Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently built from 'heavenly' (pertaining to heaven/divine) and 'peace' (tranquility), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer it means a sublime or perfect calm. The adjective+noun composition and the common cross-linguistic metaphor of 'heavenly/celestial' describing extreme goodness make this immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Heavenly peace comes from the picture of calm people imagine in heaven: quiet light, no worries, and gentle rest. Because heavenly suggests a perfect place and peace means calm, the phrase is used today to mean 'perfect calm'.
