I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 3, The Supreme Divine Firmament Jade Purity True King, the Eternal Emperor, the Heavenly Sage Venerable

The figure wore a crown and crimson clothes, just like the image Jiang Shang had imagined in his previous life.

He stood there quietly, and the stardust stopped flowing, all thoughts ceased, and emptiness and darkness arose.

"Holy crap, isn't that the Antarctic Immortal Emperor? How did he end up in my mental world?"

Jiang Shang stared blankly at the figure, cursing incessantly in his mind.

It is important to know that the Antarctic Longevity Emperor can be considered an incarnation of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, ruling over all spirits. He governs the four seasons and their cycles, can summon wind and rain, command thunder and lightning, and control the pivotal mechanisms of fortune and misfortune for all things. He sits atop the Divine Firmament Palace, known as the Jade Pure True King, overseeing the thirty-two heavens and eight regions, and is called the Supreme Primordial Holy Heavenly Venerable. During calamities, he can save all living beings and universally transform sentient beings. The Nine Heavens Responding to the Primordial Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable is his incarnation, the progenitor of the Thunder Gods. He also ranks first among the Nine Great Emperors of the Divine Firmament.

There is even a claim that the Antarctic Longevity Emperor is the source of all the gods' power, and that all the gods' power originates from Him.

Whether this existence in one's own mental world is good or bad is unknown!

However, this should be a good thing. The Emperor could kill him with ease, so why send him into the world of all-rounders? This should be his cheat code.

Suddenly, Jiang Shang noticed that the Emperor's face was becoming blurry, like trying to see flowers through fog or scoop the moon out of a well, making it difficult to see clearly.

At the same time, there was also a visualization method that circulated in Jiang Shang's heart.

I was wondering how I ended up in the world of Full-Time Master after just reading some Taoist classics. Turns out, this is what I was waiting for.

Cultivating lightning magic in a full-time job is like a dimensional reduction attack!

Jiang Shang did not continue his meditation for a while, but instead fantasized about his future cultivation of thunder magic.

Imagine punching the emperor of the far south and kicking the demon lord of Bermuda.

………………

"Alright, students, get out of class dismissed." Class teacher Qin Renyuan's words pulled everyone back from their reverie.

After Jiang Shang withdrew from the spiritual world, he found that most of his students were dejected. It seemed that few of them had succeeded in seeing their own Stardust in the spiritual world like he had. He himself had probably seen it on the very first day thanks to his enchanting ancestor.

"Next, I'm assigning you some homework: you'll need to meditate continuously for the next two months until you can enter the spiritual world anytime, anywhere, and see your own stardust." After saying that, the homeroom teacher left the classroom, leaving only the students talking amongst themselves.

The afternoon classes were on the history of magic and astrophysics, which were equivalent to one humanities subject and one science subject in my previous life.

However, in this world, the arts and sciences are not separated, at least not like in my hometown, where language and mathematics are completely different subjects.

For example, if you don't know math, you just don't know it. Even if you force yourself to, you can only write down a solution. But in Chinese, you can pretend to be profound and say a sentence or two.

A good understanding of the history of magic here can be helpful for studying magical astrophysics, which is essentially mathematics.

For example, the evolution of star trails and the way frameworks are built are described in magic history classes, and these things even serve as potential driving forces in the evolution of history.

…………

The afternoon classes quickly slipped away with the teacher saying goodbye.

The students walked in twos and threes, discussing the progress of their meditation course and whether they had seen any stars.

Even when you've just met someone, you'll ask them what kind of magic they've awakened.

Whenever the word "fire" is mentioned, it attracts envious glances.

After rejecting several girls who tried to chat him up, Jiang Shang walked home alone.

His parents were originally mid-level military mages in Cloud City, but unfortunately, they perished at the hands of demons during a Blue Alert three years ago.

When Jiang Shang passed the magic entrance exam and confirmed that he could attend a magic high school.

The commander of the Yuncheng military, Nan Cheng, personally visited him. His visit wasn't just out of concern for the children of martyrs; he also specifically came to express that the Yuncheng military would cover all of Jiang Shang's resources up to the level of a mid-level mage. He also gifted him a 124-square-meter apartment near Tianshui High School for him to live in.

When Jiang Shang returned home, he saw that the lights in his house were on. Jiang Shang walked over with a puzzled look in his eyes and secretly used his mind to connect the stars so that he could use the Thunder Seal at any time if he encountered danger.

When he opened the door, he saw a burly man sitting on his sofa, smiling at him.

"Uncle Nan, I thought it was someone else who could just walk into my house."

As Jiang Shang spoke, he changed his shoes, put his schoolbag on the sofa, and then went into the kitchen to open the kettle and pour him a cup of tea.

"You brat, I heard you've awakened your magic, so I came all the way here to see you. And you're not even grateful? Tell me, what element did you awaken this time?" Nan Cheng picked up the tea that Jiang Shang had brewed and took a sip.

"Lightning element"

Jiang Shang honestly replied that there was nothing shameful about it. Anyone with a keen eye could find out about his awakening ceremony, and he hadn't shown any signs of innate talent during the ceremony, so he wasn't afraid of people coming to find him.

"Pfft~" Nan Cheng spat out the tea he hadn't even swallowed yet.

"What?! You've awakened lightning magic? You've encountered the elemental magic with the lowest probability of awakening at the beginner level!" Nan Cheng exclaimed in astonishment.

"Uncle, the lowest probability is dimensional magic, like black and white magic." Jiang Shang mercilessly exposed the loophole in his words.

"Haha, it's all the same, it's really making your uncle happy with your awakening." Nan Cheng touched his head, which was only shaved.

No one would have guessed that a handsome legion commander would look like this on a normal day.

"Hey, Xiao Shang, how about you come to the Yuncheng military after you graduate? I'll take you under my wing, you'll definitely be fine."

As soon as the Southern Chancellor finished speaking, Jiang Shang shook his head clearly.

"Uncle Nan, I want to pursue the pinnacle of magic, I want to expel demons," Jiang Shang said to Uncle Nan with a resolute expression.

"Is that so? That's good too. I'm very happy for you that you have such ambition." After carefully looking at Jiang Shang's face, Nan Cheng suddenly smiled and said.

"Okay, I'll have someone send over the resources you can use later. Here's the list." With that, Nan Cheng took out his phone from his pocket, tapped a few times on it, and handed it to Jiang Shang.

After taking the phone, Jiang Shang began browsing the resources that the Yuncheng military could provide him.

[One property under 100 million RMB in any location nationwide]

[Lightning Element Training Manual]

【Magic Tool - Dust Kai】

.........

【Spirit Seed - Awakening of Insects】

[Thunder Star Chart Book *3]

Stardust Magic Artifact

.........

Upon seeing the spirit seed, Jiang Shang's pupils contracted, and he looked up at Nan Cheng with disbelief in his eyes.

Nan Cheng simply smiled and gestured with his chin to indicate that he should slide down.

Jiang Shang continued sliding down with an incredulous look in his eyes. For a moment, the only sounds in the room were Nan Cheng blowing on the tea and Jiang Shang's increasingly heavy breathing.

When Jiang Shang finished reading everything and returned the phone to Nan Cheng, he couldn't wait to ask questions.

"This spirit seed, it really can be extracted, and so can that stardust artifact, and this magical tool?"

Looking at Jiang Shang's eager expression, Nan Cheng felt secretly pleased: This kid, who usually acts so nonchalant, has been shocked this time, hasn't he? It was worth adding the spirit seed.

"Ahem, that's right. I can provide anything on these lists. However, the Stardust Magic Artifact is only temporarily lent to you by the military. You'll have to return it to the military when you become a mid-level mage," Nan Cheng cleared his throat.

However, Jiang Shang's focus was clearly not on that. After all, the school could provide Stardust Magic Artifacts; the only difference between them and those from the military was a slight reduction in cultivation efficiency. But Spirit Seeds were different; these could be used indefinitely. To put it bluntly, many high-level mages were still using Spirit Seeds.

"Uncle Nan, what I mean is, you also need to provide me with this spirit seed? That's worth at least twenty million!" Jiang Shangdao said.

Upon hearing this, Nan Cheng straightened up and said, "Yes, this can be provided to you. After all, your parents' merits are enough to exchange for a spirit seed. In addition, we recently obtained this spirit seed, and the military does not currently have any mages who need spirit seeds, so I have decided to give it to you for exchange."

"However, if you exchange for this spirit seed, you won't be able to exchange for other resources. After all, one spirit seed is comparable to, or even more than, the resources of a normal mage from the beginner to intermediate level. You won't get any Stardust Magic Artifacts, you know, Stardust..."

Before Nan Cheng could finish speaking, Jiang Shang interrupted, "Uncle, I know what you mean, but I am also very determined. I want this spirit seed. With it, I can earn the intermediate-level resources myself."

Upon hearing this, Nan Cheng stopped insisting, finished the rest of his tea, and stood up to leave.

"Alright, the spirit seed will be delivered to you this week. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I still have matters to oversee with the military."

Jiang Shang immediately got up and saw the Southern Chancellor, the legion commander, out of the house. Just as he was about to continue walking, he saw the Southern Chancellor wave his hand, indicating that he should not see him off.

A magnificent constellation appeared outside Nan Cheng's body, its celestial phases a vibrant blue, the connections between the stars forming a celestial palace. Then the constellation vanished, and a pair of blue wings, seemingly composed entirely of wind, carried Nan Cheng eastward.

This is a high-level wind magic - Wind Wings.

After watching the legion commander leave, Jiang Shang returned to his home.

After preparing a simple dinner, Jiang Shang sat cross-legged and began his meditation practice for the day.

Upon re-entering his own mental world, Jiang Shang once again encountered his lightning-type stardust.

When the meditation session last time came in, these star spirits stayed obediently in place, not daring to move at all. Now, however, they've started moving around in a small area, as if releasing their suppressed nature. It's like a child at home, only daring to make small, secret movements.

Looking at the figure that was still there, Jiang Shang found that the Emperor's appearance had become blurry, and even the indescribable aura emanating from him had faded.

Jiang Shang spent a long time studying the imagery beside the Emperor, then decided to try visualizing it again. After all, he had been brought to this world last time by visualizing the Emperor, so there was no reason why it wouldn't work this time, especially since the Emperor himself had given him the visualization method this time.
