Chapter 372: Ice Phoenix Queen

372 Ice Phoenix Queen

"Firia, this is your master who will teach you everything. She is Maxwell Evans's wife, and her strength is equal to rank 9 God. Her name is Merry Evans, and as you may already know about it, she also has Sacrificial Fire Element. If you want to know about Cultivation or whatever knowledge, you can ask her." Lin Xingzhi introduced Merry.
Firia was wondering if there was any tradition from the outside world about this. She bowed her head timidly, "Thank… Thank you for having me… Master…"
"Hurhur, I grew up in a place where there is no custom about this. So, as long as you acknowledge me, then that is enough." She said after looking at Firia's troubled look.
"Yes." Firia nodded furiously.
"Well, I don't think I will need to send you to your home, right?" Lin Xingzhi looked at her before turning to Maxwell.
"Of course. My dear husband will take care of the rest. Right, dear?" She looked at Maxwell with narrow eyes.
"Ye-yes. I will take care all of it." Maxwell was startled and replied immediately. But, Alicia and Firia did not miss the tense he felt when he said that.
"Hehe… Although Merry's strength is not more powerful than Maxwell, Maxwell could not hold a candle against her." Lin Xingzhi said in a playful tone.
"I am just good enough to handle my dear husband. Why don't you handle your husband a bit more carefully? I am sure no one will approach him like my Husband. Right, dear?" Merry looked at Maxwell with narrowed eyes.
"My heart is always for you," Maxwell said with a tense posture.
"No no, I can't do that. We have different experiences. So, for me, I won't ask Alex to do something like that. I even thought that if one is not enough, then we will have ten. We will have an army of wives and destroy a planet if they pick a fight with him." Lin Xingzhi said with a proud tone like she had given her the best answer.
Alicia and Firia tried to envision that but to no avail. Lin Xingzhi immediately continued, "Well, It is true that I don't want that much too. I mean, the time will be split more and more. Although it is good to see many sisters around me, it also feels wrong to have so many."
In fact, she could think that way because of her previous experience. They were too powerless to handle many things. So, having an army of wives would also be good. However, she also knew that besides the timing thing, his enemy would also try targeting his wives.
It could be solved by training them into a powerhouse. But it still took a long time, and their talent would also be varied. Firia was lucky to have Fire Element, so Alex could bestow his Sacrificial Fire to her.
Alicia was also the same. With her ice element, she could be reborn into an Ice Phoenix Spirit since Vera had gone to aid Alex and left the position behind. However, if Alex had too much, they might not be able to help all of them. And if they got attacked by chance, it would become troublesome.
So, she was thinking about having one or two more would be fine. But more than that might become a bit troublesome. Well, it was different if some goddesses would fall in love with him. She did not need to increase their talent or whatever.
After all, they would already have a top talent if they could reach God Stage. Of course, if it were like Sherry, they would not mind since Sherry was one of the closest companions to him, and her talent had evolved after getting stimulated by Alex's Pure Fire. She already had a talent as a Celestial Wolf, which governed upon fire, and with Alex's Pure Fire, it was even more overbearing.
"Well. Since we have finished here, I will bring Alicia to the Ice Phoenix Spirit Tribe. Do you want to come too?" Lin Xingzhi asked Merry.
"Sure. My disciple surely wants to bid goodbye first." Merry nodded.
"Oi oi, we have agreed about this. She will have a holiday once in a month or two."
"Of course, I don't forget about that. But, if she is in a critical stage in her cultivation. I want you to not do that."
"Hmph, I know." Lin Xingzhi pouted. "Let's go. We are going to the Ice Phoenix Tribe. Zark!"
"Yes, my queen." Zark nodded his head. He teleported them again to the Ice Phoenix Tribe.
The tribal area was in a snowy mountain. It was very cold, but after Lin Xingzhi erected a barrier, the cold could not touch them. A group of women suddenly came and greeted them. All the women were pretty. But Alicia and Firia noticed all of them had light blue hair.
"We have been waiting for you, Your Highness." One of them stepped forward and kneeled in one knee. The others also followed her and kneeled.
"Orba. We are going to make her undergo rebirth and become one of your Ice Phoenix Spirit. Well, Vera's position is empty, so we will have her undergo the highest ritual."
"Of course. That is our plan from the start. We are too indebted to His Majesty, even if it meant our tribe would perish, we would gladly give up our lives as long as we can help our king." The leader, Orba, said.
"Haha, that is a funny joke. All the spirits in this place are his family. If they are hurt, he will become a demon and might accidentally destroy a world or two in the process. Well, he already did something like that in the present time. It was on a smaller scale though." Lin Xingzhi said. She remembered he somehow managed to 'cripple' the Southern Kingdom because of Putri.
"True, it is truly like him. That is also the reason why we, the Ice Phoenix Tribe, swore our eternal loyalty to him." Orba smiled.
"Well, I will leave her to you."
"Yes." Orba nodded.
"I almost forgot about this. Maybe I should explain about the general circumstances of Spirit first." Lin Xingzhi turned to Alicia. "Basically, Spirits were divided into six elements, and each spirit will absolutely have one of the six elements. The elements are: Fire, Water, Earth, Thunder, Light, and Dark.
"Of course, these elements are just basic elements. Just like the Ice Phoenix Spirit, they are classified as a water spirit. There are many others like that, but if I say all of it, I will need around a day since there are more than a thousand spirit tribes in this world.
"As for the ritual, I am sure Orba is more knowledgeable about it." Lin Xingzhi glanced at Orba.
"Yes. There are three types of ritual in our tribe. Clansmen Ritual, Elder Class Ritual, and King Class Ritual. Our ritual is very special. For our clansmen, they would enhance their attributes, which is Ice. And for another race, they could even be their race and become one of our clansmen.
"This is what we want to do now. However, there is a certain pain Your Highness needs to endure if you want to convert yourself from human to Ice Phoenix Spirit. And as Your Highness will undergo the King Class Ritual, the pain you need to endure will be several times more since the conversion process is like dying and coming back to life a few times.
"Even the previous queen, Vera, only managed to complete ninety percent of this ritual," Orba explained while looking at Alicia.
Alicia looked at Orba as she gritted her teeth. "Will that pain be even more painful than the time where I needed to say goodbye to my husband? Of course, I will do it."
She said with a serious expression.
"Very well."
"Oh, maybe you should show her your True Spirit Body since Ice Phoenix Spirit is not that different from humans in terms of appearance."
"Understood." Orba nodded. "True Spirit Body is our last trump card. We can only use this technique for one day. We need to wait for a month before we can use it again. However, for the king class, it should only be a week before you can use it again."
"True Spirit Body, Ice Phoenix Spirit Form." As soon as Orba said that. A pair of ice wings appeared on her back. Aside from that, she did not have any change in her appearance.
"This is the power that can be used for the Elder class or above."
Alicia observed her transformation. She indeed could not find any different other than her wings. However, having a pair of blue wings like that made Orba become more beautiful.
"Oh, that's right. Alex was a Spirit King, right? Since all spirits have an element, what element did he have back then?" Alicia asked.
"Ah! He…" Lin Xingzhi looked up before glancing at Orba. Both of them smiled, "Alex had the seventh element."
"Seventh element?" Alicia and Firia were confused.
"Yes. Seventh Element, no element." Lin Xingzhi nodded. "He did not have an element. At the same time, he also had all the elements."
Alicia and Firia were even more confused.
"Well, he basically could generate an element and become a normal spirit in a battle. However, he could only generate random elements each time. So, when he was lucky, he might get an element that could help him. And if he was unlucky, he got an element that was completely useless in dealing with his current problem.
"However, because of that, he became creative enough to solve every problem with all elements. So, no matter what element he got, he could use it skillfully to solve his problem. At the same time, he also used that setback to get stronger in both Sword and Spear." Lin Xingzhi said.
Alicia and Firia nodded.
"Then, how about Space Element? Which element it stemmed from?" Firia asked after feeling something wrong about Zark.
"Ah, if you are talking about Zark. Alex saved him back when he was young. And he decided to swear eternal loyalty to him too. So, here he is. Right, Zark?"
"Yes, my queen. I have sworn my loyalty to him, and that would never change. Even if I die, as long as I have a one in a million chance to recover the memory of my past life, I will follow him again." Zark nodded.
"Anyway, we can talk about this in the future. So, we should start the ritual first since Merry might need to go back." Lin Xingzhi said. All of them did not have any problems.
"Please, this way." Orba then led them to a small field in this snowy mountain. There was a circle in the center of the field.
"Please stand inside the circle."
Alicia followed Orba's word and stood inside the circle. She prepared herself for the pain.
"Your Highness, are you ready? Remember, you need to stay conscious."
Alicia closed her eyes for a moment before opening it again. Her expression became serious as she looked at Orba. "Please."
"*\u0026$(%*^$," Orba said something in their tribal language, and the circle started glowing.
(A/N: Don't ask anything about that language. I want to make it more realistic with symbols, but I can't because of rules limitations. Sorry.)
The snowing suddenly stopped as the snow-covered the circle. It looked like the snow giving their energy to Alicia. But before long,
"!!!" Alicia suddenly felt pain all over her body. Even though she had prepared for something like this. The pain exceeded her wildest expectation. "AAAAHHHHH!"
Lin Xingzhi and the others also started frowning. She could not help but ask, "Orba, why didn't you use cold to numb her sense a bit? Couldn't you reduce her pain that way?"
"This is the only way if she wants to finish the entire ritual," Orba said.
When she was about to say another word, Alicia suddenly gritted her teeth. Even at that unimaginable pain, she endured it and said, "No problem. I will endure it! Continue!"
Lin Xingzhi's body shook a little. Seeing her expression, Lin Xingzhi murmured, "Husband really chooses the right person to be his wife."
Even Orba could not help but smirk from her determination. It was already not normal to endure that kind of pain.
After two hours of agony, the sky turned to dark. Orba immediately chanted another spell, "*$^$#\u0026^."
A thunder suddenly struck her. Firia wanted to shout, but she was stopped by Lin Xingzhi. She could see that even the lightning was frozen. The snow then covered her, making a giant snowball. It looked like a cocoon.
Not long after that, the snowball suddenly burst out. Alicia appeared from within the 'cocoon' with two pairs of ice wings on her back. When the Ice Phoenix Tribe saw her appearance, they could not help but let out tears as they kneeled and worshipped her.
"Ice Phoenix Tribe, greet Her Highness, Ice Phoenix Spirit Queen!"
This was the last step that even Vera could not handle. The true Ice Phoenix Spirit Queen, AKA Ice Queen.
Lin Xingzhi could not help but have a goosebump. Even she could not predict this. After that unimaginable pain she needed to endure, she finally became the true queen. "Orba… her talent…"
"Yes. She is equal to the Spirit Beast that governs Ice Element." Orba nodded her head.
Alicia looked around. Because of the process, she was naked. However, since almost all of them were women with only Zark and Maxwell that had long been 'finished' by Merry, it was not a problem.
Alicia tried to check her body. She realized she was naked, but she did not feel any cold at all. However, when she realized she was naked, she immediately covered her body with her hands. "Kya-!"
Lin Xingzhi immediately appeared in front of her and gave her clothes.
Firia looked at Alicia while clenching her fist. Firia could endure something she might not even be able to endure. However, it did not make her lose heart. Instead, it gave her a new motivation.
"Alicia… I am not going to lose." Firia said with a smile.
"There is no winner or loser. We get stronger because we want to help him, right? Well, I am up to the challenge though." Alicia smirked.
Firia nodded before heading toward her master.
"You sure you don't want to talk more?" Merry asked.
Firia shook her head. She looked at her with great determination in her eyes.
Merry smiled. "We are going then."
Firia and Alicia looked at each other for the last time before Firia left. Lin Xingzhi only smiled when she looked at this. She was proud of her two new sisters.
