To be honest.
The Creator God returned just like that, resplendent and radiant.
Again prepared to turn back.
Zhang Feng first stepped into Foundation Establishment, then prepared for the next step, One Step Golden Core.
But at this moment.
Zhang Feng suddenly sensed something amiss.
A faint, ominous premonition of crisis, and a spatial pull that could be resisted but wasn't necessary to resist.
Zhang Feng recognized the spatial fluctuation around him at a glance.
It was a strange space folding technology operating according to some program.
Yet, in the past, he truly didn't know what kind of advanced technology existed in this world.
Even at this moment.
Seeing this technology, which clearly surpassed the standard and matched the Emperor Dynasty's technology, Zhang Feng was puzzled.
Then go and have a look, see who is behind the scenes.
Zhang Feng also didn't continue to One Step Golden Core.
Because this fluctuation is targeted at Foundation Establishment, if it were Golden Core, it would form an annihilating type of fixed strangulation technology.
Most likely to counter sudden attacks from external celestial demons.
"Xiao Feng?"
Meanwhile, the master and senior brother, seeing Zhang Feng frozen at the small courtyard's gate, curiously spoke out.
Just in the next second.
When Zhang Feng completely relaxed his resistance, allowing the spatial fluctuation to envelop him.
In the surprised gaze of his master and senior brother.
And witnessed by the city's large number of citizens.
Zhang Feng was enveloped by a beam of light descending from the sky and then 'disappeared' in the next instant.
As if a daytime ascension.
...
"According to reports, a young martial artist in our city ascended in broad daylight..."
"Rumor has it, the ascender is Zhang Feng, the foremost martial artist from north and south..."
"A thirty-year-old ascender? Is it special effects or a myth reborn?"
"Recent supernatural events, our station is tracking reports..."
Zhang Feng's ascension caused a huge sensation in the master's world.
Everyone rushed to tell each other or to share the rumors they had heard.
For a time, the words 'ascender' became an enduring topic.
And the supernatural phenomena that left people baffled.
But those associated with Zhang Feng also received special protection and key medical and living supply care from the authorities.
After all, these are the ascender's family.
If they are not well taken care of, it would be a significant problem.
...
The surrounding spatial turbulence emitted a piercing signal wave.
After being enveloped by the white light, Zhang Feng entered a very peculiar 'thermos cup' interior.
And Zhang Feng could still see the Earth beneath his feet, as well as the cosmic starry sky.
If specifically described.
He was like riding a 'panoramic skylight' spacecraft, slowly leaving this universe.
Especially the speed of this spacecraft wasn't fast, yet paradoxically, it was very fast in another sense.
It's as if now, he was leaving Earth at a very slow speed, but the next second, he might cross a light year distance.
Even ten light years distance.
Forming a very torn jump view.
This is perfected space folding technology.
Like the Giant God civilization, they could jump one hundred thousand light years.
But when they were in the wormhole, it wasn't instantaneous; there was also this torn view.
This is a 'unfolding' that higher dimensions have on three-dimensional beings, an irreversible harm.
Luckily, this thermos cup was protecting him.
He didn't need to enter Golden Core to ensure he was unharmed.
Then, Zhang Feng grew curious again.
Where was he headed?
Could it really be that he ascended? To some kind of 'higher realm'?
Thinking.
Zhang Feng wasn't worried; anyway, after death, he'd just wait a few hundred years and re-enter here.
By then, whoever killed him, he'd kill them.
Moreover, reality had already mastered the basic technology of plane hopping.
If he wished to seek revenge, he could focus on plane hopping, then search extensively for this world's coordinates.
For him, planes were no longer a distance, just a matter of time to find.
Zhang Feng thought to himself.
And saw himself leaving this universe and arriving in another grander cosmos, essentially another plane.
And ahead, lay a 'heaven and earth' cosmic continent.
Then, in the next second.
Zhang Feng arrived on this continent, situated in a forest.
Of course, it was because Zhang Feng himself understood these technologies, coupled with fully maximized rule calculation power, that he could 'see' these processes and ascension scenes.
If another person ascended, likely all around would be a white expanse.
In the blink of an eye, they'd arrive on this world's land.
To outsiders, the feeling is just inexplicably impressive 'I ascended!'
As for why he ascended and what technology was involved, he wouldn't know.
But as Zhang Feng saw it now, 'ascending' was simply a matter of plane folding.
Meanwhile.
Upon arriving in this world, Zhang Feng also felt that if he entered Golden Core, he would inevitably face a 'heavenly tribulation.'
This world had a Celestial Dao.
Zhang Feng suddenly had a realization, understanding that the initial location was actually a vast treasure trove.
Which was the concrete manifestation of 'Heaven,' transforming oneself into Dao.
The saying 'seeing a mountain is still a mountain' was now put into practice.
Thinking.
Zhang Feng felt fortunate he didn't enter Golden Core, otherwise he would have been strangled by the Celestial Dao here.
Even if his rule might be on par with or even surpass it.
But in terms of energy.
He was still far behind.
However, this wasn't an issue.
He just needed to steadily progress to Golden Core, then use rule shielding to disguise himself as Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation of this world, letting the Celestial Dao lower its guard.
Then suddenly strike and become a Celestial Dao like it.
This normal procedure, under normal circumstances, he couldn't deduce.
Because from an outer view, this world was clearly an ancient world, without computational machines.
So in all likelihood, he couldn't constantly monitor an individual's every move.
Zhang Feng thought to himself, feeling secure in his safety and plan, he stepped out of the forest and looked at the ancient wilderness path.
Then using Foundation Establishment magic, he changed his modern practice clothes into coarse linen clothing.
This fit the era well.
Continuing onward.
Zhang Feng wanted to first find a town, to slightly inquire about this world's information.
To see if cultivators were commonly known among the populace, or if they were hidden.
If well-known, that was easy to handle, he'd merely ask what cultivators were like, and he could simulate a normal Golden Core of this world.
If not known, then see about it later.
Zhang Feng was open-minded and happily picked a random direction to walk.
Including the fate formula and cause and effect, as well as his overpowered spiritual sense, all were suppressed, turned off.
Since he was to hide, he would hide well.
Walking on.
He soon encountered a group of mountain bandits coming his way.
"Kid, give us your money or..."
...
Half a minute later.
Zhang Feng used normal Foundation Establishment martial artist strength to kill these men.
It truly was interesting, this world of ascension, yet it started with a crisis like this?
Of course, it might be the Celestial Dao's test, to see if he had any issues.
But his One Step Foundation Establishment essentially belonged to an epiphany type, not a reversal causation.
Plus, his constitution was only around thirty, so there was no issue.
Zhang Feng had always speculated about the Celestial Dao World, and now naturally was well prepared.
...
Half an hour later.
Zhang Feng arrived outside a village.
And saw outside the village, there was also a deity statue of Earth God.
Especially miraculous was.
This deity statue was real, there truly was an Earth God.
Although many formulas weren't activated, nowadays even his naked eyes had electron-level micro analysis, able to see countless talismans surging on the statue.
And this talisman seemed familiar?
Zhang Feng observed for a few seconds, then looked toward the village.
At the village entrance was a shrine-like large temple for worship.
Inside were three deity statues.
Seeing them, Zhang Feng paused, for all three were familiar faces.
The middle statue was the Vast Sky, the grand thief.
To the left, the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Court, Yangshan Zhenren.
To the right, the King of Yama of the Underworld, Great Yanluo.
