"The first Dragon Emperor was a master of Space?" Alex asked with a somewhat surprised face.
The first Dragon Emperor was the human-dragon hybrid that was born to the first Azure Dragon that had come to become the ruler of this continent. From what Alex had gathered, the first Dragon Emperor had left behind no records of death, which led Alex to assume that he had broken through to the Immortal realm and left this place long ago.
It was that, or the Azure Dragon took him away when he left. That event would've happened so far in the past that there really was no way for any information to remain that long without proper care.
"Yes," the commander answered rather enthusiastically, with a surprising amount of child-like glee in his voice when he spoke about the first Dragon Emperor.
"There were many spatial pockets in the Eastern Continent, which weren't being used at all. So the Dragon Emperor, with some help from the Azure Dragon of that time, created the many challenges that Saints can go through to improve themselves," he said.
"I see," Alex said. "So the Dragon Emperor made those many secret realms, huh?"
"Yes," the commander said.
"I assume you've been to a few," Alex asked.
"I have, to all of them," the commander said. "Do you wish to challenge yourself in these secret realms, Your Majesty?"
"I don't see why not," Alex said. "My cultivation base is still low enough that I can't be considered an expert amongst the Saints, so it might do me well to go through them."
"I assume Your Majesty has a competitive spirit by nature, so I suggest you visit the Endless Shadow Abyss of the Emerald Kingdom, and the Transcendent Martial Ground of the Silver Kingdom," the Commander said.
Alex looked at the man weirdly. "Endless Shadow Abyss?" he asked. "That sounds like a place where one goes to get lost forever. Surely that's not your intention, is it?"
"Huh? No, absolutely not," the commander panicked a little. "Endless Shadow Abyss is actually one of the safest secret realms for everyone. Even Common Realm cultivators can go there and be safe."
"Oh, then why is it called what it is?" Alex asked.
"It's just that there is no light in that realm," the commander said. "So it is called that."
"No light?" Alex asked. "That's it? The name is unnecessarily scary then, isn't it?"
"Well… uhh… you could say that," the commander said. "But it was named that way since it was created, so I don't have any say in what it's called."
"I wasn't asking you to change it," Alex chuckled a bit. "Are those two the only ones I can go to?"
"Well, there is the Harmonious Balance Haven, but I don't know if you would like that or not," the man said. "There is… oh, I nearly forgot. There is one secret realm that was specifically designed for non-fighters such as you. I think you would love it, your Majesty."
"Do you mean for Alchemists?" Alex asked.
"Alchemists, Formation masters, Talisman crafters, musicians, painters, anyone," the man said. "I don't know if you would need to go through that, though. I assume you already are at the peak of what you can do."
"I… can take a look. It's never good to push away opportunities just because you think you know everything. Who knows, maybe you can actually learn something," Alex said.
"That's true, your Majesty," the commander said. "If you're going for all, you might as well go for the Boundless Enlightenment Domain."
"That sounds like a place where I can learn Dao," Alex said with an expectant look.
"Yes," the commander said. "That is indeed its main purpose, or at least it was supposed to be."
