I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 752 Immortal Weapon
Nelson-Murdoch law firm.

Besides searching for answers to whether he's succumbing to violence, Matt's main task lately has been defending Erica. He's truly caught in a dilemma. On one hand, he wants to vindicate Erica; on the other hand, if he does, he'll have to accept the same acquittal outcome as Bullseye and Typhoid Mary.

"But the problem is that Erica is indeed innocent. She was a member of the Holy Order from the beginning, so I know she was definitely not an accomplice of the Hand. She didn't have her own subjective consciousness at the time. But the other two, one is Bullseye's copycat, and the other is even more ruthless, he is simply a former villain. You can't generalize at all."

When Peter arrived at the law firm, Matt was discussing Erica's situation with his partner and brother, Virgil Nelson. Virgil, who looked a bit overweight, was analyzing the situation with Matt: "But the problem is, we can't separate the two, at least not the jury, unless you can use personal connections to get Captain America on the jury. Are you close?"

Matt shook his head helplessly. Just then, Peter knocked on the door. Fergie looked at Peter with some confusion. He didn't know that his firm had such a young client. But Matt stopped Fergie with a gesture: "This is Mr. Rand's guest. He just wants to meet with our firm."

Fergie immediately expressed his understanding. Matt got up and pulled Peter into an empty room. After a while, Daniel arrived. Today, unusually, he wasn't wearing his superhero costume but instead opened the door in a suit.

However, he still recognized Peter.

"Hello, Spider-Man, it's great to see you here."

Peter paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked curiously, "Did you recognize me because I was angry with you?"

Iron Fist nodded: "Ki itself is a kind of life energy. Everyone's life energy is different, which is why I can see you directly. Sit down, Spider-Man."

After Peter sat down, he immediately began asking, "Do you think I can learn your skill?"

"Of course, as I said before, you have that potential..."

Daniel only realized what Peter meant at this point, and looked at him with a mixture of surprise and delight: "Are you planning to learn martial arts?"

"Well, more or less. The main thing is that I met a special prophet named Lady Spider. She prophesied that there might be an enemy that would prevent me from using spider magic. To deal with this possibility, I had to come to you because you know where to learn spider fist techniques."

Peter attributed the source of the immortal power to Mrs. Spider-Man, then looked at Daniel, who, after a moment's thought, suddenly understood and nodded: "I understand what that lady was talking about, Spider-Man. She meant not only that you should learn how to use Chi, but that you should become an immortal weapon like me."

"In the far east, just like the nine realms of Asgard, their mythology, that is, the so-called gods, reside in their own extra dimension, which is the Seven Cities of Heaven. Each city has an immortal beast as its guardian. These immortal beasts are immortal and can grant others great power."

“Each city will recruit suitable disciples from the mortal realm and teach them how to use Qi. Those who believe themselves to be strong enough will participate in the trials of the immortal beasts. They will kill the immortal beasts, extract their hearts, and in a specific ritual, fuse their power with their own Qi.”

As Iron Fist spoke, he gathered the immortal power within his body into his right fist: "According to the rules, each city can only possess one immortal weapon at a time, which means that the East can possess a maximum of seven immortal weapons."

As for the safety of the immortal beasts, there's no need to worry about them. They are "immortal beasts" themselves, and the trial isn't about killing enemies. They'll hold back, so having their hearts removed is no big deal for them. They can be resurrected in a couple of days.

After explaining the source of the immortal power, Iron Fist hesitated, then Peter picked up the conversation: "I guess one of the legendary beasts is a spider, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come looking for you." Iron Fist sighed.

"Yes, within the seven cities of Tiandu, there is a small extra dimension called the Spider Kingdom, where the immortal divine beast is called the Mountain Spider. And perhaps by fate, or perhaps by luck, the Spider Kingdom currently does not possess any immortal weapons."

"Yay! Then why are you sighing?"

Iron Fist stared at Peter, then shook his head: "The Seven Cities of Tiandu have seven small extra dimensions and need to communicate with the outside world. So, in order to communicate with the outside world and to ensure the unity of the Seven Cities of Tiandu, they chose to hold the Tiandu Grand Tournament every 88 years, in which the immortal weapons of the seven cities fight each other, and the dimension that wins in the end becomes the gateway for communication with the outside world for the next 88 years."

Peter suddenly realized: "Since you are an immortal weapon that can operate in the outside world, that means you were the one who won last time, right?"

"I am the 66th Iron Fist, Spider-Man."

Daniel looked at Peter calmly: "I haven't participated in this year's Tiandu Grand Competition yet, but I know that in the past 66 years of 88 years, the winner has always been the immortal iron fist of Kunlun."

amount……

"In other words, for thousands of years, Kunlun has been the gateway for the seven cities of Tiandu to the outside world. Anyone who seeks to learn martial arts and is chosen as a disciple by the seven cities of Tiandu must first enter Kunlun. Do you understand what this means?"

Peter made a lot of connections: "Does that mean... Kunlun has the right to choose its disciples first?"

"To be more precise, it's about convenience. Kunlun did indeed select more outstanding disciples, but other places weren't too bad either. Their locations were renowned throughout the world, such as Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. Their immortal divine beasts were known throughout the country: the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, and..."

The Spider Kingdom is called the Spider Kingdom, and their immortal divine beast is called the Mountain Spider.

Peter roughly understood what Daniel meant: "So, it would be awkward if you took me with you?"

"You'll be very unwelcome. You'll probably be seen as trash that the other six cities threw at them. If you really plan to go, be prepared."

After Iron Fist finished speaking, he added, "Also, remember to prepare your passport, because Kunlun is really in Kunlun, and they overlap."

　The Seven Cities of Tiandu (actually eight cities) uses the Marvel Cinematic Universe setting, which is cooler and more reasonable. However, it also includes some personal interpretations, since neither Marvel Cinematic Universe nor the comics themselves provide much information about the Seven Cities of Tiandu.
