Mystic Skill route
The unlock itself is short. The mistakes are not: taking the wrong object can kill the route, the first cast is only temporary, and the combat version works only when the target is eligible.

Go to Heaven's Pier, start Foul Play with Qiu Yuehai, and use the temporary Celestial Seize prompt on Hu Wei's Nullifying Pill. Win the contest and speak with Qiu Yuehai again for the permanent skill.

Final Qiu Yuehai talk
Do not take Hu Wei's money pouch. It is a separate target in the older route and does not complete the intended skill unlock.
Go to Heaven's Pier in Moonveil Mountain, Qinghe. Qiu Yuehai is the drinking man beside the stairs. Walk close enough for Foul Play to appear, then speak with him.
Keep Foul Play tracked. The quest temporarily gives you the object-taking interaction needed for the next step, so you do not need to own Celestial Seize beforehand.
Aim at the object named by the objective and use Celestial Seize. The required target is the Nullifying Pill, called a medicine jar in the older Chinese route. Do not take the money pouch.
Speak with Hu Wei after the pill is secured and complete the short drinking-contest sequence. Let the cheating scene finish before leaving.
Talk to Qiu Yuehai again after the contest. Foul Play must reach its completed state before Celestial Seize becomes a permanent Mystic Skill.
Current names beat old coordinates
Older guides say Shenxian Ferry and describe a wine stall. The current Global route uses Heaven's Pier, Foul Play, and Nullifying Pill. Use the old images for terrain and sequence, not for exact English UI wording.
Legacy route map
legacy CN imageThe original Chinese guide marks the route near Shenxian Ferry. The current Global quest owner is Heaven's Pier in Moonveil Mountain, so use this image for terrain context rather than current English labels.

Take the quest item
legacy CN imageThe older article describes a medicine jar. The current tracked objective calls the required object Hu Wei's Nullifying Pill; that is the target that advances Foul Play.

Hu Wei contest scene
legacy CN imageAfter taking the pill, challenge Hu Wei and finish the contest sequence. The permanent unlock arrives only after the final return to Qiu Yuehai.
Open full image| Target | Verdict | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Nullifying Pill | Correct | Advances Foul Play and opens the contest. |
| Medicine jar | Older wording | The original Chinese guide's description of the required pill container. Match it to the tracked Nullifying Pill objective. |
| Money pouch | Do not take | The original route records an old-currency pickup, a failed quest route, and possible hostility if Hu Wei detects you. |
| Hu Wei or another nearby object | Wrong target | Re-track Foul Play and reposition until the named pill is selectable. |
Foul Play teaches the interaction before it gives you the permanent skill. Pulling the pill proves the mechanic; the final conversation with Qiu Yuehai is what writes Celestial Seize into your Mystic Skill collection.
When the skill is active on a valid combat target, Celestial Seize takes the enemy's weapon and throws it back as a counter. Current references say the counter scales with weapon weight.
Limit: A grey skill or missing Use prompt means that enemy or current state cannot be disarmed. This is not a universal boss interrupt.
Target eligible loot from outside the guard's immediate sightline. This is useful for objects associated with chests, backpacks, and containers you should not approach directly.
Limit: The object still has to be targetable. Celestial Seize does not open every locked chest or ignore every quest gate.
Some quests and faction routes ask you to recover an item carried by an NPC. Cast from outside the target's view when the route supports Celestial Seize.
Limit: Not every NPC carries a valid item, and being too close can expose the attempt or turn the NPC hostile.
The skill can retrieve a visible, selectable object without walking into the same space. The original use article documents this on guarded loot and an otherwise awkward chest pickup.
Limit: Treat the live target highlight as the deciding signal; old screenshots do not prove that every modern chest remains eligible.
Eligible boss disarm
legacy CN imageThe original use guide shows the combat case: cast only when the target is eligible and the skill or contextual Use prompt is active. A grey skill means the current target cannot be disarmed.

Guarded chest pull
legacy CN imageCelestial Seize can retrieve eligible targetable objects from range. Staying outside the guard's sightline is safer than walking directly up to the container.
Open full imageIf a quest object will not move in co-op, make the player who owns the world the host and let that account cast. Guest-side behavior is not the same as Solo Mode.
| Mode | Object pull | Enemy disarm | Practical reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo Mode | Yes, on eligible targets | Yes, on eligible enemies | This is the full exploration and combat version of the skill. |
| Co-op host | Host only | No standard disarm | Use the host account when an object pull is required for progress. |
| Co-op guest | Do not rely on it | Unavailable | Current references reserve the co-op object pull for the host. |
| Online modes | Only in supported modes | Unavailable | Do not treat Celestial Seize as a universal player-disarm tool. |
Use the current English location first: Heaven's Pier in Moonveil Mountain. Walk close to Qiu Yuehai beside the stairs, then check the Exploration quest list and track Foul Play.
Leave the area, return in Solo Mode, and follow the active quest marker rather than the older Shenxian Ferry screenshot. If story progress has changed the scene, reload the area before assuming the route is permanently broken.
That first cast is a temporary quest state. Finish the pill, contest, and final Qiu Yuehai conversation. The permanent entry is awarded only at quest completion.
Re-track Foul Play, re-enter Solo Mode, and reload Heaven's Pier. If the quest says you already own the item but the objective does not advance, do not delete or consume anything; keep the state intact for an in-game support report.
Move until the required object is visible and in range, then aim at the Nullifying Pill rather than Hu Wei. Outside the quest, grey also means the current enemy or object is not eligible.
Return to Qiu Yuehai after the cheating scene. Then open Develop, Mystic Skills and confirm that Celestial Seize is learned before trying to equip it.
A learned skill is not automatically equipped in every loadout. Open the Mystic Skill menu and assign it to an available slot.
Stop attacking Hu Wei. Leave and reload the area, then check whether Foul Play can be retracked or reset. Recovery behavior is patch-dependent; if the failed state persists, use in-game support instead of forcing the NPC encounter.
Do not delete a quest item or kill a quest NPC because a community post suggests it. Those actions can make the state harder to recover. Preserve the item and objective state, then reload or report the stuck quest.

The archived tooltip is useful for matching the Chinese skill identity. Its damage, cooldown, costs, and upgrade rows belong to an older client. Use the live Global tooltip for numbers.

Open full imageApproach Qiu Yuehai beside the stairs at Heaven's Pier in Moonveil Mountain, Qinghe. Speaking with him starts Foul Play.
Take the Nullifying Pill named by the tracked objective. Older Chinese guides call its container a medicine jar.
Not if your goal is the skill. The original route records that the pouch gives old currency, fails the intended route, and can make Hu Wei hostile when the theft is detected.
The quest briefly grants the interaction before you permanently learn the skill. Complete the contest and return to Qiu Yuehai to keep it.
No. It works only on eligible enemies and states. Use the active skill icon or contextual Use prompt as the signal; grey means the current target cannot be disarmed.
It can retrieve eligible targetable objects associated with chests, backpacks, guarded loot, and some inaccessible spaces. It does not bypass every lock or quest gate.
In co-op, only the host can pull eligible objects and the normal enemy disarm is unavailable. Online use is limited to supported modes and does not provide the standard disarm.
Yes. Shexing Nanyue is a romanization of 攝星拿月. Heavenly Snatch and Pluck Stars and Seize the Moon also appear in older English material, while Celestial Seize is the current Global name.
Yes. Golden Body uses it on Shi Yi, and Dragon's Breath uses it to recover Travelogue: Toehari. Several faction and item routes also use it as the safer possession-recovery option.
