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

Those guarding the altar hesitated. If they sent it back to its original location, it might be killed again and could not be resurrected.

"Take me to the Holy Son!"

The golden-striped white tiger had a ferocious appearance, but it hesitated and finally gave out a coordinate.

It failed to fulfill the mission entrusted to it by the ancient saint. If the ancient saint were to find out that it had been defeated by a monk of little renown, wouldn't it lose face? It would surely be punished!

But it was unwilling to retreat in defeat and had to return to the secret realm to avenge itself!

By this time, Qi Shi'an had already gone deep into the valley.

A colossal palace, seemingly carved from white jade, came into view, adorned with thousands of auspicious rays and boundless radiance, with the roar of dragons echoing from within, captivating the soul.

He looked at the white jade palace and felt something mysterious. His Myriad Heavenly Eyes immediately activated, and he saw through all illusions.

There were no magic arrays or restrictions around this white jade palace; only a misty haze enveloped it, with rays of light shining through, illuminating the space and giving it an eerie tranquility.

"How strange, the ancient holy son is not here."

Qi Shi'an was suspicious for a moment, but he did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately took out the True God Magic Artifact and prepared to break in.

If anything strange were to happen, he would immediately summon the Starfall Immortal Mountain. With this trump card, he wouldn't need to worry too much about the danger to his life.

As soon as he stepped into the white jade palace, he noticed something unusual. Unlike the outside, the inside was shrouded in layers of restrictions that were interconnected, and the slightest carelessness would trigger a chain reaction.

"I hope there's something good inside, otherwise I'll smash it." Qi Shi'an pouted; he didn't want to waste his time.

If there really wasn't a divine treasure, he would have found a way to carry away the entire palace and use it to smash people.

Qi Shi'an charged recklessly, breaking through any restrictions he encountered with sheer force.

After seeing Qi Shi'an enter the white jade palace, some cultivators also cautiously groped their way inside.

However, what they saw was a scene of devastation. The restrictions within the entire palace had been broken by an extremely powerful force, and the ground was littered with stone pillars and fragments of precious bones.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Qi Shi'an glowed brightly as he activated the runes on his Vajra Pestle, constructing a magic array that continuously destroyed it.

In an instant, a rumbling Taoist chant emanated from the white jade palace, causing those who had just entered to feel a sense of unease.

Soon, Qi Shi'an stormed up to the third level.

The White Jade Palace has three floors, and the third floor where he was located was very spacious.

Here stands a statue, a two-headed, four-armed being covered in runes. Its two faces respectively portray ferocity and compassion, while its four hands hold four divine swords.

Qi Shi'an examined it carefully and exclaimed in surprise, "The Meng Shuang Clan?!"

The Mengshuang tribe is a special race, belonging to the non-human race. They are neither gods nor ghosts, have no scales or horns, and are hermaphroditic.

Legend has it that a man and a woman died embracing each other. After their deaths, a divine bird brought them incorruptible grass, which covered their bodies. Eventually, their bodies merged into one, and they were completely resurrected.

Their descendants inherited this characteristic, which led to the hermaphroditic Mongol tribe.

However, due to the unique nature of the Meng Shuang tribe, they were able to easily comprehend the power of the sun and the power of the moon, and even eventually achieve the unity of yin and yang, surpassing the ancient and modern.

Legend has it that the ancestors of the Mengshuang tribe were just one step away from achieving the union of yin and yang.

However, this also led to them being hunted down by most forces and used as research subjects.

Today, the traces of the Meng Shuang people can no longer be seen in the three thousand prefectures.

He had no idea that the first ruin he encountered in the Donghua Secret Realm would be related to this race.

"Could there be some scriptures about the union of Yin and Yang?"

Qi Shi'an tried his best to suppress his excitement, his eyes filled with longing to learn the supreme scriptures.

In the main hall on the third floor, there is only a statue of a Mongol deity facing east, and an incense burner below, with half a stick of incense still burning.

The half-burnt incense stick emitted smoke with flowing runes, making it quite extraordinary.

This is the only special object; the entire hall is very empty, with nothing else.

Qi Shi'an's eyes gleamed. This incense burner was an ancient treasure, and it was very likely to contain the cultivation methods of the Mongol and Tibetan peoples.

He activated his Myriad Heavenly Eyes and observed carefully. He was immediately pleasantly surprised to find that the incense burner was engraved with scriptures on both its inside and outside, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

This was most likely a legacy left by the Mengshuang tribe, which greatly excited him.

The half-stick of incense seemed to help people understand the scriptures on it, but it also revealed a hint of eeriness.

Because the incense stick was white and had green runes engraved on it, he had never seen such a special incense stick before.

Qi Shi'an carefully inspected the incense burner and found nothing amiss. He then quickly took it away.

He had already obtained a complete scripture, which was enough. There were still many opportunities in this secret realm, and he could not linger any longer.

At the same moment he took the incense burner.

Suddenly, the previously motionless statue cracked open, bursting forth with boundless divine light. The runes were densely packed, surging like a celestial river, and the entire white jade palace rumbled.

"Not good!" Qi Shi'an exclaimed in alarm. He sensed that a faint will was reviving from the statue.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately stepped onto the golden path and left at lightning speed.

Chi!

He was incredibly fast, moving like a ray of light as he sped along.

"That person actually came out!"

"Sigh, the biggest opportunity has been taken away. We have no chance. Let's go."

Everyone saw a flash of golden light and knew that the powerful figure named Mo Yao had obtained the opportunity here.

Otherwise, why would they have left in such a hurry?

"Boom!"

The entire white jade palace shook violently, and a powerful pressure descended, causing the heavens and earth to roar.

The group was so frightened by the sudden turn of events that they turned pale and fled for their lives.

However, this power was far too strong. The dense symbols, like dozens of waterfalls cascading down, flowed rapidly through the void, sweeping over everyone.

"what……"

In an instant, screams echoed throughout the area. Those struck by the rune waterfall were frozen solid, turning into terrifying ice figures.

This runic waterfall contains the power of Yin, and anyone who touches it will be frozen by the power of Yin.

"hateful."

A beam of light enveloped a young cultivator in purple robes, transforming him into a beast-tooth talisman that teleported him away.

He came from Tianyan Divine Mountain and was sent here by the Holy Son to infiltrate the temple's members, but now he was leaving in a sorry state, which made him resentful.

"Damn it, a statue that has existed for countless years can actually come back to life?!"

Qi Shi'an cursed inwardly. He could tell that this was a person with great supernatural powers awakening, whose realm was very high. He just didn't know why this person was sleeping here.

At this moment, he also realized why the ancient holy son was not here.

It seems he was reminded by the elders of the sect, which is why he left this place, leaving only a few people behind. They can obtain some treasures after the ruins are opened.

This place is no longer safe to stay; he must leave quickly.

Qi Shi'an fled at lightning speed, transforming into a true dragon, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the horizon.

However, something astonishing happened: the dozens of rune waterfalls were actually targeting him.

Qi Shi'an was startled. Without thinking too much, he immediately summoned the Starfall Mountain.

The rune waterfall crashed onto Starfall Mountain, creating ripples, but without harming it in the slightest. Then, Qi Shi'an activated Starfall Mountain, transforming it into a purple celestial light and disappearing into the distance.

The speed of Starfall Mountain was too fast; it disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only dozens of rune waterfalls spinning in place.

With Qi Shi'an's successful escape, the statue was fully resurrected and erupted in full force. All the mountains within a hundred miles cracked and collapsed. The group sped along, and only a few managed to escape the danger.

"Roar……"

The creatures of the Meng Shuang tribe roared, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth, like a thunderbolt, and the entire white jade palace exploded and shattered into rubble.

Then, the creatures of the Meng Shuang tribe stepped forward and instantly vanished into the void.

As the place returned to silence, the few who had successfully escaped were still feeling a lingering sense of unease.

"What the hell was that just now?" the young cultivator asked in a trembling voice.

"I don't know, maybe it's some creature that lives in a secret realm." A middle-aged cultivator's face turned pale.

They finally understood that the Donghua Secret Realm was fraught with danger, and countless perilous places were full of both opportunities and perils. A slight mistake could lead to utter destruction.

Not only do they have to guard against sneak attacks from others, but they also have to fight against ferocious beasts and creatures in the secret realm, and they have to endure tremendous pressure at any time.

"I've decided to find a place to hide and wait until the time is up before leaving immediately." The young cultivator was frightened; he was still young and didn't want to die so soon.

The others shared the same sentiment, previously believing that great fortune was within their grasp and that as long as they had the opportunity to enter, they would surely attain a great destiny.

Having experienced a life-or-death crisis, their thinking completely changed. Those so-called great opportunities were too far away from them. If they really tried to find and fight for them, there was a 98% chance they would perish.

……

The young cultivator in purple robes from Tianyan Divine Mountain recounted the entire situation inside the white jade palace in detail.

"What?! The creatures in the white jade palace have revived, and a great fortune has appeared?!"

At the exit of the secret realm, a group of people from the temple gritted their teeth and stared intently at the Western Cult members with fierce eyes.

That opportunity should have been theirs, but it has most likely fallen into the hands of Mo Yao of the Western Sect.

A great opportunity appeared, but it was snatched away by that cultivator named Mo Yao. How could this not make people envious?

Chapter 121 Great War Against the First Generation

"Miaoti, you didn't deliberately send one of the first generation into my sect's territory, did you?"

The leader from the temple spoke in a cold tone, his gaze fixed on the Western Cult members, his eyes revealing a profound meaning.

The leader of the Western Sect, despite being addressed by his full name, remained calm and composed, and said with a faint smile, "Fellow Daoist Jiyin is joking. As the leader of a sect, I would not stoop to such a despicable act."

Temple Master Jiyin glanced coldly at Buddha Miaoti and sneered, "Is that so? I didn't expect Buddha Miaoti to be such a 'rule-abiding' person. Admirable."

The other religious leaders, who were also sitting cross-legged in the void, all chose to remain silent after hearing the sarcastic remarks made by the Lord of Silent Heaven to the Buddha of Wonderful Beauty, but they still secretly communicated with each other.

"Why does Ji Yin always speak with a barbed tone, directly targeting Miao Ti, as if he is somewhat dissatisfied? Could there be some grudge between the two of them?"

"Who knows? I've lived this long and never heard of it before. Maybe it's a grudge that developed in recent years."

The crowd chose to remain silent and watch the drama unfold. As long as it didn't affect their interests, they let others fight however they wanted.

The Buddha Miaoti, unaware of others' thoughts, simply remained silent.

He sat cross-legged in mid-air, his fingers twirling prayer beads, his eyes tightly closed, motionless, like a fossil buried in the annals of time.

In fact, he also had doubts, as he had never even heard of a brilliant talent emerging from his own lineage.

Now, he is waiting for his subordinates to investigate, and he thinks to himself, "When I get back, I will definitely punish my subordinates severely."

The Lord of Silent Heaven snorted coldly, and seeing that the Buddha of Wonderful Beauty did not respond, he also remained silent.

Now, the Silent Lord can only place all his hopes on the Ancient Holy Son, whom he believes is invincible in the secret realm.

Within the secret realm, hundreds of thousands of miles away in the opposite direction from the White Jade Palace, lies a great mountain.

Qi Shi'an stopped and tried to calm himself down: "That scared me to death, but luckily I was quick-witted."

He was still shaken. The strength of the Meng Shuang race was terrifying. Their pressure alone surpassed that of the divine fire, and their cultivation might even have surpassed that of a true god.

If he hadn't possessed the Starfall Mountain, which allowed him to travel at high speed and even change course midway to fly in the opposite direction, he would probably have already fallen into the tiger's clutches.

Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. This secret realm was so vast that even if the creatures of the Meng Shuang race came after him, it would take them a very long time.

"boom!"

Suddenly, from an ancient cave not far away, a reptile with an ice-blue body, about seven feet long, flew out. It spewed out swathes of cold light from its mouth, freezing and shattering all the rocks and giant trees.

"A Jade Leech?!"

Qi Shi'an was somewhat surprised. This was a strange ancient insect with crystal-clear fur on its body. It possessed strong spirituality and extremely high medicinal value.

He was already searching for spirit insects, herbs, and minerals, and now that he had actually come across an extremely rare ancient insect, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Buzz!"

A deafening roar echoed from the ancient cave, followed by tens of thousands of icy jade leeches bursting forth, spewing out icy light that froze everything in their path.
