The Shining Star Above The Heaven
Chapter 1134: Queen Revania’s Problem
The avatar did not change his expression.
"So why is it that your esteemed self, the queen of a great nation, wants to meet with me?" he said.
Queen Revania smiled. "Your Majesty exaggerates too much by calling me that. What am I compared to you? I am nothing but an ordinary cultivator," she said.
"Anyway, I want to ask for Your Majesty’s help. I believe this matter can be solved with your ability."
The avatar finally showed a change in his expression. He raised his eyebrows.
"My help?"
The queen nodded. "Yes, your help."
"What is it that you need my help for?" the avatar asked.
Suddenly, Queen Revania loosened the upper part of her dress, causing the avatar to narrow his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Queen Revania did not say anything. She slowly slid down the upper part of her dress, revealing her left collarbone. The avatar had to admit that she had beautiful shoulders. Combined with her fair skin, they looked tempting to be kissed or sucked.
Still, the avatar wanted to know why she did this. He could see that she felt embarrassed inwardly, yet she still forced herself to continue. He wanted to see what she intended with this shameless act.
It was truly unbecoming of a queen, but he did not judge her too quickly.
Queen Revania slid the left side of her dress further down until she was almost revealing her left breast. She held her dress in place with her hand to prevent it from falling further. If she let it slip any more, then Aldrian would see her areola.
However, the avatar’s attention was not on that. At this moment, his eyes widened as he saw a symbol on her left breast.
The symbol was a white snow crystal enclosed within a hexagram.
The avatar was astonished because he knew what kind of symbol it was. When he focused his senses on it, he detected a dense, biting coldness stored within. It was entirely different from ordinary ice energy.
It was not something that could be detected without focusing directly on the symbol.
’The sign of a special physique. The Heavenly Ice Empress Constitution.’
He was surprised for two reasons regarding the appearance of this special physique.
The first was how Queen Revania obtained it. Did something happen to her?
He knew that a large part of the Cerdian Kingdom’s territory lay in the highlands, where it experienced snowfall for most of the year. Because of that, most cultivators there comprehended ice laws as their natural affinity.
With such an environment, it was not strange for someone to be born with a special physique related to ice or water.
However, when his real body first saw Queen Revania and checked her information through the system, there had been no sign that she possessed any special physique.
That left only one possibility. She gained this special physique artificially. She must have done something that allowed her to obtain it.
The second reason for his surprise was the nature of the physique itself.
The Heavenly Ice Empress Constitution was something extremely rare, even across the entire universe. In his long life as a great emperor in the past, he had only ever encountered two individuals with this constitution, and both were women.
This body constitution granted absolute control over all ice energy in existence.
It was said to be the strongest physique related to ice.
Even after he entered the cycle of reincarnation, from the information he obtained in the books he read in Hanlie and Xuanji’s library, there had only been one recorded individual possessing that special physique.
With how rare the appearance of that physique was, it was surprising that another had appeared, and in the First Heaven at that.
Seeing his reaction, Queen Revania smiled.
"It looks like my problem can be solved by Your Majesty. Judging by your reaction, it seems you know what it is," she said.
Aldrian stood up and turned to look into her eyes.
"Do you know what that symbol is?" he asked as he approached her.
Queen Revania glanced at her left breast. "I know the meaning of this symbol. It is a sign that I have gained a special physique, but I do not know its name," she said.
"And I obtained it after cultivating in seclusion for the past six months in my family’s secret realm. I also used one of my family’s legacy treasures as one of the cultivation source, all according to our secret method."
Aldrian was already standing in front of the queen, his figure much taller than hers. He then lowered his body to observe the symbol in detail, which caused her face to flush slightly.
This was the first time she had revealed this part of her body to any man, and even allowed one to look at it so closely.
However, she knew that Aldrian’s focus was entirely on the symbol, nothing else. She suppressed her embarrassment and allowed him to continue. She needed his help after all.
’Damnit, this is not like me at all!’ she thought as she held back her embarrassment. She could no longer remember the last time she had felt this way.
Aldrian did not care what she was thinking at this moment as he focused on the symbol. He noticed something strange about it. Parts of the symbol appeared blurry.
After a few seconds of thought, he understood what was happening and the reason Queen Revania had come to him.
’Her special physique is incomplete. The ice energy inside her is instead consuming her cultivation foundation. As far as I know, it will eventually consume everything within her. In the end, it will kill her slowly.’
Aldrian gave a slight nod.
"Do you feel an unusual coldness in your body, especially in your dantian and meridians?" he asked.
Queen Revania nodded.
"Yes. For now, I can still withstand it and suppress the coldness inside me. But as time passes, and as I continue to use my energy, the coldness grows stronger and spreads further across my body. I can feel it trying to consume the energy of my other elements, as well as my cultivation foundation."
Aldrian nodded. "You are truly fortunate. If you can still use your energy, then not much time has passed since the symptoms began. The coldness you feel right now is the side effect of the incomplete special physique you gained during your seclusion."
"The special physique in your body is called the Heavenly Ice Empress Constitution. It is a special physique that specializes in ice and is one of the rarest body constitutions. For you to gain this physique, I suspect that the legacy treasure you used must contain an extreme ice energy, something like nether ice energy."
Hearing Aldrian’s deduction, Queen Revania was surprised. She did not expect him to guess what kind of legacy treasure she had used for her cultivation. She wondered how Aldrian could know about something like nether ice energy, which should only be known to her.
Unbeknownst to her, Aldrian already knew about her family’s legacy treasure. He had learned every secret of the Ancient Blue Gate world the moment he made it his domain.
At that time, he had sensed something extraordinary within the Cerdian Kingdom. Later, he discovered that it was a nether ice crystal, a special crystal containing the coldest ice energy in the universe, originating from the ice of the underworld.
He had been quite astonished when he found it. Such a legacy could only have been left behind by someone from the higher heavens, and that person was certainly not ordinary.
Now, with the appearance of the Heavenly Ice Empress Constitution, he guessed that the nether ice crystal came from one of the past possessors of the Heavenly Ice Empress Constitution. One of them might even have been an ancestor of Queen Revania’s family.
"However," Aldrian continued, "During the formation of this special physique, you lacked sufficient energy. As a result, the process stopped midway. This caused an imbalance within your body, with nether ice energy leaking everywhere."
"It is not normal ice energy. If this continues, then as time passes, you will suffer a slow and agonizing death as your body is gradually consumed by that nether ice energy."
Queen Revania raised her eyebrows and nodded in understanding. It was no wonder she had felt something wrong during the formation of her physique. To think that it was incomplete.
"Yes, the legacy treasure I used for my cultivation has already been depleted, but I could still feel something was wrong with my body. I feel powerful, yet at the same time, I can feel my own ice energy consuming me from within," she said.
Then she smiled. "Seeing how knowledgeable Your Majesty is, it seems I made the right decision in seeking your help. I know the problem within me is not something an ordinary cultivator could solve. So, could you help this helpless lady who is unknowingly approaching her death?"
Aldrian sighed.
"You are quite calm for someone whose life is in danger of freezing to death," he said.
The queen did not reply and only smiled as she tidied her dress.
"Well, to fix your problem is quite simple. You just need to complete the formation of your special physique," Aldrian continued.
Queen Revania could not help but feel that Aldrian was returning her playfulness with a joke of his own.
"Your Majesty is jesting. If I could do that, then I would not need to come here and ask for your help. I no longer have any source of nether ice energy to support the completion of my special physique."
Aldrian revealed a faint smile.
"I apologize for the misunderstanding. What I mean is, I might be able to help you complete the formation of your special physique."
