I picked up the scattered attributes

"Special Avenue effect 'Endless Universe' activated."

"Level One Great Dao Special Effect 'Above the Heavens' activated."

"The background music 'Great Compassion Mantra' begins to play on a loop."

"The background music 'Taiyi Golden Light Mantra' has started playing on a loop."

"Backup playlist ready."

"Virtual extras, take your positions."

Boom——

In fact, Xie Fan and Bu Shengyan were already shocked when they entered the gate of Qianqiu Valley.

One after another, magnificent and towering palaces and temples, the smallest of which are hundreds of feet high, are scattered throughout this mysterious forbidden land, some resplendent in gold and others sacred and majestic, as if forming a special formation that subtly corresponds to some inexplicable force of heaven and earth!

Deep within some temples, profound and mysterious Daoist sounds resound, and divine clouds and celestial mists fill the sky, as if the Great Dao itself were tangible, creating unparalleled sacred phenomena everywhere.

It's hard to imagine what kind of beings are qualified to live in those temples!

Even with their limited knowledge and experience, they had never seen such a magnificent sight.

Occasionally, in certain temples, there seem to be hazy figures moving about. They seem to be walking between the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, on the long river of time, both real and illusory, as if they do not belong to the same ancient history!

A hint of hesitation arose in Xie Fan's heart:

"Is this really a palace that mortals are qualified to live in?"

"Can we really obtain the Hun Tian Fruit?"

Even a divine fruit that can make one a god would appear so ordinary and inconspicuous in this terrifying forbidden land. But conversely, even taking just a single flower or leaf from this place would probably be a tremendous karmic debt!

Can they possibly bear such consequences?

At one moment, Xie Fan and Bu Shengyan sensed something and subconsciously looked in the direction they had come from.

"This is--"

At some point, the scene of the Yangkong Great Swamp outside disappeared. There was no longer the boiling Yang current, no longer the surrounding monsters, and no longer the omnipresent Sun Avenue.

As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast expanse of white, with clouds rising and falling, stretching endlessly.

A tranquil light shone down, not from the sun, yet it illuminated this ancient forbidden land.

At this moment, it felt as if I were outside the universe, standing on the sky!

"We...what are we..."

This scene was a tremendous shock to the soul, leaving the two of them stunned and frozen in place.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally managed to squeeze out a few words: "Where have we come from?"

As if a huge splash of water from an ancient, icy pool had been poured over their heads, the two suddenly felt a chill run through their bodies and were inexplicably filled with immense terror.

"Such a mysterious forbidden land, able to stand for countless years deep in the Yangkong Great Swamp, must surely harbor unspeakable terror no matter how peaceful it may appear on the surface!"

"We...we actually...broke in like this?"

It wasn't until this point that they belatedly realized just how reckless and ridiculous their actions had been!

While outside the mountain gate, he was so focused on obtaining the Hun Tian Fruit that he never considered the danger involved.

"Even if we could obtain the Hun Tian Fruit... no, forcibly taking it from this forbidden area would be suicidal. The only way is to try to persuade the owner of the Hun Tian Fruit, or pay a corresponding price to barter for it..."

There was an even more terrifying idea, which they kept deep in their hearts, not daring to touch upon it in the slightest.

—Now that we're here, how can we possibly leave?

"The Hun Tian Fruit Tree should be in that location!"

After a moment of distraction, the two finally mustered their strength. Seeing that no one was stopping them, they recalculated their location and headed straight for the Hun Tian Guo.

In any case, we still have to try to get the Hun Tian Fruit.

However, their running came to an abrupt halt not long afterward. Ahead of them were more than a dozen wide forks in the road, each leading in a different direction.

Only one of them can lead to the Heavenly Fruit Tree.

At the intersection of all the roads, a giant compass floated, its divine light forming a canopy that blocked their path.

On the surface of that compass, a few words quietly appeared:

The compass of fate.

"Please select...the direction to move forward?"

Xie Fan and Bu Shengyan stopped in their tracks, a hint of doubt in their eyes: "Does this mean we should let this compass decide which way we go?"

This is truly an operation that is completely incomprehensible!

No wonder it's an ancient forbidden area!

"Whether it is or not, we'll find out by trying!"

However, being in the thick of things, one has no choice but to bow one's head.

Xie Fan, as always, took the lead, carefully holding his double maces, and touched the light screen.

Swah——

The giant compass of destiny began to turn.

Both of them nervously swallowed.

The compass of fate stopped at...

In the exact opposite direction.

"what?"

Xie Fan's eyes widened in an instant. He wanted to say something, but a divine light descended from the sky and swept him up, just like when he was outside the mountain gate, taking him away to an unknown place.

"Why was this path we came from chosen too?!"

Watching Xie Fan fly away from afar, Bu Shengyan unconsciously clenched her fists.

Then, she took a deep breath, stretched out a slender hand, and pressed it against the light screen.

The compass of fate has begun to turn once again.

Then--

"Is this compass infused with divine metal?! How come I also drew the path I came from—"

……

Chapter 0843

"This approach should be feasible."

Feng Xia's divine sense enveloped the entire Thousand Autumn Valley, allowing him to see everything that had happened.

Without realizing it, a slight smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"To merely become a powerful sect in the Southern Star Region? That would be far too boring."

In fact.

With Fengxia's current strength, as long as he is willing to recruit more soldiers and spend some time managing the business, Qianqiu Valley will surely be able to rank among the top 100 in the alliance.

Even breaking into the top twenty is quite simple and easy.

Feng Xia was only hesitant to guarantee a spot among the top ten sects—after all, he had never truly faced off against a Divine Realm expert.

Feng Xia never makes hasty judgments about things he lacks practical experience with.

Perhaps there is a true god in the First Realm whose strength is even greater than that of the higher Myriad Manifestations Realm?

What if behind the Ten Great Sects there are other powerful figures whose cultivation levels are unknown, just like that mysterious youth from last time?

"At the very least, we need to take down a few true gods before we can reach a conclusion."

He muttered softly, his eyes flickering slightly: "And this alliance recruitment, although a bit rushed, is undoubtedly an excellent stage!"

"From this day forward, Thousand Autumns Valley will no longer be just the name of a sect; it will be an even more ancient forbidden land, originating from prehistory and heading towards the future. A thousand years will pass in the blink of an eye!"

He still named it Qianqiu Valley because over the past ten years, he had truly developed feelings for this sect.

However, this Thousand Autumns Valley is not the same as that Thousand Autumns Valley.

In the past, he inherited the business left by his predecessors, but this time, he will create something from scratch!

"These guys just happened to come and break into the mountain gate, so I'll use them to test out the setup I made. A whole night should be enough."

"After they finish the closed beta test... then kill them as a sacrifice to appease Li Sizhu's spirit in heaven."

Secret beta test, players sacrificed!

Even a dog-like planner would be impressed and say he's an expert.

On the second peak, Guangling Peak, the tomb of Li Sizhu, the hermit of Guangling, stands quietly, like a carefree hermit who is detached from worldly affairs, watching the creatures outside the peak struggle in the sea of ​​suffering of the mortal world.

At that moment, An Xian and the others also rushed in.

However, there were only two or three people with them.
