Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2269 - 2225: Compensation

After completing the seventh layer challenge, we are about to face the decision to enter the eighth layer.

In the previous seven layers, Sect Master Lin and the City Lord of Jin had already expended a tremendous amount of energy.

During the seventh layer, both of them faced danger to their lives several times, coming close to death.

Faced with the decision at the eighth layer, the two of them recoiled.

Deciding not to move forward.

It’s still the same phrase: opportunity is important, but life is more important.

They knew reaching the seventh layer was already their limit; entering the eighth layer would mean certain death.

So, at this moment, choosing to withdraw was also a wise decision.

They chose to back down, but Chen Yang and the goals of the black-clad man were for the ultimate opportunity on the ninth layer.

Which is the inheritance of Fire Sun True Monarch.

Thus, they both ascended to the eighth layer without hesitation.

Upon reaching the eighth layer, the challenge was extremely perverse.

They were directly confronted with a demon beast, which was late-stage Great Perfection Condensation, infinitely close to the Infant Transformation Realm.

The demon beast was fierce and brutal, almost finishing them off.

But ultimately, their combined efforts prevailed, and they defeated the beast.

After eliminating the demon beast, Chen Yang immediately took out Spirit Qi Liquid and Spirit Stone to replenish his strength.

He was very tired at this point.

But he still decided to proceed to the ninth layer.

Since he had already come this far, it would be a shame not to go to the ninth layer.

After all, that was the inheritance of Fire Sun True Monarch, which naturally made him quite tempted.

Moreover, there might be the legendary Heavenly Spirit Fire.

Such a great opportunity, he wouldn’t let it slip away for anything.

"Alright, you can enter the ninth layer now."

The shadow of Fire Sun True Monarch appeared once more, and with a wave of a large hand, the stone door in front opened again.

The black-clad man rested briefly and stepped through the stone door.

Chen Yang recuperated for a while, regained more strength, and then also moved forward, preparing to head to the ninth layer.

But just as he reached the entrance of the stone door, the shadow of Fire Sun True Monarch waved his hand again.

The stone door dropped shut, closing off the path to the ninth layer.

Chen Yang was stunned, turned back and asked the shadow of Fire Sun True Monarch: "Senior, what does this mean? Time hasn’t passed for consideration; why did the stone door close?"

The shadow of Fire Sun True Monarch smiled, turned around to look at Chen Yang.

The smile was very kind, but the pressure from his body remained.

Inspiring awe.

Additionally, his smile made Chen Yang feel astonished.

Because before, this shadow was like a robot, only performing fixed tasks.

At this moment, this trace of a smile made Chen Yang feel that he wasn’t just a simple fixed shadow.

He seemed... to have his own consciousness.

In other words, it’s as if Fire Sun True Monarch is truly standing in front of him.

"Indeed, time hasn’t gone by, and by the rules, I should let you go up, but I think letting you go up isn’t the best choice," Fire Sun True Monarch smiled and said.

Chen Yang was startled; indeed, the shadow before him wasn’t just a simple shadow.

He had his own thoughts.

What difference does this make from the real Fire Sun True Monarch?

The idea that such a great being is standing alive in front of him causes pressure mentally.

"Not the best choice? Please, senior, enlighten me," Chen Yang felt puzzled and quickly asked.

"I established the Skyflame Tower back then to find a perfect successor."

"According to my own thinking, regardless of how many people enter the ninth layer, ultimately only one will remain."

"But upon observing the first eight layers, I discovered that both you and that girl are exceptional talents hard to come by over a millennium."

"If I let you into the ninth layer to fight each other, it would go against my original intention."

"So, I’ve decided to keep you back."

Fire Sun True Monarch didn’t hesitate, directly stating his reasons.

Chen Yang understood what Fire Sun True Monarch meant.

And from his words, he also learned what the challenge of the ninth layer was.

The ninth layer challenge was for those who went up to engage each other.

The last person standing would be the one who passed the ninth layer test...

If he had gone up earlier, he would have had to compete life-and-death with the black-clad man.

Fire Sun True Monarch cherishes talent and couldn’t bear to see the two doing so, hence, he stopped Chen Yang.

"I understand now." Chen Yang nodded and then asked again: "However, there is still one thing I don’t understand."

"You want to ask me why I didn’t stop her but chose to stop you, right?" Fire Sun True Monarch had seen through Chen Yang’s thoughts and spoke directly.

Seeing Fire Sun True Monarch say this, Chen Yang didn’t shy away either, directly nodding, admitting it.

Indeed, this was what he wanted to ask.

"Hehe, the reason is simple, her strength is greater than yours, and if both go up truly, her chances of prevailing are much higher."

"Secondly, her talent in the fire element is very high, fully meeting my criteria for being a direct disciple."

"Although your cultivation talent isn’t weaker than hers, your path isn’t with me."

"If I lead you on my path, it probably wouldn’t be granting you an opportunity but delaying you."

"For these reasons, I stopped you and let her go up to receive my inheritance."

Fire Sun True Monarch gave his explanation.

After hearing this, Chen Yang fully understood.

This is how it is.

Because the black-clad man’s talent in fire element was higher, Fire Sun True Monarch chose her.

Not for any other reason.

"Don’t worry though, although I didn’t let you up to the ninth layer, besides the core inheritance, I will grant you another opportunity as compensation."

After stating his reasons, Fire Sun True Monarch added.

Stopping Chen Yang was, in a certain sense, unfair.

Although the black-clad man’s odds of winning were higher.

After all, her realm was there, but Chen Yang wasn’t completely without a chance of winning.

So offering compensation was quite normal.

"May I ask, senior, what opportunity this is?" Chen Yang’s heart was thrilled.

Although he felt a bit regretful not entering the ninth layer.

Having compensation was still good.

"Three Suns True Fire Body Refining."

Fire Sun True Monarch stated directly.

Three Suns True Fire Body Refining?

Chen Yang looked confused, as he didn’t know what that meant.

Fire Sun True Monarch seemed to have noticed Chen Yang’s confusion.

He took the initiative to explain.

It turns out, Fire Sun True Monarch had truly possessed a Heavenly Spirit Fire.

Which is Three Suns True Fire.

This Heavenly Spirit Fire is extreme yang and strength, possessing the miraculous effect of burning away all evil, strengthening the human body.

The opportunity Fire Sun True Monarch wanted to give Chen Yang was to refine his body in the Heavenly Spirit Fire, enhancing his realm while also strengthening his physique.

The Three Suns True Fire, being extremely yang and strong, if he can endure it and absorb its essence, it would be greatly beneficial for his physique.

"However, I need to remind you of one thing."

"This opportunity isn’t for everyone to enjoy."

"Three Suns True Fire is a sacred object with immense power, if you can endure it, you can gain significant opportunity."

"But if you can’t endure it, you will be burned to ashes."

"Whether you choose to accept this inheritance or not, you need to think carefully."

Fire Sun True Monarch cautioned.

Initially hearing the benefits of Three Suns True Fire, Chen Yang was quite excited.

It truly is a great opportunity.

But now, hearing this, he felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Accepting Heavenly Spirit Fire Body Refining, this isn’t child’s play.

One misstep, and one could be turned to ashes.

Then it wouldn’t be an opportunity, but a disaster.
