Such power, even for a Daoist Monarch, would be extremely difficult to bear.
The group from the Pengpai Daoist Palace appeared before this Frozen Abyss.
Miao Ling Immortal Monarch and Cang Nan Immortal Monarch stood tall, and around each of them an Eternal Immortal Light ascended, protecting their bodies.
That was one of the treasures they cherished.
Yet facing the terrifying mystic cold power from the depths of the Frozen Abyss, they still felt a chill deep within their hearts.
The formidable nature of the Profound Nether Divine Power made them extremely vigilant.
After decades of searching, they finally detected the taste of a Profound Nether Ancestral Qi Fragment in this Frozen Abyss. The Immortal Gods from Penglai Daoist Palace would naturally not miss this opportunity.
Miao Ling Immortal Monarch frowned and said.
"Senior Brother Cang Nan, many are watching us. Even if we succeed, I fear we might just be paving the way for others!"
Cang Nan Immortal Monarch’s face revealed a faint smile.
"Junior Sister Miao Ling, since we desire more, we naturally have to exert more effort!"
"As for those around us, they’re nothing more than insignificant distractions. The two of us together, what do we have to fear!"
Miao Ling Immortal Monarch nodded slightly, then said.
"Others are manageable, but that Eternal Celestial Monarch is not weak, and with three Profound Nether Divine Artifacts, he might be hard to deal with!"
Cang Nan Immortal Monarch’s eyes showed a trace of color.
"I rather hope he will make a move!"
Seeing Cang Nan Immortal Monarch’s unusual words, Miao Ling Immortal Monarch was slightly astonished.
Cang Nan Immortal Monarch let out a light sneer.
His eyes showed a trace of coldness. If the other made a move, he would have a reason to capture him and inspect the depths of the Eternal Ice Castle.
Miao Ling Immortal Monarch vaguely guessed Cang Nan’s intentions but secretly shook her head.
Cang Nan Immortal Monarch’s Dao Practice was extremely powerful, just one Destruction Tribulation away from the Realm of Daoist Monarch.
His Dao Practice far exceeded hers.
Yet, he was rather arrogant.
After all, the Eternal Celestial Monarch was a Divine Body, unlike ordinary Taiyi Great Perfection Immortal Gods.
But considering the other’s reputation, she did not refute.
She was worried, and immediately transformed into a stream of light heading towards the depths of the Frozen Abyss.
In the depths of the Frozen Abyss, various Immortal Gods secretly manifested their true bodies, watching the Frozen Canyon coldly, waiting for the outcome.
...
In the Eternal Ice Castle, Zhang Jian also received the news and immediately summoned the gods to inquire about information regarding the Frozen Abyss.
The Spiritual Martial Immortal Official Yuan Jiang said.
"Celestial Monarch, the Frozen Abyss is a forbidden area deep within the Eternal Mountain Range, where a terrifying Profound Nether God Wind blows year-round. Even ordinary Immortal Gods die upon approaching, and even the various Immortals dare not explore it lightly. We do not know what secrets lie within that forbidden area?"
Gu Ning Daoist’s gaze changed and said.
"Perhaps the Xuan Ming Divine Position is truly hidden in the Frozen Abyss!"
Other numerous Immortal Officials’ eyes changed.
Above the Celestial Monarch’s Divine Position, Zhang Jian showed no emotion.
The Xuan Ming Divine Position was already in his possession, naturally impossible to be in the Frozen Abyss.
He pondered briefly, as there were few records about the Frozen Abyss in the Celestial Monarch’s Mansion. It was only noted as one of the realms within the Eternal Forbidden Area, where one Eternal Celestial Monarch perished while exploring.
Zhang Jian did not have much curiosity about such places.
Seeing all the Immortals’ attention focused on the depths of this Frozen Abyss.
He was content with the peace and quiet.
Now his Dao Heart was gradually becoming purified and complete, the worldview of a Daoist Monarch already took shape, and next, he just needed to consolidate it. Then he could proceed to the fourth step to sever Fate.
With the Three Lives Stone, this step was not too difficult for him.
...
Soon after, King Yu’s true body descended upon the Eternal Ice Castle.
Zhang Jian led the entire Eternal Ice Castle in welcoming him.
He was a true Daoist Monarch, and moreover an Ancient Saint Emperor, an experienced Daoist Monarch. His arrival brought pressure to the many Immortal Gods in the Eternal Ice Castle.
Although King Yu came lightly, he intended to support Zhang Jian, thus revealing the grand aura of a Saint Emperor descending to the mortal realm, suppressing countless Immortal Gods within billions of kilometers with overwhelming Divine Power.
Even if any Daoist Monarchs hid in the shadows, seeing this scene, they could not help but withdraw.
At this moment, among the remaining disciples of the Penglai Daoist Palace outside, many could not help but look at each other.
Penglai Daoist Palace originally intended to use the authority of their sect elders to suppress the other’s Evil Qi, but now their elders hadn’t come, yet the other’s elder had already arrived.
And it was the Ancient Saint Emperor himself who descended.
Penglai Daoist Palace had entities capable of challenging this Ancient Saint Emperor, but even if they were to come, it would take some time.
The Immortals momentarily felt anxious.
They were also worried the Xuan Ming Divine Position might fall into the hands of this Ancient Saint Emperor.
...
After King Yu descended, Zhang Jian directly led him into the depths of the Eternal Ice Prison.
Zhang Jian did not enter the ninth layer of the Eternal Ice Prison.
He awaited news outside the ninth layer of the Eternal Ice Prison.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Jian didn’t wait long and moments later, King Yu’s figure emerged from the ninth layer of the Ice Prison again.
He carried an air of calmness.
Without saying a word, he returned to the Eternal Hall.
Seeing Zhang Jian’s expression, he said.
"I have already dealt with this matter!"
Zhang Jian heard this and couldn’t help but ask. "Did Ancestor slay Jiu Feng?"
"No, I did not!"
King Yu shook his head.
Zhang Jian lifted his gaze, and there was no surprise in his eyes.
He could sense Jiu Feng’s aura still within the ninth layer of the Eternal Ice Prison.
There was also no sign of any great battle inside.
King Yu’s gaze carried a sigh.
"It’s not that she couldn’t be slain, she’s very weak now, weaker than you’d imagine, but slaying her might harm your future Dao path!"
Zhang Jian’s expression shifted, lifting his head.
King Yu said.
"If you slay her, you would surely earn the ire of His Majesty Houtu!"
"You might not know, His Majesty Houtu was also of Ancient Demon God Race origin, and stood alongside the Profound Nether God. Jiu Feng, an Ancient Demon God of the Profound Nether Tribe, had some affinity!"
"But I cannot simply watch her emerge and pose a threat to the Human Race, or even to your safety. That’s why she agreed to swear she wouldn’t seek trouble with you or the Human Race for one Inference Era after emerging!"
"Moreover, she must refrain from deliberately slaughtering Human Race beings!"
"During this Inference Era, if you successfully become a Daoist Monarch, you won’t fear her threat!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded, though a hint of emotion still remained in his eyes.
This ancestor had great confidence in him.
But proving himself as a Daoist Monarch was incredibly difficult.
He had already taken three steps out of seven, but the next four steps were each as challenging as ascents to the heavens.
However, with the temporary resolution of the hidden threat posed by Jiu Feng, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Moreover, with King Yu suppressing the soon-to-arrive Inspector Immortal Envoy of the Eternal Ice Castle, he could focus on preparing to sever Fate in the fourth step.
King Yu then said, "As for separating the All Heaven Profound Nether Ancestral Qi, I will assist you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s eyes brightened.
This was his most pressing concern.
Originally, he planned to wait until he proved his Dao as a Daoist Monarch before dealing with it. But with Ancestor Yu’s involvement, there would surely soon be a solution.
