Chapter 478 – Celestial Rank Physique "Young man, if you’re here to look for my help, I am sorry, but I have to say that I am powerless against the curses on you. They’re simply too powerful. I don’t even dare to try to touch it, as it might worsen." Zhai Ye said to him a moment later. "Is it really that serious? Isn’t there anything you can do?" Feng Yuxiang didn’t want to give up so easily, especially after learning how bad the situation really is. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦 "Madam Feng, do you remember when I tried to help you with your curse but was defeated in the end?" Zhai Ye suddenly asked her. Many years ago, Feng Yuxiang had approached him for help regarding her curse. "Of course. Even though you couldn’t get rid of it, I still owe you greatly for your years of efforts." Feng Yuxiang nodded. "I have encountered tens of thousands of curses throughout my life, but I have never experienced powerlessness until I met you, Madam Feng. Your curse was my first defeat. However, as powerful as your curse may be, I still dared to try and defeat it." Zhai Ye then turned to look at Yuan and swallowed nervously. "As for him... This is my first time experiencing fear. The curses on him terrify me so much that I do not even dare to approach him." "I-It’s okay. I understand your feeling." Yuan said to him. "You don’t need to touch the curses on me, but do you have any advice for me? How does one normally get rid of natural curses?" He then asked. "That will depend on how you acquired those curses in the first place. Do you have any idea how you may have gotten those curses?" Zhai Ye said. Yuan turned silent and began pondering to himself. After thinking for many minutes, he still couldn’t think of anything, so he shook his head. "I cannot think of how I got these curses." Feng Yuxiang then asked, "Zhai Ye, is it possible for natural curses to occur during birth? Like how some are born with powerful physiques while others are born without any physiques." "Yes, if his ancestors were cursed and passed away without getting rid of the curse, there’s a good chance that the curse might carry on to the future generations. However, there are only a handful of curses that are powerful enough to do such a thing, and this young man has more than just a handful of curses on him." Zhai Ye said. "I see... Can you give me some examples of natural curses?" Yuan then asked. "Let’s say your ancestor killed a lot of people... enough people to create a mountain using their corpses. This could result in your ancestor getting cursed by the spirits of the dead people." "..." Hearing such an example, Yuan couldn’t help but recall that one dream he had previously when he dreamt about killing a lot of people— enough people to create multiple mountains with their corpses and many rivers with their blood. "Another case of a natural curse is when one is born with an extremely powerful physique and they invoke heaven’s jealousy or wrath. When that happens, the heavens might put a curse on that individual so that he doesn’t affect the world too much. This has happened multiple times before in the upper heavens." "Hm? A powerful physique? Young Master, I’d say your physique is pretty heaven-defying— enough to invoke heaven’s jealousy. Maybe it’s your physique that caused these natural curses?" Feng Yuxiang suddenly speculated. "Really? What kind of physique do you have?" Li Shizhen asked him out of curiosity. "The Heaven Refining Physique," he said. "Never heard of it." Li Shizhen shook his head. "What rank is it? Divine-rank?" "No, it’s Celestial-rank." "D-Did you just say Celestial-rank?" Li Shizhen’s eyes widened to the point where his eyeballs nearly rolled out of their sockets. "Celestial-rank?" Feng Yuxiang had a different reaction, as she wasn’t familiar with this grade. "How high is that?" She then asked Li Shizhen, as he seemed to know judging by his reaction. "T-The Celestial-rank is two ranks above the Mythic-rank..." Li Shizhen mumbled in a dazed voice. "WHAT?!" Feng Yuxiang and Zhai Ye exclaimed in a shocked voice afterward. "Two ranks above the Mythic rank?! I didn’t know it went that high!" Feng Yuxiang then said. "Of course you wouldn’t know about it. It only exists in the Seventh Heaven and above!" Li Shizhen said. And he continued, "I only know about it because I once read about it in an ancient scroll from the Eighth Heaven!" "Ridiculous... Why is someone like that in the Lower Heavens? Where did you find this monster?" Zhai Ye said in a dumbfounded tone. "That’s rude of you, Zhai Ye! And I didn’t find the Young Master! He found me!" Feng Yuxiang said. "Anyways, I think I understand why you have so many natural curses. A Celestial-rank physique is something that could definitely invoke jealousy from the heavens. The stronger your physique— even bloodline— the more the heavens will try to hinder you. However, if you manage to overcome the heavens’ jealousy, you will become unstoppable..." Li Shizhen said a moment later. "I have never seen anyone with a Celestial-rank physique before, but to invoke over seven natural curses... I cannot imagine what could happen once you get rid of those curses holding you back." "Wait, can you tell what kind of effects these curses have on me?" Yuan suddenly asked him. Zhai Ye shook his head and said, "I can only tell you what kind of curses they are, but I do not know the details." He then stared at Yuan for a few more moments before speaking, "Most of these curses are restriction curses, but there are a few that I cannot tell at all. Furthermore, there is a high probability that there are more than seven curses on you and I just cannot see them even with my special talent." "Since it’s likely that these curses are caused by your physique, then there’s only one way to undo them— by tempering your physique." "Tempering my physique...?" Yuan mumbled to himself. This is his second time hearing this phrase, with Xu Jiaqi mentioning it before.
