The current Cirrus City was very crowded as various people appeared.
After all, the ancient ruin was 3,000 miles away from Cirrus City. Now that the ancient ruin
had not appeared yet, most elemental practitioners and physique builders, as well as
some unique professions, chose to stay in Cirrus City.
Although everyone was a practitioner, they could not practice all day long. They had to
relax occasionally, which led to overcrowding in certain entertainment establishments in
Cirrus City.
Philip was not idle in the past few days either. He stayed in the city to find some
information.
He knew very well that knowledge was power.
A few days passed in a flash, and the opening of the ancient ruin drew closer. When Philip
was in a tavern one day, he overheard someone talking.
"Hey, did you hear? The ancient Heavenly Court sent some people over, and they also
brought along a testing stone that can evaluate one's level and talent! It's said that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanyone who doesn't reach a certain level cannot enter the ancient ruin!"
Hearing this, Philip frowned and looked over. He saw a normal-looking middle-aged man
with trepidation in his eyes.
Several people of his age stood beside him.
One of them frowned and said, "Really? If that's the case, the majority of the people can't
make it."
"I don't know about that. According to the information I have, all the young talents who
have not reached eight stars will be disqualified!"
"What? Eight stars?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Anyone who can reach eight stars before the age of 50 is already considered a top
talent!"
"Only a freak can reach nine stars and above. If that's the case, the ancient ruin this time
will be a battlefield for talents and freaks!"
"Normal people won't stand a chance at all!"
"I'm not sure, but that's the information I have."
Those people continued to chat, and Philip nodded thoughtfully.
The territory where the Beelzebub royal family was located was barren and lacked practice
resources, so most people would find it difficult to reach the height of nine stars in this
lifetime!
In the territories ruled by other royal families, although nine-star experts were not
rampant, they were several times more compared to the Beelzebub territory. Therefore, all
nine-star powerhouses were well- respected in the jurisdiction of the Beelzebub royal
family.
Those at the late stage or peak of nine stars were an extremely mysterious existence!
Philip roughly guessed the purpose of the ancient Heavenly Court and the Beelzebub royal
family.
The two were considered allies now. Even if many things had happened before, their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmalliance could not be ruined so easily. It was very likely that the two parties wanted to use
this test to find Philip or get in touch with talents to recruit them.
Either way, it was not good for Philip.
If the ancient Heavenly Court and the Beelzebub royal family subdued those people first,
what should Philip do?
"Forget it, I can only take one step at a time. I'll just go there and take a look first," Philip
muttered.
Since things had happened, he could not avoid it. He could only take it one step at a time
and try to get rid of any obstacles.
Thinking of this, Philip shook his head, stood up, and walked out of the tavern.
On the street, he saw many practitioners heading in one direction. Obviously, the news of
the ancient Heavenly Court's action had spread throughout the city. These people were
going to take the test or watch the excitement.
Seeing this, Philip casually followed them to the test location.
In terms of concealing his presence, Philip was pretty proficient. He planned to watch the
testers and choose the minimum entry level to enter.
