I've made something of myself.

But he felt that he still needed to ask Zhou Ziming about this matter.

In Iron Mask's view.

If Zhou Ziming truly defeated Gu Tianhe, the Nine Palaces would be Zhou Ziming's best choice.

Moreover, someone who could defeat Gu Tianhe would be a focus of cultivation within any of the Nine Palaces.

Becoming a Core Disciple of the Nine Palaces would inevitably lead to an Opportunity to enter the White Jade Capital.

Since he had an Innate advantage, why should he sink or swim with the Blood Rain Tower?

Iron Mask voiced his thoughts.

Yun Lu shook his head.

“It's not the same!”

Yun Lu explained, “Gu Tianhe is indeed strong, but no matter how strong she is, she is only at the Immortal Pattern Second Stage. There are no mediocrities within the Nine Palaces. No matter how powerful or what kind of Prodigy Zhou Ziming is, he is a Child of Destiny—someone the Nine Palaces intend to exploit.”

“Even if Zhou Ziming enters the Nine Palaces, what he faces won't be any better than what he faces in the Blood Rain Tower!”

“Furthermore, after entering the Nine Palaces, Zhou Ziming's path will be even more difficult because there are too many powerful figures there.”

“But we are different. We are cultivating him, making concessions. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as Zhou Ziming is in the Blood Rain Tower, the Blood Rain Tower will always stand behind him. If we succeed, we will have our own resources and our own slots to enter the White Jade Capital!”

“Even if he fails, Zhou Ziming can still enter the Nine Palaces!”

“So, I say we take a gamble because there's no downside for Zhou Ziming. As for us, we need to see if we can rely on Zhou Ziming to seize a more magnificent future!”

Iron Mask fell silent.

He could only say.

The Grand Elder truly lived up to the title of Grand Elder.

Your thinking and audacity are a bit unconventional.

But it couldn't be denied.

The Grand Elder's idea was correct.

Iron Mask pondered for a moment, then said, “Alright, I will continue to look into the Phantom Palace!”

Yun Lu nodded... Secret Realm~

In fact, Gu Tianhe wasn't the only Genius who entered the Secret Realm.

It was just that among the Geniuses, Gu Tianhe was the most famous.

Geniuses from other Towers or Palaces had also been secretly sent in.

Their purpose, on one hand, was to seize some known Opportunities.

On the other hand, it was to kill everyone related to Zhou Ziming and humiliate his women.

But after those Geniuses entered the Secret Realm, things became a bit awkward.

The best way to break a person's Dao Heart is to humiliate his woman in front of him.

Even going as far as being as perverted as possible.

But after this group of Geniuses did some investigating, they discovered something.

Zhou Ziming had no women, no Dao Companion... on the contrary, he was surrounded by a bunch of grown men.

“What's going on? Didn't they say the Child of Destiny is as lustful as his life depends on it, and there must be many women around him? What's the situation now? Where are the women?”

Some people were also puzzled.

“Could it be that Zhou Ziming likes men? Or is Zhou Ziming actually a woman?”

But this idea was quickly dismissed.

Because of the news they received from the Northern Continent.

Zhou Ziming frequently visited Brothels.

His combat power was well-known even in the Brothels.

It was just that for some unknown reason, he stopped going later on.

This left those Disciples who wanted to humiliate Zhou Ziming's Dao Companion feeling helpless.

“He'd rather go to a Brothel than find a Dao Companion?”

At this time, someone waved their hand.

“Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. If there's no Dao Companion, then there's no Dao Companion. But the people around him should still be killed!”

“According to the Lord's words, the people around a Child of Destiny aren't useless either; they are people who can influence the situation in the future. If there's no Dao Companion, then kill the people around him!”

Everyone nodded and then dispersed to deal with the people from the Blood Rain Tower... Since Shangguan Yun arrived at the Secret Realm, she always felt like she was dreaming.

Because in her previous life, where would she have seen such a scene?

She never even imagined she could be so wealthy now.

Looking at the treasures inside her Spatial Ring, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

“Tsk tsk, following Old Zhou, just picking up some trash is the result of a lifetime of struggle for many people!”

Shangguan Yun sighed.

And these days, Shangguan Yun's self-confidence had also surged.

Because after some guidance from Zhou Ziming.

She had progressed rapidly in the Formless Great Dao.

Along the way, she encountered Disciples from other Towers and felt they were pitifully weak.

Killing others was as easy as killing chickens.

Shangguan Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“This time, I finally made a wise choice!”

Shangguan Yun was in a good mood.

And during this time in the Secret Realm, Shangguan Yun had also reached the Immortal Pattern Second Stage.

This made Shangguan Yun even more excited.

This was the Immortal Pattern Second Stage.

A Realm she had spent nearly a thousand years to comprehend in her previous life, and a Realm she only reached after accumulating several hundred years of family background.

Now, she had made a Breakthrough so easily.

Now that Shangguan Yun was being called Senior time and again, she was starting to lose herself a bit.

But suddenly.

A terrifying aura rushed toward Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun was stunned for a moment.

Then she immediately used Formless Transposition.

But that aura locked onto Shangguan Yun.

Before long.

Bursts of Zither music were heard.

The music contained supreme Killing Intent.

This Zither sound.

Shangguan Yun was all too familiar with it.

Fang Jing of the Pearl Tower.

“Is this aimed at me?”

Shangguan Yun found it hard to believe.

The Zither music raged.

Heaven and Earth Textures formed wind blades one after another, beginning to surround Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun was stunned.

“To my past self, this woman was an unattainable existence. After all, she later became a Prodigy Disciple and a core figure of the Treasure Palace. Now that she's specifically come to kill me, I've really made it!”

Although she said this, Shangguan Yun did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

After those wind blades rushed toward her.

Shangguan Yun directly used the Formless Great Dao to transfer all those wind blades away.

Fang Jing, who was playing the Zither in the distance, was also stunned for a moment.

“What kind of method is this?”

But then, Fang Jing was even more bewildered.

Because Shangguan Yun was also playing a Zither.

“Ding ding ding...”

The same Zither sound came, and then wind blades even more terrifying than the ones she controlled using Wind Textures attacked her!

Fang Jing hurriedly played the Zither rapidly.

Space Textures formed a shield that directly circled around her.

Shangguan Yun's wind blades all smashed against the shield without causing a single ripple.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yun had a sudden realization.

“Sure enough, fighting with a Genius is the easiest way to gain experience!”

“Is it a matter of integrating the Heaven and Earth Dao Patterns into one's own Dao, and then using one's own Dao to execute them, displaying Moves of different forms?”

Shangguan Yun closed her eyes.

Then her hands began to play the Zither continuously.

“Boom~”

As Shangguan Yun played, dark clouds gathered in the sky.

Following that.

A giant guillotine fell from the sky, slashing directly toward Fang Jing.

Fang Jing was somewhat horrified.

Because this was a Dao-Slaying Blade condensed from countless Daos of Sharp Gold.

This level of understanding and proficiency in manipulating Dao Patterns was simply not something she could defeat.

“Ding dong~”

Fang Jing played another note.

Her body instantly disappeared.

“Boom~ Crack~”

The Dao-Slaying Edge fell.

With one strike, a bottomless abyss was cleaved directly into the ground.

At this time, the Zither in Shangguan Yun's hands dissipated.

Looking at her masterpiece, Shangguan Yun's face couldn't help but flush.

“Old Zhou, I've really made it this time, I've finally stood up!”

At this moment, Shangguan Yun's confidence surged once again!
