The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Pick any room, they're all the same." Tang Rao waved his hand and said, ensuring everyone had their room, so they wouldn't disturb each other. After all, everyone had different levels of strength and faced varying situations.

If everyone gathered together, it would inevitably cause some interference.

The group quickly chose their preferred rooms. Of course, the facilities in each room were the same; the only difference was the location. But location didn't really matter, as each room was equidistant from the Spirit Gathering Array, so the coverage of Immortal Power was the same, with no advantages or disadvantages.

"Here, let me distribute the Stones of Enlightenment." Tang Rao mumbled and began allocating the Stones of Enlightenment.

For someone like Geng Bucuo, he received Stones of Enlightenment ranging from the ninth level Earth Immortal to the first level Immortal Monarch.

Xiao Yue received Stones of Enlightenment for the ninth level Earth Immortal and the first level Immortal Monarch.

As for Xiao Yun, he only got one Stone of Enlightenment at the first level Immortal Monarch.

"Alright, start on your own. I also need to go into seclusion for a while. I've arranged matters within the sect so long as nothing unexpected occurs, there's no need to worry. Just focus on cultivation." Tang Rao said.

"Yes!" They all responded in unison, then turned and entered their rooms.

...

Time passed by slowly. Under Xiao Se's arrangement, the Kao Shan Sect was developing smoothly. Meanwhile, Tang Rao and the others were fervently pushing through one Realm after another.

Two months went by in the blink of an eye.

"Not bad," Tang Rao slowly got up in one of the rooms, his face adorned with a satisfied smile. It was rare for him to have cultivated continuously for two months. Honestly, if it weren't for the fear of running out of Immortal Power, he might have achieved more.

There was no helping it; his breakthroughs demanded an enormous amount of Immortal Power. If he acted recklessly, even those nine-tier Immortal Monarch Crystals might not be absorbable.

"It's about time to head out." Tang Rao mumbled, tidied himself a bit, then walked out of the room.

Today was the agreed-upon time, yet after he exited, he didn't see anyone else.

They probably weren't out yet.

Tang Rao wasn't in a rush; he pulled a chair next to the Spirit Gathering Array and sat down to wait patiently. After all, everyone would come out sometime today.

In less than an hour, a door opened, and someone jumped out.

"Wow, Sect Master, you're fast!" Fan Xiaohua was taken aback upon seeing Tang Rao seated. He pursed his lips and said.

He initially thought he'd be the first to exit, but Tang Rao beat him to it.

Tang Rao glanced at Fan Xiaohua, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Not bad, Xiaohua," Tang Rao said with a smile. Xiaohua's talents were quite impressive; within two months, he had reached the second-level Earth Immortal. With this strength, he could attend the sect exchange conference, too.

"Of course, haha. Sect Master, what Realm have you reached now? I think I've improved significantly; I should be in the top three." Fan Xiaohua said.

"You're rather confident, but I think Lu Jun and Geng Bucuo have slightly better talents than you." Tang Rao replied, and he wasn't joking; that's really what he believed.

"That's absolutely impossible." Fan Xiaohua wore a proud expression. Are you kidding me? I'm already at the second-level Earth Immortal, there's no way they're stronger than me.

"Well, let's wait and see. You might just rank at the bottom or second from last." Tang Rao stated.

"Sect Master, why do you look down on me like that? I've got great talent!"

"You're more suited for intelligence work." Tang Rao shrugged.

The second-level Earth Immortal was seemingly impressive, but before entering, Fan Xiaohua was at the fifth-level Heavenly Immortal. This advance was still lacking. His talent was decent, but he was far from being truly prodigious.

Hopefully, one or two will turn out to be formidable.

Hearing Tang Rao, Fan Xiaohua looked dejected. Does it have to be this way? I've reached the second-level Earth Immortal.

"Hey, someone else is out; it should be Lu Jun." Tang Rao noted, pointing toward another door as it gently opened, and Lu Jun poked his head out to look around.

Only after seeing Tang Rao and Fan Xiaohua did he open the door and step out.

"Lu Jun, what's your strength? Tell me! The Sect Master says I'll be bottom tier, and I'm ready to beat you!" Fan Xiaohua yelled, pointing at Lu Jun.

"Huh? I'm at third-level Earth Immortal, why?" said Lu Jun, momentarily confused.

Pfft!

Fan Xiaohua spat out involuntarily. Why on earth?!

Lu Jun was just at the second-level Heavenly Immortal when he entered, so how could he suddenly leap ahead of me by a whole Realm? I'm not accepting this! I'm hopeless!

"Xiaohua, what's your strength? Hmm, seems obvious, second-level Earth Immortal..." Lu Jun noted.

Hearing Lu Jun speak that way almost made Fan Xiaohua spit blood.

Seemed obvious, well look at that... Lu Jun, you're ruthless.

"There's still Geng Bucuo; I don't believe I'll be at the bottom!" Fan Xiaohua grumbled. Geng Bucuo was only at the eighth-level Earth Immortal when he went in; he couldn't possibly jump two Great Realms, could he? That'd be completely unscientific.

"Oh, and I forgot to mention, in between, a Madman and a Fool also joined the cultivation. Madman started at the sixth-level Earth Immortal, Fool at the seventh-level Heavenly Immortal." Tang Rao added.

"Madman will absolutely be last," Fan Xiaohua stated with conviction. Madman was at the sixth-level Earth Immortal and joined midway through. If he's stronger than me, I might as well not live.

"Madman's Realm might rank last, but his combat power will definitely not." Tang Rao said.

Fan Xiaohua: "..."

Tang Rao, can we talk normally here?

"Hey, everyone's out now. Whoa, looks like all the strengths are pretty decent. Oh, Xiaohua is a bit weak, huh." The next moment, Xiao Hua appeared, took a quick look, and said with a chuckle.

The little girl seemed to be in a good mood.

"Pfft!" Seeing Xiao Hua, Tang Rao nearly fainted.

Are you even human!

There was no way Tang Rao was mistaken; Xiao Yun was currently at the second-level Immortal Monarch and seemed close to reaching the third.

You're a monster!

"Xiao Yun, you can't say that. I was at the fifth-level Heavenly Immortal before, and now I'm at the second-level Earth Immortal. That's quite the achievement, isn't it? Hey, are you an Immortal Monarch now?" Fan Xiaohua asked.

Though Xiao Yun started as a half-step Immortal Monarch, reaching the full Immortal Monarch Realm wasn't an easy task.

After all, after two months, Xiao Yun might still be hovering at the half-step Immortal Monarch level.

"Oh, I broke through. Now I'm at the second-level Immortal Monarch, nearly third." Xiao Yun replied casually.

Fan Xiaohua felt as if he were struck by lightning. Damn it...

He desperately wanted to question the heavens: Why, why, why.

How can we even live anymore? Almost at third-level Immortal Monarch... Just let me slam my head and be done with it.

"Tang Rao, by the way, what Realm are you at now?" Xiao Yun looked at Tang Rao and slightly furrowed her brow. She couldn't sense Tang Rao's Realm anymore.

This guy, could he be at a higher Realm than me? That's impossible.

To Xiao Yun, Tang Rao's talent was noteworthy, but it couldn't be exaggerated to such an extent.
