Chapter 868 Mosquito Swatting Technique
Chen Guan knew that this was just a feeling; the giant hand didn't actually exist, but rather a sensation he experienced while observing the handprints.

He was shocked; it was incredible that just a few handprints could evoke such a feeling.

Chen Guan was about to examine the tiny handprints closely when the image projected into the eyes of the Heavenly Eye Demon disappeared.

Chen Guan told the Heavenly Eye Demon to step aside, then leaned closer to the telescope and saw that the woman had indeed entered the pool and closed her eyes to begin her cultivation.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Eye Demon's innate ability was very useful, and Chen Guan had the Heavenly Eye Demon reproject what it had just seen.

The Heavenly Eye Demon had one eye closed, while the other eye emitted light that projected onto the mountain wall, whereupon the image of the mountain and the jade sword embedded in it reappeared before Chen Guan's eyes.

When the image of the jade sword was at its clearest, Chen Guan had the Heavenly Eye Demon freeze the image, and then carefully examined the jade sword and the handprint on it.

"Can you zoom in on the image?" Chen Guan asked the Heavenly Eye Demon.

The Heavenly Eye Demon nodded, its eyes flashing with light. The image of the jade sword was magnified continuously until the handprints were about the size of a normal human hand, or perhaps even larger. Chen Guan then called for a halt.

Because if you look any closer, the image starts to become blurry; this is the limit that the Heavenly Eye Demon can achieve.

He then had the Heavenly Eye Demon reduce the image size, and Chen Guan carefully observed the palm prints. The feeling of being crushed to death by the giant hand became even stronger.

"These aren't carvings, but real handprints?" Chen Guan discovered that these weren't carved patterns at all; the handprints even had palm lines and fingerprints on them.

It is clear that these palm prints belong to the same person, because the palm lines and fingerprints are identical.

“These handprints are so small. Even an infant’s hand could not be this small. A human infant does not have the strength to imprint his hand on the jade sword, let alone leave a dent on it.”

"This must be the work of a tiny mystical spirit, right? Then why did it leave its palm print on the jade sword? And why is this jade sword stuck in the mountain peak? The woman always looks at this sword when she comes, so why doesn't she take it back? Is it because she doesn't want to or can't?"

Chen Guan secretly pondered, "If a woman can split a mountain invisibly, let alone draw a sword, even splitting the mountain in two would probably not be difficult for her. If she can't draw the sword, then this matter is interesting."

Of course, Chen Guan couldn't determine why the woman didn't draw her sword yet; it was just a guess.

However, one thing is certain: the woman was looking at this sword, and specifically at the small handprint on it.

Because the image projected by the demon of the third eye is the scene the woman sees, her focus is clearly on these small handprints.

"So, the woman has been observing and studying these palm prints all along. Palm prints that even she values ​​so much must be extraordinary." Chen Guan pondered to himself, then carefully observed the palm prints, trying to deduce something from them.

He tried to imitate the movements of those palm prints, and after imitating them one by one, he didn't find anything mysterious about these simple changes in movement.

Chen Guan thought it was because he lacked comprehension, so he directly let Mingfei possess him, using her wisdom to bless him, hoping to comprehend the mystery of the palm print.

The result was still unsatisfactory; he still couldn't glean any useful information from the movements of these palm prints. Chen Guan thought for a moment and then asked Mingfei to come out and look at the palm prints herself.

After looking at the palm prints, Mingfei said with some surprise, "The palm prints on this jade sword seem to be some kind of great supernatural power, capable of striking the opponent on both a spiritual and material level. Just looking at these palm prints themselves, I already feel immense pressure. If I were to face this palm directly, I'm afraid my spirit would collapse before the palm even lands."

“Take a closer look. Can you deduce anything useful from these palm prints?” Chen Guan said to Mingfei.

Mingfei examined it carefully for a while, then shook her head and said, "The person who left the palm print is far above you and me in terms of cultivation level. Moreover, this palm print contains a kind of extremely special power. Even if I use Prajna wisdom, I cannot deduce the mystery of this palm technique."

Chen Guan nodded and said nothing more, letting Mingfei go and cultivate on her own. With the help of the spiritual energy in the cave, he believed that her level would reach level 80 in no time.

Chen Guan studied those palm prints not because he was obsessed, but because he really had nothing else to do.

It would be extremely difficult for him to advance to the next level. Even with the support of the cloud-like spiritual energy in this cave, he wouldn't be able to level up for at least three to five years.

Killing one or two Mystic Spirits, or even the top-tier ones, wouldn't mean much to Chen Guan.

The best way to upgrade now is to go to the opposite mountain and collect the liquid elemental energy there for your own use.

However, the woman opposite him was too powerful, and Chen Guan knew nothing about her, nor did he know if there were any other creatures in the room, so he dared not go over rashly.

Since the woman was so interested in the palm prints on the jade sword, and it seemed that she hadn't been able to figure them out either, Chen Guan decided to study them himself.

If we get stuck with the woman or her accomplices when we go to get that liquid energy later, it might come in handy.

This palm print was something that even Mingfei's wisdom could not analyze. Chen Guan did not think he was smarter than Mingfei, so he chose a clumsy method.

The saying goes, "Practice makes perfect." Chen Guan imitated the palm-printing movements again and again, hoping to gain some insight from them.

As it turns out, Chen Guan was too idealistic.

Chen Guan practiced imitating them thousands of times, but he still couldn't grasp the mystery of those palm prints, and his palm strikes lacked the power to crush everything.

"How exactly should I practice this mosquito-swatting palm technique? Is it necessary to have a secret technique core? If so, then there's no need for the woman to come and see it every time. There must be some secret within this palm print." Chen Guan gave the palm technique that left the palm print a name. Since he had nothing else to do, he practiced and studied it at the same time.

The clumsy method continued, but Chen Guan felt that it might not work and that he needed to think of some other tricks.

"Since I can't deduce anything myself, I'll change the secret law." Chen Guan revised his secret law again.

"It possesses the ability to reverse analyze palm prints." After modifying his secret law, Chen Guan looked at those palm prints again and immediately felt something was different.
