Ninth Level of the Eternal Ice Prison.
Here, it was a chaotic expanse, filled with a bone-chilling eternal cold.
Since Zhang Jian became the Eternal Ice Castle Celestial Monarch, the times he entered this place could be counted on one hand.
At the moment, Zhang Jian was clad in an ice-blue Celestial Monarch’s noble robe, Python Robe and Jade Belt, with the Eternal Ice Jade Crown on his head, his wide sleeves fluttering in the blowing chaotic qi flow.
In his hand, he held the Profound Nether Divine Staff, using its power to clear a portion of the dangerous forbidden techniques on the ninth level of the Eternal Ice Prison.
His keen and vast Divine Sense was sensing the changes within the Chaos Forbidden Techniques.
Even though he possessed the Profound Nether Divine Staff, the central hub of control for the Eternal Ice Castle, Zhang Jian was exceptionally cautious.
One of the evident rules in the conduct of the Eternal Ice Castle Celestial Monarch was to never enter the ninth level of the Eternal Ice Prison lightly.
The ninth level of the Eternal Ice Prison was a place for containing Daoist Monarch-level powerhouses.
For those Daoist Monarch-level powerhouses, even being suppressed here, there was still a sense of reverence.
Within the ninth level of the Eternal Ice Prison, there were records of three Daoist Monarchs being held.
These three Daoist Monarch-level powerhouses were sent to the Eternal Immortal Prison several Inference Eras ago, they were called Jiu Feng, Black Teeth, and another whose Daoist name remains unknown, only known to have been suppressed since the formation of the Eternal Immortal Prison, suppressed here by the Emperor of the Ancient Celestial Court.
Their several Inference Eras have been silent, leaving only their Dao Bodies here.
They might have perished, or perhaps shed their skin like a cicada.
However, both Jiu Feng and Black Teeth Daoist Monarch were renowned across the world.
One was a powerful demon and god born within the Ancient Demon God Race, with astonishing combat prowess, once leading the Demon God Race in a great battle against the Ancient Human Race’s Saint Emperor Zhuanxu.
This was a mighty demon who strode across the world with strength.
However, it was rumored that although this Jiu Feng was ruthless, she had another particular connection with the Human Race’s Saint Emperor Zhuanxu, hence she was suppressed rather than killed.
As for Daoist Monarch Black Teeth, he was once ruthless, refining countless creatures.
This was a Daoist Monarch from a heterodox sect born from postnatal creatures, swayed by the Demon Dao, oscillating between the heterodox sect and the Demon Dao, only to be captured by the Judicial Celestial God of the Celestial Court and imprisoned in the Eternal Immortal Prison before making a choice.
Daoist Monarch Black Teeth was not held here due to any relation with the Celestial Court above, but purely because he had cultivated an Undying Body, making him hard to kill, thus he was pressed into the Eternal Immortal Prison, leveraging the eternal annihilation power to extinguish his Dao Heart.
Neither Jiu Feng nor Daoist Monarch Black Teeth were benign.
Having been held in the Eternal Immortal Prison for several Inference Eras, if still alive, they would only be even more terrifying.
Zhang Jian hoped they had perished.
In the chaotic qi flow, his figure passed through, the chaotic qi flow naturally parting.
Zhang Jian also used the Profound Nether Divine Staff, All Heaven Profound Nether Divine Banner, and Profound Nether Divine Seal to sense the whereabouts of the sealed Profound Nether Divine Position.
Around him, the light of the Infinite River Map Immortal Technique also shimmered, the black and white brilliance striving to simulate the power of the Profound Nether Divine Position to induce a reaction.
Zhang Jian did not try to trace back to the origin.
The ninth level of the Eternal Ice Prison was isolated from any destiny or space-time type Immortal Techniques.
This action of his quickly had an unexpected effect, as he saw a layer of majestic divine power suddenly spread across the ninth level of the Eternal Ice Prison, faintly resonating with the three Profound Nether Divine Artifacts.
"This..."
Zhang Jian’s eyes held a peculiar expression.
It seemed the ninth level of the Eternal Ice Prison was permeated with a layer of Profound Nether Divine Position’s power everywhere.
Indeed, Wu Chun Immortal Monarch’s thought was correct.
The Profound Nether Divine Position was indeed within the ninth level of the Eternal Ice Prison.
But if he sensed correctly earlier, the Profound Nether Divine Position appeared to be the divine power source of the entire ninth level of the Eternal Immortal Prison.
In other words, the Profound Nether Divine Position had become the body that suppressed the three Daoist Monarchs on the ninth level?
If his guess was correct, then it’s impossible to obtain the power of the Profound Nether Divine Position.
Once the Profound Nether Divine Position is extracted, wouldn’t the entire Eternal Immortal Prison collapse?
The mortals, demons, and even the three Daoist Monarchs inside might emerge into the world.
Such a price was currently unbearable for him.
Just at that moment, a cold voice suddenly spoke from the depths of the void.
"Young man, do you wish to obtain the power of the Xuan Ming Ancestor God?"
Zhang Jian’s expression changed upon hearing this voice.
It was a woman’s voice, cold and indifferent, but inherently carried a terrifying majesty.
Thinking of it, Zhang Jian cupped his hands respectfully, speaking.
"Might I ask, are you Elder Jiu Feng?"
Upon hearing Zhang Jian’s inquiry, the voice within the chaotic qi flow suddenly disappeared, only the chaotic qi flow before him suddenly shifted, revealing a small path formed by the chaotic qi flow.
Seeing this path, Zhang Jian pondered for a moment and then stepped onto it directly.
With three pieces of Profound Nether Divine Artifacts in his possession and with an Innate Spiritual Treasure on his body, Zhang Jian was not afraid of the Daoist Monarchs within the Ice Prison.
Moreover, they had been suppressed for several Inference Eras.
Even if still alive, they likely had only half a life left.
Zhang Jian followed this small path through the chaos, proceeding all the way.
A moment later, a change appeared in the distant chaotic void, an ice-blue giant tree formed from Profound Nether Divine Power appeared in the distance.
That ice-blue giant tree stood as if it were amidst the chaos, its dense canopy supporting the chaotic world.
Yet beneath the canopy, countless terrifying Profound Nether ice chains interwove, trapping a graceful figure clad in a black robe, with blood-red phoenix hairpins, her bare feet hanging.
Her figure was tall and slender, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her beautiful jade-like features exceptionally exquisite, only her pair of eyes were as dark as jade, filled with an indescribable demonic allure and ferocity.
