Han Yi decided not to directly eliminate the High Priest, but instead to freeze him, effectively sparing his life. This was because if the High Priest fell, the Island Master of Purgatory Island would likely emerge to investigate. With the methods of a Heavenly Sovereign being mysterious and unpredictable, it was possible that they could trace the clues back to Han Yi, ultimately casting their gaze upon the Age Candle Immortal Court.
Without the return of the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate, if a Heavenly Sovereign were to strike in rage, the Age Candle Immortal Court would not be able to withstand it.
Han Yi chose to escape into the Wisdom Realm for this very reason.
Suppressing many thoughts, he brought out the Wan Ming Tome and began to pull the severely injured High Priest's Tao Soul into the Wanming Space, transforming it into a Wan Ming Incarnation.
