The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Fifty-six spiritual embryos began to vibrate, all being attracted by Tang Rao and coming to life.

In the Dantian world, each spiritual embryo was like a combat unit, eyeing the others with predatory intent.

"Release!" Tang Rao let out a fierce low roar, and the soul power controlling the spiritual embryos was completely released.

The moment they were released, these spiritual embryos became wildly agitated.

Nearby slaughter ensued.

Each spiritual embryo, like a ravenous demon indifferent to its choice of food, viciously pounced on the other surrounding embryos.

Devouring, obliterating, growing...

Whenever two met, a stronger one would always emerge.

The strong would devour the weak, and then become even stronger.

Of course, at this moment, Tang Rao's Spirit Root trembled with such pain that most people could never bear.

Fortunately, his Spirit Root was special, and coupled with the consolidation of the Spirit Marrow, it was as stable as a rock.

Otherwise, it would have been destroyed in the midst of this destructive creation.

As time gradually passed, Tang Rao's entire focus was submerged in the mutual devouring of the spiritual embryos.

The extinguishing of each spiritual embryo was accompanied by the growth of others.

Who knows how much time had passed, in Tang Rao's Dantian, there were only four spiritual embryos left.

Each was extremely powerful, so powerful that even Tang Rao himself was somewhat shocked.

Although he had let go of control over the spiritual embryos, Tang Rao knew very well that each of these four embryos was many times more formidable than those gathered from a hundred breaths at the beginning.

Just two more mutual killings, and the four spiritual embryos would merge into one.

"What the fuck? What's going on?" In the next moment, Tang Rao was completely baffled.

The other three spiritual embryos fought each other fiercely, while the last one stayed quietly to the side, as if watching a conflagration from across a river, motionless.

Before, these spiritual embryos had always fought in pairs. Even if one was left out, it was only because there was no matching embryo.

But this time, that one embryo, just like a person, was clearly just watching the drama unfold.

Letting the other three embryos harm and devour each other.

"Could it be that spiritual embryos have developed spiritual wisdom? Impossible..." Tang Rao frowned, somewhat bewildered.

He had never heard of spiritual embryos being able to develop spiritual wisdom, something that only occurs at the Nascent Soul Stage.

And even then, it was only a possibility, the vast majority of cultivators did not have such fortune.

However, Tang Rao had no other choice at this point but to continue watching.

The struggle between the three spiritual embryos was extremely fierce, and of course, in the end, the one who truly suffered was Tang Rao himself.

In the battle between the spiritual embryos, Tang Rao was the one paying the price.

As time went on, the battle between the three spiritual embryos was nearing its end. One was nearly destroyed, while the other two had grown significantly.

"Thud!" A dull explosion sounded as the weakened spiritual embryo was terminated.

The remaining two continued their slaughter.

"What's happening?" Tang Rao looked at the bystander embryo, feeling somewhat uneasy.

This embryo hadn't moved at all until now, which was definitely abnormal.

It was very likely that this spiritual embryo had indeed developed spiritual wisdom.

Developing an Inner Spirit at the Nascent Soul Stage was a good thing; but stimulating an Inner Spirit from a spiritual embryo during the Qi Gathering Stage was unsettling for Tang Rao, as he was unsure whether it was a good or bad occurrence.

Before long, there were only two clusters of spiritual embryos left in Tang Rao's belly.

The one that watched the play, and the one that emerged from the battle.

The difference in strength was clear.

The watching one was weaker, and much weaker at that.

"It looks like there's no hope left." Tang Rao's eyebrows twitched slightly. Whether the peculiar spirit embryo had developed spiritual wisdom or not, it was doomed to fail; too frail to be a match for the other spirit embryo.

"Are you not going to help me?" A voice suddenly came from within Tang Rao's soul.

"Damn!" Tang Rao cursed, taken aback by the shock.

It was that very spirit embryo; indeed, it had developed spiritual wisdom.

And the level of this spiritual wisdom caused Tang Rao some panic.

You see, even beings at the Nascent Soul Stage have the intelligence of newly born infants, very low indeed.

But the spiritual wisdom manifested by this spirit embryo was capable of directly conversing with him.

There must be a demon behind abnormal occurrences.

"I can't help." Tang Rao responded succinctly. Such uncertain matter, he preferred to leave undone.

Let the spirit embryo with the developed spiritual wisdom be devoured. That way, he would feel more at ease.

"You're going too far; I am a part of you!" the voice of the spirit embryo cried out again.

Tang Rao fell silent.

Truly, the manifestation of an inner wisdom essentially meant it was Tang Rao himself.

"If I can't be sure of it, I don't need it." Tang Rao shook his head, preferring to destroy this intelligence.

It was too bizarre: a spirit embryo of the Qi Gathering Realm developing spiritual wisdom was, just thinking about it, unreliable.

"You're way out of line. Without the Spirit Marrow, would I have emerged? I'm telling you, help me quickly!" the sound of the spiritual wisdom boomed loudly inside Tang Rao's head.

At that moment, the other, stronger spirit embryo had already pounced.

The disparity between them was vast; it wouldn't take more than a few breaths before the outcome was decided.

The cause of the Spirit Marrow?

Hearing this made Tang Rao hesitate.

"Spirit Marrow creates a Spirit Root, it doesn't give birth to spiritual wisdom. Bullshitting me is useless," Tang Rao declared.

"Are you stupid? I am the intelligence of the Spirit Root! If I die, you can forget about achieving the Spirit Root!" the intelligence within the spirit embryo shouted.

Tang Rao opened his mouth in disbelief. The intelligence of a Spirit Root?

I'm not well-read, don't fool me.

I have had a Spirit Root before, and it's just a constitution, good heavens, how could it also possess spiritual wisdom?

Impossible.

"Moron, your previous Spirit Root lacked spiritual wisdom, which means it was a fake, a counterfeit! A genuine Spirit Root must be combined with its spiritual wisdom. Let me tell you, those born with Spirit Roots always pair the root with the wisdom. A Spirit Root without wisdom is nothing but trash," the spiritual wisdom shared a mind with Tang Rao; whatever Tang Rao thought, it naturally knew.

"Your wisdom is too great, I'm freaking not comfortable with it, better dead. I did pretty well without the wisdom of the Spirit Root before," Tang Rao muttered.

"Spirit Root, spiritual wisdom, I am you, and you are me; we are twins, the Heavenly Dao's beloved. Can you not be so brainless?"

Tang Rao: "..."

"Up to you, but I'm telling you, if I die, you won't be able to achieve the Great Dao either. Do you know why you couldn't become a Feathered Immortal even after surviving the ninety-nine celestial tribulations all those years ago? Let me tell you, it's because your Spirit Root lacked spiritual wisdom. Your soul isn't complete, you're not perfect; you'll never become an immortal!"

Tang Rao's mind was exploding.

Indeed, back then, he transitioned the eighty-one tribulations with ease.

But after the tribulation, for five years, he made no progress, let alone perfection.

Completely unable to sense the summons of the Heavenly Dao, becoming immortal was a mere wishful thinking.

Tang Rao had always been unable to understand why. Could this be the reason?

Back in the days when his Spirit Root formed, it was devoid of spiritual wisdom; therefore... it was not perfect?

"I'm about to perish, are you going to help or not?"

Tang Rao: "..."
