Chapter 0.84: Celestial Master’s Soul Effect Six
“Ding. How do you feel right now, Host?”
“Quite marvelous.”
Qin Gou extended his hands, feeling them carefully. “Besides the mental exhilaration and satisfaction, and the seemingly cloud-clearing, sudden advancement in my cultivation, I can even clearly sense the nascent form of that little Profound Realm within my sea of consciousness.”
“Although it’s just a small mass, hazy and dreamlike, it has already begun to emit sparks of life! This means that when my little Profound Realm fully takes shape in the future, it will undoubtedly be like Xiao Chong’s Hidden Female Country, capable of nurturing living beings!”
As he spoke, the corners of Qin Gou’s mouth were filled with undisguised joy.
“Ding… Host, you might have misunderstood. You only just entered the Realm Lord Realm less than the duration of one incense stick burning. Even the nascent stage of the little Profound Realm would not possibly be born this quickly.”
“What did you say? Then what is that thing inside me?”
Qin Gou was a bit bewildered. He focused his divine sense even more intensely on that mysterious existence, reaching out as if with an invisible hand.
The feeling upon contact at that moment… soft, small, and warm, like a young bird sleeping soundly in his palm.
“Ding ding ding!”
“A Xi, what’s wrong?”
“Ding! Host, you’ve poked me.”
“What?!” Qin Gou was stunned.
“Host has advanced to Realm Lord, and can now touch parts of me.”
“Really? I can finally touch you tangibly?” Qin Gou’s eyes widened in surprise, and his voice was filled with excitement and curiosity. “Let me try again!”
The System hurriedly said, “Host, absolutely not!”
“Why?” Seeing the System’s sudden urgent tone, Qin Gou asked in confusion, “Will doing this cause you any harm?”
“I’ll get very ticklish.”
“You rascal.” Old Qin’s mouth twitched. “Then why did you yell so dramatically? Good heavens, you scared me half to death! I thought I accidentally stepped on your kidney.”
“Ding. I am indeed very ticklish, this System is ticklish.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Gou immediately sensed that the large hand formed by his divine sense was now empty.
“A Xi, where did you hide?”
“I’m still beside the Host anyway.”
“So, as long as I have enough patience, I can still find you?” Qin Gou chuckled. “Are we going to play hide-and-seek in my mind?”
“Ding… As long as the Host doesn’t act impulsively like just now, this System will appear.”
Afterward, that warm, soft, glowing existence reappeared in Qin Gou’s sea of consciousness.
But before Qin Gou could speak, it quickly changed again. As the radiance flowed, it transformed into a pair of fair, delicate, snow-white slender feet, hidden in layers of thick mist.
This scene was as if the System was standing behind the curtain of a stage, and because the misty curtain was only pulled open at the very bottom, the full appearance of the person behind the curtain could not be seen.
“So, I accidentally grabbed your sole, old pal? That’s really not appropriate.”
“Ding. This System does not yet have a real Dao Body. This is for the Host to understand more easily.”
“Yes, it’s indeed very direct. At the same time, it shows that my old pal understands me very well. If you had transformed into some small beast like a cat or dog, I’m afraid I would have already gone up and petted you to my heart’s content.” Qin Gou shook his head helplessly. “But now, you’ve revealed a pair of little girl’s feet, without shoes or socks! As a Celestial Master, I clearly cannot commit such a foolish act of bullying the weak and the innocent!”
However, as soon as he finished speaking.
The System’s misty shadow seemed to jolt and quickly retreated.
“What are you panicking about?” Qin Gou asked, bewildered.
“Ding. How long has this System been with the Host? Haven’t you bullied and teased me enough times already…”
“But isn’t that us constantly bothering each other?” Qin Gou spread his hands. “Moreover, now that I can see a bit of your shadow, A Xi, it has one benefit: it allows me to understand your emotions more clearly. Just like that half-step backward movement just now. It’s a pity that if I could see your facial expression, it would be even more direct.”
“This System doesn’t have a face yet.”
“So honest?” Old Qin reflexively retorted.
Immediately afterward, the System suddenly lifted its right foot high into the mist again. As it heavily brought it down as if throwing a tantrum, a crying face doodle drawn with ink appeared on the fair instep…
T.T
“Excellent work!”
Old Qin praised sincerely, and at the same time, he realized that the System was likely talking nonsense. A face, if it could conjure a hand to draw, how difficult could it be to give itself a little head? It was probably because he could still not see it clearly that it deliberately said so to avoid him constantly trying to figure it out.
“Hmm? This spiritual power fluctuation?”
At this moment, Qin Gou, with his mind on two things, sensed something and smiled slightly. “It seems that Qishuang and the others have all arrived. I’ll go out to meet them.”
“Host, wait a moment.”
“Why?”
“Ding. The Host has stepped into the Realm Lord realm. Previously, this System informed the Host that ‘Celestial Master’s Soul’ hidden effect six: ‘Until Death Do Us Part,’ and ‘Demon Ancestor Dharma Aspect’ form two: ‘Primordial Malice,’ have both been unsealed. Host, do not forget to familiarize yourself with them carefully.”
Qin Gou nodded and smiled. “Yes, I had already sensed it. I was just waiting for you, A Xi, to bring it up and explain it to me. In the past, as soon as I comprehended any new abilities, you would explain them immediately. This time, I waited so long. It seems you were truly flustered when I grabbed you just now?”
“Ding! ‘Celestial Master’s Soul’ hidden effect six: ‘Until Death Do Us Part,’ its ability is…”
In an instant, the System pretended to be hard of hearing and ignored the latter half of Qin Gou’s teasing, explaining formally: “Host can transfer any injuries sustained, such as severed arms, burns, Gu poison, etc., to the ‘Celestial Master’s Soul’ instantly, and recover perfectly in a very short time. And before the Celestial Master’s Soul is completely destroyed by accumulating too many severe injuries, it can still freely use its original fifth effect, ‘Shifting Feathers,’ to assist the Host in resisting fatal blows and avoiding death.”
“In simple terms, the Host’s current ability to avoid death and replace injuries can now be precise down to a specific part. For example, if the Host’s arm is severed, with a single thought, it can be instantly restored, and what takes its place is a severed arm of the Celestial Master’s Soul… If this technique is used properly, it can definitely help the Host achieve unexpected victories in various battles!”
Qin Gou’s eyes were complex. “A Xi, can we discuss something?”
“Ding?”
“Can’t my Celestial Master’s Soul be directly renamed? If it’s destroyed again, even a complete corpse of a Generation’s Celestial Master cannot be left behind? I’m upset, this is too tragic. How about calling it ‘Stone Spirit’s Soul’ from now on!”
