What do you mean by my awakened profession being Monster Hunter?

The walls are made of huge stones, magnificent and tall, and the broken tiles shimmer with a pale golden luster. The building is like a temple, bathed in the sun and imbued with a sacred glow.

"What you're looking for might be right here."

Chief Qi said in a low voice. He didn't know what Qi Shi'an was looking for, but the only place in the Qi clan that could be considered a treasure was this dilapidated temple that buried the past.

"Where is this place? I've never seen it before."

Qi Shi'an was suspicious. This place looked dilapidated, yet it exuded a sacred aura, making it quite extraordinary.

"It's normal that you don't know. Only some elders who have lived for a long time know about this place, as well as the patriarchs of the Qi clan from generation to generation."

"This dilapidated temple records the past glory of the Qi clan, but no one knows just how glorious it was."

Chief Qi then recounted past events that had not been recorded in the library.

The Qi people were an extremely ancient ethnic group, but after experiencing several crises of extinction over countless years, many of their traditions have been lost.

The most recent crisis was tens of thousands of years ago.

That battle was devastating; blood rained down from the sky, corpses littered the earth, and all living beings wailed and prayed for divine mercy.

The Qi clan was nearly wiped out. If the clan leader at the time had not chosen to become a subordinate family of the Kun clan, the Qi clan would probably have been lost to the long river of time.

Qi Shi'an murmured, "So that's how it is."

He never imagined that the Qi clan had nearly been wiped out tens of thousands of years ago.

However, he also deduced from some minor details that the great battle should have been a calamity launched by the upper realm's Dao lineage.

Moreover, the target is very clear: the descendants of sinners!

Qi Shi'an entered the dilapidated temple. The broken pieces of bronze all had a faint luster flowing within them, but it was so faint that most people might not be able to perceive it.

“This is too shabby.”

Qi Shi'an frowned. If this temple were intact, it would be very large. The bookshelves that had been reduced to fragments once held many bone books, but now they were covered in dust, which was quite sad.

He walked around the ruined temple but found nothing of any use; all he could see were fragments.

He found a piece of gray bone among the fragments in a corner. He hurriedly picked it up and saw that it was covered with dense symbols, like celestial script, so small that he had to open his eyes wide to look at it carefully.

Qi Shi'an concentrated intently and studied it for half an hour, only to find that it was just a bone recording ancient anecdotes, and had little to do with the history he wanted to learn about.

"I wonder if we can find it in this dilapidated place."

He sighed and picked up another fragment. The symbols on it were few and almost all worn away, but it still looked very ancient. He studied it carefully and found that...

Only one sentence is clearly visible on it: We were once glorious... Our ancestors achieved unparalleled feats, and even now they continue to write their glory with blood and bones... To the glorious heavens, will there be any successors?!

Qi Shi'an could feel the despair in this sentence. The battle of the Immortal Ancient Era had ultimately buried too many heroic souls, and even the Immortal King could not escape the fate.

"Huh, what's that?" Qi Shi'an asked suspiciously when he saw a tombstone suddenly appear in the distance. "Whose tombstone is that?"

"Tombstone? Where would you find a tombstone here?"

Chief Qi looked puzzled. He looked at the spot Qi Shi'an was pointing to, and his pupils shrank instantly, and his hair stood on end.

He had been here before and had never seen a tombstone in the ruined temple. How could it suddenly appear today?

"Never appeared before?" Qi Shi'an asked in surprise.

"Never!" Chief Qi said solemnly.

Qi Shi'an's gaze was fixed on the suddenly appearing tombstone. There was nothing in this place that could block divine senses, and with his spiritual perception, he should have noticed it when he entered.

As he approached, he discovered an extremely faint light emanating from the rubble beneath the tombstone, and the tombstone itself was a projection of that light!

This gave Qi Shi'an a chilling feeling.

He carefully sifted through the rubble, and slowly, a palm-sized token came into view. It emitted a faint, eerie light, but when touched, it felt as warm and cool as mutton-fat jade.

This token exudes an air of antiquity and vicissitude. It is very old and has cracks, yet it still reveals a faint luster, untouched by dust. The symbols are clearly visible, making it quite extraordinary.

"Qi Zu's prison magistrate?!"

Qi Shi'an was surprised. He hadn't expected that this token was actually a sealing treasure. It must be an extremely powerful magic weapon. Judging from its name, this token should have the ability to suppress the primordial spirit.

Just then, a treasure in Qi Shi'an's Qiankun bag trembled violently and then rushed out on its own, resonating with the token and intertwining with runes, looking quite mysterious.

Qi Shi'an was shocked. The reason was that the treasure that resonated with Qi Zu's Prison Suppression Order was none other than the legacy of Supreme Luo Xiu—Moro Peak!

He wondered why the Moro Summit resonated with the Qi Ancestor's Prison Suppression Order within the Qi Clan. Could it be that Supreme Luo Xiu's family and the Qi Clan were both subordinates of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands?

Could his ability to refine Moro Peak be related to his own bloodline? His doubts grew, and the strange changes that occurred when Moro Peak resonated with Qi Zu's Prison Suppression Token only deepened his confusion.

There, the runes of Moro Peak and Qi Zu's Prison Suppression Order intertwined and rearranged to form two ancient characters. Qi Shi'an, who possessed the inherited memories of Luo Xiu Supreme, was naturally able to recognize those two characters.

A falling star!

A surge of emotion welled up in Qi Shi'an's heart: "Starfall? Could it be that forbidden place in the mortal realm, Starfall Mountain?!"

He never expected that this forbidden land would be related to the Qi clan, and he developed a strong interest in the Qi clan's past.

He wanted to know what the Qi clan's relationship was with Supreme Luo Xiu; what their connection was with Starfall Mountain; and what the origins of Supreme Luo Xiu's relationship with Starfall Mountain were.

The answers to these mysteries all seemed to be guiding him to Starfall Mountain.

Qi Shi'an murmured, "It seems that the answer to all the mysteries lies in Starfall Mountain."

Chapter 113 The Six Desires Demon Palm

In the ancestral land of the Kun people, amidst a magnificent mansion, towering palaces and numerous precious pavilions stand side by side.

Inside a palace, a group of people sat cross-legged, their faces filled with dejection. The return of that little devil was undoubtedly the worst news for them.

Now, news keeps coming in that one force after another that had a grudge against the Little Demon King has been wiped out, and now only the Kun Clan is left.

The Kun Clan suffered heavy losses in the battle of the Void God Realm. If it weren't for the Little Demon King's grudge against them, other small and medium-sized forces might have already joined forces to attack.

Now, outside their Kun clan, there are several spirits openly monitoring them, and they know that those are the spirits of the Little Demon King.

No matter what they're about to do, the Little Demon King knows it immediately, leaving them helpless and forced to silently await their death.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, the void of the Kun clan cracked open, and the might of the dragon descended, covering the sky and sealing off the entire ancestral land of the Kun clan. Looking at the enormous black dragon in the sky, everyone felt a sense of oppression.

"This is... the True Dragon Treasure Technique?! The Demon Lord has descended upon the Kun Clan!"

Everyone was shocked. They sensed the intense killing intent emanating from the Demon Lord and understood that he was determined to annihilate his entire race.

"Is there still no way to avoid it?"

The Kun clan chief sighed and walked slowly out of the ancestral land, his back hunched.

At the same time, all the high-ranking members of the Kun clan gathered in front of their ancestral land, filled with grief and indignation. Did this killing star really intend to go to such extremes?

A striking figure appeared in the crowd. Kun Wan's eyes were filled with hatred as she stared intently at the boy in the sky.

The chieftain of the Kun tribe pleaded, "Demon Lord, could you please let the women and children of my tribe leave? They are innocent after all."

Qi Shi'an glanced around and saw some women holding children in the ancestral land of the Kun clan; anyone with a discerning eye would feel pity for them.

He said coldly, "I will not kill the mortals of the Kun tribe, but from this day forward, they shall remain mortals forever!"

He raised his finger and pointed, and endless demonic energy surged, transforming into black curse marks that entered the bodies of the women and children.

These curse marks were created by him after studying the demonic energy he collected from the Dark Ancient Temple. They are called Demon Seeds!

Although it was just a rudimentary creation and very crude, it could penetrate deep into the souls of mortals, planting a demonic seed that would keep them under its control for eternity, preventing them from ever cultivating again.

These demonic seeds will be passed down through generations along with his bloodline. As long as he lives, these demonic seals will only become stronger with his cultivation level.

Human life is only a hundred years long; before long, the Kun people will naturally perish.

Moreover, he also wanted to see if the supernatural power he created could continue to improve as his understanding of the Great Dao deepened, and completely transform the person who planted the demonic seed into a demonic corpse under his control.

That's his real purpose!

The Kun tribe chief lamented, "You should leave. It's better to be mortals; at least you can continue the tribe's lineage."

Although he did not know what the mark Qi Shi'an had implanted in the women and children was, he could deduce some of it from their words.

Once the demonic seal is implanted, the clan may never have another chance to produce a cultivator, but at least the lineage will continue. He only hopes that someone will be able to break the demonic seal in the future and restore the Kun clan's former glory.

The women, children, and infants of the Kun tribe were sent away under the watchful eyes of everyone, while those who tried to blend into the crowd and escape were all killed by Qi Shi'an with a single finger.

Almost at the same moment, after all the women, children and infants had been evacuated.

Qi Shi'an made a sudden move, his palm bursting with radiant light, and endless demonic energy surged like a tidal wave, as a sky-covering demonic hand descended from the heavens.

The Six Desires Demon Palm!

That demonic hand that blotted out the sky had countless large stars between its fingers, spinning and revolving around those enormous fingers, mysterious and terrifying.

Endless demonic energy transformed into countless witches who descended, emitting seductive and alluring melodies. The Kun tribe members felt their bodies begin to spiral out of control, and even their primordial spirits felt as if they were being gripped.

This is the supernatural power that Qi Shi'an created after mastering the Five Demon Seals: the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art!

What are the six desires? The six desires are the desire for sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mind.

In the Western religion, it is believed that severing the six desires can lead to purity of the six senses, while the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Palm created by Qi Shi'an is the demonic six desires!

If this method is applied to oneself, it can continuously help one control the six desires, ultimately leading to the perfection of one's Dao heart and the attainment of the state of inner sainthood and outer kingship.

When used against an enemy, it can interfere with the enemy's six desires. If the person's moral resolve is not firm, they will eventually sink into one of the six desires and be unable to extricate themselves.

The corresponding internal organs will be destroyed by demonic energy, leading to death step by step.

Many people gasped in shock, rising into the sky together, far from the ancestral land of the Kun people, only daring to gaze at it from afar.

This supernatural power was so terrifying that even the spectators were disturbed by the demonic sound emanating from the demonic palm and almost succumbed to it.

"What kind of supernatural power is this that can affect a person's state of mind?"

"Just now, it felt like a string was plucked in my body, and I saw a series of beautiful women. If I hadn't left, my Dao heart would probably have collapsed by now."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; their fear of the Demon Lord had reached its peak.

Meanwhile, within the ancestral land of the Kun clan, demons were rampaging wildly, and countless Kun clan cultivators were unable to withstand them, succumbing to their desires in just a few breaths.

"Beautiful lady, don't go, come to my side quickly."

"Haha... I have become the supreme one, and everyone will bow down to me!"

"This entire world belongs to me!"

"puff puff"

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent, and with a wave of his hand, the Heaven-Covering Demon Hand descended, crashing into the ancestral land of the Kun Clan. Countless people instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist, their bodies and souls annihilated.

In this battle, the ancestral land of the Kun clan was sunk, and all cultivators were wiped out, with no survivors.

"call……"

Qi Shi'an exhaled a breath of stale air and looked up at the sky. At this moment, he felt as if he had been freed from shackles, his mind was clear, and from now on he would only seek the Dao.

Qi Shi'an's figure flashed and disappeared into the void.

Those who witnessed the battle spread the news far and wide.

In an instant, the desolate region trembled once again. Countless people were dumbfounded, not shocked by the destruction of the Kun clan, but by the fact that the Demon Lord's divine power could affect the Dao heart of others.

"There's no longer a place for him to show off his skills in the lower realms. He'll probably be ascending to the heavens soon."

"Aren't the lower and upper realms completely separated? How can one ascend?"

"You think it's impossible, but for the Demon Lord, it might not be."

While the outside world was abuzz with discussion, Qi Shi'an, who had annihilated the Kun tribe, was in a quiet, dense forest, with two solitary graves in front of him.

This is the grave of Qi Shi'an's parents in this life. After he went to the Qi clan, he moved them here.

Surrounded by high mountains, ancient trees reaching for the sky, and cascading waterfalls, this place is a geomantically auspicious location.

Qi Shi'an poured wine in front of the grave and murmured, "Although you were my parents for only four years, you are still the ones who gave me life. Now that I have avenged you, I think I can rest in peace."

May you be born into a good family in your next life, far away from the troubles of the world.

Qi Shi'an stayed here for seven days. Before leaving, he buried the precious bones, used his supernatural powers to construct a magic array to cover the ten-mile area of ​​the dense forest, and then returned to the Butian Pavilion to say goodbye to everyone.

……

"Alas, this day was bound to come sooner or later, but unfortunately, we old men don't have the ability to ascend to heaven," the Pavilion Master said with self-deprecation.

Qi Shi'an said confidently, "You old men still have a long life ahead of you. Once I have established myself in the Upper Realm, I will open up the passage between the Upper and Lower Realms, and you can go up there at any time."

Ancestor Mu Yan patted Qi Shi'an on the shoulder and said boldly, "Boy, don't embarrass yourself when you go to the Upper Realm. With your abilities, you should be able to cause quite a stir."
