Queen Revania couldn’t help but sense something terrifying from the avatar, yet she did not know what it was. At this moment, she felt a faint sensation that she could die at any time.

Without her realizing it, she was actually sensing a small amount of the avatar’s death laws that he was using to create the nether ice energy.

Queen Revania tried to bury that sensation and started greedily absorbing the ice energy that came from her surroundings and from the avatar directly. The energy in their surroundings was still normal ice energy despite the coldness she could feel, which was much colder than most ice found anywhere in the Cerdian Kingdom.

Even then, the temperature of the room continued dropping, slowly nearing the temperature of her family’s secret realm.

Ice crystals had already covered every part of the training room. However, the formation protecting the room was still able to withstand it.

Without the formation protecting the room, the outside hall would have already begun to grow ice crystals along with that biting cold.

If any cultivator below the Immortal Transition Stage passed through the hallway, their life would be in danger as they could be frozen to death.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of environment would bring great benefits to Queen Revania. However, because her goal was to complete her special physique, this kind of ice energy did not provide her any benefit.

In fact, as long as she still had an incomplete Heavenly Ice Empress Constitution, cultivating with the ice element would hasten her death. That was because the more ice energy she absorbed, the more the coldness and ice energy inside her accumulated and spread through the gaps of her incomplete constitution.

Still, she continued cultivating the method she used to complete her special physique.

As she kept cultivating, she slowly began to sense that the ice energy in their surroundings was starting to change. The ice energy seemed to be undergoing a great transformation, which made her soul tremble and feel a deep cold.

This familiar feeling surprised her, because it was the same sensation she felt from the nether ice aura and coldness within her family’s secret realm.

The coldness pierced even into her soul. It gave her an illusion and sensation of death within the ice itself. It was a terrifying feeling that she did not like even a bit, yet she still forced herself to face it in order to obtain the special physique.

As time passed, the coldness kept growing, and the ice crystals around them began to change color. From blue-white, they slowly turned darker and darker until the ice became completely black like a moonless sky.

The crystals exuded a coldness capable of freezing the entire floating land if not for the protective formation within the room.

The avatar continued focusing on shaping his nether ice energy. He kept observing the changes inside the queen’s body, sensing whether any problems would appear, such as rejection.

After all, this was the first time someone had tried to absorb his energy as a source of cultivation, even if it was not his pure golden energy. Technically, what Queen Revania absorbed was still his golden energy, but it had already changed in properties as it adapted to his comprehension of various elements.

His golden energy, which encompassed all laws, could transform into any elemental energy that he had comprehended.

In this state, the properties of his pure golden energy had already disappeared, replaced by the properties of any elemental energy he had comprehended. However, the fundamental effects of the golden energy still remained. It could strengthen the energy he unleashed, and any energy he produced would possess extreme purity.

He wanted to test whether someone could absorb his elemental energy to cultivate without any problems.

This was the first step toward his ultimate goal, which was allowing others to absorb his pure golden energy, just like the existence of Long Shentian and Feng Xuanyan.

After seeing how the Phoenix Queen mutated from accidentally absorbing the remnants of golden energy within the divine blood of Feng Xuanyan, it gave rise to an idea. He wanted his golden energy to also benefit his own family.

His main goal was to help his family grow stronger much faster than ever before. He knew they had already been left far behind by him. He wanted them to also feel powerful and be able to follow behind him. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Since he could not replicate the method he once used to create Long Shentian and Feng Xuanyan, and he did not even remember how it was done anyway, he could only rely on more conventional methods.

Through experiments. Through trial and error.

In truth, he had long been thinking about how to carry out these experiments.

Because he did not know the effects the moment someone began absorbing his energy, he did not want any member of his family to become a test subject.

This was different from when he gave them his self-created cultivation method, even though it was the first time he had created a cultivation technique. At worst, the consequences would only be ruptured meridians and a damaged dantian if something went wrong, which he had already ensured would not happen.

That kind of injury, he could still heal easily using his energy.

But this time, it involved his mighty golden energy. The mysterious golden energy that only he possessed, and at the same time, the very source of that energy.

He did not know what kind of effects would occur if someone absorbed his energy, even if it had already been transformed into another elemental property.

He did not know if he could reverse the effects if something went wrong.

That was why he did not want his test subject to be someone from his family or anyone close to him.

He also could not simply drag someone over and order them to absorb his energy. That did not sit well with him as long as he did not have a safe method for this experiment.

Using criminals worthy of death might have been the safest option. But he still felt unwilling. There was a chance they could gain benefits from it.

He did not know why, but he simply did not want to give those low lives any benefit or role in this experiment, even if he killed them afterward.

Just as he worried, he did not understand the effects of absorbing his energy. He did not know what kind of benefits those criminals might gain if the experiment succeeded, or what might happen even if he killed them later.

With all the uncertainty surrounding the experiment, he found that he did not like placing any hope in those criminals.

Because he still had not found any safe way to test his hypothesis, he decided to postpone the matter until he found a method that could make the test safer, or at least a way to reverse any effects caused by the experiment.

However, that opportunity finally came in the form of Queen Revania’s situation.

She was someone neither too close nor too distant from him. She was also someone interested in him, which made him certain that she would trust him and be willing to do what he asked. If something happened to her, he could still try to fix her as best as possible.

If the worst happened, then it could not be helped. She would have died an agonizing death anyway if he failed.

If the experiment succeeded, then it would be the best outcome. He would achieve an important breakthrough in his hypothesis, and she would grow far stronger than before.

With the completion of her special physique, she might even be able to fight someone four realms higher than her. This was, after all, a truly rare special constitution.

After more than a minute since the start of the cultivation, Queen Revania finally felt the temperature stabilize. Although the coldness was still lacking compared to the nether ice in the secret realm, the sensation surrounding her was already the same in nature.

At that moment, she finally felt something change within her body.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The gaps and imperfections within her meridians and dantian began to disappear. The flaws slowly closed, and her body continued undergoing transformation.

Although the speed of her transformation was much slower compared to when she cultivated near the nether ice within the secret realm, it was still a fact that her body continued to transform.

While she felt surprised that the creation of her special physique was progressing, the avatar could also sense the changes within her body.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he confirmed that her body could accept his energy and continue the formation of her special physique. It was a good start.

However, he was soon shocked by the way her body absorbed the energy.

She was like a black hole, continuously devouring his energy greedily, as if her body had no limit or rejection at all. Although he was glad that her body seemed to accept his energy, this rate of absorption was truly shocking.

If he had been in the same realm as her, he feared that his avatar’s body might have already disappeared due to complete depletion of energy.

As a few minutes passed, she still continued absorbing his energy without pause, and he began to feel concerned.

’She’s not going to suck me dry, right?’ he thought.
