World's Strongest Martial Warrior

"Ding! Your cultivation base has reached the peak of the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal!"    

"Ding! Having consumed the Dao Comprehension Immortal Fruit, you've entered a state of enlightenment a hundred times. You've now grasped the Immortal Dao Laws and wield Immortal Qi to command heaven and earth."    

"Ding! Your mastery of the Immortal Dao Laws and Immortal Power has reached the Initial Stage."    

Upon hearing the notification sound in his mind, Peter Parker couldn't resist opening his eyes, and a look of sheer joy spread across his face. The Dao Comprehension Immortal Fruit had proven to be remarkable. It had not only propelled his cultivation base to the peak of the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal, but it had also saved him decades, if not centuries, of dedicated cultivation. Furthermore, it had enabled him to grasp the Immortal Dao Law to the extent that he could now manipulate the forces of Heaven and Earth.    

At his current level, Peter was formidable enough to challenge an Eighth Grade Golden Immortal. With the added ability to wield the Immortal Force that commands Heaven and Earth, he might even outmatch an ordinary Ninth Grade Heavenly Immortal!    

"I must have devoted a considerable amount of time to consuming the enlightenment fruit this time around. I wonder if Feng Qianxing has uncovered anything about the Sunchaser Mountain Range," Peter mused to himself.    

Although the Immortal Comprehension Fruit had allowed him to access the realm of Immortal Force that governs the Heavens and Earth, he had only achieved the Minor Success Stage. He knew there were further stages of major completion to attain. Only when one's Immortal Force reaches the Perfection Stage does one qualify to understand the higher echelons of Immortal Law, thereby surpassing the Great Luo Immortal Venerable realm.    

The breakthrough of the Great Xuan Immortal Venerable beyond the Great Luo Immortal Venerable realm, thanks to the Chasing Sun Mountain Range, was proof enough that this place harbored treasures on par with the Dao Comprehension Immortal Fruit—treasures capable of aiding one's comprehension of the Immortal Dao Law.    

Naturally, Peter Parker was eager to learn more about the Chasing Sun Mountain Range and set out on a journey there.    

With this in mind, Peter Parker no longer hesitated and disappeared in an instant from the second floor of the Tower of Time.    

...    

Simultaneously, in the Feng Family's meeting hall, the venerable ancestor Feng Qianxing occupied the seat of honor. Flanking him were several senior members of the Feng Clan.    

Across from Feng Qianxing sat an old man and a young man in quiet repose. The elder, garbed in a black robe, appeared to be around the same age as Feng Qianxing, exuding a similar presence. It was evident that he, too, had attained the lofty half-step Great Luo Realm in his cultivation.    

Next to the elder was a young man in black robes, exuding pride and detachment. Astonishingly, this young man's cultivation had already reached the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal Realm, surpassing even Feng Chuan, the previous Young Master of the Feng Clan.    

"Huang Peng Zu, I trust you haven't come to my Feng Clan without purpose. What brings you here today?" Feng Qianxing inquired, his calm voice filling the hall as he addressed the black-clad elder before him.    

Qi Huang Immortal City was the nearest immortal city to Feng Gang Immortal City. The Huang Family, hailing from Qi Huang, bore similarities to the Feng Family, including the protection of a half-step Da Luo. Huang Peng Zu, the black-robed elder, was the Huang Family's esteemed half-step Origin Immortal Realm expert.    

The Feng and Huang families, neighbors to each other, frequently clashed over resources. Despite this, their strengths were closely matched, preventing either from gaining the upper hand.    

However, the dynamics had shifted several centuries prior when Huang Ze, the Young Patriarch of the Huang Clan, was selected by an elder of the Taiyi Faction within the Earth Immortal Palace, becoming a core disciple.    

With the backing of the Earth Immortal Palace over the years, the Huang Family had started to gain an edge over the Feng Family.    

Huang Peng Zu's arrival with Huang Ze, the Young Lord of the Huang Family, signaled clear intentions of confrontation.    

"Feng Qianxing, there are two matters I need to address today," he stated.    

Huang Peng Ancestor wasted no time and spoke with calm authority, "The first issue at hand is the ownership of Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain. The Huang and Feng families have been locked in a struggle over this land for many years. The time has come to settle the matter of ownership once and for all."    

Upon hearing Huang Peng Zu's declaration, a shadow fell over Feng Qianxing's face.    

Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain, an ancient peak situated between Phoenix Perch Immortal City and Gale Immortal City, was a treasure trove of resources. It was renowned for yielding an abundance of rare immortal materials and treasures.    

For as long as anyone could remember, both the Feng and Huang families had coveted Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain for themselves, yet neither had been able to best the other.    

As a result, the resources of Phoenix Perch Mountain had always been under the joint stewardship of the Feng and Huang families. However, with the Huang family now backed by the formidable Earth Immortal Palace, their power had begun to eclipse that of the Feng family. It was clear they no longer wished to share the bounties of Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain with their rivals.    

Feng Qixing let out a cold snort and retorted, "Huang Peng Zu, Phoenix Perch Immortal Mountain has been under the shared control of our families. If your Huang family seeks to monopolize its resources, you'll have to see if you're truly capable."    

"Feng Qixing, I have no interest in idle chatter," Huang Peng Zu replied, his face devoid of emotion. "Let's adhere to the agreement between our families and settle this through combat."    

Feng Qianxing's eyes locked onto Huang Peng Zu. "Do you truly believe you can best me?"    

"Whether I can or not, the outcome will be clear once we've clashed," Huang Peng Zu replied with a dismissive glance. "If you're not inclined to fight, then so be it. Should one of your young disciples manage to defeat Huang Ze, then Phoenix Perch Mountain will be claimed by your Feng Clan for generations to come."    

A glint of contemplation shone in Feng Qianxing's eyes. Huang Peng Zu was from an older generation, having ascended to the half-step Great Luo tens of thousands of years before him. While Feng Qianxing was confident in his own abilities, the fact that Huang Peng Zu had boldly issued a challenge to the Feng Clan suggested he harbored some measure of confidence in his victory.    

After all, the Huang Clan currently enjoyed the support of the influential Taiyi faction and the Earth Immortal Palace. With the Earth Immortal Palace's assistance, Huang Peng Zu's power could potentially skyrocket.    

At this moment, Feng Qianxing had to admit that he lacked confidence in defeating Huang Peng Zu. And when it came to the younger generation, without the support of Feng Chuan's Feng Clan, he wouldn't stand a chance against the Huangs.    

Moreover, the Huang Family's young master, Huang Ze, had become a core disciple of the Earth Kun Immortal Palace and advanced to the Fourth Grade Golden Immortal realm, widening the power gap with Feng Chuan.    

Even if Feng Chuan were alive, he might struggle to contend with Huang Ze.    

Taking a deep breath, Feng Qianxing acknowledged the longstanding feud between the Huang and Feng families. With the Huangs' growing power, it seemed inevitable that they would eventually overpower and absorb the Fengs. The dispute over Feng Qi Immortal Mountain was merely the start of the Huang Family's aggressive campaign against them.    

Yet, as the Huang Family made their move, Feng Qianxing was not one to shy away from a challenge. His only option was to confront Huang Peng Zu with everything he had.    

As he braced himself for the impending conflict, a soft voice echoed from the hall's entrance, "Ancestor Feng, do you need my help?"    

The unexpected offer caught everyone off guard. Feng Qianxing quickly regained his composure, his eyes lighting up with hope. He had overlooked this ally.    

With this individual's support, not even Huang Ze, with his Fourth Grade Golden Immortal status, would pose a significant threat.
