The people of Black Cauldron City well knew that this altar had a storied history, even predating the founding of the city itself.
Some even speculated that it was the presence of this very altar that motivated the selection of this site for constructing the city.
"This altar, passed down from ancient times, contains a trace of the will of the Ancient Pill Tao. By sitting above it, you three will be able to enter a secret realm and undergo a test. The first who passes will be deemed the strongest," Zhuge Cang directed at Fang Lin and his two companions.

Fang Lin, however, remained exceptionally calm, not showing the slightest surprise.
