There's something wrong with me

Chapter 232: Divine Manifestation, Shaking the Interstellar!

Unbeknownst to everyone.

Using virtual and quantum transmission as a medium.

Zhang Feng achieved Spiritual Sense coverage of the entire globe, and in his mind's eye, the image of a downtown office building in Yanshi City, my dynasty, appeared.

On the top floor.

The head of Voyage sat in the conference room.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties.

His cultivation realm was Qi Condensation, his physique was 61, and he had opened thirty-two meridians.

Overall, he was considered slightly better than average.

Because at his age, when he was in elementary school, the extraordinary had already begun.

If he had practiced Martial Arts diligently, he could have reached a physique of around 120 now.

Of course, he couldn't compare to the prodigies from the experimental elementary schools.

Their physiques now ranged from 180 to 210.

They had already caught up to the former Superconducting world, where there were gene serums.

But here in reality, it was traditional cultivation, which had greater potential. 210 was just the beginning, not the peak.

Pondering.

Zhang Feng looked around the conference room again.

More than twenty people were now seated here, all members of the Voyage board of directors, according to the data.

This data was retrieved by Zhang Feng from their internal system.

Zhang Feng possessed unlimited authority in reality because the Spiritual Sense structure was his own.

And current Superconducting and information transmission technologies were all built upon the connection of Spiritual Sense.

Therefore, the entire humanity held no secrets from him.

Even if the people in the Voyage conference room had activated a shielding device.

Zhang Feng could still see.

And he heard their final summary arrangements for the immigration plan.

Because just now, they had also received news that the battleship had been built.

They had about two hours left before they would depart with the company's personnel, heading to the 'boarding location' by the sea in Qing City.

At the same time, there were 3,700 people inside and outside their company.

These were their own people within the company, including various management levels and technical experts.

They were all fully armed now.

And above their company, several massive airships, similar to passenger planes, were undergoing final inspections.

Everything was being prepared.

Including in various parts of the world, many people were rushing towards the registration point.

These people were among the first batch of immigrants.

They included not only technical personnel but also those specializing in moving.

But more were official engineering personnel, helping Voyage company build the 'Moon Base'.

It was also equivalent to allocating them a large piece of land on the Moon and helping them construct buildings.

However, the related expenses were all covered by Voyage, similar to a bidding process.

Furthermore, the maintenance costs of the battleship, the salaries of the staff inside, and the battleship's energy costs, among others, were largely borne by them.

Especially today.

The content of their meeting.

Was more about financial preparation and planning.

Because this kind of strategic-level official interstellar machinery, along with the immigration of nearly hundreds of thousands of people.

Without detailed planning, they could be financially dragged to death.

Don't let their current fund pool of three quadrillion deceive you.

Within a maximum of thirty days, if they failed to establish 25 bases, not only would their funds be depleted, but they would also incur significant debt.

But as long as 25 bases were built, then with energy extraction on the Moon and the construction of Z1 and small buildings, along with relevant investors seeing their viability and subsequently providing assistance.

They could sustain themselves.

Including in official data, building 25 'ten-li radius' Dome bases within a month was theoretically feasible.

It had also been simulated in the virtual world, basically error-free.

But Zhang Feng also knew that the virtual world was, after all, virtual. When truly facing various unstable factors in the universe.

It was impossible to achieve a hundred percent simulation.

Moreover, this was not about building Orbit Cannons and battleships.

The foundations for these two were relatively more mature.

Interstellar immigration, however, was a first.

And what the Voyage负责人 and his team were secretly discussing now were these matters, and they uttered some sensitive words.

For example, they were now comparing immigration to Orbit Cannons.

Orbit Cannon was a sensitive word.

Their conversation would be further detected by the virtual world.

Even if they had a barrier.

However, this shielding, under normal circumstances, could block the Federation officials, and Federation citizens also had similar devices.

Personal private lives still needed to exist.

Anyway, as long as no sensitive words or anti-Federation remarks were made, and no actions were taken.

Then a personal private life remained a personal private life.

But if detailed data comparisons of Orbit Cannons were mentioned, like by Voyage.

Even if it was a comparison, even if it was an example, it would be reviewed by the virtual world.

Fortunately, they were merely giving examples; otherwise, the Extraordinary Department would soon receive a virtual world directive and conduct another manual review.

And during the manual review process, they would not be allowed to leave their current location.

This was the Federation's current 'crime prevention' mechanism.

Including similar pronunciations or harmonized usages, the virtual world would also find keywords from big data.

However, this anti-crime mechanism also had loopholes.

That is, if someone was not within the coverage area and lived a normal life without technology.

This could not be detected.

...

A few hours later.

Under the watchful eyes of millions in reality, and with live broadcasts from various channels, including real-time simulations in the virtual world.

The people of the Federation saw a battleship, as vast as a city, descending upon the boarding location.

Fortunately, the battleship had devices for balancing gravity and pressure, otherwise such a massive battleship arriving would stir up the seawater below, forming a huge Moon-like tide.

It could be said that the mere descent of the battleship was an absolute destruction to a city.

And then, as the battleship picked up people.

This scene felt a bit 'downgraded'.

Because battleships wouldn't emit a beam of light to absorb people, like in sci-fi movies.

At most, they would use talismans to form a 'wind staircase' to bring people up.

But Voyage was too frugal and didn't want to waste energy, so they let flying vehicles from all over the world enter the registration points around the battleship.

It was similar to taking a train; everyone queued up to enter.

Anyway, Zhang Feng found it a bit awkward, but he could also understand.

After all, they were spending money, not watching a show.

So, Zhang Feng also wished the first batch of immigrants a smooth construction of the first 'Moon Dome'.

...

However, things did not go as planned.

On the Moon, in the live broadcast from the Superconducting quantum instrument.

The actual descent onto the Moon, facing the supply of living materials and other goods, as well as intense ultraviolet radiation, caused the immigration base plan to progress slowly.

Although the regular procedures were still unfolding, it should be noted that the consumption of this immigration, and the energy consumption of the interstellar battleship, were all borne by Voyage itself.

Such slowness would financially drain their fund pool to death.

This went on for a month.

All the people concerned about the Moon project saw that only ten Moon bases had been built.

Compared to the twenty-five planned by the 'Voyage Agency', it was more than double the difference.

This also caused many large organizations to curb their investment intentions.

“They are already finished.”

Many people and large organizations uttered these words in their hearts.

And on this day.

Earth time, nine o'clock.

In a hidden conference room on the battleship.

At the Voyage Agency's internal meeting.

The head of Voyage looked at the silent board of directors, everyone speechless.

Their organization, in fact, was already gone.

The energy and related output from the ten bases simply could not keep up with the consumption of funds.

As for the concept of selling houses first, the Federation citizens nowadays simply didn't fall for it.

Wouldn't it be better to use those hundreds of thousands of housing money to get some 'high-quality Ling Stones'?

The emergence of the extraordinary made everyone very practical.

Moreover, many people didn't want to go to the Moon, and even less did they want to leave 'Celestial Dragon Earth'.

It was also like this.

At the current meeting regarding the Voyage Agency.

The head looked at the data report.

The massive battleship maintenance and the high consumption of hundreds of thousands of people had put them in debt of ninety quadrillion, reaching the bankruptcy standard set by the Federation.

As long as the news reached the Extraordinary Department and the newly established 'Federation Energy Department' (formerly Agency Management and Global Regulation, Finance) on Earth.

It would only take seven days of formal review procedures, and for the Extraordinary and Energy departments to hand over and discuss.

Voyage would be declared bankrupt and delisted.

They had completely failed in a 'gamble' in a certain sense.

There was no longer any ideal, only the cold space and reality on the Moon.

And at this moment.

The head stood up and bowed to all the board members, saying, “Gentlemen, as an agency representing the 'Old Martial Arts' meridian and Inner Force faction, we have done our best.”

The Voyage Agency had risen to prominence by relying on items related to the Old Martial Arts faction.

Even now, they were still involved in meridian-related medicines, Martial Arts Halls, and so on.

But there was no point in saying more now; as soon as the data became public, they would be liquidated, and their assets would be auctioned off.

This was fair and just.

At the same time.

In various corners of the Earth.

In rooms filled with futuristic sci-fi or fantastical magic.

Many heads of organizations and relevant board members.

Upon seeing the scattered bases live-streamed from the Moon, some sneered in mockery, others sighed and shook their heads.

And some put down their nervous feelings and toasted with those nearby.

“According to the information we currently possess, the output of the five bases cannot balance their expenditures.”

An Old man with a Superconducting prosthetic body raised a toast to everyone,

“Once the public financial report comes out at 10 PM, they’re finished.”

“Indeed.” Another Da Han, covered in runes, chuckled, “Voyage is just a regular global organization, yet they want to get involved in the Federation’s official projects? What a pipe dream.”

“I initially thought Voyage would become an interstellar company within the Federation’s network.” A young cultivator shook his head, “Now it seems our cautious approach was not wrong.”

“Cheers!”

At this moment.

Many global and super organizations, seemingly relieved, were in fact filled with lingering fear.

Because if Voyage had become the first interstellar organization, that kind of interstellar monopoly would have been a fatal blow to them.

They could even imagine that as soon as Voyage became an interstellar entity—

Leaving aside other situations—

At the very least, some super headhunting companies within the globe would definitely come to poach their people.

Afterwards, some experienced management personnel within their organizations, those who always felt unappreciated, would also definitely jump to the larger stage of the stars.

This was bound to happen.

And this loss of grassroots and middle-level management personnel would cause the greatest damage to various organizations.

Then this damage became a positive sum, added to Voyage.

So, looking at this result alone, Voyage’s scale would grow and expand exponentially.

For all global organizations that were ‘competitors’—

This was something they never wanted to see in their lives.

Of course, if it really happened—

Then the subsequent result would be that they too would have to step into the unknown interstellar space, initiating planet-by-planet wealth-depleting plans, and doing so while being tied down.

Only then could they achieve expansion, rather than being swallowed up.

Voyage, this was a true open conspiracy.

It was indirectly helping the Federation while also striking at various organizations.

Now, the various organizations only hoped that the officials would not interfere.

They just wanted to watch Voyage die, and then they would appropriately donate manpower and resources, slowly sharing some of the spoils.

Although they also knew that these actions were wrong, far inferior to wholeheartedly cooperating with the Federation and seeking greater gains—

But human selfishness, the disagreement of the board of directors, and the ‘gradually fading unity’ after several decades of transcendence—

This led many people to have their own petty schemes.

They cared more about their own gains and losses.

It was also relative to a popular saying before the world’s transcendence:

‘Donating 100 trillion is fine, but donating a car is not, because I actually own a car.’

They were in this mindset now.

However, at the base on the Data Center—

Zhang Feng was gazing at the Moon’s position.

‘The Old Martial Arts Faction cannot lose too much face, and the head of Voyage is Master Wang’s friend.

And my current speed is 30 kilometers per second in standard atmosphere, approximately equal to Mach 87.5.’

Zhang Feng calculated,

‘In space, I can modify it with spiritual energy, using external aids like talismans to interfere and achieve further acceleration.

It can reach about 32 kilometers per second.

Theoretically, it would take three hours to reach the Moon.

But the Moon is moving.’

Pondering.

Zhang Feng first estimated the Moon’s position three hours later, then leaped into the sky!

No one knew of Zhang Feng’s actions.

But when Zhang Feng arrived in the sky a second later, and then successively broke through the stratosphere and atmosphere—

Satellites and quantum detectors scattered near Earth captured images of Zhang Feng flying at high speed.

Some of these detectors were from major organizations, others were deployed by the officials.

At the same time, because Zhang Feng paid no attention to these instruments, the detectors also issued alarms for an unknown high-speed object.

The next second, images of Zhang Feng entering space and continuing to fly deeper were also transmitted to monitors in various agencies.

“What’s going on?”

“That’s…”

“It’s Zhang Zong! It’s Zhang Zong!”

Related units globally, upon seeing Zhang Feng traversing the universe in his physical body, burst into an uproar at this moment.

But when they heard the alarm earlier, they thought it was some undiscovered small meteorite.

“How did the Pioneer manage to traverse the universe in his physical body?”

“Does Zhang Zong not need to breathe?”

“You say… what realm has Zhang Zong reached now?”

After the uproar, they were even more astonished by Zhang Feng’s current physique and realm.

And, what in the world was Zhang Zong doing?

“Based on Zhang Zong’s movement, we can deduce…”

Also, within the Data Center—

Many researchers, based on Zhang Feng’s trajectory and Superconducting calculations, deduced that Zhang Feng was very likely heading to the Moon.

The remaining small probability was that ‘humans are variables’ and could not be accurately analyzed.

“Is Zhang Zong going because of Voyage?”

Also, in the office across from Zhang Feng’s office—

Old Liu knew that Zhang Zong cared a lot about that Voyage company, so it was highly probable that he was helping Voyage resolve issues, and even more so, resolving issues for the entire Federation’s first immigration.

Otherwise, it might seem like Voyage had broken down—

But in reality, the entire Federation’s face would be hard to save.

At the same time—

In broadcasts around the globe—

The footage was no longer of the Moon base, but utilized quantum information technology to focus satellite cameras as much as possible on Zhang Feng, who was traversing the universe.

“Pioneer!”

“It’s Zhang Zongshi!”

When the whole population saw Zhang Feng traversing the universe, they also showed expressions of surprise and incomprehension.

Because in their memory, Zhang Zong’s last teaching seemed to be ‘one step a hundred meters’ in the West, performing ‘Spirit Calming Art’ on a pigeon.

Now, a few cultivators have also achieved it.

And to show gratitude to Zhang Feng and propagate the techniques, they sometimes held large live broadcasts in the virtual world, demonstrating and carefully teaching many people.

But this time, Zhang Zongshi was actually traversing the universe in his physical body at over thirty kilometers per second?

At this moment, these cultivators, including all Federation personnel, felt that their knowledge and senses were completely shattered.

They couldn’t even comprehend it.

Because the conditions in space are extremely harsh, and there is no air.

They simply couldn’t imagine how Zhang Zongshi, who was still taking hundred-meter steps and seemed like a normal person thirty or forty years ago, had reached such a ‘starry immortal’ level in forty years.

And in the universe—

Zhang Feng was actually not breathing.

He relied entirely on spiritual energy to sustain himself, with Inner Force and other systems bolstering him, easily resisting cosmic rays.

This feeling, seemingly simple, was indeed very simple.

But in a state where he couldn’t breathe—

To change this habit—

Zhang Feng actually felt uncomfortable, always feeling a bit awkward somewhere.

But it was precisely the matter of habit—

And the comprehensive application of various systems this time—

Zhang Feng also roughly grasped the principle of the Three-point Origin Severance Technique, knowing that after reaching Nascent Soul, his Three-point Origin Severance Technique would inevitably form.

Previously, he had found it difficult to understand, completely out of subconscious habit, thinking that many cultivation methods could break through earlier.

But in fact, the Three-point Origin Severance Technique was originally the fusion of ‘essence, qi, and spirit’.

Nascent Soul was also the fusion of essence, qi, and spirit from the upper, middle, and lower Dantians.

They were originally natural occurrences.

He had insisted on superimposing them when he lacked sufficient knowledge, no wonder this path was blocked.

Zhang Feng also suddenly realized that this was a ‘执念’ (obsession) more subtle than arrogance.

He had been attached to appearances before.

It was also the sudden enlightenment of this moment—

Zhang Feng’s Spiritual Mind opened, and his Nascent Soul leaped from 61% to 68%.

But what seemed like a brief enlightenment of a few seconds—

Zhang Feng suddenly found the Moon close at hand, only five hundred kilometers away.

The previous enlightenment had lasted nearly three hours.

Fortunately, he hadn’t gone off course, otherwise, with the whole world watching, it would have been truly embarrassing.

‘I often hear the old saying, “A year in the mountains, a century in the world.”’

Zhang Feng’s thoughts were clear, understanding the meaning behind many sayings,

‘Although this saying is hard to describe specific cultivators, my enlightenment just now lasted several hours.

It does have the meaning of “understanding the Dao in one morning, and the world changes in myriad ways.”’

Tap—

As Zhang Feng pondered—

People on Earth and the Moon also saw Zhang Feng step onto the Moon’s surface.

But unlike the immigrants who were all wearing protective suits or inside the Dome—

Zhang Feng stood naturally in an open space, then pointed his finger forward.

“Rise.”

A sound that seemed impervious to the space environment rang out.

Rumble—

The Moon’s ground vibrated, and under everyone’s astonished gazes, dozens of ground sections within a hundred-mile radius separated from the sides, creating the rudimentary pits for placing Domes.

Then, in an instant, the displaced earth and soil miraculously combined in mid-air; some formed exquisite houses, some had their molecular elements stripped away to form conventional Superconductors.

And Dome-related materials, as well as cultivated land, and various common living facilities, all landed one by one on these large pits.

This scene left everyone in shock.

Zhang Feng then looked at the few cameras in the distance, and as if in his usual teaching manner, his voice seemed to cross interstellar time and space, addressing everyone on Earth and the Moon:

“This is the unfolding of the high-dimensional Nascent Soul, and part of the application of five-dimensional Nascent Soul and Spiritual Mind.

Spirit influences reality.

One thought arises, and all things are born.”
