With Xue's death, every illusion was destroyed automatically. There was no benefit in staying here for longer, so Alex thought of leaving this place. But then again, he thought of something and decided otherwise. He went to find a secluded place and chose to go through the Second Nirvana.
After going through the Second Nirvana, Alex steps into the Initial Level of the Divine Lord Stage. And other than that, he improved all way around. His Bloodline and Special Physique also improved. Other than that, his Supreme Undying Soul also went through a change.
It took Alex three days of time.
Only then did he leave that place and returned to the entrance of the Eden Garden.
Alex did not want to stay here and wait for other people to come out and discuss the sudden change in the secret realm. He wanted to directly go to the Heavenly Ice Palace to meet Asna.
But no matter how much in a hurry he was, he could not go there immediately.
Without waiting for others to return, Alex first went back to the Nine Star Mountain Sect. Then he returned to the Moon Palace and brought Eric and Slivya to Fourth Mountain Peak and helped them become Outer Court Disciples.
After that. he asked Eric for the two Source Crystals and gave them to the little Light Devouring Beast that has been staying wrapped around his arm all this while.
With these two Source Crystals, the Light Devouring Beast could finally evolve just like its mother.
After doing this, Alex once again took out the Space Beast's Core and refined it, finally evolving his High-Grade Space Talent to Profound Grade Space Talent, escaping the Super Grade.
With that, Alex could not teleport more than a hundred thousand miles at once. This was a huge leap in strength.
Only then did he was ready to go to the Ice Sky Domain.
Ice Sky Domain was located directly opposite to the Profound Sky Domain. The Heavenly Ice Palace was located in the Heavenly Ice Region.
It took Alex more than a month of a continuous journey to arrive in the Ice Sky Domain. After he arrived in the Ice Sky Domain, he directly wanted to enter the Heavenly Ice Region and go to the Heavenly Ice Palace, but he later come to know that entering the Heavenly Ice Region normally was almost impossible.
It is because there was a River of Dead which has to be crossed in order to enter the Heavenly Ice Region.
Alex could have tried to cross the River of the Dead on his own, but he was in a hurry, so he directly chose to use the teleportation circle of a powerful force called Blood Dragon Tower. But to use the teleportation circle, he has to pass through a test organized by the tower.
With Alex's strength, it was too easy for him to pass the test. But during the test, he also befriended a few people who were also trying to use the Teleportation Formation of the tower to go to the Heavenly Ice Region.
After the test, everyone who passed was gathered in one place. The elder who took their test was ready to activate the teleportation circle and lead them to the Heavenly Ice Region.
This elder's name was Josh.
This process didn't last long. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in Heavenly Ice Region through the Teleportation Circle.
This was an enormous plain, with a high road in the distance. At the end of the horizon, there were several enormous cities.
Countless figures were flying through the air, coming and going leisurely.
The density of the spiritual energy in this place far surpassed that of the other places. The speed of cultivation here was at least twice as fast as outside.
Elder Josh turned around and said with a smile, "Within the Heavenly Ice Region, there are no countries or empires. There are only cities. There is a total of one main city called the Heavenly Ice City where Heavenly Ice Palace is located. Other than that, there are also three other cities and four cultivation grounds. The city is where martial warriors often gather.
You can take a walk around when you've just arrived and get familiar with the environment. As for the training grounds, you can also try your luck.
Romy and Zack, whom Alex befriended, both nodded furiously. In their eyes, it was an honor to be able to enter this place.
Josh paused and continued: "Also, all of you have come through my Blood Dragon Tower. In the eyes of Heavenly Ice Region, you are all disciples of my tower. So, you have to behave. There are opportunities everywhere here, so go and obtain them if you could. Also, everyone has to gather here in the next three months. We will return to the Blood Dragon Tower after three months.
Those who fail to come will be punished by the Heavenly Ice Palace severally because the rule they made says that no outsider could stay in the Heavenly Ice Region for more than three months."
"I will be going to the branch of my Blood Dragon Tower here to record your information. You can move about freely now!"
Just as Josh was about to turn and leave, Alex who had been silent all this while suddenly opened his mouth and called out to him.
"You just introduced the city to us. You said that the city is a place where disciples gather. In that case, can you tell me where is the Heavenly Ice City? I want to go there!"
Alex pretended to be curious about this city and wanted to see what kind of city it was to be controlled by one of the overlord forces of the entire Ice Sky Region.
"Heavenly Ice City? Haha!"
Josh was obviously in a good mood, as he did not care about why Alex had so many questions. "Speaking of which, I almost forgot to remind you guys that you can enter the other three cities as you wish, but you must not go to the Heavenly Ice City."
Romy and Zack asked curiously.
"That is where the Heavenly Ice Palace is located. All of their identities are extraordinary, if you were to slightly displease them, it might bring about a fatal disaster!"
Josh warned them, "Since you guys arrived here, just stay in the other cities and don't be curious. Don't go to the Heavenly Ice City, otherwise, no one will be able to save you!"
Romy and Zack nodded in fear after hearing this.
"Then what do I need to do to be able to create an appearance within the Heavenly Ice City?"
Alex purposely pretended to be eager and ambitious. If he did not go to the Heavenly Ice City, wouldn't he be unable to enter the Heavenly Ice Palace and meet Asna?
His main purpose for coming here was to meet Asna after all.
Josh looked at Alex meaningfully for a moment before laughing: "In the four cultivation grounds, each place has the ranking of geniuses' fighting strength, and as long as you have enough strength, you can be ranked on those rankings. I will suggest you make your name known wide and enter those rankings before stepping into Heavenly Ice City.
Unlike the cities controlled by other overlord forces, only geniuses are allowed to reside and step into the Heavenly Ice City. This might be the easiest way to enter this city.
Alex swallowed his saliva, feigning an appearance of endless yearning, and muttered to himself: "To be honest, I was fortunate enough to meet eldest miss once, and her fairy-like face has always remained in my mind. The reason I came this time was to see her again. I really admire her. Of course, I know my limits and don't have too many hopes. As long as I can meet her once, I'll be satisfied!"
From the conversation with Romy and Zack in the past few days, Alex already heard that Asna's identity is extraordinary in the Heavenly Ice Palace. She is the eldest miss and the next-in-line head of the Heavenly Ice Palace.
After hearing what Alex said, Romy and Zack were both shocked. They never thought that Alex would be so daring to even covet the Eldest Miss.
Josh's expression suddenly became very complicated. This youth was really reckless, to even dare to say such words!
If the young masters of Heavenly Ice Palace and Heavenly Ice City heard this, they would definitely sentence him to death!
Although Josh thought this, he did not doubt Alex's words in the slightest. It wasn't strange for a genius of his caliber to say something like that. It was precisely because of their monstrous talent that they were able to develop such bold ideas. This was very normal.
It would be weird if he was always modest, never arrogant or impetuous!
Everyone had a yearning for beautiful things, so Josh did not take Alex's words to heart.
Talking about geniuses, Alex's performance in the test of Blood Dragon Tower was extraordinary. He had broken all the records even though he was suppressing his cultivation to the Perfection Level of the Holy Lord Stage. He did not want others to know his real cultivation there, fearing catching too much attention.
