After cutting through the Tribulation and four peaceful days to wholeheartedly create a new Sacred Flame. The effort and hardship Shenzi and Catherine pulled through had finally paid off.
At this time a bunch of notifications ring in Shenzi's mind.
"Congratulations, the host has created the Blazing Ice Heart Sacred Flame."
"Congratulations, the host had successfully consumed the Tribulation. After the host has once again become whole the Retribution Flame, Equinox Flame, and newly acquired Blazing Ice Heart Sacred Flames have successfully been connected. The host can freely combine either two of the Sacred Flames to give birth to a variant for a limited time based on the prowess of your Spirit Force. In desperate straits fusing all three assuming you're under the influence of Sun Avatar Body can be doable beware your life WILL BE IN DANGER FROM THE OVERDRAFT."
Having been awoken by the nudging of Catherine, Shenzi comes back to reality no longer lost in the notifications given by Tears Of Rose. Catherine kowtows in front of Shenzi in respect "Thank you for your assistance Shenzi. After our strength improves more to save my mother and father, I hope that you will allow me to follow you on your travels. After meeting you and seeing your heavenly strength, I feel like all this time I have been a frog in a well compared to you."
Patting Catherine's shoulder, Shenzi says "If you're willing to leave this world that's your birthplace be my guest, I'm not the one with an emotional connection to this place. However, before that, I still need to become stronger and face more crisis. I am not strong enough yet to shoulder the fate of my homeland on my shoulders yet."
Knowing Shenzi's desire for power and seeing his downtrodden state. Catherine bites her lips but finally gives in. "In this world, the reason why our strongest experts are only at the third stage. Most of them have already entered the Abyssal Prison. In there the strongest our world holds is a peak third stage expert. If you must, I will give you the coordinates to enter the Abyssal Prison. Be warned there are not just Humans and Demons. There are hundreds of other races with unique bloodlines and inheritances. The most frightening thing about the peak expert when one becomes of the fifth stage. One can consolidate their Domain. This expert has already created his Domain two stages early, and it's of Slaughter which gives him terrifying burst strength."
Thanking Catherine for the information, Shenzi leaves having gotten the coordinates of Abyssal Prison. Shenzi returns to Reinhardt City along the way bringing the Elves and Dwarves with him, setting up their residence Shenzi gives all his blueprints to them, as well as his forging technique Revolutionary Life. With the diagrams in hand and Revolutionary Life, with the Dwarves talent in blacksmithing, Reinhardt City will once again expand and become an indestructible city of iron.
After settling the Dwarves in Shenzi goes to the elves leaving them, different ways to circulate Nature Qi in their body to gain more out of it. Having slackened off on his Archery since the days of being bullied by Instructor Storm, Shenzi feels like he's playing favouritism giving all the good stuff to the Dwarves. After thinking it over, Shenzi spends four days creating a minor version of Instructor Storm's Solar Rain. While training Catherine in private with Sword Dao, giving her different techniques to rotate the Sacred Flame throughout her entire body.

After settling everything Shenzi sets of from Reinhardt City to continue his journey to Abyssal Prison. Having spent three weeks on foot, Shenzi had finally arrived at Dew Drop Valley. Looking into his surroundings, lush trees, wildlife, herbs, and various ten to hundred-year-old alchemic plants lay about growing peacefully.
Picking up all the herbs in the surrounding area and placing them in his Spiritual World, Shenzi smiles knowing with his Spiritual World being 30x faster than outside. These precious herbs tens of years will be ready and worth a lot to alchemists.
Hearing two roars deeper into the Valley, Shenzi takes a wander curious about what's got two mutant beasts fighting. Arriving at the place, two massive Mutant Beasts are fighting over a 1,000-year-old Spirit Cleansing Plant.
Taking in one breath of the air around the plant, Shenzi's long-stagnant Nine Layer Purgatory Pagoda shows signs of advancing into the first layer. Coming across such a treasure especially now with hope in sight for his Spirit to gain a form of defence, that ass whooping from the Obrien Family Patriarch left quite the fear in Shenzi for not having any proper Soul and Spirit Defence.
Watching the two overlords fighting to overthrow one another, moreover to be the one to harvest the luck of finding this 1,000-year-old Spirit Cleansing Plant. Both beasts fight like hell despite having their bodies pierced, and bones crushed. Both Mutant Beasts have an abnormal vitality recovering every wound as if it was nothing to them.
Despite having such a frightening fleshly body himself and rapid regeneration for humans, Shenzi can be considered to be abnormal. However, to the Demons and Mutant Beasts who're well above humans, Shenzi loses out compared to these relatively weak Mutant Beasts. Mutant beasts and Demons have a vitality that's one whole stage above their current realm. So these six-star second stage Mutant Beasts are equivalent to a third stage six-star human expert. Moreover, these aren't those sick ones with a bloodline further increasing their potential.
After watching the two Mutant Beasts fight it out for two hours straight, Shenzi's hands that have long been itchy for the kill and to swoop in finally gets his chance. Both Mutant Beasts are puffing away and their vitality ultimately unable to keep up with their fight.
Even though these Mutant Beasts are worn out from fighting, the advantage they have other humans is not something so easily crossed. Unsheathing his companion sabre White Flame, Shenzi finally makes a move going full out. Cleaving down one-handedly with White Flame, Shenzi bursts out with his Wildfire form cleaving the Gorilla Mutant Beast in half from head to toe.
Absorbing the carcass into his Spiritual World, Shenzi moves onto the three-headed serpent, with each head being green, red, and blue representing the Wind, Fire, and Water element. White Flame acting like a conductor sparks with a deep red hue, unleashing his Thunder Sting instantly beheading one head.
Shrouding White Flame with his Blazing Ice Heart Sacred Flame, Shenzi grips White Flame with both hands. Injecting a third of his Sabre Intent into White Flame, Shenzi uses his World Scar slicing the now two-headed serpent in half. Absorbing its body into his Spiritual World Shenzi quickly absorbs the 1,000-year-old Spirit Cleansing Plant and leaves the area.
Finding himself an empty cave and killing all Mutant Beasts in the surrounding three-kilometres, Shenzi unsheaths Worldly Purification and Black Heart. Radiating his Sword World pressure into the surrounding, Shenzi takes out the 1,000-year-old Spirit Cleansing Plant and combines his Blazing Ice Heart, and Retribution Flame to begin the refining process.
