There's something wrong with me

Chapter 241 100% Nascent Soul Transformation!

We left the town.

Where can I find the Xuan Yun Sect?

Zhang Feng really didn't know.

However, along the way, Zhang Feng still followed his previous plan, releasing his spiritual sense to observe the fortunes of various pedestrians on the road.

On the one hand, it's also a way to find those two thieves from yesterday.

Someone was looking for you yesterday.

While observing, Zhang Feng also glanced at the notorious thief following him about seven or eight meters behind him.
"I haven't asked yet who you've offended."

Zhang Feng wanted to find some clues from the deeds of the notorious thief.

This way, we can make a careful judgment.

If those two weren't really thieves, but were just looking for trouble.

Dealing with them sooner rather than later can reduce some trouble.

After all, one's spiritual awareness isn't active 24/7, and one's 'fundamental' physical constitution isn't particularly strong.

It would be hilarious if they suddenly attacked you while you were sleeping in the wild.

To those two, Zhang Feng is now more like a low-health archer unleashing his ultimate burst of power.

He could finish off both of them head-on in one fell swoop, or he could finish them off in a sneak attack.

After Zhang Feng asked the thief a question, the thief didn't speak, but subconsciously followed Zhang Feng.

He was still clutching the package Zhang Feng had given him, and he seemed completely distracted.

He was still reeling from the shocking methods the old man had used just over ten minutes earlier!

Of course, regarding Zhang Feng's later statement, "The world is vast, and I own a piece of it,"...

He disagreed.

But he didn't dare openly say to Zhang Feng, "A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, and with such trashy aptitude as an old Foundation Establishment cultivator, dares to claim you have a place in the world? You old fool, you have quite the nerve!"

These are the words that the master thief really wanted to say.

After all, he had been ordered around for so long. If his own strength hadn't been suppressed and his life and death hadn't been out of his control, why would he have kowtowed to Zhang Feng?
And so it was, amidst fear, discomfort, and a mix of all sorts of ulterior motives.

The thief was feeling extremely distressed at that moment.

But instead of bringing him harm, his luck actually increased by '3.5!'

at the same time.

After seeing that he didn't reply, Zhang Feng also observed his luck.

It seems that his luck also increases as his strength improves.

It looks like a kind of 'real-time monitoring'.

The world's rules are based on real-time circumstances, and then an individual's fortune is judged.

Rather than the world's rules knowing from the beginning that something was wrong and then giving a final value.

In other words, when one becomes a deity in the future, that will be someone else's 'peak of fortune'.

As for why the rules seem to know everyone's murderous intent, it's like having a 'precognition' about the 'future'.

In Zhang Feng's opinion, when a person exudes murderous intent, their entire body's functions will be slightly adjusted.

Furthermore, since spiritual thoughts can be materialized, it proves that the rules can perceive the spirits of some people and know who these people are plotting to kill.

Then, based on the strength of both sides, corresponding changes in fortune are made.

Even this 'mind-reading' technique is not difficult to achieve.

Because Zhang Feng had used mind-reading on Lao Liu in the real world and could see his thoughts.

At the same time, the world's rules regarding the judgment of 'real-time fortune' also deepened Zhang Feng's understanding of the rules of cause and effect.

Simply put, of the three—past, future, and present—the present is the most important.

The past is fixed and cannot be changed, while the future is in the changes of the present.

Only what is happening now, and the people taking action now, can serve as the basis for judging the future.

It's not that having some immortal memories or grand plans guarantees high fortune.

If I don't put these things into practice now, or if I don't take action, or if I get killed, then my 'future' fortune will be 'reset to zero'.

Thinking about this, Zhang Feng felt that the rules were clearly expressed, but they were also an old-fashioned philosophical question.

but.

Now that Zhang Feng has grasped the rules of talismans, and based on his deductions about the principles of world rules, he has gained many new insights.

The most obvious change is that Yili's spiritual awareness has increased by another 1%.

This reflects a deeper understanding of how the Heavenly Dao operates, leading to an increase in the power to calculate the rules.

Furthermore, based on his steadily increasing strength over the past few days, Zhang Feng suddenly made a discovery.

That is a very profound question, seemingly difficult to solve, but once a small opening is made, a continuous stream of knowledge will flow out from there.

It's similar to previous real-world superconductivity problems; there's just no clue whatsoever.

However, once a theoretical breakthrough is achieved, continuous breakthroughs can be made and researched quickly, leading to continuous improvements across all industries.

This includes Z1, as well as virtual technology, internal energy transformation, and the current rules of cause and effect, etc.

All you need is a gap.

A few days ago, Zhang Feng had already created an opening.

By drawing inferences from similar cases, Zhang Feng can now be certain that his theory, which he has been deducing forward, is correct.

Otherwise, their strength wouldn't have increased continuously.

This can be seen as a form of reverse reasoning, leading to the conclusion that one's own path is correct.

To paraphrase the scientific community, 'cultivation is about repeated verification'.

Zhang Feng is now moving forward with what appears to be bold speculation, but in reality, he is cautiously experimenting.

So that instead of the 'demon in people's hearts' disappearing, a 'demon in the heavens' will appear.

For example, if one's deductions are wrong, causing errors in the rules and talismans, and there is no time to repair them, one's meridians and mind will become disordered, leading to death and the dissipation of one's spiritual essence.

In retrospect, resurrection does have some use.

That is to closely follow and optimize the rules of deduction, similar to opening up the channels like going to one's death before.

However, it's not very useful, because the virtual world's influence on real-world supercomputing power allows it to refine its 'rules' more quickly.

Zhang Feng even considered whether to bring about a 'technological resurgence' in the world?

Let's calculate the time frame and then the population.

If I could quickly unify the world, I could then implement early childhood education or establish youth study groups.

Decades of building the foundation, followed by decades of advancing technological development.

It seems like it has potential.

However, one's attention is diverted during the "cultivation of opening the gap," and the actual development time is not very long, which will result in limited progress.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Feng felt it was better to figure it out himself first and wait for reality to become more perfect.

Finally, when you arrive in other, longer-term worlds, it's best to start with a world of technology and interstellar travel.

Then expand outwards, invade the galaxy, and maybe even see the aliens in the adventure world.

But upon closer reflection, the adventure world is actually an 'alien' to me, an alien from the multiverse.

Zhang Feng felt that he had been trapped in a 'single-minded deadlock' before.

I've only just come to truly understand this simple truth.

With 92.7% of his cultivation reaching the Divine Transformation stage, Zhang Feng now possesses a broad range of thinking.

Furthermore, the current level of Nascent Soul cultivation is not increased only after enlightenment, nor is it increased only after the Nascent Soul stage is perfected.

Rather, it is the amount that increases as long as one is alive and has thoughts.

Although in terms of speed of increase, it is far less effective than the progress made in sudden enlightenment and the completion of the Nascent Soul stage.

But at least there is something.

Unlike the Nascent Soul stage, which requires the 'soul entity' of the Golden Core stage.

Of course, this was also because my spiritual thoughts were specific from the beginning, which can be considered as taking a shortcut.

At this 'basic and specific' pace, it's about 0.01% per day.

Theoretically speaking, even if you play every day and don't practice anything, you will definitely reach 100% Nascent Soul progress in three years at most.

Once you reach the Nascent Soul Perfection realm and your physique reaches its minimum value, you will be able to successfully transform into a deity.

……

In a blink of an eye.

Three months later, winter arrived.

Before the Spring Festival.

The matter of inquiring about news of the Xuanyun Sect.

This will let Zhang Feng know that the sects in this world can indeed hide their true nature.

Over the past few months, I've traveled through many cities and asked many people who consider themselves "experts in the martial arts world," but I haven't received any information about cultivators.

No wonder the thief was so angry when he heard that he was going to take him to the Xuan Yun Sect.

Because cultivators are truly hard to find.

He truly hid away in some deep mountain forest, completely detached from worldly affairs.

Also today.

night.

I passed by a dilapidated temple in the mountains.

The thief had been exhausted from walking for the past few months.

In addition, having felt that Zhang Fengren was a good person over the past few months, he dared to ask:

"Senior, what should we do? Should we continue searching?"

"Find it." Zhang Feng entered the dilapidated temple, glanced around briefly, and then looked at the seemingly deflated bandit.
"There are also two other methods."

"What method?" The thief's eyes lit up, and he rallied his spirits. This was the first time in months that he felt Zhang Feng wouldn't kill him, and now he was considering going to the Xuan Yun Sect to escape the disaster.

But Zhang Feng's next sentence silenced him completely, and he was almost ready to curse.

"First, you will act as bait to lure your fellow cultivator enemies."

Ignoring his changing expression, Zhang Feng stated his own thoughts.
"If we can attract them, these fellow cultivators might find out where the Xuan Yun Sect is."

What do you think of this method?

“Senior…” The thief’s face was grim. “What you say is very true, but I… I…”

He wanted to say that he originally sought out the Xuan Yun Sect to avoid his enemies.

Now, things have gotten really bad. The senior wants to use him to attract the enemies he wants to avoid, and then go to the Xuan Yun Sect.
What did this make him say?
Should I say, "I'm happy to help my seniors"?

He even now denies that Zhang Feng is not bad, and instead feels that Zhang Feng brought him along just to use him as bait!
Thinking of this, he dared not refute it, but instead his knees buckled and he knelt down, once again playing the emotional card.
“Senior! These past few days… I’ve gathered information for you and served you tea and water. Even if I haven’t done anything meritorious, I’ve still put in a lot of effort… Please consider my hard work…”

"Two." Zhang Feng ignored him and began to explain the second plan.
"Or wait a few years until I reach the Golden Core stage, then I'll be able to explore more places."

Zhang Feng's plan was to expand his spiritual awareness and then accelerate his search.

And this topic can also be considered an answer to his question about hard work and toil.

Because after these past few months, his malfunction value has dropped to only 1.9, and he has been raised for a long time.

It's a real shame to send this 'big villain' away now.

"What? Golden Core?" The great thief was even more bewildered upon hearing Zhang Feng's words.

'He only recovered his strength from severe injuries a few months ago... and now he dares to shamelessly claim he wants to achieve the Golden Core stage?'

He felt that Zhang Feng had gone a bit mad.

Is this a joke?

Honestly, in his opinion, it would have been better if Zhang Feng had just been more straightforward and used him as bait.

'He probably doesn't have much time left, and he's gone mad with the desire to prolong his life... but he's too caught up in the moment to realize it...'

The thief sensed that Zhang Feng was in trouble.

Zhang Feng noticed that it was snowing outside the dilapidated temple.

If I check the time again, it seems like it's Lunar New Year's Eve now.

"Say no more." Seeing that the New Year had arrived, Zhang Feng didn't want to say anything more. Instead, he sat on the threshold, quietly watching the snowflakes fall under the moonlight.

"Come with me to watch the snow and welcome the New Year."

"I...I..." Faced with Zhang Feng's erratic thinking, the thief stammered "I" a few times before helplessly and fearfully getting up from the ground and sitting on the other side of the threshold, watching the snow with Zhang Feng.

But he wasn't happy watching it; he was still tense.

And the opposite.

Zhang Feng, however, abandoned the various systems he practiced every day and tried his best to relax.

Because this is like watching the snow during the New Year, a very ordinary thing, and there's nothing more ordinary than it.

Now that Zhang Feng thinks about it carefully, he realizes it's been a long time since he's done it.

I vaguely remember that the last time I relaxed and watched the snow was in my master's world.

At that time, I think I was in seclusion at the martial arts school for a very long time, and then my adoptive father and the others came to the martial arts school to find me.

I spent the New Year with my adoptive father, my two older brothers and their families, and my master and the others.

Memories from hundreds of years ago have long since faded.

It was during this snow-viewing experience that Zhang Fengcai vaguely recalled the past.

just.

In the eyes of the great thief, Zhang Feng's sitting and observing seemed to be a momentary pause for thought, but in reality, he sat there day after day, through the changing of the seasons.

Zhang Feng unknowingly triggered a storm of memories, trying to find warm memories from the past.

And this sudden epiphany.

Zhang Feng was completely unaware, still watching the snow, unaware that two days and one night had already passed.

'What's wrong with this old man?' The great thief, seeing Zhang Feng silently watching the snow without moving, had no idea what enlightenment was.

Although the great thief did not understand the matter of enlightenment, he dared not disturb him.

He also moved out of the small house and, relying on his strong physique, built a temporary shack under a big tree, taking on the role of Zhang Feng's 'guard'.

Especially as three days have passed.

After seeing Zhang Feng still watching the snow, he vaguely felt that Zhang Feng must have fallen into some kind of enlightenment as described by the Taoists.

So he began to clear away the wild animals around him, trying his best to create a peaceful environment for Zhang Feng.

The master thief also transformed from a guard into a 'protector of the Way'.

Although he resented Zhang Feng and thought the old man was quite cunning and had deceived him many times, after spending several months with him, he also discovered that Zhang Feng was actually a good person.

Perhaps she was indeed seriously injured before and had no choice but to lie to him?

As for people of good character, whether they are bad or good, they all prefer to associate with them.

This is a form of psychological affirmation.

The thief thought Zhang Feng was a friend worth making.

But thinking about the Golden Elixir and the matter of using him as bait...

He was conflicted.

'Should I just run away while this old man has this epiphany?'
But if he wakes up later, wouldn't I have another Qi cultivator as an enemy?

Or... should I try... stabbing him...?
Does he... have a backup plan?

……

In a blink of an eye, five days later.

The mastermind still chose not to expose it.

On the contrary, it happened this morning.

When he returned from hunting again, he saw Zhang Feng standing in front of the dilapidated temple.

When he saw Zhang Feng, he was also surprised. He felt that Zhang Feng had changed, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Let's continue our journey."

Zhang Feng was just passing by him, unaware that the great thief had been harboring murderous intent towards him for several days.

But even if you know.

Zhang Feng didn't mind, because he often did this.

His nature is still evil.

"I'm not eating..."

At the same time, the thief was about to say that he hadn't eaten yet, and was also about to ask whether the rabbits should be roasted or boiled.

The rabbits in his hands instantly shed their fur and skin.

In less than a second, without hurting his palm.

These rabbits, which were originally covered in blood, were transformed into several fragrant roasted rabbits.

"Huh?" The thief was only puzzled for a moment, then followed Zhang Feng a few steps and handed one to him.

After spending a few months together, he already knew that Zhang Feng was a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and seemed to be a little stronger than the average Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Not to mention that this time there will be another enlightenment, he might even reach the master level of Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Roasting a few rabbits is quite simple.

But in fact.

After his enlightenment through observing the snow, Zhang Feng had reached 100% of the Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, the spiritual thought commands the upper, middle, and lower dantian of the golden elixir talisman, and also governs the three souls and seven spirits.

Its microscopic control has been further enhanced.

Although Zhang Fengcai has now reached the Foundation Establishment stage and is unable to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, he is already comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator on a microscopic level.

And in the realization of 100% divine transformation.

Zhang Feng also came to understand the wonder of the combination of 'essence, energy, and spirit'.

It is a natural state where life is complete and spiritual thoughts are integrated.

It is a kind of mental relaxation.

It felt like my own soul had stretched out in a big yawn, a very comfortable feeling.

In this relaxed state, internal energy, blood essence, spiritual energy, and all the previous systems slowly merged together at this moment.

In addition, Zhang Feng had completed the foundation he laid a few months ago.

There is no need to deliberately mobilize the various systems in the body; they will naturally integrate and connect.

It's like a problem or emotion that you can't figure out before going to sleep, but when you wake up, face the sunlight, stretch, and suddenly it's solved.

But now it's not that Zhang Feng's body has woken up, but rather that his essence, energy, and spirit have all 'awakened'.

It is 'true thought', which is 'I think, therefore I am'.

In Taoism, this can also be referred to as "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top".

Even without using his spiritual sense, Zhang Feng was able to 'introspect' his own body and see all the organs and viscera within him.

This is an insight into the 'mind', that is, an inner vision of the 'soul and spirit'.

When a person's mind is clear and free from distractions, they can examine themselves and correct their final 'human form'.

Zhang Feng felt that this process of correction was the process of penetrating the void.

The "penetrating emptiness" after the transformation into a deity should be about seeing through oneself, removing the falsehoods and loopholes in the body, and eliminating the false to retain the true.

Reaching the immortal realm of 'Five Qi Converging to the Origin' allows one to forge a flawless 'true body'.

At that time, one will be able to escape the cycle of reincarnation without being harmed by any calamity, and reverse the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements to achieve a true material reorganization.

As for this "immortal body" with the five elements converging at the origin, it is the sixth dimension, or an extension that grows infinitely.

The fusion of mind and body is an attempt to bring the entire 'higher dimension' down to the three-dimensional world.

From this, Zhang Feng concluded that if his calculations were correct, then becoming an immortal was the ultimate realm.

Because it has arrived simultaneously in the form of the complete 'true self, true thought, and true body'.
