Conlay nodded.
”Now, the imperial city is almost completely controlled by the people of the Great Preceptor. They hold no grudges
against us, and we’ve even done them a small favor.”
Hearing that, Philip merely nodded. However, he did not believe that the fire phoenix general’s faction would let
him and Conlay go.
Amid the cheering crowd, Philip heard them shouting, “Phoenix Tribulation, Phoenix Tribulation!”
A hint of reminiscence crossed Conlay’s eyes.
He said to Philip, “I forgot all about the Phoenix Tribulation…”
Seeing Philip’s bewilderment, Conlay explained to Philip what the Phoenix Tribulation meant.
It was a special rite circulated in the fire phoenix royal family a long time ago. Every member of the fire phoenix

evolve into members of the fire phoenix royal family.
The phoenix totem would appear on their bodies only during this time.
“After the Phoenix Tribulation, there’ll be a grand gathering in the family, the Rebirth Ceremony. Back then, I was
the most outstanding talent of the fire phoenix royal family and even won first place in the Rebirth Ceremony.”
As if remembering the glory before, a smile bloomed on Conlay’s face, but it quickly disappeared.
He recalled his past. After the Rebirth Ceremony, he, the ninth prince whom everyone thought of as a hero in the
fire phoenix royal family was banished.
Philip patted him on the shoulder and said, “Is it true that only people from the fire phoenix royal family can
participate in this Rebirth Ceremony?”
Hearing that, Conlay raised his eyebrow and asked, “Are you saying that we should attend the Rebirth Ceremony?”
Philip narrowed his eyes and looked at the Great Preceptor who was still basking in everyone’s admiration.
“Since no one from the fire phoenix general faction has come to mess with us, why don’t we use this opportunity to
reach an agreement with the Great Preceptor? This can also help you return to the fire phoenix royal family.”
Philip had his plans. The fire phoenix general faction was sure to pursue him forever.
They might as well use this opportunity to allow the oasis and the floating city to officially join the fire phoenix royal
family. Although this would inevitably lead to conflicts with the fire phoenix general’s faction, it was still better than
making an enemy of the entire nation.
Although Conlay was straightforward, he also understood Philip’s meaning.
“Okay, since that’s the case, let’s attend the Rebirth Ceremony. But since you’re not a member of the royal family,
you have to go to the Fiery Canyon. Only those who come out of there alive can participate in the Rebirth
Ceremony.”

Although Philip did not know this place, seeing the expression on Conlay’s face, he knew this place was not that
simple.
Philip asked, “Can I participate in the Rebirth Ceremony just by going through that place once?”
If this was the only requirement, anyone could participate in the Rebirth Ceremony as long as they went through
the Fiery Canyon. If a powerful mighty being simply needed to go through the Fiery Canyon and then attend the
Rebirth Ceremony, this event was as good as naught.
Conlay said softly, “That’s not exactly the case because outsiders can’t participate in the battle of the royal family
during the Rebirth Ceremony at all.”
Philip said, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s sign up now.”
Although Philip was not a member of the fire phoenix royal family, Conlay was indeed the ninth prince of the fire
phoenix royal family.
