Surrounding the Nine Dragon Phenomenon Ridge, a sea of people stretched as far as the eye could see.
Even the sky was filled with silhouettes. In fact, there were more people aloft than on the ground — and the higher one went, the denser the crowd became.
After all, everyone knew that looking down from above offered a clearer view of everything below. The high sky was the prime viewing position.
Yet there was one patch of prime airspace that no one approached.
Because that area was not for ordinary folk.
It was the VIP zone — reserved solely for the Star Domain Main World, the Ten Great Heavenly Clans, the Three Great Clans, and other figures of renown across the Ancestral Martial Star Domain.
Aside from this exclusive VIP zone, a number of special structures had been erected outside the Nine Dragon Phenomenon Ridge as well.
Standing before the ridge were ten pillars.
All ten were identical in size — each one ten thousand meters wide and three hundred thousand meters tall.
These pillars soared far above the clouds. If one were to look up from the ground, they would appear like stairways to heaven, stretching from earth straight into the deepest reaches of the sky, bridging heaven and earth.
At the top of each pillar was, in fact, an arena.
And carved upon each of these ten pillars was a single name.
From left to right, they read…
Linghu Hongfei
Linghu Yueyue
Linghu Tiemian
Tantai Xing'er
Linghu Mingye
Linghu Lun
Mengyan Wushuang
Tongtian Yuanming
Tang Zhenghao
Li Anzhi
…
These ten pillars, standing here, were naturally related to the selection of the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars.
The Nine Dragon Phenomenon Ridge was the critical battleground where the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars would be decided.
Yet in reality, only one hundred people would ultimately earn the chance to enter the Nine Dragon Phenomenon Ridge.
But the younger generation across the Ancestral Martial Star Domain was simply too vast. Every time the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars selection was held, at least several hundred thousand participants would take part — and in the most extreme case, that number had reached over ten million.
In recent years, more and more people had gained a sense of self-awareness. The spectacular scene of ten million participants no longer appeared, but each selection still drew several hundred thousand.
Narrowing several hundred thousand down to a mere one hundred who would enter the Nine Dragon Phenomenon Ridge was quite the time-consuming process.
In order not to waste everyone's time.
