Just as Ma Tianyan was being sealed in ice, in Blood Bat Mountain tens of thousands of miles away, the Sect Master ’Lighting World Demon Lamp’ Zong Shenhua, who was meditating with eyes closed in a retreat at the mountain’s peak, suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the black eight-sided colored glaze wind lamp before him.

The flame within the lamp had frozen solid, stuck there without any flicker or movement.

Upon closer inspection, a layer of thin ice could be seen forming on the outer layer, emitting a slight chill.

Zong Shenhua’s gaze sharpened slightly as he swept his sleeve, shattering and extinguishing the lamp flame in the wind lamp. He then summoned a ball of demon fire to rekindle this wind lamp.

However, the flame within the lamp remained just as still as before, with thin ice beginning to form on the outside again.

Zong Shenhua’s gaze grew even more serious.

He placed his hand on the colored glaze wind lamp, concentrating to sense the power of the heavenly rules within the ice.

"Absolute Heaven—"

Zong Shenhua lifted his head, peering northward through the window.

This Cold Heaven technique contained within the ice was also worth noting. Although its tier was not high, it was extremely substantial and solid, merging with the Cold Ice Heaven Rules to a nearly conspicuous degree.

However, the most terrifying part was the ’Absolute Heaven Technique’ within it.

Though for some reason, the person sealing Ma Tianyan’s Primordial Spirit had not fully utilized the three heavenly rules, it was already sufficient to seal the power-weakened lamp spirit.

That was an ’Absolute Ice Seal’, a force even Zong Shenhua had to respect to some degree.

Zong Shenhua frowned deeply, his chest and abdomen inexplicably surging with a sense of rage and impatience, wanting to destroy and tear everything apart.

His Primordial Spirit was also turbulent, making him uneasy and restless.

The restraint and temperament Zong Shenhua had accumulated over the years were completely ineffective, as his pupils gradually turned blood-red.

He furrowed his brow, extracting a drop of liquid from his sleeve and applying it to his forehead.

As the cool, icy energy flowed in, the blood-red color in Zong Shenhua’s eyes gradually faded.

The unease, restlessness, impatience, violent tendencies, and intense killing intent also gradually subsided.

Zong Shenhua then transformed into a beam of crimson light, shooting out of the door.

Blood Bat Mountain is a man-made ring-shaped mountain range towering over twenty thousand feet high.

Zong Shenhua plunged down to the base of Blood Bat Mountain, finding that the center of this ring-shaped mountain range had been hollowed out, with the hardest stone materials used to construct a massive underground palace.

The underground palace had eighteen levels, each strictly guarded with strong and intricate protective arrays, and countless elite disciples guarding it.

The bottom three levels, however, were guarded by various fierce beasts.

Gigantic fierce beasts tamed by Blood Bat Mountain roamed the corridors of the underground palace, including subtypes of notorious divine beasts such as Qiong Qi, Taotie, and Nine Youths.

Most were Fourth Grade, with some Second and Third Grade among them. They gazed fiercely at anyone who intruded, viewing them as prey.

Even Blood Bat Mountain disciples carrying sect tokens had to be extremely cautious upon entry, fearing to provoke them.

These fierce beasts were kept in a perpetual state of hunger and thirst, with every creature entering their watchful eyes causing them to salivate.

Zong Shenhua made his way to the very bottom level, where a vast space unfolded.

The length and width of the area stretched a hundred miles, equivalent to the entire interior area of the ringed mountain. It was dark and lightless, filled with a sinister, eerie aura.

Even before approaching, he could smell the stench of blood within and hear screams echoing out.

Upon entering, Zong Shenhua landed on a high platform.

A figure dressed as a priest stood there, his hands behind his back, looking down below.

His facial features were extremely peculiar, not necessarily ugly, yet not human-like either, with a golden vertical eye on his forehead, also looking down from the platform.

As Zong Shenhua arrived, the Three-Eyed Priest seemed somewhat surprised, but did not turn around: "Isn’t the Sect Master cultivating the ’Divine Splitting Body Technique’? How come you have time to visit me today?"

Zong Shenhua’s breath was icy, his expression grim: "My lamp spirit has been sealed, and it contains Qin Muge’s power."

"Qin Muge?" The Three-Eyed Priest muttered, his expression growing more serious: "Your aura is somewhat off, with an unprecedented strong killing intent. Did Qin Muge put you under a lot of pressure?"

"How could there not be pressure?"

Zong Shenhua exhaled a heavy breath: "Her power has recovered considerably, surpassing the battle at the Taiwei Constellation. Her Absolute Heaven Technique continues to be enhanced. I even suspect that woman might already be the ’True Spirit’ of the Absolute Heaven Technique!"

The so-called ’True Spirit’ is the entity most favored by a certain heavenly rule, serving as its representative.

One step further would be to become a ’Saint’, fully mastering a heavenly rule.

"True Spirit?"

The Three-Eyed Priest raised his head in surprise, then revealed a hint of sarcasm: "It’s quite possible. Since Pangu’s Heaven Creation, no gods have achieved anything in the Absolute Heaven Technique.

However, this heavenly rule only reaches a maximum of thirty-two layers, merely a power derived from the outer periphery of the ’Heavenly Dao’. Her chances of witnessing eternity with this rule are slim.

Currently, her cultivation of ’Sky Covering’ and ’Tongtian’ is the same. Her talent is high, but could she possibly become a ’Creator’? Although her combat power is currently formidable, speaking of future potential, she is far inferior to you."
