There's something wrong with me

Chapter 241: 100% Soul Transformation!

He emerged from the town.

Where could he find the Xuan Yun Sect?

Zhang Feng truly didn't know.

But as he walked, Zhang Feng first followed his previous idea, simultaneously releasing his Spiritual Sense to observe the fortunes of various passersby on the road.

At the same time, he was also looking for the two Great Thieves from yesterday.

“Someone was looking for you yesterday.”

As Zhang Feng observed, he also looked at the Great Thief following him seven or eight meters behind.

“I haven't asked yet, who did you offend?”

Zhang Feng wanted to find some clues from the Great Thief's past deeds.

This way, he could also make a careful judgment.

If those two really weren't Great Thieves, but rather troublemakers,

Then dealing with them early could reduce some trouble.

After all, his Spiritual Sense wasn't active 24 hours a day, and his 'fundamental' physique wasn't high.

What if he was sleeping in the wild one day and they suddenly launched a sneak attack? That would be ridiculous.

To those two, Zhang Feng was more like a 'low-health archer' with 'ultimate burst' potential.

He could end the two of them head-on, and they could also end him with a sneak attack.

However, after Zhang Feng asked the Great Thief a question, the Great Thief didn't speak, but instinctively followed Zhang Feng.

He was still holding the package Zhang Feng gave him, completely distracted.

He was still in awe of the 'elder's shocking methods!' from ten minutes ago.

Of course, as for Zhang Feng's later words about 'the world is vast, and I have a place in it,'

He didn't agree.

But he didn't dare to openly say to Zhang Feng, 'A mere Foundation Establishment, and an old one at that, with trashy aptitude, dares to claim a place in the world? Old man, you have a big mouth!'

These were the words the Great Thief really wanted to say in his heart.

After all, he had been bossed around for so long. If his own strength hadn't been suppressed and his life wasn't his own, why would he kowtow to Zhang Feng?

It was because of this mixture of fear, discomfort, and various hidden thoughts,

That the Great Thief's mood at this moment was extremely difficult.

But his fortune didn't radiate killing intent towards Zhang Feng; on the contrary, it increased by '3.5!'

At the same time,

After Zhang Feng saw that he didn't reply, he also looked at his fortune.

It seemed his fortune would also increase with his own strength.

It looked like a 'real-time monitoring' system.

It was the world's rules judging individual fortune based on real-time situations.

It wasn't that the world's rules knew he was unusual from the beginning and thus gave a final value.

This meant that when he transformed into a Soul Transformation cultivator in the future, that would be someone's 'peak fortune.'

As for why the rules would know the killing intent in everyone's hearts, like a 'premonition' of the 'future,'

Zhang Feng thought that when a person radiates killing intent, their entire bodily function would subtly adjust.

Coupled with the fact that Spiritual Mind can be materialized, it proves that the rules can perceive some people's spirits and know who these people are generating killing intent towards.

Then, based on the strength of both the enemy and oneself, the corresponding changes in fortune are made.

Including this 'mind reading' is not difficult to achieve.

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

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

Simply put, among 'past, future, and present,' the 'present' is the most important.

The past is fixed and unchangeable, while the future is in the changes of the present.

Only what is happening now, the people who are acting now, are the basis for judging the future.

It's not that having immortal memories or grand plans can lead to high fortune.

If he doesn't materialize these now, or doesn't act, or gets killed, then the 'future' fortune will 'reset to zero.'

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng felt that the rules were expressed very clearly, but it was also an age-old philosophical problem.

However,

For Zhang Feng, who had now comprehended the rule talismans, and based on his deductions of the world's rule principles, he gained many new insights.

The most direct is that his Spiritual Sense increased by another 1% within a li.

This was due to a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao's operation, which in turn improved his rule computational power.

And Zhang Feng, based on his continuously increasing strength over the past few days, suddenly had a realization.

That is a very profound problem, seemingly difficult to solve, but as long as a small opening is made, then a continuous flow of knowledge will pour out.

It's also similar to the past Superconducting in reality; there was no clue whatsoever.

But as long as a theoretical breakthrough is made, then continuous breakthroughs can occur, and research can be rapidly carried out, and it will also bring continuous improvements to all walks of life.

Including Z1, and virtual technology, and Force Transformation, and the current rules of karma, etc., all are like this.

Just one opening is needed.

And a few days ago, Zhang Feng opened that gap.

With this ability to draw inferences from one instance, Zhang Feng can now confirm that the theory he has been continuously deducing is correct.

Otherwise, his strength wouldn't have continuously increased.

This can also be considered an inverse deduction, concluding that his path is correct.

To use the language of the scientific community, 'cultivation is repeated verification.'

Zhang Feng is now seemingly making bold conjectures, but in reality, he is cautiously experimenting as he moves forward.

To avoid the 'demon in people's hearts' disappearing, only to be replaced by a 'heavenly demon in the heavens.'

For example, if the deduction is wrong, causing his rule talismans to be incorrectly altered, and he doesn't have time to repair them, then his meridians and spirit become chaotic, leading to his death and the dissipation of his Dao.

Now it seems that resurrection still has a little use.

That is, it's useful for the approximation and optimization of rules in deduction, similar to the previous life-risking method of opening meridians.

But it's not very useful, because the Superconducting influence of the virtual world on reality can allow oneself to perfect 'rules' more quickly.

Zhang Feng even thought, 'Should I bring about a 'technological revival' in this world?'

Calculating the time, and then the population.

If he could quickly unify the entire world, and then implement education from a young age, or establish youth study classes,

Decades to build the foundation, and then decades to promote technological development.

It seemed to have some potential.

But he would be distracted from 'cultivation that opens gaps,' and the actual development time wouldn't be very long, which would lead to not much progress.

For a moment, after judging the gains and losses, Zhang Feng felt that it was better to first comprehend it himself, and then wait for reality to improve further.

Finally, when he arrives in other, longer-duration worlds, ideally starting as worlds of technology and interstellar travel.

Then he could massively expand, attack the galaxy, and perhaps even see aliens in the adventure world.

But thinking carefully, for him, the adventure world was actually 'aliens,' and they were aliens from a multiverse.

Zhang Feng felt that he had previously been stuck in a 'single-minded impasse.'

Such a simple truth, he only now deeply understood.

92.7% Soul Transformation allowed Zhang Feng's current thinking to be very broad.

And the current Soul Transformation wasn't just increasing after enlightenment, nor was it only increasing after reaching the perfected Nascent Soul stage.

Instead, as long as he was alive, as long as he had thoughts, it was increasing.

Although the speed of increase was far from comparable to the effective progress during enlightenment and perfected Nascent Soul.

But at least it was there.

Unlike Nascent Soul, which requires the 'materialization of the soul' from the Golden Core.

Of course, this was also because his Spiritual Mind was materialized from the beginning, which was a shortcut.

With this 'basic materialization' speed, it was roughly 0.01% per day.

Theoretically, even if he played every day and didn't cultivate at all, it would take at most three years to reach 100% Soul Transformation progress.

At that time, as long as he reached the perfected Nascent Soul realm and his physique reached the minimum value, he would be able to successfully transform his soul.

...

In a flash,

Three months later, winter arrived.

Before the Spring Festival.

Regarding the matter of inquiring about the Xuan Yun Sect,

Zhang Feng learned that the sects in this world could truly hide.

Over these past few months, he had passed through many cities and asked many people who considered themselves 'Jianghu experts,' but found no news about cultivators.

No wonder the Great Thief was so angry when he heard Zhang Feng wanted to take him to find the Xuan Yun Sect.

Because cultivators were truly difficult to find.

They really would hide in some deep mountain or old forest and completely disregard worldly affairs.

Also today,

At night,

Passing by a ruined temple in the mountains.

The Great Thief had grown weary over these past few months.

In addition, over these past few months, he felt that Zhang Feng was a good person, so he boldly asked:

“Senior, what should we do? Should we keep looking?”

“Search.” Zhang Feng entered the ruined temple, glanced around briefly, then looked at the seemingly deflated Great Thief.

“There are also two other methods.”

“What methods?” The Great Thief's eyes lit up, and he cheered himself up.

This was also because, over the past few months, as he felt that Zhang Feng probably wouldn't kill him, he now harbored the idea of going to the Xuan Yun Sect to avoid disaster.

However, Zhang Feng's next sentence made him fall silent directly, almost cursing.

“First, you act as bait to lure out your cultivator enemies.”

Zhang Feng ignored his changing expression and stated his idea,

“As long as we can attract them, these fellow cultivators might know the location of Xuan Yun Sect.

What do you think of this method?”

“Senior…” The Great Thief’s expression was very ugly, “What you said is very true, but I… I…”

He wanted to say that he was originally looking for Xuan Yun Sect to avoid his enemies.

But now, the senior wants to use him to attract the enemies he wants to avoid, and then find Xuan Yun Sect?

What could he say?

Should he say, ‘I’m very happy to be of service to senior’?

He even now denied his earlier thought that Zhang Feng was not bad, instead feeling that Zhang Feng bringing him along was just using him as bait!

Thinking of this, he dared not refute, but his knees went soft and he knelt down, once again playing the emotional card,

“Senior! These past few days… I’ve been scouting for you, and serving you tea and water; even if there’s no merit, there’s hard work… Please consider my hard work…”

“Two.” Zhang Feng ignored him, and instead spoke of his second plan,

“Or wait a few years until I reach the Golden Core realm; then there will be more places I can search.”

Zhang Feng was thinking of expanding his Spiritual Sense and then accelerating his search.

And it also served as an answer to his question about hard work and toil.

Because after these few months, his evil value was only 1.9; he had been nurturing it for a long time.

It would truly be a pity to send out this ‘Great Evil Person’ now.

“What? Golden Core?” However, when the Great Thief heard Zhang Feng’s words, he was even more bewildered.

‘He only recovered his strength from severe injuries a few months ago… And now he dares to boast about achieving Golden Core?’

He felt that Zhang Feng was a bit insane.

Was this really not a joke?

Honestly, in his opinion, it would be better if Zhang Feng was more direct and just used him as bait.

‘He probably doesn’t have much lifespan left and has gone mad trying to extend it… But he’s caught in the moment and completely unaware…’

The Great Thief felt that something was wrong with Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng, however, saw that it was snowing outside the ruined temple.

Calculating the time, it seemed to be New Year’s Eve.

“Speak no more.” Zhang Feng saw that the New Year had arrived and didn’t want to discuss anything. Instead, he sat on the threshold, quietly watching the snowflakes under the moonlight,

“Accompany me in watching the snow and welcoming the New Year.”

“I… I…” Faced with Zhang Feng’s leaping thoughts, the Great Thief stammered a few times before helplessly and fearfully getting up from the ground, then sitting on the other side of the threshold, watching the snow with Zhang Feng.

But he wasn’t happy watching, his mind still tense.

In contrast,

Zhang Feng, however, dispersed the various cultivation systems he practiced daily, trying his best to relax.

Because this kind of ‘New Year’s snow viewing,’ like an ordinary family, was a very common, even mundane, activity.

Zhang Feng now thought carefully, it had been a long time since he had done something like this.

He vaguely remembered that the last time he relaxed while watching the snow was in his master’s world, long ago.

At that time, he seemed to have been in secluded cultivation in the martial arts hall for a very, very long time, and then his adoptive father and others came to the martial arts hall to find him.

He then spent the New Year with his adoptive father, his elder and second brothers’ families, and his master.

Memories from hundreds of years ago were already blurred.

It was only with this snow viewing that Zhang Feng vaguely recalled them.

However,

In the Great Thief’s eyes, Zhang Feng sitting and watching like this, seemingly thinking for a moment, actually saw days turn into nights, sitting for day after day.

Zhang Feng unknowingly entered a memory storm, wanting to find past warm memories.

And this sudden enlightenment,

Zhang Feng had no idea; he continued to watch the snow, unaware that two days and one night had passed.

‘What’s wrong with this old guy?’ The Great Thief saw Zhang Feng quietly watching the snow motionless, and didn’t know what 'enlightenment' was.

But although the Great Thief didn’t understand enlightenment, he didn’t dare to disturb him.

And he also moved out of the small hut, relying on his strong physique to build a temporary shelter under a large tree, acting as Zhang Feng’s ‘guard’.

Especially after three days passed,

When he saw Zhang Feng still watching the snow, he vaguely felt that Zhang Feng must have fallen into some kind of enlightenment that cultivators spoke of.

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

The Great Thief also transformed from a guard into a ‘Dao Protector’.

Because although he resented Zhang Feng and felt that this old guy was quite cunning and had tricked him many times, after a few months of interaction, he also found that Zhang Feng’s character was actually good.

Perhaps he was indeed severely injured before and had no choice but to trick him?

And for people with good character, whether they are evil or good, they like to associate with people of good character.

This is a psychological affirmation.

The Great Thief felt that Zhang Feng was a friend worth associating with.

But then he thought about the Golden Core matter, and the matter of being used as bait.

He was very conflicted again.

‘Should I take advantage of this old guy’s enlightenment and just run away?

But if he wakes up later, wouldn’t I have another Qi Cultivator enemy?

Or… should I try… stabbing him…?

Does he… have any backup plans?’

…

In a blink of an eye, five days later.

The Great Thief still didn’t choose to stab him.

Instead, this morning,

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

After seeing Zhang Feng, he felt a strange sensation, always feeling that Zhang Feng had changed, but he couldn’t describe it.

“Continue the journey.”

Zhang Feng walked past him, unaware of the killing intent the Great Thief had repeatedly harbored towards him over the past few days.

But even if he knew,

Zhang Feng didn’t care, because he was often like this.

His nature was still evil now.

“No food…”

At the same time, the Great Thief was about to say that he hadn’t eaten yet, and also wanted to ask whether these few rabbits should be roasted or boiled.

The few rabbits in his hands instantly had their fur and skin removed.

And in less than a second, without harming his palms,

These few rabbits, which were still bloody, turned into several fragrant roasted rabbits.

“Oh?” The Great Thief was only surprised for a moment, then followed Zhang Feng a few steps and handed him one.

Having spent a few months together, he already knew that Zhang Feng was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage, and seemed to be a bit stronger than ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Not to mention this time there was also an enlightenment, perhaps he could reach the master level within Foundation Establishment Completion.

Then roasting a few rabbits was still very simple.

But in reality,

After the snow-watching enlightenment, Zhang Feng had already reached 100% progress in Soul Transformation.

At this moment, his Spiritual Mind commanded the upper, middle, and lower Dantians of the Golden Core talismans, and also controlled the three souls and seven spirits.

His microscopic control had also deepened further.

Although Zhang Feng was only at Foundation Establishment Completion now and couldn’t enter Soul Transformation, microscopically he was already on par with a ‘Nascent Soul True Lord’.

And in the 100% Soul Transformation realization,

Zhang Feng also understood the wonder of the combination of ‘essence, qi, and spirit’.

It was a natural state where life and nature were perfectly harmonized and integrated with the Spiritual Mind.

It was a spiritual unfolding.

It was as if his soul had stretched out with a big yawn, a very comfortable feeling.

In this relaxation, energy, blood essence, spiritual energy, and all the previous systems slowly merged at this moment.

Coupled with Zhang Feng’s foundation completion a few months ago,

There was no need to deliberately activate the various systems within his body; they naturally integrated and became proficient.

It was like a problem and emotions that were baffling before sleep, but upon waking up, stretching under the sunlight, they suddenly became clear.

But now it wasn't Zhang Feng’s person waking up, but the essence, qi, and spirit all ‘waking up’.

It was ‘True Thought,’ or ‘I think, therefore I am.’

In Daoism, it can also be metaphorically called ‘Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown’.

Zhang Feng could even ‘introspect’ his own body without using his Spiritual Sense, seeing all the organs and internal organs within himself.

This was a ‘spiritual’ insight, which was an inner vision of the ‘soul and spirit’.

When a person’s mind is clear and free of杂念 (distractions), they can self-examine and correct their final ‘human body’.

Zhang Feng felt that this process of correction was the Void Insight.

The ‘Void Insight’ after Soul Transformation should be to observe oneself, remove the false loopholes in the body, and preserve the true.

To reach the immortal realm of ‘Five Qi Towards the Origin,’ forging a flawless ‘True Body’.

At that time, it would be escaping reincarnation, unaffected by myriad tribulations, reversing Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, achieving true material reorganization.

As for this ‘immortal body’ of Five Qi Towards the Origin, it is the sixth dimension, or an infinitely growing extension.

The integration of mind and body is to try to bring the entire ‘higher dimension’ down into the three-dimensional world.

Thus, Zhang Feng concluded that if his calculations were not wrong, then the immortal realm was the final realm.

Because it descends in a complete form of ‘True Self, True Thought, True Body,’ all three simultaneously.
