Judging only by how quickly he achieved Immortal Ascension, Ruthless's Brother was indeed about the same as Meng Chuan.
But that was only their speed. Once they became immortals, there was naturally no comparing their strength.
After becoming an immortal, Meng Chuan's combat power had already risen into the Immortal King Domain, and he was strong enough to roam freely within it.
Though Ruthless's Brother was now an immortal renowned for battle, his strength was still roughly on par with those who had become Red Dust Immortals after nine lifetimes.
A nine-lifetime Red Dust Immortal was no match for an Immortal King.
Only by reaching the Immortal Peak could one contend with an ordinary Immortal King and possess Immortal King Combat Power.
The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body knew this, of course. But he had not brought up Ruthless's Brother's speed to compare the two.
He simply wanted to praise Ruthless's Brother's achievement.
Achieving Immortal Ascension in a hundred thousand years was heaven-defying by any measure, and worthy of praise.
At the very least, he, a senior who was also a Sacred Body, fell far short of Ruthless's Brother.
He could also foresee that Ruthless's Brother would surpass him in the future.
"Come to think of it, perhaps you should speak with him alone," the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body said. "You did save him, after all."
"Speak with him alone? Then he'll thank me again." Meng Chuan shook his head. "You know how it is. Once is enough for a thank-you."
"Fair enough. It's your call."
Meng Chuan and the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body kept talking. They had plenty to discuss.
Eventually, Meng Chuan prepared to take his leave.
"I still think you shouldn't leave yourself with regrets at this final moment."
"After all..."
"What if you really don't come back?"
