative strength gains.
Nevertheless, the continuous generation of such energy by the pond before him was nothing short of remarkable. Peter shook his head, dismissing further speculation. Whatever secrets the Immemorial Immortal Pond held, they were beyond his current capacity to uncover.
At that moment, the repulsive force of the world's will in the void intensified. It zeroed in on Peter Parker and, with unyielding finality, ejected him from the small world.
In the blink of an eye, Peter Parker had emerged in the sky above the towering Immortal Mountain. Every onlooker's attention was instantly captured by his presence.
"Could that be Peter Parker from the Northern Chill Immortal Palace?"
"It seems likely. His aura is significantly more potent than Senior Brother Leng's. He must have undergone the baptism at the Immemorial Immortal Pond."
Murmurs spread through the crowd as they watched Peter Parker, suspended in the heavens, their expressions a mix of awe and complexity.
Unfazed by the onlookers, Peter Parker descended gracefully to stand beside the Northern Underworld Spring and Zi Yao. With the events at the Immemorial Immortal Pond concluded and the Absolute Sword Immortal King absent from the palace, it was clear that the palace had no intention of meddling in the affairs of the Longevity Immortal King. Thus, Peter Parker had no desire to linger.
He was ready to say his goodbyes to the Northern Profound Spring and take Zi Yao to the Purple Flame Heaven Domain.
"Peter, congratulations on being the first to pass the test and receive the Immemorial Immortal Pond's baptism," Immortal Venerable Juechen congratulated with a warm smile. "I've heard you're not a disciple of the Northern Chill Immortal Palace. Would you consider joining my Absolute Sword Immortal Palace?"
Northern Chill Spring remained silent, acknowledging that Peter Parker was not one of his disciples and therefore outside his influence.
Indeed, Peter Parker's innate talent was unmatched, and he held the legacy of an Immortal King. His enigmatic background and mastery of the supreme Immortal Killing Sword Art from the Sword Extinguishing Palace made him a figure of great interest.
"Senior, I'm grateful for your offer," Peter Parker replied, shaking his head. "However, I have pressing matters to attend to and cannot commit to an extended stay at the Supreme Sword Immortal Palace."
Within the Supreme Sword Immortal Palace, Peter Parker's only significant connection was to the Absolute Sword Immortal King himself. Had the Immortal King extended the invitation, Peter might have entertained the idea. But in the king's absence, Peter Parker had no plans to join their ranks.
After all, his connection with the Longevity Immortal King ran deep. Lu Xiaoqing, the current successor of the Longevity Immortal King, was practically family to him. Given that the Sword Extinguishing Immortal Palace had no interest in the affairs of the Longevity Immortal King, what sense did it make for him to join their ranks?
"Peter Parker, the Killing Immortal Sword Art is not the core legacy of the Sword Extinguishing Immortal Palace. Since you've mastered the Immortal Killing Sword Art, you must belong to the Immortal Execution Sword Palace," Absolute Life Immortal stated impassively. "Today, you face two options: join the Immortal Execution Sword Palace or reveal the source of the Immortal Killing Sword Art."
With a slight narrowing of his eyes and a frosty grin, Peter Parker retorted, "Heh... The Sword Existing Palace sure is formidable, truly commanding respect. But what if I refuse?"
"Should you choose to decline, then don't hold us accountable for our discourtesy," Absolute Monarch responded with a cold snort. The formidable presence of the Great Luo Immortal Venerable bore down on Peter Parker.
