Celestial Realm Ninth Layer, Eternal Ice Castle.
King Yu and Zhang Jian entered the depths of the Eternal Ice Castle together.
Upon returning to the Eternal Ice Castle, Zhang Jian sensed that the sole prisoner on the ninth layer of the Eternal Ice Prison, Jiu Feng, had already escaped.
Zhang Jian had anticipated this event long ago and could only report it to the Celestial Court for them to handle the situation.
Inside the Eternal Celestial Monarch Hall, King Yu had already foreseen Jiu Feng’s escape.
Jiu Feng initially sought Zhang Jian’s help to approach Pingxin Hall for aid, hoping the Houtu Earth Goddess would intervene.
However, this matter concerned Zhang Jian’s path, and both could only tacitly agree to such a transaction.
King Yu said to Zhang Jian.
"Ah Yu, the escape of the last prisoner in the Ninth Layer of the Eternal Ice Prison is also an opportunity for you, an unparalleled opportunity to transform your plans!"
"You can now use this chance to extract the power of the Xuan Ming Divine Position from the Eternal Immortal Prison!"
Zhang Jian’s eyes moved.
He then asked: "Master, the power of the Xuan Ming Divine Position is exceptionally vast. If we construct the Eternal Immortal Prison with other levels of power, will it affect the stability of the Eternal Immortal Prison?"
King Yu lightly nodded and said.
"There will definitely be an impact. The Eternal Immortal Prison was originally constructed with the Xuan Ming Divine Position as its core, and now we plan to replace it. Using merely a Profound Nether Treasure or a Profound Nether Divine Artifact as a substitute will naturally affect the divine power of the Eternal Immortal Prison. However, we can add two Supreme Treasures to assist with the stabilization, which can barely maintain the structure of the Eternal Immortal Prison!"
"But in the future, it certainly won’t easily suppress strong figures of the Daoist Monarch level!"
"You don’t need to worry about this. Since the Jade Emperor took control of the Celestial Court, prisoners above the Daoist Monarch level have basically not existed. Even if there are, they are held in Chonghua Palace within the Celestial Realm!"
Chonghua Palace, one of the Six Palaces of the Celestial Realm.
Here is where the Celestial Realm holds serious offenders at the moment.
"Master, I have several Supreme Treasures with me. Might they be used as substitutes?"
Zhang Jian thought for a moment and then took out several Supreme Treasures.
He possessed quite a few Eternal Level Immortal Treasures obtained from the Lotus King Ruins, including the Lotus King Treasure Realm, Cyan Lotus Creation Immortal Shield, Creation Immortal Tower, and World-Purifying Bottle.
Finally, he also took out the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map.
King Yu’s gaze fell upon the Postnatal Spiritual Treasure Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map, showing some surprise in his eyes.
The Postnatal Spiritual Treasure was undeniably extraordinary.
Even most Daoist Monarchs do not have Spirit Treasure level divine objects as their trump cards.
Zhang Jian was more affluent than he imagined.
King Yu took a glance and shook his head.
"Using a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure to stabilize this place is too wasteful and squanders your opportunities!"
"I think using the three Eternal Divine Artifacts within the Immortal Prison would suffice, as the three Profound Nether Divine Artifacts cannot be taken out of the Eternal Immortal Prison!"
"Additionally, we need to craft one more Eternal Level Immortal Treasure!"
Seeing this, Zhang Jian said.
"Master, will this attract criticism from the Celestial Court?"
Upon hearing this, King Yu shook his head and smiled.
"As long as the Eternal Immortal Prison is stable and not noticed by outsiders, the other Immortal Gods will not bother you!"
"Furthermore, the Eternal Immortal Prison was originally established by the Ancient Celestial Emperor, containing dominant demon fiend measures inside. These measures have weakened with time, and if issues arise, it naturally has nothing to do with you!"
"However, this matter must wait until the Celestial Court emissaries arrive!"
Zhang Jian slightly nodded.
After Jiu Feng’s escape, the Celestial Court will certainly send emissaries to question him, and he must find a way to evade them.
But as King Yu mentioned, the Eternal Immortal Prison had long since experienced instances where Daoist Monarchs escaped, providing grounds for explanation.
Even if he faces some consequences, extending his tenure is no issue for Zhang Jian.
He could seize this opportunity to permanently replace the Xuan Ming Divine Position from the Eternal Immortal Prison.
However, considering this further, Zhang Jian took out some of the Profound Nether attribute Heaven and Earth Divine Materials obtained from the Ninth Layer of the Eternal Ice Prison, contemplating whether they could be used for crafting another Eternal Divine Artifact.
King Yu glanced at them, immediately selecting the fragments of the Profound Nether Bone Staff, then picked some ice attribute Heaven and Earth Divine Materials.
Additionally, he chose three Heaven and Earth Treasure Level divine objects.
Innate Profound Nether Divine Stone, Profound Nether Divine Iron, and an Eternal Soul.
These were the three most valuable divine objects Zhang Jian obtained from the Ice and Snow Nest, apart from the Ice Spirit Fruit Tree.
Zhang Jian felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Nevertheless, it was worthwhile for the Xuan Ming Divine Position.
After all, he couldn’t let King Yu make a significant sacrifice for his affairs.
King Yu said.
"With the power of these three Heaven and Earth Treasures, combined with the fragments of the Profound Nether Bone Staff, it should be possible to simulate an Eternal Level Immortal Treasure above Tier Four to replace the Xuan Ming Divine Position and stabilize the Eternal Immortal Prison!"
"I will return to the Three Emperors Celestial Realm and ask the Agricultural Emperor to craft it for you. Rest assured, it will be flawless!"
King Yu smiled.
Zhang Jian solemnly bowed.
"Ancestor, your profound kindness leaves me at a loss for how to repay!"
King Yu smiled with a glint in his eyes.
"If you can reach the Realm of Daoist Monarch, that would be the greatest repayment to me!"
Zhang Jian was deeply moved, nodding gently.
Zhang Jian knew seeking assistance from someone of the Agricultural Emperor’s stature involved significant personal favors.
Other mentors might not support a disciple like this.
Zhang Jian made up his mind that he should repay his ancestor with all his efforts in the future.
King Yu directly departed from the Eternal Ice Castle.
However, inside and outside the Eternal Ice Castle, chaos ensued.
After Zhang Jian reported, the Immortals inside and outside the Eternal Ice Castle felt as if the sky had fallen.
A Daoist Monarch escaped from the Eternal Immortal Prison, presenting a huge threat to the Immortals in the Eternal Ice Castle that could prove fatal at any moment.
