Chapter 20 20: Awakening Third Prince's Celestial Spirit
"Empress Xin..." Xu Shan muttered, looking at the top most part of the wall, which depicted the Land of Chaos on the map.
He was in deep thoughts. Unfortunately, he could only shake his head in disappointment near the end.
"She would've been such a perfect help for this. Unfortunately, with my current strength, I don't think I can even get to her. Moreover, my identity will be useless there as well. The Maelstrom Dynasty doesn't really have a good relationship with the Eternal Dynasty..."
"I wonder if I just wish for the Celestial Palace to be destroyed through the Book of Desires, how much will I be charged?" He mused to himself. However, it was only a thought. He wasn't foolish enough to do it. If possible, he didn't want to use the Book of Desires. That was his main strength!
Also, it wasn't as if he didn't believe in himself. He came from earth and read as many books as possible. His mind and his thoughts were already very different from the others. It's just that his personality was too light in the past to put that knowledge to good use.
"Hun...gry..."
Xu Shan stood before the map, lost in thoughts, when he heard a strange voice that stunned him!
The voice appeared to belong to a little boy who was around ten or twelve years old. However, that boy didn't know how to speak properly yet. His words were somewhat broken, like his pronunciation. It was as if the boy knew speech, yet he had no experience.
Xu Shan quickly turned around. However, the hallway was empty as far as his eyes could see! There was no one there other than himself! The voice felt as if it had come from right next to him, but no one could be found.
At this point, there were only two possibilities for him. One was that it was a ghost! And the second was that it was... His Celestial Spirit!
Xu Shan couldn't see it, but in his left eye, the shadow of the star, which was illusory and blurry until recently, was now even more clear! In fact, it was so clear that everyone could see it as long as they looked into his eyes!
It was as if there was a literal Star Mark imprinted on his eyes... A Star Mark that was more mysterious than anything!
Usually, a Star Mark was graded in nine grades in Celestial Realm! The first-grade Celestial Spirit was accompanied by a first-grade Star Mark which was the lowest! The Star Mark had a small star in the middle of the Sign.
As for the Nine Star Celestial Spirit... It was the highest grade that was accompanied by a Nine-Star Celestial Mark! Inside the Nine-Star Celestial Mark, nine smaller stars could clearly be seen.
Strangely enough, Xu Shan's Star Mark didn't match any known criteria! Not only was it not on his hands or his shoulders, but it also didn't have one or nine smaller stars inside!
If one were to look carefully inside his left eye's Star Mark, they would've found something impossible! Xu Shan's Star Mark seemed to have infinite smaller stars deep inside as if his Star contained an entire galaxy inside it! It was as if his Celestial Spirit had devoured everything in its path... Including all the Stars!
"Hu...n...gry..."
The Child-like voice once again came. Xu Shan also felt somewhat bizarre hearing that voice. It was as if he had heard that voice before today as well... many times!
For some reason, he couldn't remember where. It definitely wasn't in the Third Prince's memories! It wasn't in his memories of Earth either! Then where?
Another strange thing was that his Celestial Spirit was trying to tell him that it was hungry. But he had never heard about such a thing happening!
Usually, a Celestial Spirit didn't need to eat. The Celestial Spirit could only grow stronger by slowly absorbing the Celestial Aura from the air. However, his Celestial Spirit was clearly trying to tell it that it was hungry!
"I've never heard or read about a Celestial Spirit being hungry. Is it because it just awakened? But even if that was the case, there should've been some information about it when others awakened their Celestial Spirits! Moreover, what does a Celestial Spirit even eat?!"
Xu Shan could only scratch the back of his head. His Celestial Spirit wasn't absorbing the Celestial Aura. It also couldn't eat human food? Then what?
"It woke up faster than I expected."
While Xu Shan was in a conundrum, he heard a voice that made him somewhat relieved! The Book Spirit was here!
"And here I thought I wouldn't need to see your face anytime soon." The dark-haired woman smiled.
She moved closer to Xu Shan, so close that Xu Shan could feel her warm breath brushing against his face. Her sweet scent was also different from the perfumes on earth. It was even better.
The dark-haired woman's lips were barely an inch away from Xu Shan's lips. However, she didn't seem to have noticed. She was carefully looking at the Star Mark in Xu Shan's left eye.
After a long time, she finally moved back, giving Xu Shan some room to breathe.
"As expected... It's that..." She muttered as if talking to herself. "I don't know if I should say that you're lucky, or unlucky. Then again, that's been the theme with you."
"Who should I thank for that?" Xu Shan sarcastically asked, as if blaming her. She was the Spirit of the Book of Desires in his eyes. It all started with her. Even the Celestial Spirit of Devouring came from her idea of asking for memories.
"Thank your father for that." The Dark Haired woman chuckled. "Who told him to be so ambitious with his last wish?"
"Ambitious?" Xu Shan asked.
"Instead of thinking about the past, you should think about the present. Your Celestial Spirit has awakened. It's good for you since it means that you can start your journey to become stronger!" The woman calmly responded, subtly changing the topic.
However, she didn't stop there. "That's also the bad news. As you might've already guessed, your Celestial Spirit is different from the rest... And it's hungry. If you don't feed it for a long time, even I don't know what kind of changes will occur."Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
"What do I feed it?"
Even though the Celestial Spirit seemed troublesome, he was the Third Prince! There was nothing he couldn't afford! He only lacked knowledge about what to feed it. But now, thanks to the Book Spirit, that problem was solved as well!
"What to feed it?" The corners of the woman's lips crept up as if she was imagining what kind of reaction Xu Shan would have to her answer.
