However, if he wants to take down the opponent, he naturally wants everyone else to have no objections.
To catch a thief, you need to gather evidence.
Of course, if there is no hard evidence, he can fabricate it.
He is certainly not a gentleman with integrity.
Having served as an emperor, he leans more toward being the sole authority.
Those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish.
With a wave of Zhang Jian’s hand, an invisible force seemed to pass through endless space-time, directly reaching the brow of the Icefield Divine Monarch.
The Icefield Divine Monarch’s figure, upon entering the alternate space-time passage, suddenly froze, and his entire form was abruptly seized by a mighty force, clamped tightly in the void. His face turned red, his pupils contracted, yet he was suppressed by this force, directly slammed onto the earth, kneeling.
Under the mighty force, all the ice-blue aura around him shattered.
His figure fell further into the ground, leaving only a head protruding above the surface.
He raised his head, just in time to see Wu Chun in the distance, and let out a miserable cry.
"General Wu Chun, Vice Commander Yuan save me, this god is clearly using this as an excuse to eliminate dissidents, aren’t you two worried about becoming the next targets?"
On the celestial throne, seeing this scene, Zhang Jian didn’t immediately deal with him, but directed his eyes towards Wu Chun.
"General Witch, do you think he makes a valid point?"
His gaze held a subtle sense of inquiry.
Wu Chun Immortal Monarch’s facial muscles slightly trembled.
He secretly gritted his steel teeth, and said in a deep voice.
"This scoundrel is malicious, even now trying to drag others down. I plead with the Celestial Monarch to publicly rectify him!"
Seeing Wu Chun yield, Zhang Jian’s mouth revealed a faint smile, and with a wave of his hand, he swiftly collected the true body of the Icefield Divine Monarch into the depths of his palm, and opened a passage leading to the 7th Layer of the Eternal Ice Prison, sending him into it.
"Alright then, with both witnesses and evidence, today I will strip this god of his divine position and cast him into the Eternal Ice Prison, to be executed on a chosen day!"
Zhang Jian did not immediately kill the Icefield Divine Monarch.
The Icefield Divine Monarch no longer had a chance to resist, yet he still held significant value, such as involvement in bribery, and he seemed to have leverage on many Immortal Gods within the Eternal Ice Castle. Leveraging him would allow Zhang Jian to fully control the Immortals of the Eternal Ice Castle.
This would save him a lot of time.
Handling Zhang Jian’s agenda thereafter proceeded much smoother, as many adjustments to the rules of the Eternal Ice Castle went smoothly.
Against the flaws of the Eternal Ice Castle, Zhang Jian’s reform was very successful.
However, Zhang Jian did not want to completely cut off the financial pathways within the Eternal Ice Castle.
The Eternal Ice Castle can no longer allow Immortal Gods unauthorized entry, but Prison Guards are still permitted to give some Immortal Gods special treatment. Yet, this treatment cannot violate the Celestial Court, and must not discreetly employ punitive measures, only offering certain favors to avoid as many extreme punishments.
Additionally, entering the Eternal Ice Castle for cultivation will require his personal review and approval, determining the origins and foundations of those Immortal Gods.
Despite Zhang Jian’s increasingly stringent demands, falling upon the ears of many Immortal Gods, it was comforting to them.
It appears this newly appointed Eternal Ice Castle Celestial Monarch is not so aloof as to be unsympathetic.
He simply dislikes anyone who opposes him.
This is quite normal, as many leaders dislike such subordinates.
...
After the meeting concluded, numerous Ice Castle Immortal Officials left with complex emotions, needing to make significant mindset adjustments.
Undoubtedly, from now on, many Immortal Gods within the Eternal Ice Castle must readjust their attitudes.
As for those unwilling, the fate of the Icefield Divine Monarch is evident there.
Within the Eternal Hall
Zhang Jian slowly descended from the throne, the ripples in his gaze ebbing.
Undoubtedly, after today, he’s made an enemy of another Celestial Daoist Monarch.
The Prison King Daoist Monarch.
The Prison King Daoist Monarch is quite renowned among the Celestial Dao, influencing many Prison Gods who revere him as a founding master.
Nonetheless, Zhang Jian remains unperturbed by this.
It’s the same maxim.
Immortal Gods who don’t offend others are simply mediocre.
But he must hasten his cultivation pace.
Zhang Jian has not forgotten his first goal upon entering the Eternal Ice Castle is to utilize the power of Eternal Cold Ice to refine his Dao Heart, seeking the capital to advance to the Daoist Monarch Realm swiftly.
Now that these affairs are settled, he ought to calm his mind and focus on cultivation.
Currently, the Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi has been widely disseminated across various Celestial Realm dimensions governed by the Celestial Court, as well as deep into the Great Realm. He intends to utilize this for the transformation of the Ancestral Qi Dao Fruit, evolving the Ancestral Qi Foundation.
To step from Taiyi Great Perfection to the Daoist Monarch Realm, there are seven steps.
The first step involves transforming the Ancestral Qi Dao Fruit, the second step evolves the Ancestral Qi Foundation. He can complete these in a very short time, and as for the third step of perfecting the Dao Heart, he can rely on the power of the Eternal Ice Castle Celestial Monarch divine position to tread over.
...
Eternal Ice Crystal Divine Hall.
This palace is the core secret location of the Ice Castle. The massive hall is constructed from Eternal Ice Crystal Divine Marrow, primarily in a mystical blue tone, with crystal silver transparent walls.
At this time, it’s permeated with countless strange cold forces, cold to the bone.
Not only is it guarded by Forbidden Techniques, but also suppressed by Supreme Treasures.
Contained within are three Supreme Treasures: the All Heaven Profound Nether Divine Banner, the Eternal Divine Seal, and the Profound Nether Divine Staff.
Each of the three Immortal Treasures belongs to Tier Four Eternal Immortal Treasures, suppressing respectively the Eternal Divine Realm, the Eternal Ice Castle, and the Eternal Ice Prison.
The power of the three Eternal Immortal Treasures is extraordinarily formidable.
There’s actually a fourth Supreme Treasure, the Nine Heavens Divine Stele.
Born from the Central Celestial Realm, it’s a Realm-Subduing Treasure, buried within the Eternal Ice Castle. Zhang Jian, as the Eternal Ice Castle Celestial Monarch, has no authority to wield it, only to guard it.
