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

Screams rang out, and the expressions of several experts who had just entered the Divine Fire Realm changed drastically. They all decisively severed the arms that had been struck by the Blood-Transforming Divine Needle, and then transformed into rainbows and fled.

Unfortunately, the Blood-Transforming Needle was still tainted with wisps of demonic energy, which had now seeped into his body and flowed along his blood toward his heart.

Chapter 159 Farewell

"You think you can just leave? Not so easy!"

Qi Shi'an made a hand seal, detonating the demonic energy within their bodies. In an instant, the demonic energy attacked their hearts, merging with their inner fire to create demonic flames that burned their blood. The blood of the few who had not yet gone far was quickly burned away, leaving only demonic energy raging around their flesh and blood.

They felt their consciousness being swallowed by darkness, their eyes gradually losing their luster, until finally, they became demonic corpses that only knew how to kill.

"jingle……"

Qi Shi'an held a bell-shaped magical artifact in his hand, gently shaking it to produce a clear, ringing sound.

"Come!"

A magical voice echoed in the minds of the demon corpses, and they obeyed the command, turning around and quickly returning to the Three Thousand Bluestone Road.

In the nearby area, some powerful figures were watching. Upon witnessing this one-sided massacre, they turned and fled without hesitation.

"What kind of technique did that person use to turn a person into a demonic puppet in just a moment? That's terrifying."

This scene terrified many creatures in the shadows. It was too terrifying and too chilling. They saw that the black-clad youth had only shot out a few needles and instantly turned several powerful figures into obedient demonic puppets. Who could not be afraid?

"Xiao An, your supernatural powers... are quite frightening."

After dealing with the group, Shi Hao slowly stepped forward. When he saw the powerful figures who had just ambushed them standing blankly beside Qi Shi'an, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Cao Yusheng, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, and Dashen Stone shrank behind Shi Hao, not daring to step forward.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an was a living demon in their eyes!

"My supernatural power can only work on those with weak primordial spirits and those of the same realm. It's useless against those with stronger primordial spirits or those of higher realms than me," Qi Shi'an said with a smirk.

"Moreover, it requires my specially made treasure, the Soul-Capturing Bell, to control."

Although he had studied this supernatural power for a long time, he never put his heart into it. He spent most of his energy on the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art, which prevented him from using this supernatural power to refine opponents of a higher realm.

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?" Shi Hao shook his head helplessly.

It is already incredible that someone can be turned into a demonic corpse in an instant. Coupled with Qi Shi'an's strength, this means that no one at the same level can escape his clutches. Once you are attacked by demonic energy, you will no longer be yourself. How terrifying is that?

Indeed, there are only wrong names, not wrong titles.

"This time the harvest was quite large, I obtained a sword embryo." Shi Hao stared intently at the sword embryo in his hand, as if trying to see through its material.

He encountered several ominous events; the weapons wielded by those creatures were extraordinary, but once they died, their treasures would decay as well.

Only this sword body is different; its material is clearly extraordinary and can last for eternity.

"This sword is called the Great Luo Immortal Sword, and it once belonged to a five-crown king," Qi Shi'an said with a slight smile, explaining the situation to everyone.

"What?! It's that sword?" Qingyi was extremely surprised upon hearing this.

"But, with the disappearance of the Five-Crown King in the Immortal Ancient World, wasn't this sword already missing? How could it appear in the Void Rift?" The Lunar Jade Rabbit asked, puzzled.

Shi Hao instantly understood. He had heard the Void Heaven Divine Vine say that the Great Luo Immortal Sword had once followed an ancient freak who reigned supreme for five generations and was invincible in the Immortal Ancient Realm.

All geniuses and outstanding figures pale in comparison to him, and are far from being his match.

However, he ultimately perished. An ominous event occurred when he took his final step; he was carried away by the gray mist and disappeared.

"So it was him!" Shi Hao nodded. On the black ancient ship, that person had left a deep impression on him. Even in death, he was still incredibly powerful.

If that person were still alive, it would be even more terrifying!

"This sword has a long history, but it is only a rough prototype and has not been properly refined. It is extremely ancient."

At this moment, the Void Heaven Divine Vine, hidden inside Shi Hao's Qiankun Bag, ran out.

"This sword is not unforged, but... it just wasn't ready in time."

These words immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Little kid, you seem to know a lot about this sword?" the Void Heavenly Vine asked in surprise.

"Xiao An, do you know the origin of this sword?" Shi Hao asked impatiently.

"I once saw some details in a bone book. The age of the Great Luo Immortal Sword is long gone, but I know it is even older than the Immortal Ancient Era."

"Even... far surpassing the Fallen Emperor Era!"

Qi Shi'an smiled calmly. 'Lies' came out of his mouth without hesitation. Although the bone book was fake, the era it belonged to was true. He couldn't possibly reveal the true origin of this sword. Who knew if the source of darkness could hear him?

After all, those who reach that level possess supernatural powers that far surpass comprehension and are unfathomable. They could even reverse the flow of time and casually annihilate a person without any problem.

"Beyond the Fallen Emperor Era?!"

Upon hearing this, all of them showed expressions of surprise.

It should be noted that the nearest Immortal Ancient Era to them was separated by countless years, let alone the Emperor's Fall Era.

"Moreover, this material can only exist in places like the Immortal Realm."

Qi Shi'an told a small lie, but he had no choice but to do so to avoid trouble.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the material of this Great Luo Sword Embryo could not exist in the Immortal Realm or the Other Realm, let alone in the Heavenly Realm. This was an Emperor Sword made from the scraps of the Three-Life Coffin!

"You mean... this sword is very likely a supreme treasure forged by some supreme being in the Immortal Realm?!" Shi Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. This sword embryo, which he obtained by chance, actually had such a great origin.

Qi Shi'an shrugged and said casually, "I didn't say that."

"Little kid, which bone book did you see this in? Let me study it."

The Void Heaven Divine Vine was extremely excited. Few people in the world could explain the mystery of the Great Luo Sword Embryo; they only knew that it might be a sword embryo born from heaven and earth.

Now, there is a bone book that clearly records the origin of the sword embryo, and the secrets contained in that bone book may be far more than that.

Perhaps, it even records that elusive era of imperial decline!

Qi Shi'an smiled and said, "Do you want to see it? I'll write it down for you now."

"..."

"You didn't make all of this up, did you, you brat!" the Void Heaven Divine Vine said angrily.

"Who knows? If you believe, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't." Qi Shi'an gave a meaningful smile, making him hard to read.

"Since you practice swordsmanship, I'll let you study this and comprehend it."

Qi Shi'an presented a sword tablet, which Shi Hao took. When he saw the two characters engraved on it, he became excited.

"One of the three great sword techniques of the Immortal Ancient Era, where did you get this?"

"It is within the Donghua Secret Realm, but you must return it to me after you have finished comprehending it, as I still have a use for this sword tablet."

Qi Shi'an's future cultivation will require Heavenly Tribulation. In the Ancestral Court Dao Realm system, there is even a realm that requires experiencing a special Heavenly Tribulation. He plans to try to find the Tribulation Abyss Palace in the No Man's Land, which is full of Heavenly Tribulation power.

This sword tablet, obtained from the Donghua Secret Realm, might help him find the route to the Jieyuan Palace.

After all, this sword tablet comes from that place and carries the aura of that place.

“Then I also have a treasure.” Shi Hao smiled lightly and handed Qi Shi’an two pages of gold paper.

"Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique!"

Qi Shi'an was slightly surprised, but not at all unexpected. In this way, he would have five of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques.

"We also need to find a way to break through and go further." The little rabbit clenched its fist, cheering itself on.

"Yes, we can't fall behind!" Cao Yusheng said confidently.

The group stayed on the bluestone road for more than a month. During this month, Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao had both mastered most of their respective treasure techniques.

With the help of the Myriad Dao Tree, Qi Shi'an was able to comprehend the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique within a month, while Shi Hao possessed an Enlightenment Stone, allowing him to comprehend it at a similarly rapid pace. Furthermore, since he was using a sword-type treasure, it was an even better fit for him.

"What are your plans next?" Qingyi asked Shihao.

Shi Hao stood tall and said confidently, "I want to cultivate a second strand of immortal energy."

The group was stunned. This guy had only taken the first step and was already thinking of defying the heavens again. They really didn't know what to say.

"Are you clear about your path?" Cao Yusheng asked. After all, Shi Hao had just succeeded on one path. Was he going to take another one?

Such haste in making drastic changes could very well lead to an unstable foundation and terrible problems.

"I know my path very well, and I've already made ample preparations." Shi Hao nodded and smiled confidently.

"I think you shouldn't rush things. You should stabilize your progress first. Why don't you go out for a walk or take a stroll?" Qingyi was afraid that he would go astray in his cultivation. Such frenzied practice could easily lead to problems.

"Alright." Shi Hao nodded. After entering the Immortal Ancient City, there would always be people who wanted to deal with him. It would be better to go out and eliminate his enemies.

"Xiao An, do you want to come with us?" Shi Hao asked.

Qi Shi'an shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid it won't work this time. I promised a senior that I would go to a secluded place to find a medicinal herb for him. If I go too late, I'm afraid someone else will get there first."

Qi Shi'an never forgot Bai Qitian's instructions, and he also wanted to go there to see what kind of divine treasures were hidden there.

A place that only allows those with extremely strong physical bodies to enter has a very high probability of giving birth to heaven-defying treasures, and he could not possibly miss such a place.

"Alright then, it seems we'll have to part ways for now." Shi Hao said with some regret, but the Immortal Ancient Realm was so vast that perhaps they would meet again someday.

"I'm taking my leave now. We'll meet again in the great battle of the Immortal Ancient Era!"

Qi Shi'an took a step forward, and like a ray of light, he disappeared silently into the three thousand bluestone road.

This seclusion lasted for more than a year. Not only did he successfully cultivate a spiritual embryo, but he also cultivated a wisp of immortal energy, causing his combat power to soar. He was fearless even when he encountered a celestial being.

"Xiangu, welcome your king!"

Outside, cultivators from various sects felt that things had been too peaceful lately; nothing major had happened in the Immortal Ancient City for over a year.

Some people who were concerned about Qi Shi'an and wanted to know about his current situation were helpless because the Three Thousand Bluestone Road was shrouded in mist, and they couldn't see anything about him at all.

Not long ago, when someone inscribed his name again, they saw violent fluctuations at the spot, which were extremely terrifying, and then they disappeared.

"After that person activated the flames of the Three Thousand Great Dao Runes, he became invisible. Don't tell me he successfully took that step," an unknown god muttered to himself.

In fact, whether Qi Shi'an was in seclusion or out of seclusion, they could hardly see him. When he reached this place, the sky was obscured and he could not be seen.

Only when Qi Shi'an completely integrates immortal energy into his flesh and blood, no longer revealing it and concealing all his aura, will they be able to see him again.

Even though it has been more than a year since the Immortal Ancient was opened, the people of the major immortal lineages still grit their teeth and are furious when they see him, wishing they could kill their way into the Immortal Ancient and extract his soul and refine his spirit.

Chapter 160 Forbidden Land of the Gods

Chimingjie, Heyang Mountain.

This small world is very mysterious, and ordinary people cannot enter it. In the past, only a few people knew about this place. Those who could come here were either powerful first-generation beings or ancient freaks.

"Is this the place?"

Qi Shi'an stood on the edge of Heyang Mountain, looking down at a canyon below, carefully comparing the map in his hand with the ancient map.

This canyon has an exceptionally elegant environment, with a long, winding river flowing through it, towering ancient trees everywhere, and a rich spiritual aura that is visible to the naked eye, forming a misty atmosphere, making it seem like a fairyland.

However, this very fairyland is a forbidden area of ​​the gods in the ancient world!

As its name suggests, this place is so dangerous that even gods dare not enter it casually. Even a sect leader could easily perish if he is not careful.

Legend has it that there is a divine treasure inside, but no one knows exactly what it is.

As Qi Shi'an approached Heyang Mountain, he sensed an aura of immortality that startled him.

Because he had successfully taken that step and cultivated a wisp of immortal energy, he was most sensitive to this kind of energy. He vaguely felt that the wisp of immortal energy in his body was being nourished.

Moreover, there is a strange pressure, which feels like carrying a mountain on your back even at the outer perimeter. It is unimaginable how strong the pressure would be if you went deeper into the area.

Qi Shi'an wondered to himself, "Could it be related to the divine treasure inside?"

He looked around and found that many people had come here, including the indigenous people.

In addition, he also saw people from Western religions.

"There are still quite a few people."

However, this was to be expected. After all, the last opening of the Immortal Ancient City revealed many secrets that had been kept hidden for many years, so more and more beings knew about it.

However, most practitioners only dare to wander around the perimeter, because only a very small number of those who actually go in can come out alive.

Legend has it that only a few exceptional talents have ever survived and brought out extraordinary treasures. The most famous of them was a champion who obtained a piece of seven-colored immortal gold, twice the size of a fist, with immeasurable value.

"There must be many unusual things buried here." A glint of light flashed in Qi Shi'an's eyes. Once he found something, it would be beyond his imagination.

Strange creatures roam the outer mountains, occasionally glancing this way with cold, murderous eyes, as if they see them as food and want to devour them.

Qi Shi'an did not get too close, nor did he want to offend anyone easily. Among these native creatures were many masters of the sect leader level. Although he was confident that he could rival the gods, it would be as easy for a master of the sect leader level to kill him as to crush an ant.
