The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao was somewhat annoyed. What do you all mean by this?

Just because my energy circle doesn't have a color, is it necessary to do this?

You all push me towards the Kao Shan Sect without a second thought; it's certain that the Kao Shan Sect must be particularly crappy.

I am Tang Rao, ah! I have ancient spiritual roots, ah! I am a super genius, ah! Do you have no discernment, ah? Do you not understand appreciation, ah?

That Kao Shan Sect, just hearing it doesn't sound reliable, ah.

What's the name of the guide? Niu Ben...

What the heck...

"That... that's not quite right, is it?" The Niu Ben from the Kao Shan Sect finally spoke.

He looked like an honest man, and even when he spoke, he did so with a grin, not displaying the slightest bit of temper.

"What's not right? Niu Ben, let me tell you, we are doing this for the good of your Kao Shan Sect."

"And indeed, the guy is at least of the Earth Immortal caliber, isn't he?"

"Exactly, doesn't your Kao Shan Sect claim to specialize in collecting trash? It's the perfect fit!"

"Indeed, it's gotta be your Kao Shan Sect."

Even with everyone saying so, Niu Ben did not get angry; he appeared to be quite timid.

Tang Rao was also dumbfounded, for heaven's sake, your name is Niu Ben, right? Four "bulls", so why don't you have any bullishness at all?

"That... that..."

"What that? Take him in!"

"Alright, okay then." In the end, Niu Ben finally compromised.

He had no choice, these people were clearly messing with him, clearly doing it for their twisted amusement, but he could only take him in.

What else could he do if he didn't? If these people were to get angered, the Kao Shan Sect might well be destroyed by them.

Better to endure than to offend.

It's just someone who couldn't even produce a pale-yellow energy circle, what's the big deal? After all, the Kao Shan Sect has no shortage of a trash or two.

"That... young man, would you like to join my Kao Shan Sect?" Niu Ben asked Tang Rao.

Even facing Tang Rao, he did not display much firmness.

Tang Rao, of course, did not want to join. It was quite clear that your Kao Shan Sect was lousy, explosively lousy.

What a joke, I'm such a dashing genius, how could I join such a promisingless organization?

"I…"

"Tang Rao, don't refuse, you'll die." Just as Tang Rao was about to say no, Li Shengxuan quickly warned, "These people obviously just want to see you become the Kao Shan Sect's laughing stock. If you don't agree, they might just take action on the spot to kill you."

Holy shit, it could even be like this...

Tang Rao felt his life was dimming, his future bleak.

I, Tang Rao, with ancient spiritual roots, have actually fallen to such a state; it's simply hopeless.

Anyway, he felt that the energy circle must have been broken. With Xiao Hei's qualification as a daddy, if it weren't gold, at least black color could be guaranteed, right?

"I... am willing." Tang Rao bowed his noble head.

"Ha ha ha!" Upon hearing Tang Rao's consent, everyone burst out laughing.

"Young man, I see potential in you."

"By the way, what's your name? You're going to make big achievements in the Kao Shan Sect!"

"Niu Ben, congratulations to your Kao Shan Sect, you finally got a genius promoter!"

Niu Ben: "..."

"All right, all right, everyone disperse. There's nothing to see here anymore," the crowd shouted.

"And you, what's your name?" Niu Ben looked toward Tang Rao.

"Tang Rao."

"Well, Tang Rao, follow me. I'll take you back to the Kao Shan Sect." Niu Ben spoke with a hint of resignation. What else could he do? Things had already reached this point, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Niu Ben, you better not kill our Tang Rao on the way. Let me tell you, there's only half a year left until the big competition. If Xiao Tang is gone by then, your Kao Shan Sect... tsk tsk tsk..."

"Exactly, I need to see the person then, otherwise, it won't be good."

"Hahaha! Right, right, right!"

Everyone started laughing and joking, clearly mocking the Kao Shan Sect. It was obvious they viewed the Kao Shan Sect as a pitiable power that they could crush at any moment.

As for why they hadn't crushed it already, perhaps it's because the Kao Shan Sect was too insignificant, not even worth the effort.

Who bothers with an ant?

"I got it," Niu Ben replied, then turned and left.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes, this Kao Shan Sect really didn't seem reliable. But whatever, he had just arrived here and was in the position of having the weakest Energy Circle, so being affiliated with a power was already quite good.

At least he wouldn't be killed outright.

Without Li Shengxuan, Tang Rao really felt completely helpless.

Such a pity, if only Sheng Xuan could bring her strength here, she could wipe the floor with you all in minutes.

The cultivators here, aside from that so-called supreme leader from earlier, were all weaklings. The strongest was only an Earth Immortal, incomparable to Li Shengxuan, so pitifully weak it was unbearable to watch.

Soon, Tang Rao followed Niu Ben and left the place.

The sky of the Land of Immortals appeared exceptionally high, and the lands of the Land of Immortals were incredibly vast. Even the air was filled with Immortal Power.

No wonder cultivation progresses so fast here; compared to the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms, this place makes them look like utter trash.

"Tang Rao, which realm are you from?" Niu Ben asked.

"Oh, from the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms," Tang Rao replied.

"The Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms..." Niu Ben rolled his eyes, his face showing even more disappointment, "Oh, that place. Seems like no one has ascended from there in many years. There was someone a while ago, and now here's another."

To Niu Ben, the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms left no impression; that place was considered very insignificant among the numerous lower realms.

Having two people ascend consecutively was already a huge stroke of luck; how could there be anyone with good qualifications there?

If they had good qualifications, wouldn't they have come here earlier?

And if the cultivation environment of the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms was any good, would there not have been one or two ascenders in hundreds or even thousands of years?

But Niu Ben just thought these things to himself; what else could be done now that he had taken him in?

And he couldn't just ditch Tang Rao halfway, not after the previous bunch of people; they would definitely do something like that. If they couldn't see Tang Rao in half a year, they might really do something to the Kao Shan Sect.

That responsibility, Niu Ben could not bear.

So, even if it was raising a waste, he had to do it.

"So, Tang Rao, how many years have you cultivated in the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms?" Niu Ben continued to inquire.

"About thirty years," Tang Rao said.

"Oh," Niu Ben responded, seemingly a bit distracted.

"What! What did you say? Thirty years?!" But the next moment, Niu Ben shouted, staring with wide eyes in disbelief.

What a joke, thirty years and you've cultivated to the level of an Earth Immortal, fuck, how is that possible.

"So now? What's your power level?" Niu Ben asked again.

"Nine levels of Earth Immortal...huh, no wait, I've broken through, three levels of Earth Immortal." Tang Rao nodded, realizing he had just had a breakthrough.
