Chapter 439 - 219: Curse
The two of them joked and played for a while, then Chu Xuan said seriously, "Now, how does your heart compare to before? Has it brought you any new abilities?"
Qingqing quietly sensed for a moment and then said with a bitter face, "All my Innate Divine Techniques are gone."
She hugged Chu Xuan and began to complain. The original Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart gave her four abilities:
1. Celestial Eye Technique, which allows her eyes to break through all Illusion Techniques, see through reality and falsehood, and also enhances her vision;
2. Hearing Heart Sounds, which allows her to hear the thoughts of others, though it is suppressed by the realm, and enhances her hearing;
3. Snort Technique, where a simple snort sounds like a bell, emitting two beams of white light that can shake others’ souls, causing a short fainting effect, and at higher levels can even extract a person’s soul from their body;
4. Ha Technique, where an open-mouthed "ha" sounds like thunder, releasing a yellow gas targeting others’ souls, akin to deterrence, making them paralyzed, losing resistance ability or even dispersing souls at higher mastery levels.
Qingqing always loved to use these two moves suddenly in battles, especially effective against ghostly entities.
She even imagined that when she reached the seventh realm, she could master her Innate Divine Techniques to first extract an enemy’s soul and then disperse it with a breath, essentially a combination technique.
What was even more commendable was that these two techniques could be used both individually and in group attacks, though their effect on targets other than the primary ones was weaker, it was still quite impressive.
"They’re all gone now, completely gone. You owe me!" Qingqing said, pouting in Chu Xuan’s arms.
Chu Xuan laughed and coaxed her, "It’s my fault, it’s my fault, how about I use my remaining life to compensate you?"
He knew she had regrets in her heart, but not much resentment, and certainly no regret for what happened.
Qingqing immediately lifted her head, "You said it."
Chu Xuan lowered his head and kissed her lips, "I said it."
Her heart raced; the previous cold treatment and ruthless abandonment from Chu Xuan were incredibly painful for her. Seeing him open his heart to her again, showing tenderness, always left her with a sense of unreality.
Hence, Qingqing cherished the person before her even more, "Well, well, I forgive you then. After all, although I lost my Innate Divine Techniques, I also gained new things..."
"By the way, now that you possess the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, don’t you have four Innate Divine Techniques out of thin air?"
Chu Xuan nodded, "But some are surprisingly different from yours. That ability to hear heart sounds is gone."
Qingqing was not surprised, "That’s very normal. Throughout history, each person with this constitution has different Innate Divine Techniques, all corresponding to the seven apertures: eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth."
The Celestial Marrow constitution doesn’t have obvious active Divine Techniques; it’s essentially an enhanced version of the Innate Dao Body, with benefits in every aspect.
For example, being attuned to the Great Dao, rapid cultivation, extreme comprehension, barrier-free realm progression, insight into heavenly secrets, self-healing ability, physical strength increasing with realm advancement, the Innate Furnace and Cauldron Holy Body, and other miscellaneous attributes, basically covering a bit of everything.
Or, most special constitutions are passive like this; those like the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart with active abilities are rather rare.
Chu Xuan continued, "Currently, of my four corresponding Divine Techniques, the latter two are basically the same as yours, but ’Hearing Heart Sounds’ became ’Hearing All Things’."
"I can listen to the sounds of all things in the world, even if there’s a language barrier, I can understand the meaning. It’s not just birds and beasts, but even the sounds of flowers, grass, and trees."
Qingqing paused, "But they don’t make sounds?"
"In this regard, it’s a bit like ’Hearing Heart Sounds,’ but I can’t directly know what they’re thinking. They must have a desire to confide in me before I can ’hear’."
"Lastly, there’s some enhancement to hearing, which is at least better than nothing."
"Actually, the most interesting is the first item, ’Celestial Eye Technique’ turned into ’Seven Luminaries Divine Light’."
Chu Xuan said, looking toward the sea, his eyes focused, suddenly shooting out two beams of seven-colored divine light!
This move has great destructive and penetrating power, instantly blasting two holes in the sea, white gas rising, and the divine light even going straight to the seabed, leaving two bottomless pits.
Honestly, he wanted to complain. Isn’t this the classic eye laser? Goodness, now he feels like he’s a native superhero.
Qingqing watched in surprise, "This works too? Why don’t I have such an ability?"
Chu Xuan laughed, "I feel it’s related to a small mutation after the fusion of two constitutions."
"This divine light not only corresponds to human’s seven apertures but also to the seven luminaries in the sky: Venus (gold), Jupiter (wood), Mercury (water), Mars (fire), Saturn (earth), Sun, Moon, hence the name."
Qingqing listened, even more incredulous, "Innate Dao Body is this powerful?"
"It’s Celestial Marrow." Chu Xuan explained a bit about his constitution.
Qingqing then nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe related to the so-called ’Essence of Heaven and Earth’."
"The power of this Divine Technique can further be enhanced, but it requires risking life, consuming heart blood, and squeezing the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart to enhance its power."
Qingqing shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, I forbid you from using it that way in the future."
Chu Xuan didn’t respond directly, he only asked with curiosity, "Tell me about your constitution. Now it should be considered as ’Chaos Cyan Lotus Body’?"
Qingqing laughed and shook her head, "That’s a legendary constitution, not something a mere ’Chaos Cyan Lotus Seed’ can turn into. You really flatter me too much."
