I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 4, Contemplating Immortality

In his spiritual world, Jiang Shang began to sketch out the appearance of the Longevity Emperor little by little, according to the requirements of the visualization diagram.

First, there's the body shape, then the ring at the back of the head, and then the clothes...

bang~

As Jiang Shang was slowly contemplating the divine essence of the Longevity Emperor, he suddenly felt dizzy, and the image of the emperor he had been depicting crumbled.

Outside, Jiang Shang was directly expelled from the mental world. He opened his eyes and found himself in a state of mental collapse, with tinnitus, blurred vision, and a chaotic mind.

Jiang Shang didn't have time to think it through, so he leaned against the wall and went back to his room to sleep.

……

the next day,

Jiang Shangding's alarm clock woke him up directly.

After getting out of bed and calming myself down, I realized that I had slept fully clothed last night.

Jiang Shang twitched the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he had overdone his meditation yesterday, completely depleting his mental energy.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't have enough mana right now to be able to sketch the image of the Eternal Emperor. He'll probably need to reach a higher level to fully capture the Emperor's divine essence.

After getting up and washing up, Jiang Shang went straight out the door.

The raindrops pattering on the cement road surface are like an invisible hand playing a beautiful melody.

Jiang Shang walked along the road with a black umbrella. The pedestrians around him were all students like him heading to Tianshui Magic High School. Almost everyone was using an umbrella or wearing a raincoat.

However, you could still see a few students walking in the heavy rain without wearing anything. They seemed like children blessed by heaven, as the rain didn't wet them at all. These were students who had awakened water magic. Although water magic wasn't as domineering and aggressive as lightning and fire magic, it still had the reputation of being the strongest area-of-effect attack of the highest rank. These mages weren't afraid of water at all.

Amid the sound of rain, students gradually entered the classroom.

Their day of classes began.

Jiang Shang didn't see Zhang Yi after entering the classroom until class started. It seems that he had already persuaded his family to transfer him to the Ancient Capital last night. After all, his father is a mid-level magician and has the ability to arrange these things.

Without giving it much thought, Jiang Shang sat down and began his day of lessons.

Soon it was time for the afternoon meditation session, which would continue throughout the first year of high school.

The meditation class was taught by the homeroom teacher, Qin Renyuan, who was in charge of both math and meditation classes.

Looking at the students below, who were all sitting cross-legged, trying to enter their spiritual world, Qin Renyuan turned on the player beside him and said gently, "The most important thing in entering the spiritual world is to empty your mind. Many music scholars have studied how to empty your mind, and this Alpha Brainwave Music is one such study. Don't think about anything, just follow the feeling of the music. It will help you clear your mind and enter a state of emptiness."

However, for Jiang Shang, this music was no longer needed. Ever since the Immortal Emperor entered his spiritual world, his thoughts were easily suppressed.

After entering the spiritual world, Jiang Shang glanced at the still dim figure of the Longevity Emperor and then began to focus on his lightning stardust. Since he couldn't fully visualize the Emperor in a short time, it would be better to release the lightning seal.

After meditation comes control.

Controlling means using one's mental power to control these stars, making them quiet down and obediently stay in a specific position, forming a star trail.

When the star trails are connected, magical power will be transmitted through these star trails to the mage's body, transforming into real magic and being released.

However, Jiang Shang didn't seem to have any trouble controlling these star children. Normally, lightning-type star children should be running around freely in the stardust. But his own star children didn't act like rebellious children at all. As long as he wanted, they would all obediently wait there for his arrangements.

"Sigh, it's not educational at all," Jiang Shang sighed, looking at the obedient way the stars were behaving.

Other people's kids are always so energetic after eating chewing gum, but I'm very well-behaved.

Jiang Shang even gave them names: the eldest son was on the first track, the second son was on the second track, and so on. Although it was a bit cliché, it at least gave Jiang Shang a sense of participation.

Jiang Shang didn't dare to unleash his magic right there, since he had only awakened it yesterday and it would be quite shocking to unleash it today.

After all, Jiang Shang still remembered how this world persecuted true geniuses. Those with good talent were either targeted by the Black Church or eliminated as heretics by authoritarian forces like the Holy City. Although [One Thought, One Path] wasn't a great talent, he was sure he would show other unique abilities in the lightning element in the future. He couldn't just say, "I've awakened another talent," and then, when he showed other powers, announce that he had awakened yet another talent. If he kept awakening talents endlessly, he would definitely be targeted and become a guinea pig. It would be better to wait until later and choose a talent that was both awesome and not so awesome to announce.

After thinking about the cruel scene of Jiang Shang stopping himself from becoming a guinea pig, he simply let Xingzi roam freely and play without restraint, pretending to be like other people's Xingchen.

When Jiang Shang opened his eyes and exited the mental world, he saw his homeroom teacher, Qin Renyuan, looking at him.

He beckoned and called Jiang Shang, who had just opened his eyes, out.

"Why did you open your eyes? Is it because you can't enter the spiritual world?" Qin Renyuan asked with a serious expression. It was clear that this homeroom teacher cared a lot about Jiang Shang, the only student in their class to awaken the lightning element.

"Teacher, I can now freely enter and exit the spiritual world, but when I try to control the stars, I find them very lively, and I can't quite control them for a moment."

"Every time I manage to control one, the other will fly away and escape my control, rendering all my previous efforts futile," Jiang Shang told his concerned teacher, still keeping it a secret from him.

Qin Renyuan was also shocked by the speed of Jiang Shang's meditation progress. For any awakened magic student, completing meditation meant being able to conjure stardust in their empty mental world and clearly see the lively, childlike stars within it. This usually took two months. Jiang Shang, however, awakened yesterday and began controlling it today.

After suppressing his shock, Qin Renyuan earnestly instructed Jiang Shang, "It's alright, don't be discouraged. This is normal. Just try to communicate with Xingzi with your spirit."

After Jiang Shang answered yes, he returned to the classroom to continue meditating. He tried to visualize the Emperor of Immortality. Since magic was definitely not going to be released, he might as well visualize the Emperor. After he finished meditating yesterday, he could clearly feel that his stardust had expanded a little. It was perfect to continue this class.

After watching Jiang Shang return to the meditation hall to resume his meditation, the homeroom teacher, Qin Renyuan, could no longer suppress his laughter and burst out laughing outside the classroom.

Fortunately, the meditation room was well soundproofed, otherwise the students would definitely have come out out of curiosity to see why their homeroom teacher was so happy.
