Before her stood a beautiful female immortal akin to a celestial fairy consort, dressed in a light pink immortal robe, her long hair simply draped over her shoulders. Her form exuded a breathtaking classical beauty, with eyes that were warm and slightly gentle.
She was Miao Ling Immortal Monarch.
At the Jasper Pool banquet, she ranked among the top ten and was also seated at the honorable table by the Queen Yaochi as a female immortal.
For thousands of years, some curious immortals had compiled a Dao Seed ranking. Most of the ten immortals were listed, but in terms of ranking, this female immortal even surpassed Zhang Jian.
Miao Ling Immortal Monarch smiled gracefully.
"The Xuan Ming Divine Position is of great importance. Many celestial divine races and the Nine Heavens Dao Lineage in the All Heavens Void are paying attention. Naturally, Penglai Daoist Palace sent me to investigate the Nine Heavens and explore!"
"However, knowing that Fellow Daoist Zhang is serving as the Eternal Celestial Monarch here, I came to visit you, and I’ll also need your assistance with many matters!"
Zhang Jian smiled faintly.
"That’s easy to accommodate!"
However, Zhang Jian inwardly felt some trouble.
Penglai Daoist Palace was no ordinary Immortal Sect Dao Lineage; their capabilities exceeded imagination, and he had to deal with them carefully.
Upon hearing this, Miao Ling Immortal Monarch smiled slightly and immediately introduced the many immortals from Penglai Daoist Palace behind her to Zhang Jian.
Among these Pengpai Daoist Palace immortals, two or three were Elders of Penglai Daoist Palace, Immortals of Taiyi True Number level.
Though their Dao Practice was somewhat lower, each possessed specialized immortal techniques.
Some could track, some could trace origins, or had unique Profound Nether Bloodlines.
There were also a few young men and women whose Dao Practice was not weak. Among them, one was even at the Taiyi Great Perfection level, seemingly of higher seniority than Miao Ling Immortal Monarch.
This immortal was known as Cang Nan Immortal Monarch.
He had an aura of eternity and transcendence around him.
Evidently, he had surpassed the third step of Taiyi Great Perfection, though it was unclear exactly which step he had reached.
After hosting the many immortals from Penglai Daoist Palace, Zhang Jian offered them several options.
One was to accompany everyone as visitors to tour the area.
However, as the Eternal Ice Castle was the forbidden ground of the Eternal Immortal Prison, visiting hours couldn’t be too long.
Zhang Jian candidly stated that this was a rule of the Celestial Court.
The second option was to enter the Eternal Ice Prison with a special status to practice.
There were many slots available in the Eternal Immortal Prison in this regard, and considering that they were acquaintances, Zhang Jian would provide some assistance.
Clearly, Zhang Jian couldn’t, publicly or privately, lift the Dharma Ban of the Eternal Ice Castle, let alone the crucial Eternal Ice Prison.
Giving them a tour was already an act of friendship!
Miao Ling Immortal Monarch and Cang Nan Immortal Monarch readily agreed, saying that a few days would be sufficient for them.
Moreover, they understood that after all, this was the celestial prison of the Celestial Court.
The influence of Penglai Daoist Palace was vast, but not greater than the rules of the Celestial Court.
That night.
In the Ice Castle Hidden Moon Immortal Palace, this place became the lodging for the many immortals from Penglai Daoist Palace.
Cang Nan Immortal Monarch, Miao Ling Immortal Monarch, and various immortals sat together.
At this moment, an elderly Daoist clad in a Three-Star Daoist Robe, leaning on a Cangsong Immortal Staff, said,
"Senior Brother Cang Nan, Junior Sister Miao Ling, there is a Supreme Treasure suppressing this place. All our Celestial Secret Techniques and tracking magical treasures are almost ineffective, making it impossible to trace the secrets of the Xuan Ming Divine Position!"
Cang Nan Immortal Monarch and Miao Ling Immortal Monarch remained unchanged in expression.
At this moment, an immortal wearing the Winter God’s Robe, divine power flowing around him, also slightly bowed and said,
"Two Immortal Monarchs, according to your instructions, I used the bloodline tracing treasure but still cannot sense the imprint aura of the Xuan Ming Ancestor God!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nan Immortal Monarch said indifferently,
"It seems that the Eternal Celestial Monarch is prepared!"
Miao Ling Immortal Monarch sighed,
"As expected!"
The reason they entered the Eternal Ice Castle was due to concrete intelligence. Someone had spoken with certainty, claiming the Xuan Ming Divine Position was in the Eternal Forbidden Area.
It was also found that the three suppressive divine artifacts of the Eternal Ice Castle were refined from the corpse bones of the Profound Nether God.
Under normal circumstances, this Penglai Winter God, using the bloodline treasure, should evoke at least a slight reaction.
But now there was no reaction at all.
This was sufficient to prove that the other party must have been prepared.
"Had we known earlier that the depths of the Eternal Ice Castle might contain the Xuan Ming Divine Position legacy, during the Jasper Pool, it would have been a good opportunity!"
"Previously, all the immortals laughed at this Eternal Celestial Monarch. Now it seems he was well-prepared!"
Cang Nan Immortal Monarch smiled faintly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Miao Ling Immortal Monarch’s expression remained unchanged, only saying,
"We couldn’t uncover any other useful information within the Eternal Ice Castle. I fear we cannot delve deep into the Eternal Ice Prison either, so we can only leave first and find another way!"
Cang Nan Immortal Monarch nodded,
"Let’s first investigate other areas of the Eternal Forbidden Area. If the Profound Nether God indeed fell here, and the Xuan Ming Divine Position’s hidden legacy remains, it should leave behind traces of Profound Nether Ancestral Qi or even Profound Nether Essence Qi!"
His eyes flashed with a piercing intent.
"Others couldn’t have covered this matter entirely. Once we have concrete evidence, we can naturally request the elders in the Daoist Palace to preside over this, mobilizing an Inspector to the Ice Castle!"
The various immortals nodded slightly at this.
Recently, the Eternal Ice Castle has encountered successive incidents; first, the Prison God Icefield Divine Monarch secretly refined magic, then the Eternal Ice Castle Deputy Lord and Eternal Heavenly Army Commander Wu Chun Immortal Monarch colluded with demons. They could use this as a pretext to mobilize an Inspector, reinvestigating past cases or examining the operation of the Ice Castle, and so on.
