There's something wrong with me

Chapter 252 Becoming an Immortal in Ten Years?

"Heavens...celestial phenomena...the Yang Shen attains enlightenment..."

Upon witnessing such a miraculous celestial phenomenon, the Crown Prince, while shocked, also gained a general understanding of Zhang Feng's realm, thanks to his frequent research into ancient jade information over the past half-month.

This is what is referred to as the 'True Immortal Status' in ancient times.

"Not bad, you do know I am a Yangshen Zhengxian."

Zhang Feng ignored the trembling of the guards and the crown prince, and after saying a word, he had another thought.

The jade stone floated out of the prince's bosom and arrived in mid-air in front of Zhang Feng.

Even when the crown prince saw his most prized possession being 'snatched,' he did not make a move.

Because standing before him was not a Golden Core cultivator, nor a terrifying Nascent Soul cultivator, but a True Immortal—a being far beyond the Deity Transformation realm, a realm many times higher!

Such a true immortal, let alone killing him, could have wiped out all living beings in the world in an instant, given the area covered by the celestial phenomenon (spiritual consciousness) just now.

The spiritual consciousness that follows the Yang God is called celestial phenomena in the 'ancient times' of this world.

It means that a single thought or action can influence the changes in the entire world.

However, these are all speculations made by cultivators ten thousand years ago, and no one has been able to achieve them to this day.

Because they haven't even grasped the basics of the Nascent Soul stage.

Not to mention the 'True Immortals' who will reach several more realms later.

But today, in the midst of his high spirits, the prince has encountered the immortals that the ancient ancestors had 'imagined'.

Especially since this immortal took away my opportunity.

Faced with such a miraculous event, the usually intelligent Crown Prince was now completely blank in his mind.

'When did an immortal appear in the world...?'

The prince couldn't understand it at all, because there wasn't a single trace of this person named 'Zhang Fengxianren'.

However, when his mind cleared up a little and he thought of Zhang Feng's name again...

He suddenly thought of the 'Zhang Feng Zhenren' from ten years ago.

But can a real person and an immortal be the same?

Even the guard at the gate outside the courtyard, although he also thought of Zhang Feng, that immortal, could not compare with this immortal whose own celestial phenomena covered the entire world.

They were puzzled and confused, but too afraid to ask a question, and remained standing still, not daring to move an inch.

Even with an immortal in front of them, they dared not offer any respect.

Zhang Feng ignored the two and instead went to examine the Five Elements Divine Jade up close.

Because it has the magical structure of the Five Supernatural Powers, which are the five senses of Buddhism.

It's not easy to conduct in-depth research over long distances using divine sense.

Zhang Feng was afraid of accidentally damaging it.

Similar to when I replaced its runes before, it was through unintentional observation that I accidentally destroyed its original runes.

Furthermore, as Zhang Feng has delved deeper into the study of divine sense, he now knows how to describe this state of observation.

It's like putting a document inside a small power grid.

The electric grid is a protective measure that seals off the five senses of others, preventing them from discovering the extraordinary spiritual properties of jade.

Divine consciousness is like high-voltage electricity; if one forcibly enters to investigate, it will naturally tear apart the spiritual energy grid that possesses some of the same attribute.

However, at close range now, when viewed through the lens of the primordial spirit, the sense of realism seen by the naked eye can still be achieved.

Furthermore, through the observation of atomic sequences, Zhang Feng was able to understand many things even through the electric grid.

Furthermore, once you master these five supernatural powers, that is, once you master the five senses...

Then one's own divine sense also comes with the function of 'physical eyes', that is, 'divine eye', which can be used to see everything in the world.

It greatly increases the range of observation that one's divine sense can detect.

Unlike before, when you could only watch a little bit.

Instead, it presents a real-time feeling of hundreds or thousands of images in a 'bean view'.

This includes spiritual consciousness within the New World, which can also be inscribed with this kind of tangible celestial eye talisman.

In particular, after learning the other four supernatural powers, one's perception will be further enhanced, allowing one to touch the elusive 'sixth sense'.

In Buddhism, the sixth sense is understood as 'mental awareness,' or premonition.

The heart is the soul, which is the primordial spirit and mind.

With the aid of concepts like luck and cause and effect, if everything holds true, then that would be a 'visible future'.

As for the cultivator's crisis perception that comes on a whim.

To be honest, Zhang Feng didn't have it.

If this sense of danger is lacking, it can be replaced by luck.

In any case, the structure of a system is never perfect, and it will inevitably need to be patched up.

at the same time.

Zhang Feng seemed to have studied it for a long time, but in reality, it only took him a few seconds to see it from the outside world.

While the two princes were still confused.

Zhang Feng then saw right through his thoughts and gave him instructions:

"I am the same person from this city ten years ago. Now that my dear friend has arrived, I would like to ask Your Highness to come and invite me."

While they were talking, Zhang Feng had already used his divine sense to imprint Zhao's appearance on the Crown Prince's mind.

"Your junior obeys!" The prince didn't think much of it, nor did he ask the immortal why he wasn't looking for him. Instead, he grabbed the guard and left in a flash.

In his view, this might be a test from the immortals.

'First I obtained rare treasures and jade, and now I've encountered a true immortal... My luck... is probably unparalleled throughout history...'

As the prince was discharged from the hospital, he was filled with excitement, feeling truly like a 'chosen one of heaven'!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, as if his search for the person was a divine decree!
"The immortal took my wondrous object, and now he wants me to find someone. It seems he doesn't take me seriously."

In truth, besides a chosen one like me, who else in the world can hear the commands of an immortal?!

Even if others wanted to serve immortals, they wouldn't have such great fortune to bestow upon them!

Upon thinking about this, the crown prince felt as if he had finally understood.

As for the fact that his previous communication talisman had not summoned any Golden Core guards, he did not take it to heart.

Immortals are not people that everyone can meet.

They were not summoned by themselves, not because the magic was interrupted by celestial phenomena, but because they lacked the necessary affinity.

The matter of karma is something that cannot be clearly explained.

The Crown Prince felt that he was now the chosen one of destiny, and he had a deep understanding of this.

But he also envied Zhang Feng's friend, this Deacon Zhao.

Deacon Zhao was a key figure being groomed by the Xuan Yun Sect.

The Crown Prince had indeed met him once, and there was some information about his cultivation within the palace.

However, the Crown Prince really didn't expect that this little steward Zhao would have such virtue and ability to know an immortal.
Simultaneously.

After he left the mansion, he saw the two fellow disciples outside.

The two were quite polite; when the guards announced their arrival, they didn't go into the side hall of the mansion to rest, but just stood there.

Also at this moment.

'The Crown Prince actually came to greet us personally?'

The two were deeply moved when they saw the Crown Prince emerge in a flustered and excited manner, never expecting him to be so courteous and respectful to scholars.

However, neither of them said anything yet.

The crown prince grabbed one person's sleeve with one hand and hurriedly said:

"My two elder brothers, I have encountered the most important matter of my life, and I hope you two brothers can help me find someone!"

As cultivators and members of their respective sects, they would certainly have an easier time inquiring among the various sects than the Crown Prince.

They also followed the Crown Prince and others in their search.

After a sleepless and restless day.

They found the Xuan Yun Sect's headquarters, and one of them waited there while the others continued their search.

And this day.

Zhang Feng had almost finished looking at the structure within his five senses.

You can also try to demonstrate some skills.

Because these are related to the five senses, and we use them every day.

In addition to the 'thinking analysis ability' and 'creativity' of the primordial spirit, as well as the assistance of the previous memory bank knowledge, it has fundamentally surpassed the ordinary person by millions of times.

With such supreme blessing.

Zhang Feng was able to quickly put this unfamiliar little supernatural ability into practice.

Similarly, 'creativity' is also very important, as it is fundamental to 'learning new subjects'.

Ordinary cultivators are generally referred to as having 'comprehension'.

This not only relates to whether a cultivator can learn quickly, but also to the fundamental question of whether he can reach a higher realm.

However, Zhang Feng relied more on his profound foundation, coupled with his ability to draw inferences from similar cases and to see the big picture from small details, to achieve a 'deduction and creation speed' that ordinary cultivators could only dream of.

As long as the calculations are fast enough, it means Zhang Feng has a high level of comprehension.

In this system, all computing power in the real world is also Zhang Feng's enlightenment.

Of course, it is more about the expansion of human thinking.

This is something that Xiaolou cannot enhance.

As the saying goes, humans provide the tasks, and then Xiaolou calculates them.

……

Three days later, in an alley.

The Crown Prince saw Steward Zhao.

"Deacon Zhao!"

At the same time, the Crown Prince, along with Wan Yuzong's senior brother and a Golden Core cultivator, quickly stepped forward.

"Wan Yuzong's junior brother? You... the Crown Prince?"

When Deacon Zhao saw the crowd rushing over, he was still on guard, but a moment later he saw their faces move slightly and they dropped their disguises.

These individuals were also among the top second-generation leaders within the Ling Dynasty.

We may not say we know each other, but we've at least met a few times.

Even though this world lacks a real-world internet and sects maintain "information barriers" to the general public, there are still circles of connections to the outside world.

"Deacon Zhao! Immortal Zhang Feng, the True Immortal of Yangshen, requests your presence!"

At that moment, the Crown Prince directly mentioned Zhang Fengxian's words, mistakenly believing that Steward Zhao knew about them.

"An immortal? Zhang Feng?" Deacon Zhao was completely stunned, unable to connect these words at all.

And the senior brother of Steward Zhao and the Golden Core expert who accompanied the Crown Prince to search for him were also stunned on the spot.

Because the Crown Prince had been saying he was looking for someone, but he hadn't said who he was looking for.

But at this moment, the prince suddenly uttered the four words "Yang Shen Zheng Xian". They were all people with sect lineages, so they naturally knew what this meant.

Then, after a moment of surprise, they looked at the excited crown prince with puzzled eyes.

Is the Crown Prince joking?
"Your Highness... there are no Nascent Soul cultivators in the world..." The Golden Core expert, the strongest among them, voiced the doubts of the others.

"The immortal you're talking about?"

"It's a celestial phenomenon of the Yang God!" The Crown Prince interrupted everyone's doubts and, to protect Zhang Feng's image, told everyone what had happened a few days ago.

Let's wait until this matter is finished.

Even if many people are unwilling to believe it, they know that the Crown Prince would never lie.

This isn't about strength or status; it's about the fact that I'm about to meet this 'true immortal'.

Lying is pointless.

However, after hearing all this, Deacon Zhao learned that this immortal wanted to see him, and that he was his close friend, and that this immortal was named Zhang Feng.
After digesting this information, even though he was reluctant to admit it, Deacon Zhao uttered these words amidst the even more stunned gazes of the crowd.

"If... I'm not mistaken... my dear friend should be... able to achieve the Yang Shen True Immortal realm in just ten years..."

"What? Ten years?!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, are you sure..."

Everyone was shocked by the news and exclaimed in surprise.

The news of someone becoming an immortal in ten years is far more bizarre than the existence of an immortal in the mortal world.

But as Steward Zhao took out the documents from his clothes, there were some travel permits that Zhang Feng had left in various government offices.

This is irrefutable evidence.

In this era, you needed documents to leave the village or move to the city.

In addition, Steward Zhao described how he knew an immortal when he was young.

The group felt that the world was going too far.

The group, filled with doubt and wonder, arrived at the Crown Prince's residence and saw Zhang Fenghou in the courtyard. They witnessed a wondrous celestial phenomenon: at night, the sky was like a blazing sun, but now it resembled a towering mountain range, guarding the heavens and the earth.

They also had to admit that there really are reincarnated geniuses in this world.

Moreover, he was a prodigy who achieved the Yang Shen realm in ten years.

For cultivators in particular, these ten years are not much different from a single moment of enlightenment.

……

On that day, I met up with an old friend.

Actually, once we met, there wasn't much to say.

Zhang Feng felt that this was more of a shared obsession between the two of them, that is, they wanted to see each other.

It's actually quite similar to reality. When you grow up, you suddenly wonder where your childhood playmates are.

Then, once we find it, is there anything to talk about?

At most, I'll ask about your recent situation and catch up on the old days.

But for the monks, everyone was doing well.

In particular, Zhang Feng even became an immortal.

……

A very ordinary reunion between old friends, and that was that.

Zhang Feng also felt that this reunion was not as good as meeting that 'free-eating' old lady from a long time ago.

That kind of stuff is full of mundane family matters, everyday life, and dramatic tropes—it's all about the raw, human warmth and humanity.

It is only when one does not understand life that one has a life, and that one engages in rambling, nostalgic reminiscences.

Now, everyone is a monk.

They have exceptionally firm goals, which naturally makes them less human.

Compared to them, Zhang Feng had all the humanity of the adventure world, but he couldn't fit in with them.

After that, I stopped thinking about it.

Zhang Feng also began to prepare for the next step of his plan, not wanting to waste the remaining eighty years.

This waste also refers to the world's human resources.

Although pulling science is not easy.

But Zhang Feng suddenly thought of something: using magic to generate 'computing power'.

For example, they could gather some cultivators from this world and try to create a 'basic model of numerology' based on the I Ching, the Eight Trigrams, the Five Elements, Yin and Yang.

With this model as a foundation, the process of bringing reality into the computational world can be accelerated.

to this end.

Zhang Feng thought about it and felt that the Crown Prince was very useful.

It would be possible to make him emperor, then unify the world, and subsequently establish the 'Five Elements Heavenly Secrets Pavilion'.

As for why he chose the crown prince, it's because he didn't want to get to know any more people.

Let's just go with him.

It just so happens that this jade is also related to him.

And whether or not there is unification, or whether or not there is war, Zhang Feng doesn't want to care.

Even if we don't unify, even if we don't fight.

The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion must be built.

Especially, and even more importantly.

Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators from all sects across the land, as long as they specialize in the Five Elements techniques or one of them, must come to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Then, using the techniques they were familiar with, along with their own understanding, they worked together to create a computing power model.

Specific model concepts.

Zhang Feng felt that this model should be similar to the "Clay Bodhisattva Compass" in the game "Storm Riders".

It's that Bagua compass that 'transforms into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds'.

It can be used to calculate celestial secrets.

Of course, the final product will look like a relatively stable structure.

Let me think about it one last time and organize my thoughts.

Zhang Feng felt it was feasible.

Then you can begin. First, you memorize the knowledge, and they will proceed with the process of forging the treasure.

We'll wait until this treasure is made.

Or we can let ordinary people in this world try it first.

If everything is fine.

Zhang Feng planned to inscribe it into his primordial spirit and cultivation system.

Basically, I just fuse whatever I have.

The Threefold Return to Origin Qi is a system of great integration, providing infinite energy.

With the aid of endless knowledge recording, theoretically it becomes an omniscient and omnipotent 'Construct of the Heavenly Dao'.

And now, again.

Zhang Feng felt that he had reached the late stage of energy development, and all that was left was to continue the process of fusion, optimization, and compression.

The only gap in knowledge is in the most difficult aspects of understanding the past and the future.

Or perhaps, it's a problem that hasn't been discovered yet.

For example, in this world, there are the Five Elements techniques and supernatural powers, as well as seals and so on.

These may not seem to be the rules of Heaven, but they can greatly enhance abilities and rule-based computing power.

Thinking about this.

Zhang Feng came to a conclusion.

'All things are the way of Heaven, and the way of Heaven is all things.'

Zhang Feng felt that he had now truly reached the point where "mountains are still mountains, and water is still water."

They have gradually come to understand that in the earliest, pre-transcendental reality, the mortal doctrines of Taoism and Buddhism were actually the ultimate answer to the Dao.

But without this cyclical, centuries-long adventure and the boundless knowledge it has acquired, one cannot truly understand it.

Without going through the process, simply saying "returning to simplicity" is nothing but blatant deception.

Even Zhang Feng, through his return to simplicity, arrived at a rather absurd conclusion.

If the Way of Heaven were a person, it would likely be just an ordinary person.

After all, the greatest truths are the simplest.

It's also possible that the Way of Heaven could be a flower, a grain of soil, or an unnoticed bacterium.

In other words, since the Heavenly Dao is an ordinary person, how can an ordinary person bear the rules of the Heavenly Dao?

Conversely, an ordinary person could also directly enter the realm of the Heavenly Dao.

This formula is absolutely correct.

However, without the relevant steps, it is impossible to reverse the cause and effect.

For example, if one were to achieve perfect foundational cultivation in one step, it would be putting the cause in the opposite direction.

……

More than ten days later.

The old courtyard.

Zhang Feng sat in a rocking chair, watching the thief return with the fish while pondering this problem.

After more than ten days, I still couldn't figure it out.

Simply.

Zhang Feng abandoned his thoughts and instead used his divine sense to send messages to the Xuan Yun Sect's headquarters fifty miles away and the Crown Prince's residence thirty miles away, instructing the Crown Prince and his old friend to prepare for the Tianji Pavilion's affairs.

While most of the sects in the city were still there.

Let's talk about it and see which company is willing to take on this arduous task.

However, the Crown Prince had some ulterior motives.

Then they heard that the true immortals had the intention of unifying the world.

then.

At that moment, inside the courtyard, upon hearing Zhang Feng's telepathic message, he bowed towards the distant courtyard and respectfully said:
“Immortal Master, if I were to inform the various sects, given my status, it would be permissible for this dynasty.”

However… it would be best if my imperial grandfather issued the order regarding the other outer court sects within the city…”

"I already know."

Zhang Feng could see through his ulterior motives and knew that he wanted to rise to power.

Of course, there is another way, which is to suppress all the gates in the city, and then everything will be solved.

This didn't require any instructions; it was all about force.

Furthermore, as a Yang God Immortal, there should be people willing to lend a hand.

All three parties benefited from each other: the prince sought power, the cultivators sought the Dao, and the immortals sought knowledge.

However, during these ten days or so, the Crown Prince and the others kept their mouths shut and did not reveal any of their whereabouts or information.

Subsequently.

Since Zhang Feng intended to help him ascend to the throne, and felt that the city had already witnessed numerous divine manifestations, there was no longer any sense of adventure or novelty, he said indifferently:

"I have been sitting in meditation for many days, and now that I am too still, I am eager to move. I will accompany you to court to see the current sage emperor."

The Holy Ruler was the emperor of the Ling Dynasty.

After transmitting the message, Zhang Feng disconnected and ignored him.

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

In the backyard.

The crown prince couldn't suppress his joy, but he also wanted to hold it back.

But I just can't suppress the corners of my mouth.

After all, this was an immortal who accompanied him into the palace!

And this moment.

Inside Zhang Feng's courtyard, thirty miles away.

Zhang Feng ignored him and instead looked at the thief who knew nothing.

He was cleaning fish in the yard, preparing to make soup for dinner.

Then, fish scales flew everywhere.

He was panting heavily, which meant he was putting in a lot of effort.

The malfunction value also reached around 0.2.

But his personality hasn't changed much.

He's still so cheeky, always calling himself an old geezer behind people's backs.

But I've gotten used to it; I can just kill him anytime.

"Don't bother cutting up your fish, take it with you and eat it on the road."

Zhang Feng got up from the rocking chair.

"I have gotten to know the Crown Prince these past few days. You will come with me to Lingcheng."

"The Crown Prince? Senior knows the current Crown Prince?" The thief paused for a moment, not expecting this old man to have such a wide network of connections.
How could a Nascent Soul cultivator who knows some strange spells befriend the Crown Prince?

But the thought of potentially getting involved in royal infighting...

The thief hesitated and said:

"Senior, royal struggles are always dangerous!"
Especially within the royal family, it was clear they dared not offend the most powerful clans in the land.

But the elders did not see that even the most powerful clans in the world dared not offend the royal family.
Even the royal family has real people in charge!

The thief, seemingly worried about Zhang Feng, was actually afraid that a real fight would drag him into it.

"Senior! You must be careful! Don't get too close to the Crown Prince..."

In my opinion, if one must go to court, it would be best to see the Holy Emperor and submit to him.

The thief was a clever man; he didn't side with any of the princes, but only sought out his master.

“Naturally, I want to see the Holy Emperor.” Zhang Feng had the same idea; he only wanted to see his master.

"That's good..." The thief breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man was not confused, but he also asked curiously, "Senior, is your purpose in going to court to seek an official position?"

"No," Zhang Feng said calmly as he walked to the entrance of the courtyard.

"I have been free of trouble lately, and I have found my young friend, the Crown Prince, to be quite remarkable. I suggest that the Holy Emperor abdicate and help this young friend ascend to the throne. He can then gather cultivators from all over the world to establish the Five Elements Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in accordance with the changes of Yin and Yang."
