Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re)

Chapter 624: The Secrets of the Sky Realm

Only after years of relentless hard work had she finally secured one of the forty coveted seats within the hallowed Crystal Formation Batch, after advancing to become a Crystal Formation Mage two years ago.

Throughout those years, Shixea had never openly favored her, nor had anyone else from the royal family.

At most, her bloodline identity had merely prevented certain obvious troubles from arising.

There were many young nobles who would have gladly bullied or suppressed an exceptionally talented commoner with no influential background.

However, the moment they learned that Aria belonged to the Froststar Clan, even if only distantly, they wisely restrained themselves.

That small layer of protection had spared her from many unnecessary conflicts over the years, but beyond that, every magical resource she possessed had been earned through her own talent, hard work, and perseverance.

It wasn’t until about a year ago that Shixea’s attitude toward her had gradually begun to change, and she had started inviting her to the FrostStar Palace from time to time.

Whenever she visited, Shixea would occasionally reward her with cultivation resources that even ordinary Crystal Formation students found extremely difficult to obtain.

She would give the advanced spell manuals that she couldn’t access when she had been a member of the Elemental Sea batch within the academy’s public libraries.

Even rare magical herbs that appeared only once every few years would occasionally find their way into Aria’s hands.

There were rare high-grade elemental crystals capable of greatly accelerating mana refinement, precious potions personally brewed by renowned potion masters to increase the density of her mana and strengthen the foundation of her Mana Crystal.

Among them, the foundation solidifying potions were by far the most precious.

Such potions were produced in extremely limited quantities and were used exclusively by Crystal Formation Realm mages.

After all, the Crystal Formation Realm was not merely another stage of the divine ascension path.

It was the most crucial transitional realm in a mage’s journey, serving as the bridge between the Elemental Sea Realm and the mighty Sky Realm.

It was within this realm that a mage gradually refined the Mana Crystal inside their body while constructing the foundation of a future Magic Dimension around it.
