After rushing into the grand hall hoping for an opportunity, the cultivators found it empty and immediately turned on Chen Yang and the man in black, accusing them of taking everything. When the man in black easily defeated an attacker, the others backed down. Suddenly, the hall's door sealed shut. As Chen Yang approached the throne, dozens of spiritual fire lanterns emerged, which the others excitedly tried and failed to seize, suffering severe burns.

Several people who had been burned by the Spiritual Fire stubbornly refused to believe in evil and insisted on trying to subdue the Spiritual Fire.

In the end, not only did they fail to subdue the Spiritual Fire, but they also suffered a backlash from it.

The fortunate ones were severely injured on the spot, while the unlucky ones were directly reduced to ashes by the Spiritual Fire...

"Hmph, this is just a rootless fire, and you still want to forcibly subdue it? It’s truly courting death." The black-clothed figure sneered as they watched someone burning to death, mocking their ignorance.

Listening to the black-clothed figure’s words, most people felt angry...

Because they had also attempted to subdue it just now.

But soon, they became puzzled.

"What is rootless fire?" someone directly asked.

Without keeping them guessing, the black-clothed figure answered directly, "Rootless fire is a flame created by someone and is not the true form of the Beast Spirit Fire."

"How do you intend to subdue such a flame? Isn’t it ignorance?"

The black-clothed figure continued.

After hearing the black-clothed figure’s explanation, silence fell over the scene, and everyone became speechless.

By this logic, they indeed appeared somewhat foolish.

"Since there is so much rootless fire, doesn’t it signify that the Fire Sun True Monarch once controlled so much Spiritual Fire?" Someone reacted suddenly after a moment of silence.

"Yes, that makes sense."

The others quickly agreed upon hearing this.

Thinking along those lines, this hall might very well conceal dozens of Spiritual Fires.

Realizing this, everyone began searching around, hoping to find the Spiritual Fire.

However, in the vast hall, there was nothing. No matter how they searched, they could not find a single useful clue.

Chen Yang remained unmoved throughout.

His attention was focused entirely on the black-clothed figure.

There’s the same saying.

The black-clothed figure was quite extraordinary.

She seemed to have extensive knowledge about the Huoyang True Monarch Palace.

Therefore, Chen Yang thought that there was no need to seek out the opportunities in the hall himself; merely observing the black-clothed figure’s actions could reveal abundant useful information.

There was no sense in aimlessly searching like headless flies.

Waste of time, energy, and effort.

The most important thing is that it might result in nothing at all, so why bother?

Chen Yang remained at a distance, his eyes constantly locked on the black-clothed figure.

After speaking those words, the black-clothed figure did not make any further moves.

They simply stood quietly under the steps, gaze deeply focused on the throne atop the stairs.

And there they stood, for several minutes.

By then, the people around had grown impatient from searching and began complaining.

Since they had been searching for quite a while with no results.

It seemed as if the hall was truly devoid of anything.

"What a broken place, pretending to be mystical. Is there really an opportunity here?"

"If there’s an opportunity, let it appear. Stop pretending to be mystical and eerie."

A group of people felt they had been deceived and shouted loudly within the hall.

Chen Yang listened and frowned slightly.

Feeling contempt for their behavior.

"Fire Sun True Monarch, at least, is a powerful elder. Even if there’s no opportunity, there’s no need to be so disrespectful." Chen Yang, unable to bear it any longer, spoke out to intervene.

Those people, already aggravated with nowhere to vent, aimed their grievances at Chen Yang upon hearing his words.

"Who are you? Who gives you the right to speak here? Sure, he was a powerful elder, but to deceive his juniors like this, how are we supposed to speak to him properly?"

"Don’t pretend to be a saint here; you’ve probably cursed dozens of times in your heart."

The crowd began criticizing Chen Yang vociferously.

Chen Yang frowned, feeling very displeased.

Yet he did not say anything further.

Engaging in a debate with these people had no meaning.

"Three feet above one’s head, there are deities, even more so here in the Huoyang True Monarch Palace. Best to curb your tongue, or misfortune might fall from the sky unexpectedly." After uttering these words, Chen Yang no longer intended to argue further with these fellows.

However, surprisingly, those people only grew more excitable.

"Good point on three feet above one’s head; everyone knows the Fire Sun True Monarch has been dead for many years. If he truly has a deity, he would come out and show himself."

"Exactly, if he really has a deity, he should come out and show us what he looks like."

"Haha, if he truly comes out, I will definitely point at his nose and scold him. Is it amusing to deceive us?" Old Li shouted loudly too.

They spoke haughtily, their attitudes filled with disdain.

Just after finishing these words.

An unexpected situation emerged that caught everyone off guard.

A buzzing sound echoed, and the entire palace began to tremble.

Immediately following, upon the throne seat in the hall, an old man of solemn appearance suddenly materialized.

The elder was dressed in a fiery red robe, his demeanor severe and imposing.

Although he appeared old and frail, he emanated a tremendous pressure.

In his presence, they seemed only able to kneel, unable even to raise their heads in reverence...

"Fire Sun True Monarch..."

The black-clothed figure was the first to spot the elder who abruptly appeared above the hall, and they spoke with extreme excitement.

Everyone else heard the voice and turned their gaze up towards the hall.

Upon seeing the individual at the top of the hall, they were all stunned.

Shivering in fright.

The ones who had been speaking arrogantly just moments before immediately went weak in the knees and fell to the ground...

"T-True Monarch, the True Monarch has manifested."

"Forgive us, True Monarch, this junior spoke without thinking, intending no disrespect."

"True Monarch, please don’t hold it against us; we know we were wrong."

The few who had been boasting excessively, Old Li among them, were terrified and trembling violently.

Prostrating themselves on the ground, they kept begging for mercy.

The scene appeared somewhat ridiculous.

A moment before, they were speaking arrogantly, yet the next moment, they were kneeling...

It was hard to know what to say about these fellows.

Chen Yang, however, didn’t have much time to focus on them. He glanced briefly before directing most of his attention to the elder atop the hall.

The aura of the elder was raging, incredibly powerful.

Sitting on the throne, utterly naturally...

It was definitely the Fire Sun True Monarch...

"Junior pays respect to the True Monarch."

The black-clothed figure hesitated for a long time before kneeling.

Seeing this, Chen Yang also knelt.

Although not out of fright from the Fire Sun True Monarch, but simply to pay respect to the powerful elder.

Moreover, he had a clear sense that the person above was not the true body of the Fire Sun True Monarch.

Most likely, it was a trace of the aura he had left behind, a phantom.

So many years had passed; how could he possibly still be alive?

With both Chen Yang and the black-clothed figure kneeling, the other city lords followed suit.

Their faces and hearts were full of shock.

Prostrate in worship before the Fire Sun True Monarch.

After everyone had knelt, the Fire Sun True Monarch atop the hall unexpectedly spoke.

"You people of later generations, to have entered my cave abode and arrived at this hall, signifies your considerable fortune."

"Therefore, I shall bestow opportunity upon you, hoping you can benefit the Mystic Realm with it..."

Once the Fire Sun True Monarch spoke, it pertained to inheritance.

Everyone present was breathing heavily at what they heard.

"Might I ask, True Monarch, how might one obtain the opportunity?"

No one dared speak at the scene, but the black-clothed figure at the front was bold enough to ask directly.

To everyone’s surprise, the phantom of the Fire Sun True Monarch possessed independent thought and answered the black-clothed figure’s question.

"All opportunities lie in this Skyflame Tower."

The Fire Sun True Monarch waved his large sleeve, and a nine-tiered tower flew out from it.
