573 Underworld\'s Information

Alex continued his conversation with Nelson and the others without knowing. Even though there were Nano and Noel on the Northern Continent, no N squad in that ship, so no one would know the fate of Song Yu.

Hearing Nelson\'s reasoning, Alex could picture that there should be a few Martial Monarchs that brought so many people. If they killed a few while sparing one or two, they would inform the sect and request reinforcement. Seeing a thousand disciples becoming hostages, the sect would surely make a move.

"In case they are bringing more people and getting killed by us. They would surely send another wave because their face wouldn\'t let a mysterious influence like us attack them... or at least allow us to escape unscathed. They want to show dominance against us." Alex said calmly. "In that case, we can find some places for a base where we can destroy them easily by putting traps and other things."

"Yes. Young Master is right. If you want a place, I have a few candidates so that Young Master can check it out first." Nelson nodded.

Alex pondered for a moment before taking out the note that Teodross gave him. "There is another realm that I need to visit on this continent. It\'s better if we have a little base around that area and discover that place first."

Nelson nodded. Alex never read the message, so Nelson didn\'t know about the information because there was no memory about it.

Anna and Anya also came closer, reading the message together.

"In the Cursed Land stood tall a vast realm like none other. Inside the realm were a race with tiny figures and forging affinity, a mutated race that looked like a living death, a race with animal parts with their body. The Cursed Land had transformed them into such a being after infecting them for a few millennials."

Alex read this message and fell into silence. The mystifying explanation made him speechless. He couldn\'t help but comment, "Isn\'t this a Dwarf, Beastman, and Undead?"

"Alex… They might have a different name, you know. This is why it\'s better to describe their appearance than their race name." Anna reminded him while Anya shrugged her shoulder.

"I\'m just joking." Alex sighed before reading the second part.

"Open the door inside, and the outside will show themself. To fuse the elemental gem and make a true Spiritual Weapon, you need the altar of the third race, the pure blood of the second race, and the first race\'s skill."

Alex pondered for a moment before commenting, "I see. To put it simply, I need a beastman blood, a Dwarven Skill, and Undead\'s altar."

"Yeah. You can say it like that. Still, there are two problems that we need to deal with. First, we need to know their power level, how strong they are, and their number. The other problem is how we will get their cooperation." Anya remarked while crossing her arms.

"Indeed." Alex continued to read the note again.

"The third race would recognize the Dragon and Phoenix Aura in your body, but they also wanted to see the outside world, AKA, the Sacred Continent. However, they had yet to realize that the world didn\'t take their races kindly.

"If that happens, just accomplish their dream and let them see reality. From my understanding of their race, they should give up that dream after knowing the reality. In fact, you might get their favor and help you if needed."

"This…" Alex had a complicated expression at the moment, not knowing what to say about this message.

"If they are strong, I think it is worth it to get their favor. We can use that favor to attack Black Devil Sect." Anya said while frowning.

Alex looked at her for a few seconds and fell into deep thought. As she said, they would be a good fighting force in a battle against the Black Devil Sect… albeit they didn\'t know how strong the people inside the realm were.

"So, how is our plan?" Anna asked.

"Let me ponder a bit." Alex and Anya said at the same time.

After a few minutes, they exchanged looks as if they had the same plan. Then, Anya started explaining their plan.

"We will go to the event one month later. We need to search for a way to get inside the realm since looking at the situation, there are going to have many people inside. Nelson won\'t be going with us inside, so we should utilize Namran and Njomo to track our enemies inside.

"After that, we would kill a few thousand of them before going to the realm called Underworld. Alex, you have the map of this place, right? Why don\'t you take it out?" Anya asked.

Alex nodded and took out a map. However, the map didn\'t resemble the Northern Continent at all. At first, they thought it was the Northern Continent map from a few thousand years ago, but it would seem that wasn\'t the case.

"Nelson, do you know about this Cursed Land? And where are they?"

"No. I never heard about the Cursed Land, but I have indeed heard about Cursed Night Forest." Nelson shook his head in disappointment.

"Cursed Night Forest?" Alex pondered for a moment. "Maybe we can check that place first since it\'s the only clue we have. The forest might be the entrance for this special realm. Just like the clue said, open the door inside, the outside shall appear before you. This might be the reason why you don\'t know… or at least you don\'t recognize it."

"I apologize, Young Master. I am too useless against Array Master, especially with their concealment array. Although I have understood Array to a certain degree, if one mastered the way of arrays such as yourself, it\'s impossible for me to track the array." Nelson apologized while bowing his head.

"It\'s not your fault. In fact, My pride will be hurt if you can find my Special Realm easily." Alex shook his head, telling Nelson not to apologize. "In any case, we have a month of free time so that we will check the entrance first. If this is not the entrance, then we should check this whole continent."

"Understood."

"This map might be the map of that special realm. Now that I look about it, there are three marks that symbolize each race." Alex pointed his finger at the map.

Anya and the others nodded. Anya said, "I will ask Artur to investigate the Special Realm of Martial Arts Pavilion… and acquire the ticket if possible."

"Yeah." Alex nodded before changing the topic back to the track. "After that event, we will handle the reinforcement from Black Devil Sect before going to this Special Realm. If possible, I want to finish my Spiritual Weapons first before destroying the Black Devil Sect."

"Yeah. After we finish our business in the Underworld, we should destroy the Black Devil Sect." Anya nodded in agreement."

"When are you going to the Heavenly Continent?" Anna asked an important question.

Alex was stunned and fell into deep thought. "Ehm… Actually, I am also confused about this. First of all, the biggest influence there should have at least 9-Star Martial Saint as their strongest if not 10-Star. I am not even a Martial Monarch, much less Martial Saint. If I come to that place without any preparation, the only outcome would be death.

"In that case, when should I go there? My plan is to reach at least 5-Star Martial Monarch Stage?in this place, so I can have the power to fend them by raising your level with the EXP Card." Alex replied honestly.

"This will be hard though. I mean, without an insane boost, it will take around one year to reach peak Martial Monarch. Even if we use the special realm of Martial Arts Pavilion, it would still take six months at the very least. You also need to consolidate your power, which will take around two months." Anna furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yeah. We should safely assume I need one year to reach Martial Monarch because I still need to deal with the Black Devil Sect. In that case, I will go toward the Underworld when I reach Martial Monarch, how is that sound?" Alex nodded before asking.

"Sounds good to me. You can level up to Martial Saint anyway." Anya approved Alex\'s plan. With a single approval from her, Anna and Nelson couldn\'t raise any objection.

"I will need to reinforce my Special Realm… or at least make two of it so when the first one breaks, the second one still holds. After all, I don\'t want the incident from Stina\'s world to repeat, considering this world is far more dangerous than her world." Alex sighed.

"Yeah. We don\'t know how powerful the tribulation is this time. Maybe we should raise some money again? That\'s right. You also need to learn about Array and Alchemy before reaching Martial Monarch. This will also take some time." Anna frowned.

"That\'s why I said we could safely assume it will take a year to reach Martial Monarch." Alex nodded.

"Oh." Anna became silent again after realizing it was already inside Alex\'s calculation.

"Then, we need to find a way to reach the 5-Star Martial Monarch inside the realm before attacking the Blood Devil Sect and going to the Heavenly Continent." Alex finished explaining his plan.

"Yeah. Though you will need to consolidate your power first, which means you are going to be a 6-Star Martial Monarch at that time." Anya corrected him.

"Indeed." Alex nodded before turning to Nelson. "Nelson, where is the best place to kill monsters? I want to use Narman, but I don\'t have EXP Cards, so I want to ask the others to kill monsters to raise his level."

"There is one in our northwest… Around five hundred kilometers. It\'s in a vast plain called Gerren under Likas Kingdom\'s jurisdiction. The place is full of Martial Emperor monsters and a few Martial Monarchs. Not many people want to venture in that area because of this." Nelson explained while pointing at a certain direction. He knew Alex would use his teleportation, so he pointed at the direction.

Alex nodded and recalled all spirits and teleported. As Nelson said, it was a place full of monsters. He quickly summoned his spirits.

"I want you to kill the monsters in this area while…" Alex pondered for a moment before continuing, "Nelson and I will check the Cursed Forest. Sherry, Kyle, and Stina will be with me to provide more firepower."

In fact, the reason Alex brought Sherry and the others because he couldn\'t recall them like the spirits. If things turned different than they expected, Alex could just recall the spirits.

"Understood." The spirits nodded their heads in unison.

"One question. What should we do if we encounter the people around here? Especially from Black Devil Sect?" Anya asked.

"If they are from Black Devil Sect, no need to hesitate and kill them. Other than them, just avoid them for safety reasons. We don\'t want anyone to be suspicious of us for the time being." Alex answered.

"Alright. I will take charge of this group." Anya nodded, satisfied.

"Then, I am going." Alex nodded before teleporting toward the Martial Arts Pavilion. After that, he summoned Artur to investigate the special realm requirement and acquire a single ticket for him.

Artur nodded. Although it wasn\'t his specialty, he could at least do that much. Alex chose Artur because he would be less suspicious and blend very well.

After dropping Artur off, Alex quickly made his way toward the Cursed Forest.
