Am I a pirate?

Having finished digesting the information in his mind and dealing with his body's discomfort,

Zhou Ziming prepared to end his Cultivate session.

However, Zhou Ziming was actually somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"Blood Rain Tower is truly a good place!"

Setting aside everything else, this Cultivation Technique Cliff alone was quite excellent.

This was practically his personal treasure trove.

Regardless of anything else.

Simply for the sake of this Cultivation Technique Cliff, no matter what, he couldn't let Blood Rain Tower be destroyed.

After ending his Cultivate session, Zhou Ziming stood up and left.

But he didn't go far.

He was waiting for Shangguan Yun and Li Tang.

As for Little Calf,

he simply hadn't cultivated at all.

Because he also knew his own problems.

Little Calf was waiting for Zhou Ziming.

Seeing Zhou Ziming arrive,

Little Calf directly offered Zhou Ziming a smoke.

Then he asked, "How was it?"

Zhou Ziming nodded. "Not bad. I've basically learned everything I should have!"

Little Calf nodded.

"That's good then!"

Before long, Iron Mask also finished his comprehension.

He looked at Zhou Ziming with some surprise.

"You're finished?"

Zhou Ziming: "..."

The way he said that...

Why did it sound so strange?

Zhou Ziming hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"For now, I've learned about as much as I could!"

Iron Mask looked at Zhou Ziming in silence.

Not much time passed.

Li Tang and Shangguan Yun's comprehension time also ended.

However, both of them looked somewhat dazed.

Zhou Ziming: "???"

"What's the situation with you two?"

Li Tang spoke first.

"How should I put it? It feels like we've comprehended a Cultivation Technique, but also like we haven't!"

Shangguan Yun also said,

"We indeed comprehended a method of Cultivate, but there's no sign of any Immortal Dao Cultivation Technique!"

"However, our original Cultivation Techniques seem to have upgraded into Immortal Dao techniques!"

Zhou Ziming smiled.

"That's normal. It was the same for me!"

They spoke lightly.

But Iron Mask was completely stunned.

"Wait, all of your Cultivation Techniques upgraded?"

Zhou Ziming and the others were full of questions.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Iron Mask was shocked in his heart.

What kind of Prodigies are these?

He didn't answer immediately but said, "Circulate your techniques and let me see!"

The others didn't think much of it.

They all circulated their Cultivation Techniques.

Zhou Ziming actually observed Li Tang and Shangguan Yun carefully.

Then, Zhou Ziming also became a bit confused.

Because what Shangguan Yun comprehended was a bit like a shadow of Phaselessness, but only a superficial amount.

Li Tang comprehended Nothingness, but also only a tiny bit.

But even with just a tiny bit, their techniques had all advanced to Immortal Arts.

And looking at Iron Mask's shocked expression,

it seemed that being like this was already very impressive.

Then what level would he be, having comprehended three different techniques?

Well, Zhou Ziming set a level for himself.

That would be a cheater!

Iron Mask looked at Li Tang and Shangguan Yun.

He already felt it was ridiculous enough.

Because he knew very well,

once they comprehended the embryonic form, as long as they cultivated diligently, their future achievements would be limitless.

These two could even be called Dao Seed level.

But when he saw Zhou Ziming's Cultivation Technique was plain and unremarkable,

Iron Mask was first a bit puzzled.

Then he frowned.

He didn't believe someone like Zhou Ziming would fail to comprehend a technique.

But he couldn't quite understand it.

After hesitating again and again,

Iron Mask still said, "Copy the Cultivation Technique Zhou Ziming comprehended!"

After nearly five seconds passed,

Iron Mask's throat went dry.

'Holy crap, what kind of thing did I recruit?'

Iron Mask looked at his newly upgraded Formlessness technique.

His scalp felt numb.

"This is a complete technique! This technique is enough to allow one to Cultivate all the way to Immortal Emperor!"

Iron Mask was very excited.

Of course, regarding Zhou Ziming, he decided not to work hard anymore and just cling to his thigh!

Thinking this,

Iron Mask quickly took out many Immortal Pills and gave them to Zhou Ziming and the others.

Little Calf got some too.

Even though Little Calf had no cultivation,

Iron Mask simply said, "It's fine, just treat them as snacks!"

Little Calf laughed.

"Good fellow, you know how to handle things!"

Iron Mask smiled slightly.

"I've said before, for Geniuses, not just Blood Rain Tower, but even other Sects would never be stingy!"

"If you need anything in the future, just tell me. As for your situation here, I will try my best to report it and see if I can get you even better benefits."

Zhou Ziming also smiled.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Senior Brother!"

Iron Mask waved his hand.

"It's a small matter!"

Suddenly, Iron Mask asked,

"By the way, how is your comprehension of Immortal Dao Divine Abilities? Regarding the Way of Shadow I mentioned before, I have some unique insights. Since I'm free right now, let your Senior Brother give you some pointers!"

Li Tang and Shangguan Yun didn't hesitate.

The two reached out,

and then a ball of shadows hovered in their hands.

Iron Mask took a deep breath.

'Good grief, they've even comprehended the Shadow Seed. What pointers can I even give?'

But the two of them weren't looking at Iron Mask.

They were looking at Zhou Ziming.

Because when Zhou Ziming saw their expressions, he just opened his mouth.

He wanted to say something but didn't know how.

Then he looked like he was suppressing a laugh.

Shangguan Yun then said, "Brother Zhou, you might as well not hold it in!"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

Subsequently,

everyone was submerged in darkness.

And after being submerged in darkness, they felt as if they had fallen into a swamp.

Not only that,

they gradually became unable to breathe.

*Whoosh~*

The darkness receded.

Shangguan Yun and Li Tang both breathed heavily.

Iron Mask was silent.

He remained silent for a long time.

Iron Mask couldn't help but doubt himself.

"So, you just comprehended it today, and what you came up with is this kind of Way of Shadow?"

Zhou Ziming nodded.

Iron Mask: "I see. So, is my Way of Shadow actually a knock-off?"

Li Tang was already used to this.

The reason he could enter the Immortal Mark stage so quickly

was because Zhou Ziming had helped him modify his Cultivation Technique.

So, he was actually fine with Zhou Ziming's unusual style.

But Iron Mask was different.

His heart was shattered into pieces.

He even started to doubt himself.

Mainly because

with the same Way of Shadow, what Zhou Ziming displayed was a bit different from theirs.

Even if it was different, that would be one thing,

but Zhou Ziming's Way of Shadow was more powerful.

Using the same thing but with different effects—isn't that awkward?

But whoever has the lesser power is the one who feels embarrassed.

Iron Mask then said, "Um, I suddenly had an epiphany. I'm going to comprehend a bit more. Junior Brothers, excuse me!"

After Iron Mask finished speaking, he found another place to sit cross-legged.

Then he began staring at the wall in reflection.

Li Tang and Shangguan Yun didn't mind,

because the two of them were already very satisfied with their current situation.

As for Zhou Ziming, he had been kicked out of the group chat by the two of them!

They didn't compare themselves to Zhou Ziming at all.

Li Tang had seen through it,

while Shangguan Yun comforted herself.

"A Child of Destiny, that's just how they are!"
