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

However, Yuan Tong of the Yuan Clan in this life was born with a divine map on his back. He is said to have inherited the invincible divine power of his ancestors and will rise to power in the struggle for supremacy in the Three Thousand Provinces, obtain the ultimate great fortune, and restore the title of the imperial clan.

A grand gathering of geniuses is about to begin, with all rivers flowing into the sea, and the selection battle for geniuses is in full swing.

The young supreme beings of the three thousand states will all participate in that ancient immortal world for an epic showdown.

Therefore, with the opening of this secret realm, the Yuan Clan Ancestor invited geniuses from various sects to come and spar, in order to hone Yuan Tong's skills.

Among them are "first generation" invited from other states, or contemporary "young supreme beings", making it a miniature version of the Immortal Ancient World.

This was done not only to spur and hone Yuan Tong, but also to let him see how extraordinary the geniuses of the Three Thousand Provinces were before the real decisive battle, reminding him of the level he needed to reach if he wanted to compete for the championship.

These "first generation" and "young supreme beings" are mostly backed by immortal lineages, protected by the top forces in a state, and they generally would not accept such an invitation.

However, a secret realm in Yuanzhou is about to open, and the Yuan Clan has communicated with various forces to hold the most recent genius selection competition in that secret realm.

That secret realm is very special. Legend has it that it is a small world left behind by an ancient supreme being after his failed Nirvana. It contains all kinds of creations, including sacred medicines, supreme blood, and inheritances.

Unfortunately, this secret realm is too special. It only opens once every few thousand years, and the time is limited. It also excludes powerful figures such as sect leaders from exploring it.

Each time it opens, all the major powers in Yuanzhou flock to it and send their disciples in, because this secret realm belongs to the entire Yuanzhou.

This time, the Yuan Clan paid a considerable price to persuade the major powers to allow the genius selection battle to be held in this secret realm.

Clearly, all the top powers will gather there at that time.

Upon hearing this news, Qi Shi'an chuckled: "If Heaven bestows something and you don't seize it, you'll suffer the consequences. I've just arrived and I've already encountered such a great opportunity. Could I really be the protagonist?!"

Chapter 117 Grand Gathering

"This is truly big news! This can be considered a small-scale grand event. The Donghua Secret Realm is opening, and the ancient site where the Primordial Supreme was reborn will reappear in the world!"

"This time is different from the past. In addition to the scions of the top powers, some young supreme beings of legendary species will also make their appearance, which is destined to be a fierce battle."

Many people are discussing and eagerly anticipating this grand event, a once-in-a-millennium event in Yuanzhou, where the strongest successors of many great sects and ancient families will arrive, sparking the most brilliant synergy.

Everyone now knows that a magnificent event will be held in the Three Thousand Provinces, where all rivers converge into the sea, heroes vie for supremacy, and countless young powerhouses will emerge for a decisive battle.

This premature exchange is tantamount to igniting the flames of war ahead of time, making the atmosphere even more intense and drawing worldwide attention.

"As far as I know, in addition to Yuanzhou opening its secret realm, Wuxingzhou, Beastzhou, and other places will also have secret realms opening soon."

"Alas, it's a pity my cultivation level isn't high enough, otherwise I would definitely go and join in the fun to see just how powerful those so-called young supreme beings, first generation, and heavenly maidens really are."

"The Yuan clan has mobilized such a large force just to hone Yuan Tong's skills. It seems they really believe he has a high chance of winning the championship. I just don't know if he can actually do it."

Many people are familiar with Yuan Tong. He has already appeared before the world and is known as the most talented person. He defeated all the geniuses of the ten states as soon as he was born, causing a great sensation.

"There are far too many people claiming to be the most talented! Qin Hao from the Immortal Mountain in the Five Elements Continent, who possesses two immortal bones, is also claimed to be the most talented. Who is stronger between the two?"

"You could say that any young supreme being or the first generation claims to have the greatest talent, but who knows who's more likely to exaggerate their abilities?"

Qi Shi'an sat upright in the restaurant, sipping his wine and listening carefully to the various discussions around him. When he heard something interesting, he couldn't help but smile.

This final Immortal Ancient Small World, with the help of those with ulterior motives, pushed the genius selection battle to another peak, continuously expanding its influence.

Donghua Secret Realm is located in the eastern part of Yuanzhou, not far from the ancient city of Donghua.

Qi Shi'an set off, heading there, and along the way he learned some information about the Donghua Secret Realm.

In the ancient times, Donghua Tianzun appeared out of nowhere with his extraordinary talent. In just over three thousand years, he achieved the supreme realm and reached the pinnacle of humanity. Later, he suppressed an era with his self-created unique skills.

Legend has it that Donghua Tianzun's supreme technique was discovered after he entered a ruin and obtained a mysterious scripture, which allowed him to later comprehend the unparalleled divine power that suppressed the era.

Qi Shi'an was quite interested in the mysterious scriptures of Donghua Tianzun. They could help the Supreme Being comprehend unparalleled supernatural powers, so they might be some kind of immortal scripture. He was determined to obtain them.

"The Donghua Secret Realm is about to open. There is a map of the secret realm preserved in ancient ruins. Those who are interested should not miss it when they pass by."

"Detailed Explanation of the Ferocious Beasts in the Secret Realm: This is a rare book containing great secrets. To survive inside, you must understand which beasts are the most terrifying."

As soon as Qi Shi'an entered Donghua City, he heard various shouts and calls, selling topographical maps and bone books of the Donghua Secret Realm.

Qi Shi'an strolled around. The ancient city was bustling with activity. In the past few days, many cultivators had come, making it crowded with people from all walks of life and different races from various states.

It's not unusual to see Taotie, Pixiu, and Zhenhou on the streets; many ancient powerful clans have appeared, and in the sky, there are golden-winged roc spreading its wings and blue phoenixes soaring across the heavens.

This was a grand gathering, with invitations extended to some of the most enduring lineages from various states, and young prodigies from all races, inspiring awe and reverence.

Qi Shi'an kept a low profile. After entering the city, he changed his appearance and became an ordinary young man. This was because a powerful figure from the Western Sect had arrived in the area, and he had no choice but to change his appearance.

However, he still harbored the idea of ​​tarnishing the reputation of the Western Religion, and could only carry it out after entering the secret realm.

Suddenly, a golden-striped white tiger appeared, its fur glowing as if draped in starlight, each hair shimmering and radiating a brilliant luster.

"A golden-striped white tiger?!"

"No way, the legendary White Tiger is the master of killing and the most terrifying. Its descendants are all stronger than the last, and those with golden patterns on their backs are even called royalty."

Many people were shocked. The White Tiger was incredibly powerful, one of the most ferocious races in the world. Its ancestor dared to challenge the true dragon, and its fearsome reputation shook the world.

"Hey, who's that young man?"

People noticed that a person sat atop the golden-striped white tiger, with eyes like lightning, and his entire body was covered in runes, making him appear hazy, like a god descending from heaven.

"Rumor has it that the ancient holy son of the temple has a mount, a golden-striped white tiger, and he may very well be the ancient holy son!"

These words caused many to tremble with fear, for he was a powerful figure who had entered the Immortal Ancient Realm several times and was invincible each time.

In this era, the temple not only has a brilliant successor, Gu Meng, but also an ancient holy son who has entered the Immortal Ancient Realm. It can be said that their strength is so powerful that it is despair-inducing.

Apart from those few successors of the Daoist lineages from top-tier forces, no one can stop them!

"boom!"

A chariot appeared in the distant sky, its body as white as jade, pulled by three pure-blooded creatures resembling celestial horses, and slowly descended upon the ancient city of Donghua.

The chariot, dazzling and gleaming, with naturally formed patterns, pressed down on the ancient and weathered ground of Donghua Ancient City, like a prehistoric beast, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"The Realm of Supreme Heaven, the Dao of Supreme Heaven!"

"He's here too. This is going to be interesting. It's destined to be a fierce battle."

The people in the city were shocked. Juntian Realm was located deep in the ice cave of the Ice and Snow Forbidden Land. It was an ancient relic, and its lineage's Juntian Technique was said to be "able to weigh even the heavens," which was extremely terrifying.

Jun Dao is hailed as "the most powerful king in the Jun Tian Realm," and his strength is terrifying, no weaker than that of the ancient freak, the Ancient Saint.

The next day, the city was once again in an uproar as a young man arrived, exuding a mysterious aura that made him indistinct.

The appearance of that young man surprised Qi Shi'an, because this man had a pair of double pupils!

"The double-pupiled individuals from Tianyun Academy have arrived!" someone exclaimed.

Qi Shi'an sighed inwardly, "It really is true that you can meet someone anywhere in life."

Subsequently, the young master of the Blood Sea, Baye of the Black Prison Clan, Yan Di of the Heavenly Flame Divine Mountain, the divine son of the Sword Valley, and other very famous and powerful first-generation figures appeared and arrived at this ancient city.

Sword Valley?! Qi Shi'an looked over coldly and saw a young man dressed in gold carrying two divine swords on his back. He was one of the strongest young people in Sword Valley this generation, and a direct descendant.

Qi Shi'an sneered inwardly: "I'd better not run into you."

As evening fell, a figure appeared, enveloped in a hazy light, obscuring his features.

This man strode confidently and disappeared into the street in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

Qi Shi'an frowned, because he sensed a strong aura emanating from this person, and thought to himself, "This person will be a threat to my seizing of the Eastern Heavenly Venerable's inheritance!"

Next, some first-generation and young supreme beings emerged, all outstanding representatives who were renowned throughout the state and looked down on their peers, causing a great uproar.

People were shocked; so many young talents had suddenly arrived, this event was bound to be a spectacular clash.

"My God, geniuses have gathered here, who can rival them?"

"Once the Donghua Secret Realm opens, there will inevitably be thrilling scenes like the first generation's struggle for supremacy, all for divine medicine, the true blood of the Primordial Supreme, and forbidden inheritances."

Everyone was filled with anticipation, their blood boiling with excitement.

The next day, the Yuan people finally appeared.

Undoubtedly, when the Yuan Clan Ancestor and Yuan Tong passed by, everyone was watching closely. Many people were shouting loudly, and all eyes were on them, simply because they were the conveners of this grand event.

The crowd surged forward, eager to see what the boy with invincible supernatural powers looked like and what made him so extraordinary.

Yuan Tong was a handsome and refined young man, dressed in a shimmering robe, with eyes that seemed to hold the vastness of the galaxy. He was like a young emperor reincarnated, with extraordinary bearing.

"This is Yuan Tong, a prodigy born with a divine map on his back, destined to rise in this era. He will become one of the most powerful prodigies of this time."

Yuan Tong stood on the carriage and drove through the street, sparking heated discussions among the people. Some girls even screamed in fascination and crowded forward, wanting to get a closer look.

"What a young supreme being! He is composed and has a heroic bearing, showing the aura of the Yuan clan's ancestors."

Many people marvel at how this person, possessing both divine diagrams and imperial divine techniques, had already defeated the geniuses of the ten states several years ago, proving his destined rise to power.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing just how powerful the divine diagram and divine magic would be if they were to unleash their power simultaneously."

"We'll find out soon enough that an earth-shattering battle will surely erupt in the struggle for supremacy in the Donghua Secret Realm."

The radiant carriage disappeared into the distance, but the people continued to discuss it.

In the restaurant, Qi Shi'an watched silently as he sat alone in a corner, unnoticed, drinking by himself.

He looked at one holy son, first generation, and goddess after another, all shrouded in a halo, his expression calm and his gaze serene, without the emotional excitement of an ordinary person.

In his view, only a handful of these people posed a threat to him; the rest were like small fry who could be easily swept away with a single palm strike.

Seven days later, almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived. It was a gathering of geniuses and outstanding talents, all of whom were very impressive and came from different states.

Meanwhile, the opening time of the Donghua Secret Realm was fast approaching, and everything was being arranged in full swing. The grand event was just around the corner.

In the past few days, inns and restaurants have been incredibly crowded. Too many cultivators have come to Donghua Ancient City, and the entire ancient city is already overcrowded with people, with not enough places to stay.

Near the ancient city, some remote counties and towns were filled with people, all eager to witness this grand occasion and see the battle of the heroes.

In addition, many people are eager to enter the secret realm and try their luck.

Of course, obtaining the qualification to enter the Donghua Secret Realm is not so easy.

To make the event even more lively, the Yuan clan did not block the gates. Rumor has it that, in addition to the invited guests, other outsiders will also be allowed to enter.

However, the number of places is limited to only three thousand, and only young talents who pass the test and meet the requirements will have the opportunity to enter.

Because entering the Donghua Secret Realm means that one may obtain the true blood of the Primordial Supreme, divine medicine, inheritance, etc., so too many outsiders will not be allowed to flood in.

However, the news still caused an uproar. No one could believe that the various forces in Yuanzhou would agree to let so many people in; it was beyond their expectations.

"There are three thousand spots available; I have to get one no matter what."

Many people praised it, but quite a few scoffed and disagreed.

Qi Shi'an was completely disdainful. Whether the Yuan clan was benevolent and compassionate or had other schemes, he was not afraid. Within the Venerable Realm, he was invincible. Who dared to speak against him?

He's killed people at the Divine Fire Realm before, so why would he be afraid of these?

Chapter 118 First Entry into the Secret Realm

Soon, the selection test will begin, and many talented young people are eager and excited to compete for the spot.

Those who are the first generation and the young supreme beings of various clans do not need to go through this test. They are all outstanding talents in the province and are the protagonists who have been warmly invited by the Yuan Clan. They can enter directly at that time.

In addition, some major religions in Yuanzhou, including the Yuan clan itself, have a number of places.

Because they are the actual owners of the Donghua Secret Realm, they can allow their clan members to enter directly without any tests.

However, to outsiders, three thousand slots may seem like a lot, but they are still not enough to go around, because there are just too many people coming from all races.

Outside the city, on an open space, stood a high platform where several powerful figures looked down at the people below, uttering booming Daoist pronouncements.

"The first generation clashes, the battle of geniuses—who will truly be number one will begin to emerge in this struggle for supremacy. Those with ambition, come and fight!"

"However, for those who are over a hundred years old, there is no need for them to waste each other's time."

A powerful sect leader exuded immense authority, emanating a grand Daoist voice. His icy gaze swept over the crowd, pressing down like a towering mountain, making it hard for them to breathe.

The Donghua Secret Realm has special laws that only allow beings who have ignited divine fire to enter, but the number is limited. Obviously, major sects such as the Yuan Clan would never give these spots to outsiders.

The test began, and countless people eagerly rushed to the stage.

Each church divided the participants into one hundred groups, and the top three hundred people in each group will receive a spot.

Qi Shi'an stood silently in the crowd, calmly observing.

A large array glowed, radiating purple symbols, creating a hazy atmosphere. This was the first trial; only those who passed it were qualified to face the next test.

The first group of tens of thousands of people moved simultaneously, rushing into the great formation one after another.

As soon as these people stepped in, a thick fog enveloped them, and everyone scattered. The magic array was boundless and endless, and many people got lost in it on the spot.

In the end, fewer than a thousand people successfully broke through. Many were panting and exhausted to the point of collapse. This maze-like formation was extremely complex and difficult for everyone to navigate.

The remaining tens of thousands of people were trapped in the formation, and many of them were exhausted and had already fainted.
