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

"It's you!"

Fairy Wanyue looked furious, as if she was about to devour Qi Shi'an alive. She could never forget the battle at the Divine Pool that day, where seven people working together were still no match for one person, which was a disgrace in her heart.

Qi Shi'an waved and said with a smile, "Hi, long time no see."

"Humph!"

Fairy Wanyue's face was cold and she snorted, turning her head away without saying another word.

This scene was witnessed by Ning Ruobai and Luo Changyuan, who were also on the ship. The two exchanged a glance and couldn't help but think of the rumors from a few days ago.

"Huh? That person isn't a disciple of my Heavenly Meteor Academy, so why was he able to board the ship, especially since it's a ship that only disciples with bone talismans can board?" someone asked.

The disciples around looked at the black-clad youth on another warship with great confusion, and whispered among themselves.

boom!

Just then, chaotic energy spread, and a powerful pressure swept across the entire Tianyun Academy.

A person with snow-white hair, shrouded in chaos, walked out with each step a vision of illusion and decay.

"Welcome, Dean!"

The disciples and elders of Tianyun Academy bowed in greeting, and Qi Shi'an immediately followed suit. He dared not be presumptuous in the face of such a peerless master.

"This is the last time in the Immortal Ancient Era. How many opportunities you can obtain depends on yourselves."

Bathed in holy light, the old dean treads on pure white mist, like an unparalleled sovereign descending upon the three thousand states. His eyes are like an ancient galaxy, deep and unfathomable!

His voice, falling into everyone's ears, felt incredibly gentle, as if possessing a special magic.

"Yes!"

The crowd bowed in response.

"Let's go!"

With a command from Bai Qitian, the warship traversed the void and headed towards the nearest teleportation array.

At the same time, countless forces across the Three Thousand Provinces were heading to places with teleportation arrays, heading towards that ancient land.

"when……"

On the second day after Tianyun Academy set off, bells and drums rang out in unison, shaking the three thousand provinces, signifying that everyone had begun their journey.

In an instant, the winds of change rose and the rivers flowed into the sea, and the grand battle for supremacy, belonging to the geniuses of the three thousand states, officially began!

Chapter 152 Immortal Path Flower Bud

A babbling brook, towering ancient trees, and vibrant flowers and grasses everywhere—this is a tranquil and beautiful world.

"call out!"

Suddenly, countless divine lights descended upon this land; they were all Venerables who had participated in the Immortal Ancient Battle.

Upon entering this mysterious land, Qi Shi'an looked around with great curiosity. Was this the vast, uninhabited area?

There are many legends about this secret land. Even a cult leader might perish if he enters. It is one of the most mysterious and dangerous places in the upper realm.

The former headmaster of the Creation Academy, who was once known as the Invincible Old Man, was a powerhouse comparable to the six great Celestial Races, yet he died deep in the no-man's land.

Perhaps, only during this special period can one enter, because that immortal flower bud has appeared and is about to bloom in this area, where "auspiciousness" will surround it.

The scent of earth, the freshness of flowers, grass and trees wafted towards him, and Qi Shi'an took a deep breath, feeling extremely refreshed.

Today, on this mysterious land, the first generation of various races are as numerous as hairs on a cow, and there are even more young supreme beings and ancient freaks, making it a veritable gathering of heroes.

Suddenly, Qi Shi'an sensed something was wrong, quickly looked up, and looked ahead.

A gentle wave appeared in the void, peaceful and sacred, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, with a warm current permeating their bodies, which could dispel all their fatigue.

In the distant horizon, streaks of celestial light appeared, as radiant as the morning glow and as bright as the silver moon. A shower of light fell, making the place incredibly sacred.

"That is... the Immortal Bud!" Li Yuncong exclaimed in surprise, his heart filled with excitement and his body trembling. This was his first time participating in the Immortal Ancient Realm.

To enter the Immortal Ancient Realm, one must wait for the Immortal Path Flower bud to appear. Only when it blooms can the portal be opened, the sealed path be undone, and one enter the Immortal Ancient Realm.

The buds of the Immortal Path have now appeared, but when will they bloom?

Countless venerable beings are eagerly anticipating this region, but according to what they know, a great opportunity is also on the horizon.

For most people, this is the only stroke of luck they have, because even if they get here, not everyone can enter the Immortal Ancient Realm.

However, this is a no-man's-land, vast and boundless, where countless rare and precious natural treasures, such as medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs, grow. Moreover, according to rumors, there is also an immortal substance here. If one could obtain even a single drop, it would be enough to make those ancient religious leaders personally come to greet them.

Normally, outsiders cannot enter, so it can be said that a miracle has occurred here.

In an instant, countless Venerable Ones scattered throughout the area, swiftly traversing the mountains and forests in search of their own opportunities.

"According to Bai Qitian, the Immortal Flower Bud will bloom within a few hours of entering, and at the latest within three days," Qi Shi'an muttered to himself as he walked forward unhurriedly.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a drumbeat resounded across the land, deep and vast, as if the world itself was resonating, and the light on the horizon shone even brighter.

At the same time, a grand voice rang out, which every Venerable One could hear clearly.

"This time, a total of fifty million Venerables from the three thousand states of the Upper Realm successfully passed the test and entered this no-man's land."

This is a group of sect leaders from the upper realm transmitting their voices. They are the most important figures. Although they dare not approach the immortal flower buds in front of them, they can still get a distance away.

At this point, they released some information, informing all the Venerables who had ventured into this no-man's-land.

Upon hearing this news, Qi Shi'an silently calculated in his mind that there were fifty million people selected through the Spirit Realm, plus those who could directly enter with bone talismans... In total, there were at least seventy million Venerables.

"Based on the experience of past dynasties, millions of Venerables will eventually enter the Immortal Ancient Realm each time. When the Immortal Buds bloom, you must seize the opportunity."

"You are now divided into three thousand regions, all of which are vast and boundless. Each province's cultivators are in one region, and there are boundary walls between different regions. I hope you will not break through the boundary walls to avoid causing major conflicts. You all need to enter the Immortal Ancient in an orderly manner within your respective regions."

Upon hearing this, the Venerable Ones, scattered far and wide across this boundless land, could no longer remain calm, for it meant they might be in danger.

Qi Shi'an had also heard that throughout history there had been extraordinary freaks who could break through the boundaries between regions, cross vast distances, and search for immortal substances.

"Although the Immortal Flower Bud has appeared and auspicious signs have enveloped this land, preventing the appearance of any particularly vicious creatures, we must still be careful."

Upon hearing this, Qi Shi'an couldn't help but think of Shi Hao. If we're talking about being vicious and ruthless, who can compare to him?

However, Qi Shi'an was still very careful as he moved forward. This no-man's-land was very special. No one could say for sure what was there. Perhaps stepping on a bug could cost the leader his life, and being hit by the poisonous mist spewed from a poisonous mushroom could turn a supreme expert into a puddle of pus.

These are all things that have happened before!

"The Immortal Flower Bud has bloomed 2,999 times since the beginning of this era, each time consuming a Great Dao. Now, there is only one last time left, which will also be the most perfect time, when it will bloom with 3,000 petals."

"Those petals are no ordinary things; they can reflect the secrets within the Immortal Ancient Realm."

This is one of the reasons why so many people from the Three Thousand Continents come here. They cannot go inside, but they can use the petals of the Three Thousand Great Daos to observe a part of the situation inside the Immortal Ancient City.

Of course, each petal requires a master-level activation, which consumes a great deal of magical power!

Because they cannot be close together, they need to be separated by an infinite distance of space. The difficulty of casting spells over a long distance is unimaginable.

In fact, at this time every year, the leaders of various religions would descend, and the strongmen of each state would join forces. Each state could only control one petal, thereby glimpsing the secrets of the Immortal Ancient.

The outer areas have been overcrowded these past two days.

One after another, carriages appeared out of nowhere, billowing with auspicious clouds. They were all the vehicles of important figures, some even accompanied by chaotic energy, which made even the gods fear and quickly flee.

“That is… the chariot of the Kingdom of Heaven. I never expected that the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven would come in person.”

A blood-red chariot, exuding a murderous aura, seemed to have been stained with the blood of millions of living beings, radiating endless malevolent energy, as if one could hear the cries and wails of countless creatures.

Everyone's expression changed drastically. This ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom was the most mysterious, and few people had seen him over the long years. Today, his chariot had actually appeared!

The ancient immortals have passed away, and this era is also coming to an end. Some forbidden figures may have sensed something, that this may be the last chance, so they have all emerged into the world.

A bronze celestial palace, pulled by a nine-headed dragon, rumbled in, releasing boundless chaotic energy.

The people from the Celestial Palace have arrived!

Legend has it that the ancient being of this lineage, who has been slumbering since the beginning of time, rests in this bronze immortal palace.

Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected him to come. Could it be that he had awakened?

Subsequently, various immortal sects such as the Patching Heaven Sect, the Intercepting Heaven Sect, and the Western Sect emerged.

The arrival of the current royal family caused a major earthquake.

People from Tianyun Prefecture, Zui Prefecture, Shou Prefecture, Xihai Prefecture, and other places gathered together.

"Hehe, I never expected the old dean to actually appear."

An elderly man, looking like a withered skeleton, spoke breathlessly, his voice somewhat hoarse. He came from an ancient sect in Tianyun Prefecture and was a contemporary of the old dean, but now he looked thousands of years older than the old dean.

The old dean's eyes shone brightly as he said calmly, "This is the most brilliant lifetime I could ever have missed."

Beside the old dean stood the three elders of the academy. Even Luo Shenghang had been brought along by the three elders to see off the disciples of Tianyun Academy and watch them enter the Immortal Ancient Realm to compete with the heroes of the world and seize their destiny.

"Our academy's double-pupiled disciple is unparalleled in the world. This time, he will surely be invincible in the Immortal Ancient Realm!" Some celestial beings from the Heavenly Meteor Academy discussed with unparalleled confidence.

As the third day approached, tens of millions of Venerables in the no-man's-land were already restless and some couldn't wait to make their move.

Boom!

On the horizon, colorful clouds burst forth, celestial light soared to the heavens, and a misty haze filled the air, creating a dazzling and boundless spectacle that made this world even more sacred and peaceful.

Boom!

Another deep, resounding boom, like the sound of a drum, yet capable of shaking the very soul. This was related to the Immortal Flower Bud; it was the Great Dao contained within it resonating.

In the hazy distance, the buds of the immortal flower appeared, faintly visible, their ethereal aura flowing throughout the entire landscape.

"So comfortable."

Many people couldn't help but sigh that no matter how tired they were or whether they had any injuries, all of that was swept away at this moment, as if their whole body had undergone a sacred baptism.

In this land, everything is shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making it even more hazy.

The flowers, grasses, and trees are fresh and vibrant, their tender leaves greener and glossy; the medicinal herbs glow and their fragrance is so rich it's almost overwhelming; the vitality within some creatures increases dramatically, and everything seems to be getting stronger, gaining a new kind of life force.

"Boom!"

When the immortal flower buds bloomed, they emitted a divine sound of the Great Dao, accompanied by a wisp of soft light, like sunlight shining on ice and snow, making people feel warm and cozy.

For more than half an hour, the divine sound of the Great Dao continued to come from time to time. It was the sound of one flower bud after another opening. The immortal flower buds had a total of three thousand petals, each of which represented some of the Great Daos of the heavens.

At the same time, patches of light rained down, crystal clear, and Qi Shi'an tried to touch them with his hands, but couldn't catch them.

Moreover, he felt a surge of immortal energy flowing through his body, warm and incredibly comfortable.

Outside, all the cult leaders were filled with envy, and some who were nearing the end of their lives were even trembling, wishing they could rush in and take the place of the deceased.

Whether or not the tens of millions of Venerables can ultimately enter the Immortal Ancient Realm, what they have gained now is worthwhile. This rain of light contains the aura of the Immortal Dao, which can at least increase the lifespan of each person by a hundred years.

"Alas!" With a soft sigh, the old man spoke with melancholy, "If one day those immortal substances no longer appear, what will become of us cult leaders? I fear we will have no choice but to eat each other, living beings eating living beings, using the lives of all living beings to help us continue to live."

These bloody words sent chills down many people's spines. If that day ever comes, this old man will be a hidden scourge.

"We've known each other for a long time. If that day comes and you really intend to do such a thing, I will personally send you to your death and not let you be cursed by the world!" The old dean's tone was calm, but it was full of threat.

"Hehe... All three thousand petals have bloomed, exhausting all their resources. This era has come to an end, and that day... is not far off!" The old man's smile was somewhat sinister, making people uneasy.

"Boom!"

On the horizon, the most dazzling light burst forth, thousands of auspicious rays appeared, and finally the last petal unfolded, and the Immortal Flower Bud was in full bloom!

"The Immortal Ancient Era has begun!"

Chapter 153 Revealing the True Form

The moment the Immortal Flower buds fully bloomed, their fragrance filled the sky, and three thousand golden paths unfolded, leading to three thousand regions. All the Venerables went crazy and rushed upwards together.

Unfortunately, many people were thrown off when they stepped close and failed to climb up.

Qi Shi'an revealed the aura of the Myriad Trees within his body, leaped up like a divine rainbow, and ascended the golden path.

In an instant, he was enveloped by the celestial mist and sucked into the portal on a petal.

"Who is that person? How could they be so lucky!"

At this moment, everyone's expression changed drastically, even those ancient freaks, because the first person to rush in must have great fortune.

boom!

Finally, millions of cultivators, enveloped in golden light, rushed toward the Immortal Flower Bud, successfully ascending and approaching the Immortal Ancient Realm.

"The Six-Crown King, the Heir of the Immortal Palace, the One with Double Pupils... I see them, among the first group to rush in!"

From afar, a monk shouted.
