There's something wrong with me

Chapter 253 Heaven and Earth and Enlightenment: The 'Great Thief'

Zhang Feng's disrespectful words were like a massive storm to the already weak thief.

'King murder...'

He kept replaying the core of that statement in his mind and felt that the old man had gone completely mad.

"Go, stay here with me. Don't even think about running away."

Zhang Feng then instructed him to set off immediately while extending his hand.

Huhu—

At the same time, the rocking chair in the courtyard was stacked back and forth like a piece of paper, becoming an object the size of a mung bean, which was then put into Zhang Feng's coarse cloth sleeve.

The thief had seen this supernatural ability before; he had heard Zhang Feng mention it a few days ago. He called it the "Heaven and Earth Sleeve" technique.

Basically, it involves compressing things down to a smaller size, folding them up like a blanket, and tucking them into a sleeve for easy carrying.

The thief had seen the phenomenon of "scattering beans to create soldiers" before, so he wasn't too surprised.

However, in this display of absolute strength...

In order to avoid being 'tortured to death' and taken away.

He dared not say more and left first.

Zhang Feng led him toward the Crown Prince while glancing at the rocking chair hidden in his sleeve.

This isn't some kind of advanced magic, nor is it about shrinking the chair; rather, it's about completely compressing the chair to a certain volume.

It doesn't look like a chair at all now.

In terms of molecular structure, it is more like an unstable explosive, which is caused by structural instability due to extreme compression, similar to 'box fusion'.

However, under the atomic control of the primordial spirit, the molecules and atoms inside may change, producing new unstable arrangements.

But all of them are within control.

Zhang Feng achieved energy confinement similar to a magnetic field effect on the outside, based on realistic theories.

Similar to a 'tokamak device'.

For Zhang Feng, it was a very simple magnetic field constraint formula.

By the time.

When you want to use the chair, simply break down the atomic structure and 'reassemble' the matter.

This compression and constraint can be considered a disguised way of achieving the "hidden universe within a sleeve" technique.

Similarly, for the true "space hidden in a sleeve," that wondrous "a sleeve is a vast space."

Zhang Feng now has some theoretical knowledge, as well as technical and practical foundations.

Those are things like Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation, all of which are 'high-dimensional' existences.

They exist in three-dimensional space by means of 'infinite compression'.

Therefore, by simply making the sleeves the same 'higher dimension', it is possible to create a small world within the three-dimensional world of the adventure world.

This small world is a stable four-dimensional construct.

Theoretically, it is possible to put in an 'infinite amount'.

But it doesn't matter what you put in or how much you put in.

One is always in a three-dimensional world, intertwined with three dimensions; this cannot be changed.

Therefore, when it reaches a certain level and mass, it will reach the Schwarzschild radius and form a black hole.

Zhang Feng also drew this conclusion.

There is an upper limit to the amount that can be stored.

That means you can't go beyond a black hole.

Specifically, if we compress and store the Earth, a black hole will appear when its diameter is less than 1.2 centimeters.

However, if stored in a folded form with a diameter of 1.3 cm, there will be no problem; at most, the gravitational pull will be stronger.

If arranged in this way, one could fit thousands of items the size of Earth in one's two sleeves.

Even putting a black hole in your sleeve wouldn't be a problem as long as it could counteract gravity.

This is also simple.

Because the structure of the Five Elements rules naturally grows as one's strength increases.

Therefore, in the process of studying the structure, the black hole problem was solved indirectly.

However, all of this is predicated on first exceeding the energy level of a black hole before one can store a black hole item.

The amount of items stored is currently proportional to one's own strength.

And I am currently at 0.01 units of black hole energy.

If you want to store the Earth, you need to disassemble and compress it into 100 cubes, each with a diameter of 1 centimeter.

It will be easy to carry then.

Or it could be transformed into a stick that is one meter long, one centimeter wide, and one centimeter high.

Zhang Feng can now turn a celestial body with the mass of Earth into a stick.

However, the refining process may take a long time.

Furthermore, Zhang Feng can also wield celestial bodies of equal mass to himself at will.

This already belongs to a high-dimensional application of the constraint of magnetic fields and the rules of nature, which is different from the common saying that a person can only easily wield a weapon with 'one-tenth of their own body weight'.

The higher the level, the more one breaks through one's own quality limits.

This is a process that conforms to the principles of physics, yet contradicts them.

Similar to the time paradox.

It exists, yet it doesn't exist.

Zhang Feng felt that this might be the wonder of higher dimensions.

It cannot be proven, yet it can be proven in theory.

Such as the Klein bottle.

A bottle that can never be filled with water.

Even if it is only the size of a finger, it can easily fill the entire turbulent ocean.

The more turbulent the waves surge in, the faster it fills up, yet it remains unaffected.

His own hidden world was also realized according to this theory.

However, the specific method still needs to be based on the Klein bottle and elixir techniques to calculate a more stable four-dimensional 'sleeve universe'.

This is what we call "calculating" supernatural powers.

Now I can only compress things. When packing, there are no raging winds or ocean waves; it all depends on gradual progress.

Such a crude technique definitely needs further optimization from Xiaolou and his team.

My role is more about providing a creative way of thinking.

It can be said that the four-dimensional manufacturing technology, which can be described as "a universe within a sleeve", has enabled reality to fully enter the realm of four-dimensional manufacturing and in-depth research.

If this technology can be realized, then some legendary magical artifacts that can be large or small, including some mythical artifacts, can be reproduced and mass-produced in reality.

Zhang Feng can also use this to better master the application of the Four-Dimensional Golden Elixir, as well as the 'Seal Technique' similar to instantaneous and mass production.

As long as they are similar in some kind of concept.

Zhang Feng was able to draw inferences from one instance to another and see the big picture from small details through his vast knowledge.

……

after one day.

Zhang Feng and the Crown Prince set off.

On the way again.

Zhang Feng is still refining some basic theories and further deepening his own primordial spirit strength.

This is why every step Zhang Feng takes now is a new level.

This will definitely require familiarization, just like before.

Once familiar with it, it will be possible to quickly build structures and achieve rapid growth once other worlds reach this level in the future.

But on the way.

Zhang Feng also glanced at the physical body, which was 500,000 miles away.

He is now 200,000 miles deep in the scorching earth, with a physical constitution of 6.9K.

Weight: 696 tons!
With such a terrifying constitution, they already need to rely on spiritual energy to float.

Otherwise, it could keep falling all the way to the Earth's core.

Even within this concentrated weight, rules are etched into the body.

Even if you are just standing still, conventional weapons can no longer cause any damage to your body.

Only the energy attack center of the railgun might make the physical body feel a little hot or itchy.

The physical body is also moving towards the ultimate three-dimensional life, and is undergoing a rapid leap forward in familiarity with the physical constitution.

Zhang Feng felt great because he was getting stronger and improving every second.

But the pressure is also immense.

After all, he had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. If he couldn't suppress the rules of the Nascent Soul talisman after returning to reality...

Furthermore, the physical body cannot bear the rule-based body of the primordial spirit.

Then it is very likely that I will also achieve the 'True Yang Immortal Fruit Position' directly, just like I am now.

Although this is a conventional method of enlightenment in mythology.

But like the "iron rice bowl" in the Investiture of the Gods, it belongs to the "immortalization" of the primordial yang.

However, his physical body did not achieve 'sanctification'.

This is something that cannot be "penetrated" within one's own system.

They also cannot enter the sixth dimension, or even an infinitely higher dimension.

The human body is the essence of life. Even if the body and soul are separated, one may still be omniscient, but not necessarily omnipotent.

Having read about Taoism in this world and combined it with his past experiences, Zhang Feng now has a deeper understanding of Tao.

Humans need to "return to their original nature".

Yuan is the body, and also the beginning of everything.

It's about 'seeing mountains as mountains'.

And at the same time.

On the way to the imperial city.

In the eyes of the prince and the bandits, Zhang Feng simply sat in front of the carriage all day long, quietly closing his eyes to rest.

To everyone else, this was seen as thinking.

However, in Zhang Feng's 'computational comprehension' system, it is a continuous process of deduction, which is equivalent to a normal cultivator constantly experiencing 'minor enlightenment'.

However, although they didn't know, they didn't dare to disturb them.

Even when they eat dinner, they eat by themselves.

But his gaze would occasionally drift towards Zhang Feng in front of the car. Also tonight.

It was also the sixteenth day of the journey.

The thief had become familiar with the prince and others, and had gone from being reserved at the beginning to being as comfortable as before.

In his opinion, there's no way he can escape now, and he probably doesn't have a chance.

Then we might as well eat and drink as usual.

With two months' journey still ahead of Lingcheng.

Enjoy your time while you're alive, and then try to find a chance to escape.

now.

The thief appeared to be eating, but in reality, he was keeping a close watch on everything around him, waiting for Zhang Feng to suddenly faint from hunger so that he could take advantage of the chaos and escape in one direction.

As for whether a Nascent Soul cultivator would faint from hunger, he was just a master thief who practiced external martial arts, so naturally he wouldn't know.

But he knew that Zhang Feng never missed a meal, three meals a day.

Even after several days of enlightenment in front of the dilapidated temple, there was still spiritual energy circulating to replenish Zhang Feng's energy reserves.

But now, seeing no spiritual energy, he felt that Zhang Feng might be at risk of fainting due to excessive cultivation.

Although it's unlikely, it's at least something to look forward to.

If it really happens, he can use his current reconnaissance to determine the most suitable escape route.

"Go ahead and go crazy yourselves, I'm not going to die with you!"

At this moment, the great thief was eating fish while watching the prince and others chatting idly beside him.

In his view, none of the people here, including the old man in the carriage, seemed like normal people.

Furthermore, the thief had already decided that even if he couldn't escape, he would actually end up in the capital.

He also planned to find an opportunity to send a message to the emperor, saying, 'Your grandson and an old geezer are plotting a rebellion! For the sake of the people of Ling Dynasty, you must be careful!'

The master thief had this purpose in mind.

Prepare to betray the treacherous minister like a loyal minister.

As for whether the master thief was a good person?
Even without anyone saying it, the master thief felt he wasn't doing it. He claimed he was doing it for the people, but in reality, he was just trying to save his own life.

But is Zhang Feng a real person?
The thief was even less likely to be a living person.

The fact that Zhang Feng could come up with things like causing the emperor to abdicate showed that he was seriously insane.

Especially since the crown prince went crazy with Zhang Feng.

It doesn't look like a living person.

And this time.

The prince was chatting idly with the others, but after sensing with his spiritual sense that the 'immortal attendant' was constantly scrutinizing him, he smiled and respectfully asked:

"Senior Sun, may I ask... has the food not suited your taste these past few days?"

In the past ten days or so, the prince and his entourage had actually had very little interaction with the bandit.

Because the master thief always seemed to be a lone wolf.

Even their daily meals are eaten on one side of the table.

But while eating, he kept glancing at them.

This also piqued the curiosity of the prince and others, who wondered what the immortal's attendant meant.

Now, the Crown Prince has finally mustered the courage to use it.

"No." The great thief shook his head when the prince asked.

But if you happen to see that the Crown Prince's tone and appearance are kind, it doesn't seem like he's faking it.

After pondering for a few moments, the thief felt that he was bound to get into trouble sooner or later, so he decided to take the risk and say in advance:
"Master Zhang and His Highness the Crown Prince met with the Holy Emperor together, and then..."

He paused for a moment, but everyone understood the meaning behind his words.

It will take everyone a second or two to process this.

The thief continued, "Does Your Highness feel that this matter... is somewhat inappropriate?"

"Why is it inappropriate?" the crown prince chuckled.

The others also laughed and commented.

"The immortals helped the prince ascend the throne, which was a recommendation from Heaven, a move that carried the power of Heaven and Earth, and was the right and righteous path."

"Indeed, indeed! How is it inappropriate for the immortal to support His Highness the Crown Prince? It is clearly a beautiful story that will be told for all time!"

"Brother Li's words are reasonable, very good!"

"If the Holy Emperor knew that the Crown Prince had been bestowed the title of Emperor by a celestial being, he would be overjoyed and would abdicate early to welcome him out of the city..."

Everyone was all smiles, thinking it was a good thing.

They showed none of the fear one might expect from a master thief, and even displayed a semblance of ethical conduct.

Because the Son of Heaven is, in essence, the son of Heaven.

And now, Heaven truly exists.

Even the crown prince planned to consult Zhang Feng after ascending the throne, to respect Zhang Feng as a celestial master and to call him 'father'.

It is a respectful term for one's father.

Even the sacrificial ceremony at that time would no longer be a ceremony to worship Heaven, but rather the entire court would worship Zhang Feng, who was considered "Heaven".

However, the thief was completely dumbfounded when he heard the word "immortal".

Honestly, he hadn't asked the Crown Prince or the others during this time, and he didn't know how Zhang Feng had managed to get close to the Crown Prince.

Similarly, the Crown Prince and others dared not mention the Immortal Master casually when they had nothing to do.

Because the immortal is currently cultivating.

If it weren't for the questions posed by the immortal's attendants, it would have resembled a 'discussion on the Dao,' bringing up matters of social order and ethics.

They really can't talk.

But even if the Crown Prince and others say it now.

The thief still didn't believe it; he wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death!
After all, he had been deceived by Zhang Feng for a long time, and he also knew that Zhang Feng had some strange magic, so he felt that Zhang Feng was more likely to have used some kind of magic to bewitch the Crown Prince and the others.

Furthermore, Zhang Fengcai had been cultivating for about eleven years.

Is he some kind of immortal being?

Is this definitely not a hoax?
No wonder they didn't look like living people; they all looked like they were about to die.

'These people are all crazy... Do they really think I'm a fool who would fall for this old bastard's tricks again and again?'

The thief's eyes darted around, and he became even more certain of his escape and betrayal plan.

"Is there anything else, Senior Sun?"

When the prince and others saw that the senior seemed even more flustered, they asked him with concern, mistakenly thinking that their words had displeased the immortal's attendant.

This caused unease among the Crown Prince and others.

'Damn it, he even asked me what I wanted?'

The great thief, seeing the prince and others' concern, felt they were beyond redemption and had gone mad.

Even the master thief was somewhat dazed, as if he were seeing himself from more than ten years ago.

That's how I was fooled by that old man back then.

Just now.

At that time, there was the matter of Zhang Feng's imminent death from illness, as well as the matter of impersonating a Nascent Soul ten years prior.

He's been fooled twice already.

If he falls for it again this time, he'll feel like he's lost his mind!

Of course, it cannot be denied that Zhang Feng's talent is indeed exceptional.

Despite feeling cheated, the thief still acknowledged some things: Zhang Feng's talent far surpassed that of any protagonist in any ghost story or legend.

But to say that one has become an immortal.

Please, everyone, stop treating him like a fool. He has already seen the light.

"Your Highness is absolutely right!"

However, despite his understanding, the great thief didn't disrupt Zhang Feng's plan. Instead, he pretended to be impressed, saying, "My master is truly amazing!"
"The senior's talent is rare in the world."

When I first learned of this, I was utterly astonished!

"Indeed, indeed." The prince breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the immortal's attendants were more normal, and quickly replied with a smile, "Immortal Master is the reincarnation of Heaven and Earth, so you must be exceptionally talented."

"Of course!" The others chimed in, showering everyone with compliments.

And with their extensive experience, they could talk for several minutes without repeating themselves.

Meanwhile, Zhang Feng heard them praising him. Although he was happy, he still sat in meditation to maintain his immortal persona.

Give him back his damn world!

The thief's lips twitched; he didn't want to talk to these people anymore.

'That old geezer is getting stronger and stronger, and his deceptions are getting bigger and bigger; he's even starting to pretend to be an immortal...'

The thief thought to himself, glancing between the fawning prince and the others and the sitting Zhang Feng, feeling that Zhang Feng's deception skills were becoming increasingly sophisticated.

At first, he deceived himself, then he deceived a city, and now he is the Crown Prince who controls several cities.

Then we'll come to the capital and meet the Emperor.

If this old scoundrel's scheme succeeds, wouldn't he have been deceived for a whole day?
This seems to be faster than the money he obtained through robbery.

'Impressive, impressive…' The thief thought to himself, and for the first time, he felt a sense of admiration for Zhang Feng.

'I don't know if this old man is a reincarnation of God, but he's definitely a reincarnation of my ancestor...'

……

The thief's admiration for Zhang Feng stemmed more from a sense of camaraderie.

It was like a petty thief robbing someone on the street who ran into a super thief who was wreaking havoc on the region.

Although Zhang Feng was meditating and comprehending the Dao, he could still hear everything around him with his divine sense and understand the thoughts of the great thief, but he simply didn't want to say it.

Or rather, it cannot be said.

Because with this enlightenment, my research into the five-dimensional soul has become increasingly profound.

Zhang Feng noticed something was off about the thief; he didn't seem to be human, but rather a 'strange reincarnation'.

His aura was similar to that of an ancient cultivator, or even earlier.

His aura was ancient and broken, and now it seemed to be caught in a strange 'mystery of the womb'.

If we accept the notion that every adventure world has an ultimate treasure, similar to the ultimate treasure in the underworld.

Zhang Feng felt that this must be the earliest known thief.

It also resonates with many Taoist concepts of realms of existence.

'When you look at a mountain, it's still a mountain.'

The earliest riddles and answers, the answers from the ancient cultivators of this world, actually appeared very early on.

The great thief is that mountain.
