Set off

And that wasn't all.

Now, Zhou Ziming felt as if he were repelling the low-level Spiritual Qi of the Northern Continent.

"Body, oh body, you've only just achieved Immortal Ascension. Can you please not forget your roots like this?"

Zhou Ziming felt somewhat helpless.

Little Calf laughed and spoke at that moment.

"So, you need to seal yourself off now. Not only are you repelling spiritual energy, but if even a tiny bit of your current Immortal power were to erupt, it would be enough to destroy a massive portion of this continent!"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

Then, he sealed himself off.

In an instant, Zhou Ziming returned to a state of simplicity and truth.

He looked just like an ordinary person.

When Zhou Ziming finally emerged from his secluded cultivation,

The Master of the Holy Hall looked at Zhou Ziming, completely dumbfounded.

As a Half-Immortal, he naturally understood why the current Zhou Ziming looked like an ordinary person.

But... wasn't this a bit too freakish?

You were only in seclusion for a total of three months.

In three months, you went from the Early Stage of Dao Integration directly to the Immortal Pattern Realm?

Are you even human?

The Master of the Holy Hall was on the verge of a breakdown.

"I want to be alone for a bit!"

Zhou Ziming understood perfectly.

"Yeah, if it were me, I'd want some peace and quiet too!"

Li Tang suddenly spoke up.

"Actually, after Immortal Ascension, one can perceive the patterns of the Laws of Heaven and Earth and then distinguish them. Can you distinguish them?"

Zhou Ziming simply tapped a large tree nearby with his finger.

*Crack!*

The large tree snapped instantly.

Zhou Ziming hadn't used any Immortal power, nor had he used much strength.

He had merely given it a light tap, and the tree broke.

"The first stage of the Immortal Pattern Realm: Pattern Recognition!"

Li Tang took a deep breath.

"You really are a damn freak!"

Li Tang was thoroughly impressed.

In truth, Zhou Ziming was also quite surprised by the methods of the Immortal Dao.

To the current Zhou Ziming,

All beneath Immortals were truly like ants.

It was very simple.

Immortal Patterns, Immortal Patterns.

The reason it was called the Immortal Pattern Realm

Was because after entering this Realm,

One could identify the patterns of the Laws between heaven and earth.

Take that tree just now, for example.

He had simply identified the Wood Patterns within it.

Then, by using his finger to disrupt a single point in the patterns of the Law of Wood, the tree snapped directly.

Zhou Ziming looked toward the others.

He saw the Life Law patterns on the Dao Sect Members, as well as the patterns of the Daoist techniques they cultivated.

He would only need to blow a single breath

To scatter these patterns,

Which would mean those people would vanish into thin air!

Zhou Ziming sighed at this point.

"The prestige of the Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace is still rising!"

Li Tang smiled.

"Cold Moon Palace is one of the nine great palaces of the Central Continent, so its prestige goes without saying. However, you understand now why I felt terrified when I said you could slay a Half-Immortal back then, right?"

"To put it more bluntly, it's like seeing a Teddy dog with a knife in its mouth killing an adult. That scene would make anyone's skin crawl!"

Veins popped on Zhou Ziming's forehead.

"You're the damn Teddy! Do you even know how to use metaphors? Also, how do you know about Teddy dogs?"

Little Calf secretly backed away.

Zhou Ziming was speechless.

"What kind of stuff are you guys watching every day?"

Little Calf didn't say anything, playing dumb.

Li Tang shook his head.

"That's not the point. The point is, if they saw your Dao Patterns and wanted to destroy them, they wouldn't be able to make a dent!"

"Just tell me, how freakish are you!"

Zhou Ziming sighed.

"That's only true in the Northern Continent. Once we enter the Central Continent, it'll be hard to say!"

Li Tang agreed.

In fact, entering the Northern Continent didn't mean one's cultivation was suppressed.

Rather, the Northern Continent was too remote, and the power of the Laws was incomplete there.

Therefore, the highest an Immortal coming to the Northern Continent could reach was only Half-Immortal.

Aside from some basic stats, true Immortal Dao methods couldn't be displayed here.

Zhou Ziming's expression became much more serious.

He suddenly felt that talk of a 'one-for-one trade' above the Immortal level shouldn't be thrown around lightly before actually encountering an Immortal.

They weren't in the same dimension; don't even try to compare!

————

With his cultivation increased, Zhou Ziming naturally didn't have much attachment to the Northern Continent.

He wanted to go directly to the Central Continent.

But before leaving,

Zhou Ziming still took out the medicinal herbs and Pill Formula given by the Hundred Knowledge Scholar.

He wanted to help the Hundred Knowledge Scholar with Alchemy.

When it came to Alchemy, Zhou Ziming was almost one hundred percent successful.

Even Zhou Ziming himself didn't know to what extent his Alchemy skills had been boosted by his cheat.

In any case, it felt like no matter what Medicinal Pill he refined, it was extremely simple.

Zhou Ziming held the Medicinal Pill, studying it constantly.

"What's this?"

Little Calf ran over, sniffed it, and asked.

Zhou Ziming shook his head.

"I don't know what it's called, but this pill can reshape the body. However, the Pill Formula is incomplete, so the success rate of this body-shaping effect is very low!"

Little Calf was puzzled.

"Body-shaping? All that trouble for just this?"

Zhou Ziming shook his head.

"Of course it's not that simple!"

After saying that, Zhou Ziming directly took out a figurine, crushed the pill, and merged it all into the figurine!

Immediately after, a popping sound could be heard from inside the figurine's body.

Little Calf was stunned.

He quickly ran over to observe.

Then he was somewhat shocked.

"Holy crap, this thing is growing bones inside, even if it's just a little bit!"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

"So, can you understand how Heaven-Defying this pill is now?"

Little Calf began hopping around in front of Zhou Ziming like a little deer.

"Give me two!"

Zhou Ziming naturally didn't say much and gave Little Calf two pills directly.

He kept two for himself and saved the remaining five for the Hundred Knowledge Scholar.

"Let's go, let's go have some fun in the Central Continent!"

Li Tang nodded.

Meanwhile, Little Calf followed sneakily behind Zhou Ziming.

He then used his hoof to crush a Body-shaping Pill and secretly sprinkled the powder onto Zhou Ziming's thousand illusions silk.

Having done this, Little Calf showed a devious smile.

The thousand illusions silk glowed slightly, as if expressing its thanks.

Zhou Ziming frowned.

He raised his hand and looked at the silver-white bracelet.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion,

But he felt like this thing had become quite a bit heavier.

At this moment, the Saint, who was tied to Little Calf, felt quite speechless.

Wait, you guys are going to the Central Continent, so just go. I'm only at the Middle Stage of Dao Integration; why are you bringing me along?

Fine, you're bringing me.

But you should at least bring my Xianger too.

Instead, you're not bringing Xianger and just separating us like this?

Hateful Zhou Ziming, hateful black bull.

Saint: "Wuu wuu wuu... Ptooey!"

He spat out the rag in his mouth and said, "Brother Zhou, just take Xianger with us. I promise we won't show off our affection in front of you ever again!"

Zhou Ziming shook his head: "It's not for that reason. It's really because Xianger's cultivation is too low, only at the Void Tempering stage. I really can't take her. Besides, with the people from the Holy Hall there, are you still afraid Xianger will be in danger?"

The Saint fell silent.

"Then can you untie me? I won't run!"

Zhou Ziming shook his head.

"I'm not worried about you running; I'm afraid that if we run into trouble, we can escape, but you can't!"

Saint: "..."

That actually makes a lot of damn sense.

"Then can we at least change the position? At the very least, tie me to the bull's back. What's with tying me to the bull's belly?"

Zhou Ziming looked at the Saint hugging the calf, and he felt a bit helpless too.

"I can't be blamed for that. Brother Niu doesn't like being ridden!"
