The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1436 - 1435: West Island

"Ah, I know, I know very well what my identity as Tang Rao is. I'm just here to run errands; I got into the Divine Realm through connections. I'm very clear on this point."Just like that, Tang Rao became a member of the top-ranking assassin organization in the Divine Realm, Shen Yin. After joining Shen Yin, a man in black gave Tang Rao a token to prove his identity, which was marked with the number 99.

"From now on, you are number 99 of Shen Yin. If you encounter trouble, show the token. If that doesn't work, come to me for help."

The man in black gave Tang Rao a meaningful look, which made Tang Rao feel uneasy, so he quickly agreed and wanted to send the man in black on his way.

"I know, I know. Kao Shan Sect is full of gossipy people. If you have nothing else, you'd better leave first. I've been refining Heavenly Elixirs for days and want to find some time to rest."

The man in black was surprisingly being hurried to leave. He felt that his heart had been hurt by Tang Rao more than once, yet he had no solution for this man whose strength was lacking, but whose mouth was sharper than anything.

"Goodbye!"

The man in black vanished into the air, while Tang Rao quickly returned to his room, feeling a strong urge. He was about to advance to the next level.

The reason he hurried the man in black away was because he didn't want to miss the opportunity for advancement a third time, having already missed it twice.

Do you think opportunities for advancement are like passing gas, just brewing and coming out?

With the experience of advancing through several Great Realms before, Tang Rao handled it with ease this time. He completely let his guard down and fully embraced the vast aura within himself, connecting with the Immortal Energy in the air. Every bit of Immortal Energy was sentient, and under Tang Rao's guidance, it started to become more lively.

Inhale and exhale in rhythm, repeatedly compressing the Immortal Energy that was about to overflow, until Tang Rao couldn't hold it back any longer. He was like a compressed bomb, and when the time was right, he completely released the Immortal Energy within him. With a bang, the barrier on his body was shattered, leaving Tang Rao stark naked and lying motionless on the ground, like a dead fish.

Having hit the barrier, he hadn't thought of using Elixir Pills to ease it; he just thought of a head-on charge. However, he saw the consequences of that head-on charge, and the term "fatal" was not an exaggeration.

"Tang Rao, were you robbed? Do you want me to find a piece of cloth to cover you?"

The Hellfire Shark slowly recovered, and when it jumped out of its portable palace, it was quite startled by the scene. Seeing Tang Rao without a stitch of clothing, the Hellfire Shark thought Tang Rao had been involved in something indescribable with others.

The Hellfire Shark brought a blanket to Tang Rao and covered him with it before returning to its portable palace. It figured it was best not to wake Tang Rao before he came around, as any side effects weren't something it could handle.

After sleeping for two days and nights, Tang Rao's consciousness gradually returned.

In his dream, he heard a woman's voice, constantly asking why he hadn't woken up yet.

Tang Rao searched many places but never saw the woman's face; only her ethereal voice lingered by his ear, refusing to fade.

Still unable to grasp that voice, he suddenly woke up, embarrassed to find himself naked. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel how awkward the situation was.

Luckily, there wasn't a single person in the room.

He used Immortal Energy to clean his body thoroughly, put on new clothes, and shaved his beard, looking at least five years younger than before.

He looked at himself in the mirror with a touch of narcissism, then reached out to release his attributes and test his strength. As expected, he had reached the early stage of the Upper God Realm.

From the peak of the Late Middle God Realm to the early Upper God Realm, Tang Rao had finally achieved a qualitative leap in his strength.

"Tang Rao, are you in your room?"

Another knock on the door came, but it was different from the man's in black. Tang Rao recognized the voice from outside.

"Master, what brings you here?"

The visitor was Wu Suowei, the long-seeing but never-seen elder. As he suddenly appeared beside Tang Rao again, Tang Rao felt as if he hadn't seen Wu Suowei for a century.

"I'm here to tell you something important. Eh, you've made a breakthrough, haven't you?"

Wu Suowei circled Tang Rao, feeling that something about him had changed. Sure enough, a closer look revealed that his entire aura had transformed, which was the rhythm of a breakthrough.

"Yeah, I just made a small breakthrough, why are you making such a fuss?"

Tang Rao felt that his breakthrough was nothing surprising, so why did it seem unbelievable to Wu Suowei?

"I'm not making a fuss. I'm just amazed someone like you, who fishes for three days and suns nets for two days in cultivation, could break through the Upper God Realm's barrier so quickly. It's a rare feat indeed."

Is this a compliment or an insult to Tang Rao?

"Master, I'm not as bad as you think, right?"

Although he had many matters to attend to and less time to focus on cultivation, Tang Rao's talent was there. He improved through practice; is that not acceptable?

"In my opinion, if you want to become the future Main God, your cultivation speed is indeed a bit slow. Shouldn't you have some self-criticism for being slow, considering your goal as the future Main God?"

Slow cultivation speed as a future Main God should warrant self-criticism?

Oh no, becoming an Upper God was not a matter of shame for Tang Rao; he even felt proud. He overcame such a large barrier, Wu Suowei should be praising him, not raining on his parade as soon as he arrived.

"Master, can you just tell me why you're here?"

Tang Rao didn't want to listen to Wu Suowei's ramblings any further.

"Oh, I almost forgot such an important matter. The annual Harvest Festival on North Island is about to begin. I wanted to ask if you'd be interested in coming with me?"

Harvest Festival?

Tang Rao's location, Tingzhou, belonged to West Island, and he had never been to North Island, nor heard of any Harvest Festival there.

"Master, is the North Island Harvest Festival very famous?"

It must be somewhat spectacular to attract Wu Suowei and even have him invite Tang Rao to participate.

"Ignorant, ignorant, I'm telling you, if you keep staying in Tingzhou all the time and don't see the outside world, you'll eventually be eliminated by the Divine Realm. Someone like you on the brink of elimination, don't you feel any sense of crisis?"

Wu Suowei looked at Tang Rao as if iron couldn't turn to steel.

"Master, I was just asking, don't take it seriously."
