Treasure hunting

Lex was slightly taken aback by the revelation, though a part of him was relieved that at least Mary was humanoid. What if her original race had been some kind of spider? That would have been creepy.

"So you want to recreate a Celestial body?" he asked, while still mainly focusing on pulling out the necklace.

"That's not possible, at least with your current realm. To do that, my newborn body would have to be at the minimum in the Celestial realm, as you call it. No, I'm just trying to recreate a body that has the potential to grow back into that. While I cannot recreate a body with that minimum cultivation level, I can create one that has the same potential and talent, if not somewhat greater, of a newborn Celestial. That way I have the hope of returning to my peak one day."

"Any tips for me, as a former Celestial?" he asked, almost joking. He knew she was severely limited in what she could do.
