There's something wrong with me

Chapter 228 Return
"Continue on to the target point."

call……

The three were visibly surprised.

After giving an order, Zhang Feng left the small boat and flew to quickly search for the distant waters.

This range is quite large.

Crash-

After their initial surprise, the three leaders hurriedly chased after Zhang Feng.

Furthermore, Brother Ha also possesses a spiritual energy detector that can emit a peculiar sound wave centered on a radius of fifty meters, used to explore the seascape up to three hundred meters deep.

If there is a large building containing spiritual energy below, the detector will sound an alarm.

This instrument is a simple technology that their organization developed using rune technology.

It is far from the kind of detector in reality that is so precise that it can modify 'superconducting runes'.

In reality, even without precision or superconductivity, it is possible to detect spiritual energy within a one-kilometer radius using only ordinary materials.

If we use superconductivity, plus the spiritual base station of the virtual building.

It can achieve global coverage.

Once a cultivator commits a crime, it is extremely difficult for them to hide.

Unless they are hiding in deep mountains and forests where no base stations have been built, or deep underground.

At the very least, we have to dig 50 meters, and we can't dig under the base station.

It is necessary to dig a hole at the weak point of the detection link between the two base stations.

And now.

On the sea, Zhang Feng explored, and the leader and others were also searching.

About an hour later.

The group met on a seemingly ordinary stretch of sea.

Then, night fell.

Eat a little food.

Zhang Feng jumped into the water and, without wasting his spiritual energy, formed a protective layer to isolate the nearby seawater.

Because Zhang Feng now has a deep understanding of water and has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he can easily breathe underwater.

As long as it's not in the deep sea, where the water pressure is extremely high.

Even if you breathe seawater directly into your lungs, there will be no problem.

It's important to understand that 100% internal energy, while seemingly circulating throughout the entire body, is actually a powerful force.

In reality, the source of internal strength lies in the five internal organs.

Zhang Feng's internal organs are so strong that even shooting him with a gun wouldn't damage him in the slightest.

In reality, the internal organs are made of a new type of tungsten steel, a composite material, which cannot be damaged even by sniper armor-piercing bullets.

at the same time.

With a few splashing sounds.

The leader and the others also jumped into the water, then curiously looked around and stirred the seawater with their hands.

In their experience, it felt as if they were in water, feeling the coolness of the seawater, yet able to breathe freely.

Suddenly, the various properties of the water-repelling pearl in mythology began to resurface in their minds.

"Water-repelling beads, although I have never seen them before."

Seeing that they were still thinking about this, Zhang Feng said, "But the principle is similar to that of this talisman."

Done.

Zhang Feng continued downstream.

But what is called a swim is actually a descent like a 'thousand-pound drop'.

Zhang Feng remained standing throughout.

Huhu—

The leader and the others swam obediently, their eyes fixed on the dark seabed.

They could see nothing in their field of vision.

However, as long as Master Zhang kept going down, they obediently followed.

It also helps with the water-avoidance talisman.

Ten meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters.

They continued to descend without any discomfort, nor did they feel any compression or buoyancy.

Swimming was relatively easy, similar to walking normally.

As Zhang Feng saw that they were almost there, he looked up at the three people who were still swimming as usual.

They were head down, in a diving position.

“The water-repelling talisman has another function,” Zhang Feng said calmly. “You don’t actually need to swim; you can submerge by maintaining a standing position.”

"Master Zhang..."

"Uh……"

The three of them were speechless, and their swimming motions stopped.

I even want to ask if Master Zhang deliberately saw them as ugly ducklings.

They were both amused and exasperated by this.

But I also feel that Master Zhang seems to have really changed?
To be honest, Zhang Feng did it on purpose, and he didn't have any other intentions. He was just having fun with his friends and trying to make them laugh.

The open path ahead to becoming a deity, along with the ease in his mind, made Zhang Feng feel much more relaxed.

As we continue to approach the seabed.

We arrived at a depth of three thousand meters.

Following the location indicated on the treasure map, Zhang Feng and his companions entered a hidden underwater cave.

The tunnel is about half a mile long and slopes downwards.

After passing through, we arrived at another unique underwater cave.

Although the area is still filled with seawater, it is illuminated by sea lanterns.

When the three of them saw a large palace covered with seaweed on the flat seabed, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

Because apart from this palace, the surrounding area was densely packed with tombs.

There are still many characters on it that have not been eroded by seawater.

They looked closely for a long time and found that a small portion of the deceased were from the Heavenly Palace, while the majority were from the Underworld.

Although most of them are nameless, the graves of the deceased in the underworld bear inscriptions such as "Asura Realm" and "Heavenly Realm".

The Heavenly Palace, on the other hand, has names and surnames, but none of them are people I've ever heard of.

Crash-

Around these tombs and palaces, there were also some small fish swimming among them.

It was very quiet here, without any human voices, suggesting that the Heavenly Palace had been in decline for a long time.

But it is precisely this unspoken silence and the passage of time, along with these mythical underwater structures, that make it so remarkable.

This stark contrast is what gives them the most powerful shock.

"pity."

Unlike the shock felt by the three people.

Zhang Feng sighed, and amidst their curiosity, he said:
"If we give Master Yangshan more time, it might not be the Heavenly Palace at the bottom of the sea, but the real Heavenly Palace in the Western Sea."

Within Zhang Feng's spiritual consciousness, he could see that the palace was filled with rune grooves.

However, Master Yangshan did not continue making arrangements.

Zhang Feng was curious about this, and he carefully examined the various condensed runes left on the palace walls to find the reason.

"Taoist Master..." Brother Ha was puzzled, as he couldn't see the talismans.

Not only him, but the other two also didn't understand Master Zhang's exact meaning.

Seeing the three people's curiosity, Zhang Feng ignored them and searched for a while before pointing to the surroundings of the palace and saying:

“There are deliberately left gaps in the talismans around the palace.”

If I'm not mistaken, Master Yangshan intended to keep this as a future inscription for a talisman related to flight.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Feng waved his hand, and the seaweed around the palace disappeared, revealing the beams corroded by seawater, which indeed contained grooves resembling those of a magical artifact.

"As expected..." The three of them had seen similar wall structures in the underworld, including the interior of the Suppressing Evil Seal, which also had this structure.

As for the structure of the walls of the underworld, they are those inscribed with water-related talismans.

They were complete novices in cultivation at first, but now, thanks to Zhang Feng's explanations, they not only understand talismans but also how to inscribe spiritual artifacts.

"What did the Taoist priest mean by saying there wasn't enough time?"

Perhaps it's because Zhang Feng's demeanor has changed so much that the boss dared to raise the question he just asked.

"Not enough time means he didn't live long enough." Although Zhang Feng hadn't found the body suspected to be that of Yangshan Zhenren, he knew from the legacy he left behind that Yangshan Zhenren had died young.
"To create a celestial spectacle, a great deal of calculation is required."

However, Master Yangshan's cultivation level was not high, and his lifespan was naturally insufficient to support him in conducting such large-scale celestial palace calculations.

As Zhang Feng spoke, he also roughly determined Yangshan Zhenren's cultivation level based on the talismans in the palace.

"His cultivation level is most likely at the peak of the Golden Core stage."

Although someone at this level could use spiritual energy to support this palace.

However, they wanted to borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a floating palace with its own circulating structure, and build a complete dynamic parallel structure.

In my opinion, at the very least, one needs to reach the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Only by achieving the Divine Transformation stage can one further refine and perfect the Heavenly Palace runes, ultimately achieving a self-sustaining cycle within the Heavenly Palace.

When Zhang Feng said these words, his tone was very certain; he wasn't just using some words to intimidate them.

Because Zhang Feng has done a lot of research on this.

In reality, part of interstellar warships utilizes the acceleration and levitation principles of wind-elemental runes.

Of course, the current reality is not perfect, because it requires high-power quantum computing to evolve.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Even with good luck, it would take four or five years to research.

After all, the warships stretched for dozens of kilometers, resembling a city, and were simply too massive.

Even though it relies more on other technologies, runes, as an effective support point, still require a high level of computing power.

This is something no one person can do. Not even Yangshan Zhenren, the founder of Rune Technology.

Unless Yangshan Zhenren reaches the Nascent Soul stage, his control will be even greater.

Then, only when the cultivator draws the talisman can the 'cheating' be achieved, as the talisman itself 'coordinates and balances the microscopic level'.

As I said before, when a cultivator draws talismans, it's just like a person eating. It may seem like just 'fingers' picking up chopsticks, but the related 'body cells' are all coordinating.

However, in old terms, this cultivator's method of drawing talismans was described as 'knowing how, but not why.'

What Zhang Feng is doing now is trying to understand all the basic principles involved.

However, for the three people, including Brother Ha, who were deep in thought and awe, they were already quite impressed by what Master Zhang said about "transformation of spirit, dynamics, and basic principles and structure."

Because they genuinely understand a bit about it, and they know that this combination of academic knowledge seems to actually be able to bring the myth back to life?

Anyway, they don't know if it can be reproduced.

All they know now is that Master Zhang seems to know everything.

They even felt that if they gave Master Zhang some time, he could make the 'Dragon Palace' float into the sky.

In reality, Zhang Feng is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he cannot do it.

Even for someone at the Golden Core stage, it would be difficult.

Even though his current 'diversity of techniques' has surpassed that of Master Yangshan.

But even with enough knowledge, you still don't have enough skills.

Or rather, it's because I don't have enough knowledge.

If you have enough knowledge, you might be able to achieve godhood in one step at the start of the game, followed by the earth rising up and the creation of a celestial palace.

……

Afterwards, take a walk around this heavenly palace.

Because my spiritual awareness is now high enough, it's not like the 'blindness at the start' in the underworld.

Therefore, Zhang Feng finished reading it at a glance.

Overall, it's similar to the underworld in that it's in a state of ruin.

However, its construction specifications are quite interesting, as it has no 'foundation'.

Below were also rows of talismans.

Seeing this situation.

Zhang Feng was even thinking that if he didn't want the data center to be underground anymore, he could completely use this kind of celestial palace structure to realize the 'Jade Palace in the Sky'.

This sounds like a massive undertaking.

But it doesn't actually take much effort.

First, many staff members can create runes; they have this skill.

Subsequently, the principle of interstellar warships included levitation technology.

If we can figure it out, let alone floating data centers.

Even making a city float wouldn't be a problem.

These are all theoretically feasible and easy to do.

The technological capabilities of the real world have reached a level beyond imagination.

It can certainly be called the 'Cultivation Era'.

……

Three hours later.

Zhang Feng spent some time thinking as he accompanied his boss and the others on a tour of the palace.

As for the talismans on the wall, they were not allowed to touch them.

Zhang Feng gave them a copy, and they could take it back to report.

Otherwise, they've helped us for so long and spent so much time and resources; we can't just leave them with nothing, can we?
However, the unknown creature has still not been found.

But Zhang Feng also used his real strength to show the three of them.

Once you have enough strength and have seen the Heavenly Palace, there will be no problem solving the mystery.

We could easily take them for a stroll around the Heavenly Palace.

As for the traps and mechanisms along the way, as well as the deadly moves made with spiritual energy.

Zhang Fengzhi stepped over it.

These are trivial matters and not worth going into detail.

Furthermore, if it weren't for the fear of disrupting the harmonious structure of the Heavenly Palace...

Zhang Feng actually wanted to reinforce and renovate the Heavenly Palace.

But once it's reinforced or modified, it's no longer the original Heavenly Palace.

In this regard.

Zhang Feng gave up.

……

After the trip to the Heavenly Palace.

After bidding farewell to Brother Ha and the other two, Zhang Feng did not go anywhere else, but instead began to meditate and recuperate in the underworld.

The purpose is twofold: first, to organize the subsequent knowledge of the Heavenly Palace and to digest the cohesive structure of various elements.

Secondly, let's see if that 'unknown creature' will appear.

Especially now that the level has reached a higher level.

Zhang Feng also saw more, knowing that four miles away from the underworld, there were some creatures underground that would astonish the world.

Those are some giant prehistoric insects that are still alive today.

They are now living in a vast underground forest, drawing upon the invisible spiritual energy emanating from the underworld.

It also contains runes from Yangshan Zhenren, which reinforce the surrounding area.

Zhang Feng saw all this but did not disturb them.

However, it was deduced that the rather large unknown creature was perhaps one of the creatures that had escaped, wandered around the maze-like pool for a while, and then climbed back in.

Around the rock face, there are tunnels dug by insects leading to this pool of water that emits water.

But now that I'm suppressing them, I won't let them come up.

This can be considered a relatively natural preservation of the 'Carboniferous and Giant Insect Age'.

Furthermore, there are some dinosaurs among them, making it a small collection of 'prehistoric civilizations'.

Perhaps, the Great King Yama of that time discovered these small insects and animals, and out of compassion, built the underworld here.

After all, if these creatures had escaped in ancient times and were nourished by spiritual energy, developing intelligence, they could indeed have wreaked havoc on the region.

However, it is precisely through these living beings that...

Zhang Feng had a conjecture: the biotechnology of the Great Yama might be based on these biological modifications.

to this end.

In the second year and July after I came into this world.

Zhang Feng contacted his boss again and asked him to send some biological research instruments.

Zhang Feng wants to analyze the genes of these giant insects and dinosaurs, or at least copy them.

With their own knowledge of genes and biology, they can accurately recreate the analyzed gene chain information in reality.

In this way, let's not talk about building a Jurassic Park in reality, or about delegating the operation to super-organizations and letting them use the park to generate profits for the data center.

To put it simply, the Great Yama might use prehistoric genes as a sample for biological modification.

So when prehistoric creatures reappear in reality and biotechnology is studied, at least there is a definite source.

It's like knowing the basics of this bioengineering technology.

This is very important for the foundation, as it can not only eliminate most of the side effects of forcing growth, but also accelerate the advancement of biotechnology research.

It's like giving an ordinary person who hasn't studied math or physics a piece of explosives and asking them to replicate it—that would definitely be difficult.

However, if you give an ordinary person a table of explosives and elements, and let them understand the principles before manufacturing them, it will be much simpler, and they can also create a better mixture of explosives.

What Zhang Feng is looking for now is the source.

Furthermore, they believe the source should be these prehistoric creatures, because the appearance of that hungry ghost lizard is similar to some prehistoric lizards.

During the research process.

Zhang Feng discovered something that he couldn't quite describe.

That is, there was a human grave here, but it has been destroyed by these prehistoric creatures.

The skeleton remained firmly in the soil, surrounded by earth-elemental talismans that drew upon the earth element of the entire land and stabilized the entire forest.

Furthermore, based on the inscriptions on the tomb fragments and the talismans in the forest.

Zhang Feng was certain that the owner of this skeleton was Yangshan Zhenren.

He came here after his death to suppress this place.

In addition, the Great Yama is also suppressing this place.

Zhang Feng felt that this must be the eighteenth level of hell under the six realms of reincarnation.

It's interesting just to think about it.

Yangshan is in the town, and so is the Great Yama.

I am now in the town in order to decipher and explore the mystery.

Yangshan saw the remains of the Great Yama more than seven hundred years later.

It had been more than seven hundred years since I last saw Yangshan.

Countless coincidences—this may be the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld.

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that he and Yangshan Zhenren seemed to have been tricked by the Great Yama, and both of them had some reason to stay and help him continue to guard the area.

Of course, all of this requires having the necessary strength, a kind heart, and the ability to solve the mystery in order to get here.

But precisely because of her desire to solve the mystery and her kind heart, she also entered the cycle of reincarnation of Yama, the Great King of Hell.

Zhang Feng felt something was wrong. This calculation of 1,500 years must have meant he had comprehended some kind of future rule.

Or perhaps it's a deliberate arrangement of words to help one understand reincarnation.

For a while.

Zhang Feng also accurately understood that the 'fate' in this cycle, and the phenomenon that conforms to the 'rules of the future,' are the ultimate rewards of this world.
