Chapter 230 The Secret of the Star Palace
So… there’s no hope for the Aquarius secret technique, but maybe the Taurus secret technique can work?
After hearing the promise of Director Taurus, Leon couldn't help but feel happy. The Taurus secret technique seemed to be much more precious than the Aquarius secret technique.

I remember the director said that the twelve secret arts of the Cleanup Bureau are ranked. The Aries secret art known as "Weird Annihilation" ranks first, while the Taurus director's "Abnormal Forging" ranks second, and as for the Aquarius director's "Abnormal Creation", it is only ranked eleventh.

However, this ranking does not seem to be based on combat effectiveness, but on its significance to the entire cleanup bureau. The reason why Aquarius Secret Technique is ranked so low is mainly because of its extreme techniques, high material requirements, and it is too dependent on luck and has low controllability. It is possible that nothing is gained after investing massive amounts of materials.

The Taurus Secret Art is not only stable and controllable, but even after more than a dozen generations of simplification and weakening, it can also be used to train craftsmen who forge anomalies, and produce a large number of stable anomalies that can be used by mid- and low-level cleaners. It is of great significance to the entire Cleanup Bureau, which is why it ranks second.

However, even if the ranking is a bit inflated, it is still the genuine second secret technique!

Not to mention the ability to create anomalies, if I really learn this secret technique and become a so-called "reserve Taurus director", my status in the entire Cleanup Bureau will rise. Even if I am still a level-three accident handler, I will probably have a say in many things!

As expected, wealth and honor must be sought in danger! I risked being killed and had a face-to-face verbal battle with the Aquarius director. Is it time to reap the rewards now?
……

Amidst Lyon's excitement, Director Taurus sitting on the board closed his eyes slightly, and then, just like when the Eye of the Sun appeared before, the headquarters of the Cleanup Bureau darkened again, and the outer wall became transparent again.

However, the top of the General Administration did not crack again. The place where the change occurred this time was the Taurus seat located at the "waistline" part. The virtual image of the bull, which was based on more than one hundred star points and connected by a large number of meteor-like arcs of light, was rapidly appearing from nothing.

"This is the full picture of the Taurus Palace."

Looking back at the virtual image of the Star Palace behind him, looking at the huge bull with its back bent and head bowed, ready to fight, Director Taurus narrated with some nostalgia:
"Taurus is located between Aries and Gemini. It is the constellation with the most stars in the zodiac, with a total of 125 stars. However, there are not many bright stars, only one first-magnitude star and two fourth-magnitude stars. The remaining stars are relatively dim and their positions are not easy to identify.

So when the previous generation of Taurus directors taught me how to sense the stars, they specifically told me that if I couldn’t find the location of Taurus, I should look for the constellation that is crossed by the ecliptic, the celestial equator, and the galactic line… I’m giving this to you today, and I hope you can use this trick in the future.”

After briefly explaining how to identify the position of the Taurus constellation and expressing his expectations for Lyon in a disguised manner, the Taurus director waved his hand slightly behind him, and the virtual image of the mighty bull "leaped" out from the wall of the headquarters and turned into an ancient compass that was more than one person tall.

"Just touch this area."

After pointing outward from the center of the compass, at the angle between one and two o'clock, Director Taurus said with expectation:
“The Star Palace I can summon down is only a part of this one. The rest are virtual images of other Star Palaces. You can’t touch them... Come on, Leon. I hope you can give me a surprise, and everyone else a surprise.

But don't feel too burdened. It doesn't matter if there is no result. I can still give you another reward... Come on, try it!"

"..."

Ms. Taurus is really kind, like a kind elder. No wonder her own director, who is such a rude person, is always honest in front of her. Even when she is scolded, she listens obediently and doesn't make trouble...

Seeing the Taurus director, who had no arrogance of a superior, first patiently explained without getting tired of it, and then encouraged him with a kind look, Leon couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. He put aside some of his little calculations, nodded, and reached out to touch the Taurus Star Palace.

[Name: Star Dome Compass Fragment - Zodiac - Taurus (Star Palace, Sun Wheel, Law)] [Appearance: An ancient compass made of translucent obsidian. The front is painted with the star map of the eighty-eight constellations by someone's fingers. The back is covered with minor damages such as knife and axe cutting, wind erosion, freezing and sintering, and even strange marks of being bitten by sharp teeth]

[Abilities: Star Palace Transfer, Zodiac Radiance, Law-granting]

[Price: The holder's divinity will continue to be lost]

[File: The secret treasure that the first generation of Cleanup Bureau members relied on to protect the descendants of mankind and escape from the old land was shattered by one of the Four Supreme Gods.

The broken pieces of the Star Dome Compass were later collected by the first generation of Taurus Directors, who reforged them into eighty-eight star palaces and placed them on the sun track. They used the power of the sun to nourish and refine them, hoping to restore them to their original state. This has continued to this day.

[Evaluation: One of the most important trump cards of the Cleanup Bureau, the Doomsday Ark that can only be used by humans from the Old Land. If there is really a world-destroying crisis one day and even the protection of the Watch Palace is destroyed, then it will be the last hope for the human race.]

[Infection value: cannot be determined, increases with the user's own level]

"..."

WTF!
Even before he reached out to touch it, he knew that this thing must be extraordinary. After all, both the 88th Branch and the 12 Directors were named after the Star Palace. The Star Palace must be extremely important to the Cleansing Bureau.

But after witnessing Xinggong's "true face" with his own eyes... with his own hands, Leon's mind still buzzed, and he was shocked by the information he got.

Protecting the descendants of mankind... Escape from the old land... The Cleanup Bureau's trump card... The Ark of Doom that only humans can use...

After connecting these pieces of information together, it would be more accurate to say that the Star Palace is not an anomaly but a spaceship, and it seems to be solar-powered!

Humans are outsiders to this world. After escaping from a place called the Land of the Old Ones, they were probably destroyed by some "Four Supreme Gods" who destroyed their spaceship, so they were forced to land in the current world... Really...

Outrageous!
I just wanted to touch the Star Palace and see if I could find a loophole to learn the unusual forging secrets. Why did the plot suddenly turn into science fiction?
……

"Ok?"

Seeing Leon's extremely shocked expression, Director Taurus couldn't help but look over in surprise and asked with some doubt:
"Leon? What did you find out? Why do you look so weird?"
