I'm starting to lose control.

Up until now, Zhou Ziming had not been able to discern Iron Mask's cultivation level.

However, it was likely not low.

Just looking at that move earlier.

Zhou Ziming had seen it clearly.

This guy didn't simply restore those things.

Instead, he had completely condensed the patterns of those objects and finally connected them.

Zhou Ziming could finally understand.

Why everyone wanted Immortal Ascension, because Immortals were truly somewhat omnipotent.

It was just that he had not yet reached this step.

Although Iron Mask's cultivation was not low,

He didn't put on any airs.

Seeing that Zhou Ziming and the others were very curious,

He couldn't help but explain.

“The path of Dao cultivation begins from being a Mortal, followed by Qi Absorption, Spirit Fetus, Profound Communication, Spirit Forging, Void Tempering, and Dao Integration~”

“And above Dao Integration is the Immortal Mark Realm. The Immortal Mark Realm is divided into three steps: Pattern Recognition, Pattern Weaving, and Seal Condensation!”

“When the three steps merge into one, one can open up their own small world!”

“A step further is the Immortal Law Realm, which is also divided into three steps!”

“They are called Word Proclamation, Rule Usurpation, and Indestructible Core!”

“After that is Immortal Emperor. Immortal Emperor is also divided into three steps, called Dao Deciphering, Dao Creation, and Dao Casting.”

Speaking to this point, Iron Mask couldn't help but look at Zhou Ziming and the others.

“Except for this Little Calf and his human pet, you are all currently at the First Step of Immortal Pattern, Pattern Recognition. As the name suggests, Pattern Recognition means being able to recognize and distinguish the Dao Patterns of the world and the patterns of all things!”

“If you can see the patterns, you can cut the patterns. It's just that the Dao Patterns of some things are very strong; even if you can see them, you might not necessarily be able to cut them!”

“This is also based on the level of one's own cultivation.”

Then Iron Mask sighed.

“The reason why Aptitude and Comprehension Ability are often needed in the Early Stages of cultivation is because, after understanding the Immortal Mark Realm, besides one's own Aptitude, true Comprehension Ability is needed to distinguish the patterns of the world!”

“If your Comprehension Ability is lacking and you cannot clearly recognize the patterns of the world, you won't go very far in your entire life!”

“It's like among Mortals; if you can only read one article, you simply can't compare to those who are immensely learned. There might be exceptions, but such exceptions are rare!”

Iron Mask's explanation was very thorough and easy to understand.

Zhou Ziming, on the other hand, looked around.

In Zhou Ziming's perspective, almost

Everything had its own patterns.

Zhou Ziming even felt that he could easily sever these patterns.

This made Zhou Ziming fall into thought.

So, what stage am I actually at right now?

Is there no division into Early Stage or Middle Stage for the Immortal Dao Realms?

Zhou Ziming looked at Iron Mask and asked his question.

Iron Mask laughed.

“There are grades, but these grades might be different from what you think. Immortal Dao grades are measured from nine to one!”

“Ninth Grade is the lowest, and First Grade is the top!”

Zhou Ziming asked again.

“How does one determine what grade they are?”

Iron Mask explained again.

“Ninth to Seventh Grade is being able to easily recognize the patterns of all things and annihilate them at will!”

“Sixth to Fourth Grade is recognizing the flow of patterns between heaven and earth and interfering with them.”

“Third to First Grade is being able to recognize Law patterns and being able to interfere with them!”

“That Immortals can cut rivers and part seas is not just a casual saying!”

Zhou Ziming nodded.

Afterward, Iron Mask took Zhou Ziming and the others to collect their Disciple uniforms and identity tokens.

However, Iron Mask still said,

“Junior Brother Zhou, there are some things I still need to tell you!”

Zhou Ziming: “???”

Iron Mask smiled.

“It's not a big deal, it's just that every Sect has some scoundrels, and Blood Rain Tower is very free, with almost no rules, so there are even more scoundrels!”

“Although Blood Rain Tower also strictly forbids fellow Disciples from killing each other, Geniuses always have some privileges!”

Zhou Ziming frowned.

“What do you mean?”

Iron Mask said in a low voice: “You are also a Genius and have privileges; some things you can handle yourself. For the definition of a Genius, the Tower Master has special markers over there.”

Zhou Ziming showed a playful smile.

“You mean, let me go all out?”

Iron Mask nodded.

“Something like that. However, Blood Rain Tower still has some good things, so don't go destroying the entire Blood Rain Tower!”

Zhou Ziming picked his nose.

“You think too highly of me!”

Iron Mask rolled his eyes.

“Junior Brother Zhou, I am at Immortal Law Three!”

As the name implies, I saw that purple lightning of yours clearly earlier.

Even I had a sense of impending death, let alone the Disciples within the Immortal Mark Realm.

Zhou Ziming clapped at this moment.

“Holy crap, Senior Brother, you're awesome!”

Iron Mask: “...”

You mean, I say my piece and you do your thing, basically just not listening?

And Little Calf looked at Zhou Ziming with speechless eyes.

Zhou Ziming felt very helpless.

“Well, I'm used to it, I can't change it all at once!”

Iron Mask felt a bit weary.

He gave Zhou Ziming a list.

Zhou Ziming looked at the list and then nodded: “Okay, don't worry, I won't leave a single one!”

Iron Mask coughed violently.

“You misunderstood. I mean, if these people offend you, see if you can let them off; the others don't matter!”

Zhou Ziming: “...”

Iron Mask was very helpless.

“Talent is really scarce. Everyone in the Central Continent is competing for talent; it's really not easy for Blood Rain Tower to snatch these talents!”

Zhou Ziming pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“Okay, I understand!”

Actually, Zhou Ziming was also very curious.

Because Shangguan Yun had also said,

This place was very short on talent.

As long as you performed better than ordinary people, other Sects would also scramble to get you.

Even the Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace.

Right.

“Let me ask, what is the cultivation level of the Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace?”

Iron Mask was stunned for a moment.

“The Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace? She's at the Peak of Immortal Emperor Three!”

Then Iron Mask's gaze became somewhat lewd.

“You know her?”

Zhou Ziming shook his head.

“I've heard of her!”

Iron Mask smiled.

“That's true, after all, the Palace Mistress is not only an Immortal Emperor Three, but also a great beauty. Who doesn't have a few fantasies!”

Speaking of this.

Iron Mask suddenly looked at Zhou Ziming.

“But Junior Brother, why do I always feel that you might have a chance?”

Zhou Ziming waved his hand.

“I'm just a small fry. She's an Immortal Emperor; let's not have such unrealistic fantasies!”

Iron Mask nodded.

“True enough!”

Afterward, they parted ways.

Zhou Ziming followed his identity token to find his Immortal Cave.

But after arriving at the Immortal Cave, Zhou Ziming felt it was even more abstract.

Because his Immortal Cave was so dilapidated it wasn't even as good as a Mortal's house.

“This is the treatment for a Genius?”

Zhou Ziming felt as if he had been scammed.

But when Zhou Ziming walked to the center of the room and saw a house control formation within, his head couldn't help but be filled with black lines.

Because he really couldn't quite hold it together.

“First time: one hundred low-grade Immortal Crystals to upgrade to a Low-grade Immortal Manor!”

“Ninety thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals to upgrade to a Medium-grade Immortal Manor!”

“Nine million nine hundred and ninety thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals to upgrade to a High-grade Immortal Manor!”

The corners of Zhou Ziming's mouth twitched as he watched.

“Good grief, your Blood Rain Tower really knows how to make money!”
