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

Some cult leaders' eyes gleamed as they watched closely.

Besides these, there were also many terrifying creatures with deep gazes, staring intently at the Immortal Flower Bud near the no-man's-land.

"Woooo..."

The bugle sounded, long and deep, resonating through heaven and earth, as if it had been blown since ancient times and continued to this day.

This is the horn of the upper realm, said to be forged from a dragon's horn. It is held by several ancient sects in rotation. Once sounded, it can resound throughout three thousand states, and it is only sounded for major events.

Clearly, today is a day that will go down in history. The Immortal Flower Bud is blooming for the last time, and this era has finally come to an end!

"This life is the most brilliant life ever. Who will reign supreme and become the most dazzling star?"

Above the ancient sky, three thousand petals unfolded, radiating an incomparably dazzling immortal radiance, so magnificent that it captivated the heart and soul. His eyes flashed with sharp light as he stared at that spot, lost in thought.

This is the evolution of the Great Dao. Each petal carries a Great Dao, blooming continuously from ancient times to the present. There have been 2,999 petals that have been seen by people.

Now, the third thousandth petal has bloomed for the first time, and it is very beautiful with a hazy color.

Not to mention the powerhouses of the Divine Fire Realm and the True One Realm, even a group of giants from the Upper Realm who had lived for millions of years were squinting and staring at that spot.

If one can truly understand this, one may achieve a unique new life.

This flower was enormous, and at this moment it materialized, enveloping millions of cultivators, allowing them to stand within its petals and walk towards their respective immortal sects.

Everyone looked solemn and carefully contemplated the truth, for this was the easiest place to gain enlightenment, and any insights gained would benefit them for a lifetime.

The raindrops fall, each one translucent; this is the dew of the Tao!

Qi Shi'an steadied his mind and forcibly suppressed his cultivation. If he were to have an epiphany and ignite the divine fire before entering the Immortal Ancient Realm, he would surely be expelled from the Immortal Sect.

Nearby, someone couldn't bear it any longer. Due to a sudden enlightenment, they unknowingly ignited a divine fire that burned from their head all the way down to their heels.

"boom!"

The next moment, hundreds of thousands of cultivators were swept away from the avenue paved with holy light, leaving this place and falling to the ground below.

"No! I'm not reconciled!"

These people howled loudly, filled with immense frustration, resentment, and regret. They were all close to the Immortal Gate and about to enter the Ancient Immortal Realm, but were expelled because of their breakthrough.

This served as a wake-up call for many, prompting them to proceed with caution.

Some people are more fortunate; just as they are about to ignite the divine fire, they disregard everything and rush straight into the immortal gate to continue their comprehension.

"Fellow Daoists, please work together to activate it, so that the three thousand petals can reflect the scene inside."

The Lord of Heaven looked solemn. Activating the three thousand petals required a great deal of magical power, which was difficult for one person to do alone. Therefore, he would not activate them every day, but he had to check on the situation on the first day to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

After all, this is the last time "Immortal Ancient" will be opened, and no one can say for sure whether there will be any problems.

boom!

In the distant sky, a group of cult leaders unleashed their magic, instantly igniting the heavens and earth. Brilliant divine light shone everywhere, surging into the forbidden zone like a vast ocean.

The three thousand petals swayed instantly, drawing divine power, first radiating brilliant light, and then reflecting light like a mirror, displaying various scenes.

Within the Immortal Ancient Land, the initial land.

These are stone steps, each shrouded in a wisp of chaotic energy, stretching forward and upward as if climbing a steep slope.

Just as there are three thousand flower petals, there are also three thousand stone steps.

At this moment, there are many people on every road, struggling to move forward.

Millions of venerable ones walked on these stone steps, each silent, seemingly wanting to be the first to rush up that high slope.

“Nothing unusual, everything is as it has always been,” one of the leaders said.

This path has remained unchanged since ancient times.

Subsequently, the combined efforts of many cult leaders once again activated the scene at the end of the bluestone steps.

It was a vibrant, dreamlike world, but it was too blurry for them to explore without a Venerable One entering.

"Once someone steps into the Colorful Ancient World, they can immediately write their name on a petal and then see them and the surrounding scenery."

The many leaders of the upper realm were not in a hurry because they were experienced. Even in the first ten days, not everyone could get through, as the bluestone steps were extremely difficult to walk.

However, this path will not make things difficult for the Venerables; in the end, everyone will be allowed to pass, although there will be a sequence and many rules to follow.

Inside the ancient city, on the blue stone steps.

The area is shrouded in mist, with a strong sense of the avenue, but also immense pressure, making the journey increasingly difficult.

"Now that I've successfully entered, I no longer need to hide it."

Qi Shi'an vigorously rubbed his face and stretched his body, making crackling sounds like popping beans, and his body felt instantly refreshed.

His appearance had changed. His pupils were still bright and red like drops of blood, but his features had become much more handsome. He possessed a refined and otherworldly, almost saintly, quality, making him truly extraordinary.

Qi Shi'an's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he smiled calmly: "The three thousand bluestone paths carry the three thousand great paths. My opportunity to ignite the divine fire lies here!"

The two most important thresholds for the Dharma in this world are the Divine Fire Realm and the Void Dao Realm. These two realms directly determine the lower limit of the Dharma in this world.

For cultivators, the Divine Fire Realm is the foundation for building a divine path, with a profound influence that surpasses all other realms, concerning future achievements and how far one can go.

Qi Shi'an will use his body as a furnace and the Myriad Dao Tree as his foundation to forge the Three Thousand Great Daos into the Divine Fire of the Great Dao and ascend to the realm of the Divine Dao!

He wants to forge his own path in a different world!

"boom!"

Without hesitation, Qi Shi'an punched through the boundary between the different paths, embarking on another path and comprehending the profound truth it contained.

And so, he broke through the boundary barrier time and time again, traversing the three thousand blue stone steps to comprehend the Great Dao.

On the ninth day, the many sect leaders once again activated their magic, making the flower petals like mirrors, reflecting the situation of the Immortal Ancient.

At this moment, people witnessed a great battle. At the end of several blue stone steps, divine light surged, and a fierce battle erupted, with endless killing.

It's the six-time champions waging war!

In addition, people also saw the Immortal Palace successor, the Ten-Crown King, the Ancient Saint Son and other peerless geniuses fighting each other, having already reached the end.

"Does anyone know the name of Shi Yi's close friend?"

The old dean's sudden question caused the group of powerful figures from the academy beside him to exchange glances, and in the end, they all shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

"I know!"

Just then, a young yet passionate voice came from beside the Third Elder. It was Luo Shenghang!

"Oh? You know?" the old dean said with a gentle smile.

"I overheard Senior Brother Li Yuncong and Senior Brother Shi Yi talking, and they seemed to be referring to that person as a demon... Demon Lord!" Luo Shenghang shouted.

These words stunned everyone around, who all looked astonished.

The experts at Tianyun Academy all wondered if they had misheard. What had they just heard? The Demon Lord?! Could it be the young Demon Lord from the lower realm they were thinking of?

"He came from the lower realm..." An old celestial being hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly remembered that those with double pupils also came from the lower realm!

Those with double pupils have no friends in the upper realm. So, who else could be their best friend besides someone from the lower realm?

"Hehe, whether it is or not, you'll know at a glance."

The old dean gazed at the desolate area, channeling his magical power to carve words in the void with his hand. The crystalline petals instantly became dazzling, revealing the patterns of the Great Dao that illuminated the heavens.

At this moment, no matter where they are in the Three Thousand Provinces, everyone can see the scene reflected in the petals.

However, when the people of Huoyun Cave saw the two characters carved there, their expressions immediately darkened, and a murderous intent enveloped the place.

Demon Lord!

They were very familiar with this name; it had once destroyed a pure land within their religion.

"He's here! It really is him, the young demon lord!"

Many people were stunned. The petals were like mirrors, reflecting the true scene in the ancient immortal realm. They saw a young man in black, very calm and composed, with no one fighting against him.

He is unconventional. With his hands behind his back, he breaks through the boundary from one path to another, pauses to reflect, and then breaks through the boundary again.

While others moved forward, he moved sideways.

Meanwhile, another person was doing the same thing, and whether by fate or some other reason, these two people traveling sideways never met.

Although both of them had traveled to the avenue with the three thousandth petal, they still did not meet.

"Two descendants of sinful blood!"

Many people gritted their teeth, especially those from the Demon Dragon Sect and the Fire Cloud Cave. They hated these two the most because these two young men were ruthless and had killed too many of their people.

The people of Huoyun Cave, upon seeing that familiar face, wished they could storm into Xiangu and kill him.

"It has appeared again, leaving the gods of my sect to rot in the wilderness and ruining my grand plan!" A sinister and cold voice came from the blood-dripping chariot of Heaven, filled with boundless resentment.

In the past, when the gods descended to the mortal realm, their immortal lineage paid a heavy price, only to be stopped and killed by these two youths. The young demon lord even nailed many gods to the wilderness so that the world would remember them. It was truly hateful!

The Western Sect's Master Miaoti said sternly, "What a demon lord you are! You actually managed to deceive the heavens and infiltrate the Immortal Ancient Realm. When you emerge, you will be eternally imprisoned beneath the Buddhist pagoda!"

They were the most tragic lineage, as the young demon lord attacked their mountain gate twice during their descent to the mortal realm, disrupting their plans there.

Everyone was stunned. At this moment, the terrifying giant from the upper realm, who had not made a move for many years, was now sacrificing the Buddhist pagoda to protect a young boy!

Chapter 154 Ten thousand ways to refine the divine fire

Within the Immortal Ancient City, Qi Shi'an walked silently along the bluestone path, quietly comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Countless people outside witnessed this scene and all showed surprise. They didn't understand what this person wanted to do. To comprehend all three thousand bluestone paths? Obviously impossible, even if one spent a lifetime, it would be impossible!

“I think he has gone mad, he’s acting like a madman, aimlessly wandering. If he continues like this, his life will dry up.”

"I must say, the barbarians from the lower realm are truly like-minded. The two of them are both staying on the bluestone road, which is consistent with their sinful and bloodthirsty behavior in the lower realm."

A true god from Fire Cloud Cave spoke, his voice cold and mocking, his heart filled with hatred. The young demon lord had destroyed their sanctuary, Shi Hao had killed many of their people, and one of them was a celestial being.

Both of them have an irreconcilable hatred for their Fire Cloud Cave; they must be killed!

Four months have passed, and Qi Shi'an has traversed all the roads. The blue stone steps behind him are still hazy and indistinct, with some faint light occasionally flashing.

At this moment, in countless colorful worlds, streaks of fire shot into the sky, scattering the clouds.

That means that some people are becoming gods. To this day, as many as 70% of them have succeeded, which means that more than three million Venerables have become gods.

This is terrifying. These are all geniuses. Once they unleash their power, it will be absolutely astonishing!

Even the strongest first-generation, young supreme beings, and ancient freaks have made astonishing progress, occasionally emitting rare phenomena that have caused a sensation.

However, it was precisely at this moment that many gods with consolidated cultivation began to hunt.

Some ambitious individuals went directly to attack the young supreme being, who was still in seclusion but had already gained great fame in the outside world.

Deaths began to unfold gradually, becoming increasingly brutal.

At the same time, Qi Shi'an was suffering immense pain, with clusters of runic flames erupting from his body, burning his flesh and blood.

"Tree of Ten Thousand Paths, refine!"

Qi Shi'an trembled slightly, gritted his teeth, and the Myriad Dao Tree emitted wisps of Dao Qi within his body, flowing through his blood to every inch of his flesh and blood.

The external Dao is not a single "ancient fire." One Dao principle after another burns on its body, burning not only the physical body but also the primordial spirit, like immortal swords slashing down, cutting flesh and tearing the soul, causing unbearable pain.

Chi!

The Myriad Trees swayed within the inner cave, and flames along the bluestone paths converged towards Qi Shi'an, enveloping him before finally surging into the inner cave.

The Myriad Dao Tree absorbed these flames and then decomposed them into Dao Qi, which transformed into wisps of primordial ancient fire that impacted Qi Shi'an's physical body and primordial spirit.

These primordial ancient fires, formed from Dao energy, are the purest Dao, containing the most essential laws and principles, but also containing extremely strong power.

Cracks began to appear on Qi Shi'an's physical body, and in some places it even seemed to break apart. This was because hundreds of Dao principles were being released, burning, and refining him.

"Use the myriad paths as a furnace to refine yourself!"

In an instant, Qi Shi'an rose from the ground and sat cross-legged in the void.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the sky seemed to press down, followed by another tremendous tremor, as if the bluestone path had risen up and was close to him.

A strange change occurred in this place; the void began to cave in, and the rune leaves of the Myriad Paths Tree flew out, invisibly condensing into a divine furnace around him, which then contained him within.

Hundreds of Dao principles surged and roared, as if forcibly drawn in by the Myriad Dao Tree and melted into the divine furnace.

This is a spectacular sight!

Qi Shi'an consumed all the divine liquid and the primordial fruit from the Myriad Dao Tree, and his body erupted with astonishing divine light, the divine radiance shining through his body.
