I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 72 Ancient Space Victims and the Star-Picking Handprint?

A dry, parched wind slowly blew into the Seven Stars Side Hall, carrying away the last remaining moisture within.

The people inside the hall began to arrange the treasures on the ground one by one, even placing the bracelet on the ground.

Looking at the treasure on the ground, everyone present had different expressions, but they were basically like farmers who had just had a good harvest, with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Liang Shaokang, standing to the side, stared intently at the monarch's armor without even blinking.

Jiang Shang took in the expressions of everyone present and, after a moment's thought, made his decision.

Since this bracelet was placed under the emperor's bed and used the evil spirit as a defense mechanism, it means that there must be something important inside, perhaps even more important to the emperor than the monarch's armor.

Then I'll make it my priority, and I'd even be willing to give up the Monarch Armor.

Hopefully it's worth it

"Captain, I'll choose this bracelet," Jiang Shang said, picking up the bracelet from the ground and looking at them. "Since only I can make it light up, it means I'm destined for it. In exchange, I'll give up choosing this armor, how about that?"

Lang Xiuhai and the others were stunned when they saw what Jiang Shang said after picking up the bracelet.

Aren't you going to choose that monarch's armor?

That's a suit of armor made by the monarch. Even if obtaining it doesn't make you incredibly powerful, it will greatly enhance your safety.

Not to mention that this armor not only includes armor magic tools, but also shield magic tools, slashing magic tools, etc., making it a complete magic tool set!

It would be worth at least tens of billions at auction.

The most crucial point is that this thing is completely priceless and unavailable!

Despite his surprise, Lang Xiuhai still asked, "Are you sure you want this bracelet? What if there's nothing of high value inside?"

"Yes, I'm going to gamble on this bracelet! If I find a good one, then I'll consider myself lucky," Jiang Shang said with a smile.

"Then we'll accept this armor, don't go back on your word!" Liang Shaolan said happily after hearing Jiang Shang's reply.

"I will never go back on my word," Jiang Shang said firmly.

After Jiang Shang made his decision, Lang Xiuhai said no more and picked up the sandalwood box on the ground. Judging from his solemn expression, this was another great treasure!

Moreover, it is a treasure that is only slightly inferior to the monarch's armor and more valuable than all other items.

After opening the sandalwood box, Jiang Shang discovered that inside was a thin book.

Books, weakened by time and harsh winds, have reached the point where even the slightest movement will cause them to die.

Lang Xiuhai carefully picked up the book from the box, afraid of damaging it even slightly.

"What is this?" Jiang Shang asked, puzzled by Lang Xiuhai's actions.

"I found a book that records ancient people's knowledge of spatial cultivation on the emperor's desk in the main hall. If it weren't for the fact that a memorial on it was open, I wouldn't have noticed it at all," Lang Xiuhai said.

Then, he placed the book in his hand on a table in a side hall and carefully opened it.

Everyone, including Jiang Shangquan, crowded around the table, eager to see what kind of treasure the cultivation book that could be shown to the emperor was.

Perhaps we can learn something from this.

I began practicing this art in my youth, and from occasionally causing death when I was emotionally agitated, I eventually gained control of this ability. Fifty years have passed since then. Now I have compiled my life's work, and I earnestly beg Your Majesty's mercy to spare the lives of my entire family!

The Way of Space is to reach the ultimate emptiness and maintain perfect stillness. Your humble servant has named the unique skill I created through enlightenment "Star Picking," derived from the idea of ​​plucking stars and grasping the moon. The Star Picking Hand Seal is divided into two levels: the Lesser Star Picking Hand Seal and the Greater Star Picking Hand Seal. The Lesser Star Picking Hand Seal requires 343 stars to cultivate, while the Greater Star Picking Hand Seal requires the power of 2401 stars to cultivate.

[When the Star-Picking Great Handprint is cultivated to its highest level, one can use this handprint to shrink thousands of mountains, grasp the sun and moon, and manipulate the universe; a vast landscape can be viewed as if it were the lines on the palm of one's hand.]

Unfortunately, this final step only exists in my imagination. At my current age, it is truly difficult for me to achieve it. Such power is probably only attainable by a genius as exceptional as Your Majesty.

The key to cultivating this method is to cleanse the hands under the stars of the spiritual world, between sunrises and sunsets, using the power of stellar space. Otherwise, it is difficult to withstand the power of the hand seals! This cleansing is only complete after 108 sunrises and sunsets. Then, arrange the stars in the sea of ​​consciousness in this order before performing the technique!

After reading this short book, Jiang Shang fell silent.

He never expected to see the words "the Way of Space" here.

This doesn't fit into the magical world at all!

However, in his memorial, he mentioned that he would travel through space whenever he was emotionally agitated, and that some people had even died in the spatial rifts. This description sounds a bit like that of a victim.

Could this guy be an ancient space disaster victim?

But shouldn't the victims be condemned to a curse? How could he have fallen to such a state?

And how powerful must this Star-Picking Handprint, which the victims called an ultimate technique, be!

However, it seems that the emperor did not value this unique skill very much. Was it because of the special circumstances of the victims or because the royal collection already had such a copy?

Just as Jiang Shang was steering his silent little boat, preparing to cross the Cambridge Bridge that night, Lang Xiuhai kicked and broke the oar.

"Judging from the author's description and the star images at the end, he should be a high-level space mage, and this ultimate technique should have been created by him combining his own talent. The cultivation method described here is probably the ancient people's way of cultivating and releasing magic. As we all know, our current magic system was only established by the Holy City a few hundred years ago, so it is normal for there to be some differences in the language description and cultivation method."

"But what exactly does this sunrise and sunset mean? Is it the number of days?" Lang Xiuhai asked, expressing his confusion about the term.

Not only Lang Xiuhai, but Jiang Shang and the others were also puzzled by this secret code.

"Made" means that even after submitting a memorial to the emperor, it still needs to be accompanied by a secret code.

No wonder the emperor threatened this victim to hand over his secret techniques; he really doesn't know how to behave.

"How about this, we each write down this book, and after this mission is over, we'll search for this secret code together and share what we have?" Liang Shaolan suggested.

Jiang Shang's eyes lit up when he heard the suggestion, and he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Judging from Lang Xiuhai's social behavior, the possibility of him deciphering this secret manual is much higher than that of his students. It would be great if he were willing to share his knowledge.

After everyone agreed, Lang Xiuhai took out a special camera and carefully photographed each page of the book before handing the printed photos to Jiang Shang.

The camera is a type of antique camera that mainly uses light-based magic stones for exposure processing to print images onto photographs. These photographs are all blank and can only be developed after returning to the city.

It is common knowledge that demons can detect the electromagnetic signals of cell phones, so using electronic products in the wild is tantamount to mocking demons, practically saying "Come and fight me!"

This camera avoids that problem, but it makes photo processing more complicated.

After receiving the blank photos, Jiang Shang carefully placed them all close to his body.

On the other side, after taking a picture of Jiang Shang's picture, Lang Xiuhai took another picture and gave it to Liang Shaolan. He then put the original book away and put it back into the sandalwood box.

Then he carefully placed the box into Liang Shaokang's backpack.

After dealing with these more valuable treasures, Lang Xiuhai and his group began to discuss the ownership of the monarch's armor.

Jiang Shang didn't get involved in these matters. Instead, he took out the Empty Fruit he had just obtained, sat down, ate it, and began his cultivation.

After all, he had already made it clear that he didn't want the Monarch Armor anymore, and the ownership of the remaining armor was a matter for his family. He should focus on breaking through to the intermediate level of the Space System first.

When Qiu Mu Gui Sha died in his spiritual universe, he clearly felt that the space-type star particles were stirring, as if they were on the verge of a breakthrough.
