Henry brought Alex and others to a ruined garden hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Nine Star Mountain Sect.
This garden used to be extremely beautiful and was called Eden Garden, however, after the fall of a meteorite, it was completely ruined.
Although this garden was completely ruined, the crowd of people here was hundreds of times more than before its destruction.
It is mainly because of the secret realm that suddenly appeared in the garden out of nowhere, attracting the attention of the world for some special reason. It is said that this secret realm is filled with countless treasures, and there are even treasures that could help one reach the Divine Lord Stage or even Divine Emperor Stage.
Among a whole lot of crowds, maybe only Alex knew the truth about the secret realm. It is not only because of what Verom told him, it is also because he saw many events unfolding through the Stone of Tomorrow.
When Alex arrived here, he started looking everywhere, searching for Asna. Unfortunately, he was disappointed, he was unable to find Asna.
"What are you looking for?"
When Henry saw Alex looking around curiously, he asked. He could understand the expression in Alex's eyes. Alex was clearly looking for something or someone.
Alex smiled and shook his head. But then he thought of something and asked: "Senior Henry, do you anything about Heavenly Ice Palace?"
"Heavenly Ice Palace?" Henry frowned. "Why do you want to know about Heavenly Ice Palace?"
"Eh, it is nothing. I just met someone from the Heavenly Ice Palace a few years ago. Since so many people are gathering here, I thought people from the Heavenly Ice Palace might also come. And it is also possible for the person I met before to come here as well." Alex smiled and said.
"Oh, so you know someone from the Heavenly Ice Palace? I didn't expect that. Then why didn't you go directly to the Heavenly Ice Palace instead of coming to the Nine Star Region?"
"That... I don't know where the Heavenly Ice Palace is located!" Alex laughed with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Oh... So that's how it is!" Henry nodded his head in understanding and then spoke: "How much do you know about Profound Sky Domain?"
"Profound Sky Domain?" Alex frowned but then started telling Henry, "I don't know much, I only know about the history of Profound Sky Domain and some major events that happened here." [Ref. Ch - 292]
"Other than that, I know Profound Sky Domain has two Regions. They are the Profound Region which is controlled by the Hall of Morning Sky and the Nine Star Region which is controlled by the Nine Star Mountain Sect. The entire Profound Sky Domain is dominated by these forces. No force would dare to go against these two forces."
"Hmm... then how much do you know about our Essence Sky World?" Henry again asked.
Although Alex knew a lot about Three Cultivation Lands, when it comes to this entire world, Alex does not know anything at all. He shook his head. His gesture told Henry that Alex knew very little about this world.
Henry was really surprised though. Alex is such a powerful martial warrior, but when it comes to general knowledge, he knew very little.
He did not think too much and spoke: "Actually, our Essence Sky World is very big. Other than a few shattered parts of lands such as Three Cultivation Lands and Iron Spirit Land that is located somewhere in the Valley of Death like islands in the sea, the remaining large part of the land is the true Essence Sky World."
"Our true Essence Sky World is divided into four Domains. These four domains are Profound Sky Domain, Mysterious Sky Domain, Icy Sky Domain, and Cloudy Sky Domain."
"Among these four domains, our Profound Sky Domain is the smallest and weakest of them all. As you said before, there are only two overlords of the Profound Sky Domain. They are the Hall of Morning Sky and our Nine Star Mountain Sect. These two overlord forces divided the Profound Sky Domain into two regions, Profound Region and Nine Star Region."
"As for the other three domains, there are many regions and many overlord forces."
"Heavenly Ice Palace is one of the overlord forces of the Icy Sky Domain. The region Heavenly Ice Palace controls is called Heavenly Ice Region which is even bigger than our Nine Star Region."
"Now, coming back to our main point. the secret realm that appeared in the Eden Garden is located in our Profound Sky Domain. If there are already people of other domains in our Profound Sky Domain, then they could take advantage of the opportunity to enter the secret realm. However, if the forces of other domains especially want to come to our domain in order to enter the secret realm, it is impossible to do. They can't do that, for they have no right to force their way into another domain."
"If they really dared to do that, that particular force or that particular domain will be attacked by the joint forces of other domains. This is an agreement sighed after the shattering of Essence Sky World due to some old war that I'm completely clueless about. It is also because of this war the Valley of Death appeared in our world."
"Now, if you want to ask, do I know about Heavenly Ice Palace? Then the answer is yes, I do know about them. However, if you want to ask whether the Heavenly Ice Palace will come to enter the secret realm, the answer is no. They will not come."
From Henry, Alex got to know many things. He was disappointed when he heard that the Heavenly Ice Palace will not come, but then he heaved a sigh of relief, for he finally got to know where the Heavenly Ice Palace is located.
Now, all he has to do is to go to the Heavenly Ice Region of the Icy Sky Domain and then he could go to the Heavenly Ice Palace to meet Asna.
Now that his intention to come here has been achieved, he no longer needed to enter the secret realm at all, but Alex decided against it.
It is because the secret realm is a trap laid down especially for him by the owner of the Tenth Blade of Hell. If he did not enter, who knows if that person would kill all the people inside or not?
Most importantly, Alex also wanted to meet and erase this threat from his life. Then... when he will enter the sky beyond the Essence Sky World, he would look for the other nine Blades of Hell and kill them all.
He was not planning to seal them like the Frost Moon Emperor at all. Sealing them is only a temporary solution. What Alex wanted was to completely erase this threat from this universe.
He immediately planned out a few things on the spot. His next move will be inside the secret realm.
According to the information Alex obtained from Verom and the events he witnessed through the Stone of Tomorrow, although heavily injured, Alex will be able to escape the secret realm with his strength.
Now, if we talk about why Alex doesn't have any idea about Asna and Heavenly Ice Palace even though he saw the events of a different timeline where Verom lived his first life, the answer is very simple.
The Stone of Tomorrow reacted because of Verom. The events Alex witnessed through the Stone of Tomorrow are the events related to Verom as well.
In the different timeline, it was after Alex escaped the secret realm with heavy injuries that he met Verom who also came out of the Secret Realm with heavy injuries and was on the verge of death.
Verom entered the Secret Realm to find something that could help him recover his destroyed dantian, but he unfortunately failed.
When Alex encountered Verom, he helped Verom out with good intentions and even brought him to the Nine Star Mountain Sect. After spending some time with Verom, he told Verom many things, even about the matter of being hunted down by the Blades of Hell as well as about his search for Asna.
Because he met Verom after he came out of the secret realm and not inside the secret realm, he did not know whether the Heavenly Ice Palace come to the secret or not. Coupled with his lack of knowledge about the terrain and overlord forces of the Essence Sky World, Alex had no idea about Asna at all.
"These bastards are here as well!"
While Alex was still planning his next steps, he heard Henry cursing out.
He looked at Henry and then followed Henry's gaze to look at a few people that just came to the Eden Garden.
"Hall of Morning Sky!"
These people's dress code told Alex that they are from the Hall of Morning Sky, the overlord of the Profound Region.
