As Linthia stated, she managed to obtain a lot of information from the guard she was with.
Based on what the guard said, talented people from across the Empire took on dangerous missions in the Void Hub in order to attract the scouts sent by the Orion Eight. Once they were chosen, the scout would give them a referral that they could use to enter any stronghold under the Orion Eight.
It was not only a blessing to be chosen but also a massive opportunity.
Entering one of the strongholds guarantees the person a better environment to grow their strength.
Any of the strongholds was made around a Gate-class Obelisk of Life.
Normally, it would take a hundred years for a spirit with a normal Spiritual Vein and hailed from a land with a Needle-class Obelisk of Life to go from a High Spirit rank to the Ascendant Spirit rank. However, within the fortress' bubble, the time to reach that rank would be reduced to a measly five years.
