There's something wrong with me

Chapter 227 A Sudden Enlightenment That Came Naturally

By noon that day, news about Mr. Yin's company had spread across various online forums.

Zhang Feng's actions were so blatant, especially in a busy downtown area, that it was impossible for thousands of people to see him, let alone hide it.

It's impossible to shut them all down.

The content of the posts also largely revolves around 'divine intervention' and 'acting on behalf of Heaven'.

One of the most popular posts was even more direct.

The post reads, "The man surnamed Yin has committed countless evil deeds; Heaven has come to take him away!"

This post was the most popular on a major website.

Many netizens learned the whole story and the entire process here.

Because the person who posted the message was not only a citizen outside the company, but also had a clear camera with him that day.

When the 'earthquake' struck, he was initially surprised, then turned his camera on the company.

It's a simple record of the whole process, including some of the scenes of Zhang Feng's miraculous actions.

After all, Zhang Feng was in the company lobby, where some escaped company personnel and company decorations were used as cover.

The person who posted this message was filming outside, feeling both scared and excited.

He was afraid, and indeed he didn't dare go in, so he didn't get a full picture.

He was both scared and excited, and didn't want to leave.

But it was precisely his filming that captured the final scene of Zhang Feng soaring through the air.

This also sparked the biggest wave of comments in the post.

Some people say it's for a movie shoot, while others say it's real.

But as people posted pictures of the company being placed under martial law, blood-stained white sheets and corpses were also brought out.

Everyone believed it, but before they could even exchange a few words, the post was deleted.

The internet, even for the elderly, is subject to strong censorship.

Because of Zhang Feng's incident, it has been reported to a very high level.

Moreover, Zhang Feng's methods, these miraculous techniques, have led many to re-examine the world.

Do gods really exist?

They were puzzled, but the facts told them that gods really exist, and they act on behalf of Heaven by 'exterminating entire families'.

In addition, these incidents caused a great deal of trouble, and the bad guys in the area simply couldn't control them.

People and things related to Boss Yin were immediately investigated.

A special investigation team was immediately launched.

This includes a new round of investigations and searches for criminals in various regions.

……

Half a day later.

Outside the residential area where tomb raiders live.

despair-

The door of a taxi opened.

Unlike the dramatic changes in other places.

Zhang Feng then flew and traveled by car, crossing hundreds of kilometers to return.

Even taking off only involved flying over one city.

Most of the time, Zhang Feng would sit in the car and look at this 'Heavenly Palace Map'.

It is composed of an unknown animal skin and animal hair mixture.

The book is made of leather, and the fur is sewn together to form words and pictures.

Anyway, it looks pretty abstract.

Zhang Feng had been reading it the whole way, but he couldn't quite understand it. Not wanting to waste his brainpower, he simply came to ask his boss and the others for help to decipher it.

Because the 'map' of the underworld is also of this type.

Zhang Feng felt that this must be an unconventional riddle.

Zhang Feng had never really studied this area in detail.

After all, there's no need to delve into the intricacies of these riddles that are unique to the question setter.

But now we need to learn from it, because it happened a second time.

It seems that both Yama and Yangshan Zhenren enjoy these kinds of 'riddles'.

So, after you've learned it, what if you encounter similar puzzles to those of Yangshan Zhenren and Da Yanluo in the future?

You don't need anyone else to get started quickly.

Zhang Feng learns knowledge in this way: when faced with obscure knowledge, he only studies it after confirming its usefulness.

This can greatly reduce the pressure of studying and allow for better focus on mainstream research topics.

Zhang Feng, like Xiao Lou of Superconducting Technology, has now begun to utilize all his accumulated knowledge to form a specialized "mind drill" after digesting all his previous knowledge.

Of course, this is a pattern that normal people cannot learn, because when a person is studying something, they will more or less think of other more comprehensive factors, which will eventually distract them.

However, Zhang Feng already had other knowledge as a foundation, so he could focus on one main task without being distracted.

This is also because as Zhang Feng gets closer and closer to the Nascent Soul stage, his mind and spirit naturally become more focused.

This gave Zhang Feng some insight: the true self might just be 'one self'.

……

Upon entering the house, the map was given to the eldest brother.

The eldest brother looked at Master Zhang with alarm.

He had naturally seen the news online.

But he hadn't expected Master Zhang to be so 'powerful' and so direct.
Instead of sending them on their way, he went straight to their door in broad daylight, alone, and beheaded the entire family.

Considering Master Zhang's strength, it seems he could act with impunity.

He also knew that Master Zhang, who seemed amiable, was actually a great cultivator who regarded life as worthless.

However, he was also curious about one thing.

That means that two years ago, Master Zhang could still see the appearance of a 'person'.

At least when they were going down into the pit, they were still climbing the wall step by step.

But now, it can fly, and it's becoming more and more like a deity.

……

Giving the map to the bosses was definitely the right thing to do.

Because they had experience analyzing maps of the underworld, they quickly got the hang of it.

In addition, the tomb raiders mentioned the words "West Sea".

then.

Ten days later.

Brother Ha can be fairly certain that this place is about 3,000 nautical miles from the West Sea.

However, these are coordinates given on a map, which are a very abstract starting point from the sea, so they are somewhat vague.

However, if we take the land as the starting point, then it is on the edge of the Jiu Province of the Xia Dynasty, and then 900 kilometers to the west.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and Brother Ha and others are quite skilled at deciphering and understanding information about ancient ruins.

Zhang Feng has also been studying these past few days.

Not only this 'fur map', but also some knowledge about exploring ruins should be noted down first.

Once we integrate more real-world data and take into account the tomb raiding techniques of various schools, we can proceed.

It can basically achieve 'intermediate level of ruin decryption'.

This is basically enough.

If that's not enough, we'll talk about it later.

In any case, as long as there are related puzzles in the adventure world, there must be someone in the adventure who can solve them.

It's just that once you've mastered it yourself, it will be relatively faster, and you won't need outsiders.

If you don't learn it, just like now, you'll not only need some time, but you'll also need some people to help you.

Generally speaking, you either use your experience to buy time, or you spend time to buy experience.

But as one's understanding and thinking become more sophisticated, one learns faster.

Therefore, Zhang Feng mostly decided to learn these miscellaneous subjects 'later'.

In this way, ten days of study time can perhaps be compressed into one day.

Of course, if you use a strong "future" mindset to study your main subject, you will naturally learn very quickly.

A mainstream problem that takes ten days to solve might be solved in a single day.

Therefore, Zhang Feng also came to the conclusion that there is no shortcut to learning.

There are only 'first' and 'last'.

This discovery, coupled with finding the approximate location of the Heavenly Palace, completely slowed down Zhang Feng's two years of impatience, and his progress in the Nascent Soul stage increased by 1%.

It seems that there is something to learn in every aspect of life.

The questions that come to mind unintentionally in life may be new insights that were previously unconstrained.

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that he had always thought he had learned enough, but now he found that he still hadn't learned enough.

This includes myself in the past few years, and even the past few decades.

He may seem to be hiding his true intentions before emerging from seclusion, and he is eager for stability, but in reality, he has an arrogance in his heart and a feeling of looking down on everyone.

However, this disdain means excluding the honored guests and Master Yangshan.

Arrogance is also a new experience.

I only realized it without even noticing, and only belatedly did I realize that I had been arrogant.

……

Two days later, in the morning.

Zhang Feng and his two brothers rode together in an old-fashioned minivan to Jiu Province, 3,000 kilometers away.

On the bus again.

Apart from the driver.

The person in the front passenger seat was Zhang Feng, who would occasionally glance at the back seat where he was resting with his eyes closed.

Even Brother Ha and Brother Zhou, who were in the middle seats, occasionally glanced at Zhang Feng.

But now they are not surprised by what happened to Boss Yin a dozen days ago; instead, they feel that the Taoist priest has changed a bit today.

As for what has changed, they don't know.

"Arrogance, for me, is a hidden quality." Zhang Feng, however, knew perfectly well where he had changed. That was his "temperament."

If I used to be natural and easygoing, now I am even closer to nature, and I have lost my easygoing nature.

My past affability was perhaps an unconscious attempt to conceal my inner demon of arrogance, a subconscious act of "pretending".

Zhang Feng felt that this was very likely.

And I also know that.

If I can reach the Nascent Soul stage, then I can immediately begin to fuse with the 'Deity Transformation' stage.

Because my mindset is already relatively perfect at the moment.

There was no flaw.

Then it is possible to try to merge spiritual thoughts with the golden elixir.

This also explains why it might be difficult for ordinary cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But for me personally, spiritual thought is making 'progress'!

It is the concretization of thought.

It is simply a concrete representation, not something as ethereal as a 'Nascent Soul'.

This is a shortcut to skipping levels.

Zhang Feng was cultivating in reverse, first cultivating his mind and spirit.

In the normal way of cultivating immortality, this shouldn't be the case.

But that's exactly the case now, coupled with their very solid foundation.

When the time comes, I will accumulate knowledge and experience, and success will come naturally.

However, Zhang Feng also knew that he possessed powerful spiritual sense, a powerful nascent soul, and a powerful golden core.

To merge into the Nascent Soul stage will probably be a slow and gradual process.

To be honest, we don't know how long the estimated time will be.

However, I have already reached about 90% of the Nascent Soul stage, and I can break through in reality.

What if reality adds more time, and the growth time in the level 8 world is a little longer?

Then perhaps it will be possible to try to touch the 'Void Cave' within the level 8 Nascent Soul world.

To paraphrase Brother Wang She, this leap is 'Fuck you, this is fucking outrageous! Are you trying to kill everyone else?'

But there's nothing I can do. I focused all my energy on studying, and this is how things turned out.

Besides, to be honest, if you don't study hard, you won't be able to get past many of the initial stages.

After overcoming the initial difficulties, it was only natural that he would experience hardship before enjoying success.

Zhang Feng now views these matters with a calm mind, and his only goal is to reach the Divine Transformation stage as soon as possible and then achieve the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi.

The cultivation realms are calculated based on the Golden Core world and previous cultivation worlds.

It refers to the stages of Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Transformation, and Tribulation Transcending.

Zhang Feng is currently practicing this system.

If anything else happens in the future, then we'll merge it.

Just like modern biotechnology and rune technology, they are actually a completely different system.

But it was also absorbed by itself, and all of it was incorporated into the cultivation of immortality.

Even spiritual thoughts are first categorized under cultivation and follow the cultivation system.

Ten spiritual thoughts are enough, which is also my current limit. I can divide them up if I need more, but I won't be able to control them.

It's better to keep practicing and increasing the basic thinking values ​​within the ten spiritual thoughts, as well as the basic values ​​of the spiritual energy that can be mobilized and contained.

When things are beyond our control, repairing the foundation and laying the groundwork is always the right thing to do.

Moreover, this can also enhance one's control over the microscopic world, and through more subtle observation, optimize one's own functional structure, spell structure, and the entire cultivation system.

It can be considered a kind of 'overall coordination'.

The divine is in control of everything; it can reach the point where the divine is the commander-in-chief of the body's three armies within the essence, energy, and spirit.

……

Three days later, at noon.

We've arrived at the seaside of the West Sea.

A salty sea breeze blew in, temporarily suppressing Zhang Feng's frantic studying over the past few days.

Then, as my vision and spiritual awareness focused, I looked at a few tourists and small boats on the beach.

To be honest, Zhang Fengzhen felt like she was in another world.

The short ten days of practice and focused contemplation felt like more than a decade of time.

It can really create a huge sense of disconnect in people under certain circumstances.

"Master Zhang, I'll go rent a boat..."

At this moment, the eldest brother and his group did not feel any sense of separation, but instead went to the beach to rent a boat with great interest.

Including this exploration of the Heavenly Palace, Zhang Feng only brought the three of them.

Firstly, to repay their efforts in deciphering the mystery and searching for the heavens, we will show them the Heavenly Palace they have longed to see.

Secondly, with fewer people, it's easier to take care of them.

As for the dozen or so security guards, they remained in Qiqihar City, awaiting official questioning.

After all, Zhang Feng did such a thing and didn't try to hide his appearance.

The authorities have enormous power; they will definitely investigate the mountain village, and then follow the clues to Qiqihar City, and so on.

These people can act as intermediaries, first explaining to the authorities that they have no malicious intent.

Anyway, Zhang Feng had already arranged everything he could think of, given the large number of smart people in the organization.

This also resulted in Zhang Feng not seeing any official personnel along the way.

Of course, it's also possible that the authorities haven't found it yet.

Ultimately, the technology these days is underdeveloped.

Since Zhang Feng doesn't show his face when he's in a car, and cameras aren't widespread, it's difficult for the authorities to find out his exact whereabouts.

It's a good thing that we're not in contact now.

Zhang Feng was also able to relax, so he sat on a rock by the sea and watched the three of his older brothers go to rent a boat.

Then, about ten minutes later...

A small boat with a cabin, about nine meters long and three meters wide, was rented.

But it wasn't the kind of scratched one; it was made of wood.

It has a steel hull and an engine.

Snore—

Then, as the engine started, several buckets of engine oil were lifted onto the boat.

The three of them took turns driving the boat.

They all have experience in sailing and navigation.

After all, they are people who specialize in studying ancient ruins, some of which are located at the bottom of the sea.

They naturally wanted to learn how to drive such ordinary small boats.

at the same time.

Zhang Feng sat on the edge of the boat, feeling the sea breeze while using his spiritual sense to explore every small body of water they passed.

To prevent the underwater palace from collapsing and causing its contents to scatter.

Five hours passed by in this way without anyone noticing.

It was already evening.

The wind from the western sea in early autumn is a bit damp and cold for most people.

Zhang Feng also knew that the geography of this world was somewhat different from reality, so he drew three protective talismans for the three of them.

It is a combination of the small strokes in '聚火' and '驱风', which together amount to 0.8 strokes.

But what's amazing is that it can both resist cold and wind and provide warmth.

Zhang Feng can already use them in combination, but it's mostly the virtual building and superconducting calculations that bring him knowledge of the spiritual energy mixed structure.

The three eldest brothers, unaware of this, felt that Master Zhang knew everything.

Because they had also seen those water-attribute runes left by Yangshan Zhenren, and through Zhang Feng's explanation, they learned about some cultivation systems.

Therefore, they mostly thought that Master Zhang only knew the talismans left by his predecessors, but they did not expect that Master Zhang could innovate and create something new.

Such a genius in cultivation is beyond their comprehension.

In some ways, they even compare Zhang Daoren to the legendary "Yangshan Zhenren" and "Da Yama".

In the eyes of the elders, Master Zhang was likely to become a 'mythical figure' of today, creating mythical architecture.

"We're almost at the target area. Get ready."

Zhang Feng showed no intention of building a house; instead, he drew three more talismans.
"This talisman is a combination of water-repelling and normal spirit-gathering."

Zhang Feng gave them the talismans and, considering their willingness to cultivate, explained them to them:

"This will ensure that you will not be squeezed or drown when you jump into the sea."

Furthermore, the Spirit Gathering Talisman can also extract non-attribute spiritual energy from seawater to temporarily act as oxygen.

This way, ordinary people can also swim in the sea.

"You can breathe underwater?" The eldest brother held the talisman in his hands, his face showing amazement. "Master Zhang, we can understand your talisman, but... isn't this talisman the water-repelling bead from mythology?"

"Yes..." Brother Zhou was also surprised, "You...can make water-repelling beads?"

"Doesn't this mean..." Brother Ha was also extremely surprised and expressed their deepest thoughts, "If you fill a house with these symbols and sink it into the deep sea, normal people can still live here."

This...this is the 'Dragon Palace of the East Sea' from mythological dramas? And also...the Heavenly Palace?"

The three of them believed that the reason the Heavenly Palace could be located in the water was because there were probably 'heavenly soldiers and generals' living inside.

So there's a high probability that there's a 'mysterious building' that avoids water.

Furthermore, they now have a better understanding of the heavenly soldiers and generals, knowing that those people cannot be the 'immortals' from mythology.

From this perspective, to build a heavenly palace, one must have a 'water-repelling artifact' so that these people can live there for an extended period of time.

'The Taoist priest can actually build a heavenly palace...'

They now know that Master Zhang has reached the level of those two ancient immortals.

They also used the 'background information' they had previously learned.

They also knew that Master Zhang was only thirty-seven years old.

At thirty-seven years old, he had already reached the heights of figures from ancient mythology.
