Obviously, there are powerful celestial beings who have laid down strict and eerie forbidden techniques around the Eternal Ice Castle.
The fierceness of the forbidden technique inside is formidable, even making Zhang Jian feel it is troublesome.
Yet it still could not defeat him.
A cyan bright moon appeared behind his head.
The Tier Two Eternal Immortal Treasure Lotus King Treasure Mirror emerged, illuminating the void and revealing all the forbidden techniques.
He slipped into it.
His form manifested as an invisible immortal light, swiftly breaking through layers of ice crystal cold stars.
In just a few hours, he approached the core of the Eternal Ice Castle.
He was already proficient in Heaven and Earth Great Dao Rune Techniques, and after achieving divinity, his knowledge expanded, and his proficiency grew deeper.
However, upon reaching this place, Zhang Jian chose to stop intentionally.
Before his eyes, layers of unique cold currents formed a peculiar blue three-dimensional cold ice treasure wheel that rotated, with ice wheels inside slowly turning, lifting the Eternal Ice Castle into the depths of the void.
The ice-blue radiance flowed within, profound and unpredictable.
Even when Zhang Jian merely glanced at it, he felt an intense chill penetrate his eyes, directly into his soul, ice sealing his Dao Heart.
Within the sun-like three-dimensional ice wheel, who knows how many terrifying forbidden techniques lay hidden.
Zhang Jian could confirm it was definitely deployed to fend off techniques at the Daoist Monarch level and even block those at the Immortal Venerable level or higher.
Forcing entry was now meaningless.
Moreover, Zhang Jian’s infiltration here was essentially to examine the defenses of the Eternal Ice Castle.
At this moment, he gave up infiltration, directly presenting the Immortal Seal of the Eternal Ice Castle Celestial Monarch.
An immortal light aimed at the core of the forbidden techniques within the Eternal Ice Castle.
Deep within the Eternal Ice Castle, an inviting immortal light immediately emerged, speeding toward Zhang Jian, enveloping him and bringing him into the depths of the Eternal Ice Castle.
Within the Eternal Ice Castle.
The moment the Immortal Seal emitted immortal light, the Defense Commander stationed at the Eternal Ice Castle, who was currently the Master of Ice Castle, immediately sensed it.
In the depths of the ice-crystal colored Ice Castle, a middle-aged man with a slim figure, wearing an ice-blue robe, was awakened from the Celestial Monarch’s Mansion; an ice crystal forehead ornament in the shape of a droplet hung from the center of his forehead, with a trace of an indescribable expression in his deep eyes.
"What’s destined to come will eventually come!"
He murmured, organizing his attire instantly, summoning numerous celestial guardians of the Eternal Ice Castle to greet them before the Ice Castle.
Before the Immortal Castle, formed from ice crystals.
A majestic immortal light descended from the void, instantly arriving before the Immortal Treasure.
Within the immortal light, an imposing celestial being emerged, exuding chaotic qi flow, stepping out. He donned a green immortal robe, embroidered with dragon patterns, his eyes resembling stars in the sky, brows like swords, wearing a tall crown, leaving an unforgettable impression at first sight.
From afar, there were dozens of celestial beings lined up before the Ice Castle. Upon witnessing this scene, they immediately bowed.
"Great Commander of the Eternal Ice Castle, Shenwei General Wu Chun, leading the twelve commanders of the Eternal Ice Castle Defense Army, greets the Ice Castle Celestial Monarch!"
At this moment, Zhang Jian gazed at the assembled immortals, and Wu Chun Immortal Monarch entered his sight first.
Before entering the Eternal Ice Castle, Zhang Jian knew that the previous Master of the Eternal Ice Castle was Wu Chun Immortal Monarch.
Wu Chun Immortal Monarch also belonged to the Eternal Divine Realm, one of the two major commanders of the thirty-thousand Eternal Celestial Soldiers, his Dao Practice not weak, being a mighty deity of Taiyi Great Perfection.
This was a senior celestial being with significant experience.
Since the departure of the Master two terms prior, the Eternal Ice Castle had been temporarily managed by Wu Chun Immortal Monarch.
The other major commander was Spiritual Martial Immortal Official Yuan Jiang.
This was a celestial being of the Taiyi Celestial Immortal level.
Zhang Jian subsequently set his gaze upon the other twelve Commanders of the Defense Camp, all of whom possessed Dao Practice at the Taiyi True Number level, with a few at the Taiyi level.
The strongest among them merely neared the realm of the Taiyi Celestial Immortal.
Yet, this configuration in the Celestial Soldier Camp was considered high-standard.
Typical Celestial Soldier units lacked such configurations.
The thirty-thousand Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals surrounding the Eternal Ice Castle were also an elite high-standard force.
Aside from the twelve commanders, there was a portion of assistant officers configured within the Ice Castle, such as the Inspector Immortal Official, Chief Clerk, and Finance Department Immortal Official, in charge of the supplies for the Eternal Ice Castle Celestial Soldiers. Most of these immortal officials were appointed by the Celestial Court, although they fell under Zhang Jian, the Eternal Ice Castle Celestial Monarch. Their special status meant Zhang Jian couldn’t arbitrarily dismiss them when vacant positions emerged; he had to report to the Celestial Court first to replace them.
They were also middle-level immortal officials.
Of course, if Zhang Jian, as the Master of the Eternal Ice Castle, insisted on replacing them, they wouldn’t have much ability to resist.
As for other middle to junior-level immortal officials, they were directly influenced by the Master of the Eternal Ice Castle.
They could be directly replaced without reporting to the Celestial Court first.
Therefore, their feelings towards Zhang Jian, the newly appointed Ice Castle Celestial Monarch, were complex, with respect and unease in equal measure.
Zhang Jian’s gaze swept across them, his immense Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit power unhidden, causing all the gathered immortals to bow their heads.
At that moment, Zhang Jian calmly spoke.
"All of you have been considerate!"
He smiled slightly, his eyes sweeping over the immortals again, and continued.
"I have just arrived and am unfamiliar with the Eternal Ice Castle and the Eternal Ice Prison, so I hope all of you will lend your full support, united together!"
His expression remained composed.
Upon hearing this, the immortals responded in unison.
"We await the Celestial Monarch’s command!"
"Very good!"
A trace of satisfaction appeared in Zhang Jian’s eyes, and he immediately dropped his gaze on the gathered immortals, lightly saying.
"If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can speak up. Even if I make mistakes, I am tolerant. I have always valued fairness in my actions!"
