Even though a huge battle had ended outside the palace, the bedroom of the Third Prince was completely silent. Even if one were to place their ears on the door and listen carefully, they wouldn't have heard anything.
It was because after Xu Shan's question, the woman before him didn't answer at all. Instead, she looked back at him as if she was observing something on his face.
The shadow of a star was still somewhat visible in the depths of his left eye, even though it was faint.
"Your Celestial Spirit is showing signs of waking up. It might be because of that." After a long time, the dark-haired woman finally responded. She wanted to say something else as well; however, after hesitating for a little, she stopped and didn't speak.
"My Celestial Spirit?"
As Xu Shan had the memories of the Third Prince, he naturally understood what a Celestial Spirit was. In fact, it wasn't wrong to say that a Celestial Spirit was something that almost everyone desired. Unfortunately, one could only be born with it and not snatch it from others.
In that regard, the Celestial Spirits differed significantly from Worldly Spirits, which could be captured and absorbed to gain abilities. A Celestial Spirit had its own consciousness and intelligence!
A person could only awaken a Celestial Spirit before turning ten. After that, a Celestial Spirit was nurtured inside their body until they turned eighteen! It was only after they turned eighteen that a Celestial Spirit was said to be complete, granting its abilities to the host.
Xu Shan could only frown in response, doubting her words. He was awakening his Celestial Spirit? That was impossible. The Third Prince didn't have a Star Symbol on his body when he was ten! Even now, he had no Star Sign that he could think of!
A star sign was a symbol of a person awakening a Celestial Spirit! It was something that people dreamt of! However, most people had their star signs on the back of their hands, or in some rare cases, on their neck or chest.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ However, there had never been a case where a Star Sign had appeared within the depths of someone's eyes. That's why no one knew about it, including the Third Prince.
For everyone, the Third Prince was a person without a Celestial Spirit. However, the reality was quite different. It was just that his Star Sign wasn't seen by anyone yet!
Most people partially awakened their Celestial Spirit at the age of ten, receiving their Star Mark, which completely awakened at the age of eighteen. It was after that point that they could start condensing the Celestial Aura inside their bodies and utilize the abilities of their Celestial Spirits.
"You don't believe me, do you?" The dark-haired woman smiled, but she didn't try to convince Xu Shan. She already knew that Xu Shan had a Celestial Spirit. She also knew what kind of Celestial Spirit it was, even though it hadn't awakened completely!
Generally, a Star Spirit was completely awakened by the time a person turned eighteen! However, the Third Prince was already twenty years old, and his Star Spirit was still in the process of completion, which only showed just how different it was from any other Celestial Spirits.
Xu Shan knew that the woman before him had no reason to lie about that. It didn't matter to her if he had a Celestial Spirit or not. However, he still couldn't understand how it was possible. There was no Star Mark on his body that he could think of.
"I believe you. But where is my Star Mark?" In the end, he directly asked the woman before him.
If he really had a Celestial Spirit, he must've had a Star Mark that was visible. He had already seen his body. It was also checked by others when the Third Prince was younger to make sure that he didn't have a Star Mark.
"If I really have the Celestial Spirit, I should have a Star Mark. However, it remained undetected throughout the years. Despite that, you noticed it instantly. In that case, it should be visible! It's just that no one noticed it!"
Xu Shan walked closer to the mirror in the distance. He decided to believe the dark-haired woman for the time being.
As he stepped before the mirror, his primary attention was on his face. He still hadn't forgotten how the woman observed his face before saying that he had a Celestial Spirit!
Xu Shan checked his face thoroughly, from his cheeks to his ears to his tongue. However, he couldn't find the Star Sign.
In the end, he decided to ask the woman directly. However, just as he was about to turn around, he stopped and thought of something. There was something he still hadn't checked! His eyes!
Thinking of this point, he moved closer to the mirror and looked carefully deep inside his eyes.
It was only now that his face revealed a look of surprise. He finally saw it! No matter how faint it was, from this closeness, he was able to see the Star Sign in the depths of his deep blue eyes!
"No wonder others didn't find it..."
Even though he was surprised, he was also somewhat elated! He had a Celestial Spirit! That meant he didn't have to be a mortal! He didn't have to completely rely on the Dynasty! Instead, the Dynasty and the Book of Desires could be his additional strength!
"What's my Celestial Spirit?" He turned around as his long hair fluttered with the gentle wind. "It hasn't even awakened completely, yet it can influence my personality?"
"Not only that, but I think it's also because of this Celestial Spirit that my body couldn't absorb any Worldly Spirits! Others thought that the Third Prince had a cursed physique, but it was because of this Celestial Spirit?!"
He was really curious about what kind of Celestial Spirit it was. However, he knew that it was impossible to find that until it completely awakened.
"Celestial Spirit of Devouring."
Just as Xu Shan was thinking that he'll have to wait a long time to find out what kind of Celestial Spirit it was, he heard the beautiful yet aloof voice of the dark-haired woman echoing in the room.
He could also sense a little surprise in the woman's tone. It was as if she was also a little surprised.
"That should be the Celestial Spirit of the Third Prince that you inherited. As for what your own Celestial Spirit will be, I've no idea for now."
"My Celestial Spirit and the Third Prince's Celestial Spirit? You mean there's another one?"
Xu Shan clearly hadn't expected that. In this world, no one had two Celestial Spirits, let two in which one was a Supreme Celestial Spirit like the Celestial Spirit of Devouring!
At best, people had one Celestial Spirit and a few Worldly Spirits. But two Celestial Spirits? One could only dream! For a moment, he even wondered if he misunderstood the dark-haired woman's words.
