Could these people have let down their guard to this extent?
Zhang Jian felt a heavy weight in his heart.
He didn’t know if the other Immortal Prisons were the same.
If so, a great disaster would sooner or later strike the Central Celestial Realm.
Zhang Jian thought to himself, noting that after entering the second layer of the Eternal Ice Prison, the coldness within was gradually increasing.
But this level of Eternal Cold Ice had no binding power over him.
He continued to delve into the third layer, the fourth layer, and further investigate the entire system of the Eternal Ice Prison.
The third and fourth layers of the Eternal Ice Prison held Immortal Gods in the Taiyi Realm who had erred.
Many of these Immortal Gods had faint demonic qi around them, evidently in the process of becoming Fallen Immortals.
Or they were suffering demonic tribulations, using the power of the Eternal Ice Prison to fight off the intrusion of Outer Heaven Demons.
A portion of the Immortal Gods were simply enduring the Eternal Ice Punishment.
Zhang Jian noticed some Immortal Gods were suspended high by the Eternal Ice Punishment, with chains of Eternal Profound Ice piercing through their true bodies, sealing their bloodlines and Primordial Spirits, and completely suppressing their Dao Hearts.
This was a cruel punishment.
The Eternal Cold Ice here was exceptionally dense, with a unique will of the Eternal Divine Realm flowing in the void, seemingly capable of freezing from the depths of one’s soul.
Zhang Jian noticed that in the third and fourth layers of the Eternal Ice Prison, some of the restrictions had also been artificially opened.
This was deliberate negligence, letting water through.
But none of this mattered!
Zhang Jian also knew that merely such circumstances couldn’t sentence the Icefield Divine Monarch to death, nor could it necessarily expel him from the Eternal Ice Prison.
At this moment, Zhang Jian suddenly paused, his gaze landing in front of an empty cell.
Zhang Jian noticed that this empty cell was filled with a strong, lingering sense of terrifying resentment, along with traces of demonic qi.
"Was there any Immortal God imprisoned in this cell before?"
Zhang Jian casually inquired while taking out the records of the Eternal Ice Prison to check.
He noticed that this cell had once held a junior Immortal Official from the Celestial Court.
This Immortal, named Changhai Daoist, was an active Immortal Official of the Rain Division in the Central Celestial Realm. Due to drinking and derelicting his duties, leading to a flood in the Mortal World, he was punished by the Celestial Court and sent to the Eternal Ice Prison to endure the punishment of ice blades piercing the heart!
Now, this Changhai Daoist was not in the cell, nor was there any record of his release upon completion of his sentence.
Seeing this, the Icefield Divine Monarch slightly bowed his hand.
"Indeed, this cell held an Immortal, but after becoming a Fallen Immortal, unable to endure the tortures of the Ice Castle, he was executed by us. I hope the Celestial Monarch is discerning!
Zhang Jian heard his words and sneered.
"If he was executed, why is there no record, nor any seal from the Inspector Immortal Official of the Ice Castle?"
Facing the question, the Icefield Divine Monarch remained composed, merely saying lightly.
"It happened suddenly, and this beast broke free from a part of the Ice Castle’s restrictions, so we could only respond promptly and execute it. There was no time to document it. There are many Prison Guards in the Ice Castle who can testify. The Celestial Monarch can feel free to inquire!"
His answers were airtight.
But Zhang Jian did not believe him.
He noticed that the demonic qi left in the cell and the pervading resentful aura were distinctly different, clearly belonging to two different people.
Could it be that the Icefield Divine Monarch allowed other Immortal Gods or a Demon to devour the Changhai Daoist?
Or did he cultivate some Demonic Cultivation Technique or even possess a Demonic Immortal Treasure!
Colluding with Outer Demons or privately cultivating Demonic Techniques were offenses taboo in the Central Celestial Realm.
This was an opportunity he couldn’t miss to act.
His thoughts stirred slightly, but his hand moved to form a Hand Seal, layers of black and white Immortal Light flowing around him, and the Infinite River Map appeared, starting to deduce the specific changes within, attempting to find solid evidence.
Seeing this scene, the Icefield Divine Monarch’s eyes had some subtle changes.
"I didn’t expect the Celestial Monarch to be adept at Divination Immortal Techniques?"
Zhang Jian ignored him, and after a moment, the Icefield Divine Monarch smiled again.
"Celestial Monarch, it’s useless; Celestial Secret type Immortal Techniques don’t work in the Eternal Ice Prison!
The Eternal Ice Castle is suppressed by the three Supreme Treasures, and the Nine Heavens Divine Stele suppresses the area further; no Great Divine Ability User can perceive the Celestial Secret here!"
Zhang Jian’s expression remained unchanged, but the Three Lives Stone deep within his brow emitted a faint light.
The power of this Heaven and Earth Divine Object far exceeded the three Supreme Treasures suppressing the Eternal Ice Castle, forcibly prying into some of the mysteries.
Having discerned part of the mysteries, Zhang Jian did not act immediately but continued to explore the fifth and sixth layers of the Eternal Ice Castle.
The Icefield Divine Monarch assumed Zhang Jian hadn’t discovered anything, feeling a sense of relief and a bit of ridicule inside.
This new Ice Castle Celestial Monarch indeed turned out to be full of thunder but small rain, ultimately fearing to act.
After inspecting the fifth and sixth layers of the Eternal Ice Prison, Zhang Jian did not enter the last three layers of the Eternal Ice Prison.
What he had seen was already enough.
Three days later, he preliminarily refined the three Supreme Treasures within the Eternal Ice Crystal Divine Hall.
Zhang Jian gathered the Immortals to the Eternal Hall.
Within the Eternal Hall, the Shenwei General of Divine Power Wu Chun Immortal Monarch, Spiritual Martial Immortal Official Yuan Jiang, and many other Immortal Officials of the Ice Castle entered the hall. Many Immortal Officials clearly sensed the distinct atmosphere within the hall.
The Icefield Divine Monarch was the last to arrive, he smoothly took a seat next to Spiritual Martial Immortal Official Yuan Jiang, casually chatting a bit with him.
On the high platform within the hall, seeing the Icefield Divine Monarch’s demeanor, a hint of coldness flashed in Zhang Jian’s eyes as he gazed at the people within the hall and then spoke.
