"Your Majesty, what exactly is the curse on Daughter Ancient Star?"
Lu Ren could not help asking.
The Queen walked slowly to the window and pointed at the purple moon hanging high in the sky. "That moon is the curse on Daughter Ancient Star. We call it the Purple Moon Curse. We live beneath its light, but the moment we leave its reach, we turn into statues. Once cultivators from other ancient stars learned of the curse, they were ordered not to come here!"
"The curse is that powerful? Even those in the Immortal Nirvana Realm can't escape it?"
Lu Ren was stunned.
"Even those who have reached Nirvana Transformation can't escape it!"
The Queen shook her head.
"Why does Your Majesty believe I can lift the curse for you?"
Lu Ren asked.
"You'll know in time. What matters now is helping you cultivate!"
The Queen said calmly, "Your body is remarkably strong. I expect you've consumed some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which will help you greatly in your future cultivation. Read this copy of Stepping Through the Immortal Gate first. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me!"
With that, the Queen tossed Lu Ren a book.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Ren caught the book.
"Little Fox, come in!"
The Queen called out.
Little Fox immediately came in.
The Queen wrote out an order and said, "Little Fox, take Young Master Lu Ren to my cultivation chamber. He may use any of the cultivation resources inside!"
"Yes!"
Little Fox nodded and led Lu Ren to the cultivation chamber.
The chamber stood on the mountain behind the palace, in an excellent place for cultivation.
Ordinary people could not enter the mountain. Only those carrying the Empress's written order could come and go freely.
Lu Ren entered
