I picked up the scattered attributes

Rumors circulated that the Eight Prodigies had suffered a brutal collision during the recruitment process, resulting in injuries so severe that other candidates benefited from the clash.

Rumors also circulated that, given the talents and abilities of the Eight Prodigies, they had probably already been selected by the Ten Great Sects, and their participation in the recruitment was merely a formality.

No news came; it was merely a protective measure employed by the powerful figures of the upper sect.

"You don't understand. The Eight Prodigies didn't actually choose the Ten Great Sects. The experts of the Great Sects felt they had lost face, so they deliberately kept the news under wraps."

Some people stumbled upon the truth by accident, but were quickly drowned out by the spittle of their companions.

"Come on, if the Eight Prodigies don't choose a top sect, where else can they go? Besides the Ten Great Top Sects, is there any other sect in the world worthy of them?"

No one noticed that on the day that the recruitment exam had been going on for a month, eight figures arrived quietly on the Nine Suns Star in an air shuttle.

"Yangkong Great Swamp? It seems to be a forbidden land with the Yang attribute. To be able to occupy such a piece of land, that guy's sect must have some strength."

"However, Jiuyang Star is not the center of the Southern Sky. Even though it is the most dangerous place here, its quality is still unknown."

"What's even funnier is that I just heard the natives here say that the name Nine Suns Star comes from the ten most dangerous places on the planet! There are clearly ten dangerous places, but they named it Nine Suns. Isn't that ridiculous?"

The Eight Prodigies have finally arrived at Nine Suns Star!

However, not many people know about this news.

"Speaking of which, should we even bother with those guys following behind us?"

Frost Spirit Little Yuanjun chuckled, her gaze sweeping across the void behind her, causing the expressions of the several supernatural beings hidden within to change slightly.

They thought they had hidden it well, but little did they know that they hadn't fooled anyone at all!

"Don't worry about it, just let them follow."

Young Master Ming shook his head with a smile: "These guys are annoying, but they are also a test. If Qianqiu Valley can't even handle these, what right do they have to teach us? They are destined to be taken over and controlled by us, and turned into an impregnable empire!"

"Then spare their lives."

As the eight chatted and laughed, they gradually moved away from the city.

Their cultivation level was only at the Dharma Aspect Realm, but their progress was extremely fast, even surpassing that of True Spirit Realm experts. A few days later, a magnificent swamp appeared in their field of vision.

"I see. If it's such a dangerous place, then Thousand Autumns Valley is somewhat... um?"

Feeling the omnipresent Sun Avenue and the fiery power that could scorch everything, the Demon Prince muttered a few sinister words.

But in the next instant, the expressions of the eight geniuses all changed.

"No! No! The Great Dao that permeates this Yangkong Marsh... seems to have an owner!"

Young Master Ming Yang reacted instantly, his face filled with shock as he exclaimed, "This kind of Great Dao is extremely high-level, almost a perfect innate Great Dao. To be able to refine the Great Dao to this level, one must be at the Emperor Realm!"

"Emperor Realm... Could it be the legendary Golden Emperor, the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan?"

The others carefully examined the Great Dao of the Sun in the world, and their expressions changed: "Back in our previous life, the Golden Emperor had already disappeared for many years. How could his Great Dao appear here?"

"If this vast swamp is related to the Golden Emperor..."

The group of people suddenly realized something: "Then the Thousand Autumns Valley, built deep in the Yangkong Great Swamp... that's it! It's said that the birthplace of the Golden Emperor is called Tang Valley! Thousand Autumns Valley, Tang Valley, there must be some connection between the two!"

……

Chapter 0871

The eight prodigies stood on the edge of the Yangkong Great Swamp, and the more they examined and discussed the matter, the more solemn their expressions became.

The Golden Emperor was an extremely ancient emperor.

The drop of imperial blood at Longmen Pass belonged to another emperor.

"I must have been the oldest one in my past life."

Young Master Ming Yang gripped his folding fan tightly, his gaze solemn. In a hoarse whisper, only eight people could hear him, he said, "However, in my time, the Golden Emperor was already an ancient emperor from mythology."

Even for them, the Golden Emperor was just a legend.

However, now, in the moment when they were completely unprepared, the myth has become reality, suddenly appearing before their eyes!

Gum!

The eight proud and arrogant individuals all swallowed hard.

They originally thought that Jiuyang Star was not the center of the Southern Star Region, but was located in a relatively remote border area. Even if there were dangerous and perilous places on the planet, they would never be beyond their ability to cope.

Which of them didn't have an amazing past life?

Some so-called dangerous and perilous places sound impressive, but in reality, they have traversed countless places!

"When we came here, some of the locals mentioned that this so-called Yangkong Great Swamp was formed by a sun star falling into the ground, creating a natural barrier!"

Even someone as trouble-loving as Frost Spirit Little Yuanjun couldn't help but lose her composure and turn extremely pale when faced with a great being who was a true emperor.

As if recalling something, her expression changed slightly, and she murmured, "Any sun star is much larger than the Nine Suns Star. If a collision were to occur, how could the Nine Suns Star possibly escape unscathed?"

But if that sun star is not the real sun, but rather a manifestation of some power of the Golden Emperor, falling onto the Nine Suns Star, remaining hidden and eventually forming a separate world, then everything makes sense.

The eight prodigies exchanged glances, and suddenly saw the answer to the question in each other's eyes.

"And then there's Feng Xia's tone of voice, his nonchalant attitude towards reincarnated beings, the fact that the Emperor's blood didn't shock him too much, plus the fact that Thousand Autumn Valley is located deep within this place..."

"Even if Qianqiu Valley wasn't established by the Golden Emperor himself, it must be closely related to him!"

"Otherwise, who would dare to defy the world and establish power within the domain of an emperor?"

The more they talked, the more horrified they became, but also more and more agitated.

The previously scattered clues merged into a magnificent and ancient scroll, slowly unfolding before their eyes.

"We originally did not belong to the same era, but after undergoing the trials of Youdu Prefecture, we were unexpectedly reincarnated into the same era."

"Qianqiu Valley has never entered the world for countless years, but in this life it has chosen to walk the mortal realm. There must be some connection between them!"

Among the eight prodigies, a woman named Qingxuan frowned: "But Feng Xia said before that their Valley Master's lifespan is over 54,000 years, which means he's only slightly older than me..."

"Qingxuan, do you think that the fifty thousand years that the Wind God mentioned must be the fifty thousand years we know?"

Young Master Ming shook his head solemnly and said calmly, "What if a century or a thousand years is considered a year for an incredibly ancient being like the Golden Emperor?"

Qingxuan's expression immediately changed, and he dared not say anything more.

After lingering outside the Yangkong Great Swamp for several days, the eight geniuses finally ended their discussion, their expressions solemn, no longer as relaxed and carefree as before.

An ancient forbidden land associated with emperors is something they should take seriously no matter what.

Even if they are not directly affiliated forces, establishing a friendly relationship with Qianqiu Valley would surely benefit them greatly, allowing them to surpass their previous achievements faster and sooner!

Feng Xia withdrew her gaze from the distance, her expression somewhat strange.

"Why did the eight young fellow cultivators arrive a full half month later than I expected?"

According to his calculations, the Eight Pride Ones should have crossed the Yangkong Great Swamp and arrived at the gate of Qianqiu Valley more than ten days ago.

The dangers of Yangkong Marsh should not be able to stop these eight people.

But it wasn't until this moment that he finally saw the figures of the eight people appear on the blurry horizon. They were walking step by step, their expressions solemn and devout, looking almost like they were on a pilgrimage!

"What kind of trouble are these people up to?" Feng Xia scratched his head.

Besides the eight prodigies who arrived late, he also spotted several disheveled figures in the distance. They were probably spies from various sects who had been tormented by the eight prodigies' sudden procrastination and almost lost their lives in the Yangkong Great Swamp.

The fact that the Eight Prodigies were able to avoid the crisis in the Great Swamp does not mean that these spies can do the same.

After all, people's physical conditions cannot be generalized.

"That's good, saves me the trouble of preparing another big surprise for them."

Not far away, an elderly man with a cane walked over; it was none other than the Array Master Taigongsi.

He hadn't been paying attention to the alliance's recruitment, so when he saw the eight prodigies, he was immediately shocked by their cultivation: "Eight Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators? They actually managed to cross the Yangkong Great Swamp to get here!"

"A cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm with supernatural powers?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xia couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

Taigong Si remained silent for a moment, then cupped his hands in a fist salute to Feng Xia: "I have yet to ask Valley Master Xia for guidance."

Feng Xia laughed and said, "You only see that their cultivation level is relatively low, but you don't see their age in this life. The oldest one is only just twenty years old."

"The oldest is only twenty? No, Valley Master, you said their age in this life?!"

In an instant, Taigong Si's eyes twitched violently a few times, and the wrinkles on his old face almost squeezed together.

What a pity!

He only intended to have more interaction with Feng Xia because he was going to stay in Qianqiu Valley in the future, but after asking just a few casual questions, he had a bad feeling.

As one of the few array masters in the Southern Heaven, Taigong Si had naturally come into contact with many secrets.

As he saw Feng Xia's smile deepen, his uneasy premonition quickly became a reality.

"All eight of them are reincarnated beings. In their previous lives, their cultivation surpassed the Myriad Manifestations Realm. It's not surprising that they had such means to cross the Yangkong Great Swamp."

"Reincarnated beings! And there are eight of them!"

Taigong almost fell to the ground when he blurted it out.

How can there be so many?!

He stammered for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out another sentence:

"What...what are they doing in Thousand Autumn Valley?"
