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

This is a rare individual with an exceptionally strong physical body; if he were to be refined into a demonic corpse, who knows how powerful he would become.

He collected the spatial artifacts from these people, then plucked the still immature Qilin Ginseng and left the place.

He didn't have time to wait for the Qilin Ginseng to mature. There were still many opportunities in the Immortal Ancient Realm, and he had to keep searching for the chance to break through to the second immortal energy.

At this moment, on the edge of the vast, uninhabited area.

The cultivators from all sects were as if they had seen a ghost, unable to believe that the extraordinary Jingchen Buddhist disciple had actually died in battle!

"Qi Shi'an, I will tear you to pieces!"

On a lotus platform, the Buddha Miaoti roared, causing many true gods to collapse to the ground and many celestial beings to cough up blood as their breath surged.

People know that the Pure Dust Buddha was the successor carefully cultivated by this Buddha, who devoted endless effort to him, but now he has been defeated and killed so easily, which has caused him to lose his composure.

"I never expected that the Demon Lord... would actually take that step." Many people sensed something was wrong and worried about their disciples in the Immortal Ancient Realm.

Although they didn't get to see Qi Shi'an's final attack, it was because Qi Shi'an was surrounded by a celestial aura that obscured the heavenly secrets, making it impossible for outsiders to see.

Only after the great battle ended and Qi Shi'an withdrew his immortal aura did the two reappear, but by then Jingchen Buddha had become a cold, headless corpse.

However, from the information that Jingchen Buddha was easily killed, everyone could guess that the young Demon Lord had already cultivated immortal energy and surpassed many geniuses.

"The Demon Lord is about to rise. He has cultivated immortal energy at such a young age. If he doesn't emerge from the Immortal Ancient Realm soon, and is given enough time, it will be difficult to stop his progress in the future," a celestial being murmured, deeply moved.

This gave many people a jolt, and those who wanted to kill the Demon Lord felt very uncomfortable.

"Brother Qi's strength is amazing!" Luo Shenghang stared intently at the image reflected in the petals, hoping that one day he could be just as powerful so that he could protect the Luo family.

He learned Qi Shi'an's real name and glorious deeds from the old dean, and wished he could be as famous as Qi Shi'an and be feared by everyone.

In the depths of the Crimson Bright Realm and Yangshan Mountain, Qi Shi'an emerged from the crimson stone forest and arrived at an ancient land.

Here, clouds and mist rise and fall, the mountains are shrouded in a thin haze, and the spiritual energy is abundant and rising in wisps.

Deep within the mountains, a perfectly formed cliff face, a masterpiece of nature, bears a terrifying restrictive magic array.

At this moment, the restrictive magic array lit up with boundless and dazzling divine light, causing countless runes to appear on the mountain wall.

At the center of that restrictive magic array, an ancient tree stretched out across the entire world. Its entire body was dark red, the color of solidified divine blood, and its branches, like the claws of a demonic dragon, spread in all directions.

Beneath the shade of the ancient tree, several blood-red flowers grew in the soil, radiating streaks of crimson light and filled with vast divine power.

Is this it?

Qi Shi'an unfolded the ancient map and carefully compared it. The image of a red petal on the map was very similar to the plants in front of him. It could be basically confirmed that it was the precious medicine that Bai Qitian was looking for, Blood Essence Datura!

This Blood Essence Datura is a rare and divine medicine that grows in symbiosis with the Blood God Tree. Its effects are so extraordinary that they can drive outside religious leaders mad.

Because this miraculous medicine contains immortal substances, it can help those whose bodies are decaying and whose precious blood is depleted to regain their vitality, forging an indestructible body, and greatly increasing their lifespan. Therefore, it is also known as the immortal medicine.

"These are good things, this trip was worth it." Qi Shi'an smiled brightly. There were four Blood Essence Datura plants here. Even if he gave one to Bai Qitian, he would still have three left.

Moreover, the Blood God Tree is a rare ancient tree, whose trunk can be used to refine magical artifacts and divine pills, and to enhance its divine power.

However, it would still take a lot of effort to take them all. He looked around and found that the Blood God Tree was surrounded by bones, humanoids, ferocious beasts, birds... as if all their life force had been absorbed the moment they were picked, without a trace of resistance.

However, Qi Shi'an never expected that Bai Qitian had seen all of this.

Outside, countless powerful figures stared wide-eyed at the sight of the four Blood Essence Datura plants, their desire burning fiercely, wishing they could storm into the Immortal Ancient City and seize them.

That's a divine medicine containing immortal substances! It can greatly extend the lifespan of people like them who are about to decay. Who wouldn't be envious!

Even Bai Qitian himself didn't expect that there would be four Blood Essence Datura plants there.

Years ago, when he accidentally stumbled upon it, there was only one plant, and it wasn't even mature yet. He never imagined that after so many years, there would be three more plants.

Inside the Immortal Ancient City, Qi Shi'an slowly approached the magic array and gently touched it. His arm felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and he was immediately burned by a burning pain, as if he were being gnawed by red ants.

He took a deep breath, mobilized his physical strength, and his fists erupted with dazzling light.

He will break it by force!

Since only those with extremely strong physical bodies are allowed to enter this place, and the power of the rules does not target physical strength, then the treasures sealed here must also be the same.

A contest of physical prowess? Never lost!

The next instant, Qi Shi'an slammed his fist into the magic array, creating a violent shockwave that surged like a tsunami.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out, and the magic array shattered like a mirror, with cracks spreading out like a spider web.

Qi Shi'an squinted, his divine power erupting forth, transforming into an immortal sun, his dazzling fist striking the broken part of the magic array.

The speed was simply too fast, and the fist's energy was too intense and powerful, shattering the void and destroying everything in its path.

"Crack!"

A hazy glow scattered, the magic array shattered, and a shower of broken runes rained down on the earth.

call out!

With the Starfall Mountain protecting his head, Qi Shi'an was enveloped in a wisp of immortal energy that obscured the heavenly secrets. Then, like a bolt of lightning, he rose up and reached out to grab the Blood Essence Mandala.

Chi!

Just then, the Blood God Tree erupted with astonishing crimson light, and branches like divine chains burst forth from the ground, binding him.

Chapter 162 Wutian Palace

Qi Shi'an reacted extremely quickly, dodging the divine chains in a flash.

However, these divine chains seemed to have locked onto him, relentlessly pursuing him.

"when!"

The divine chains struck his Halloween True Demon Armor, producing a clanging metallic sound. The powerful force penetrated the armor and entered his body, causing his blood and qi to surge, and he was sent flying.

"Depend on!"

Qi Shi'an cursed inwardly. This Blood God Tree was actually a living thing, and its strength was not low. It was already a celestial god!

Before Qi Shi'an could make a further move, the Blood God Tree suddenly transmitted its voice, angrily saying, "You brat, spare my slumber, what is your crime!"

"I only wanted to pick a few Blood Essence Datura plants, what crime is there in that?" Qi Shi'an replied calmly.

The Blood God Tree angrily rebuked, "You still claim to be innocent? This Blood Essence Mandala is a divine medicine that I have nurtured for many years, like my own child. How is your action any different from killing my offspring!"

Qi Shi'an raised an eyebrow and said bluntly, "The difference is that you are not human! Moreover, I have never done anything to exterminate anything. All things have their order. When I collect precious herbs, I also leave seeds behind and do not damage the roots."

Before he traveled through time, as a model youth of the new era, how could he not know the principle of "sustainable development"?

The medicinal herbs need to be carefully nurtured and harvested slowly, in a continuous cycle.

Qi Shi'an stared intently at the Blood God Tree, a greedy look on his face. If he could take it away, it might produce more Blood Essence Mandala in the future. This was a divine medicine containing immortal substances, which even the sect leader coveted.

"The era has come to an end, and all things will eventually wither. Old Deng, you're just keeping these trees anyway, so why not give them all to me? It'll be a good deed, and who knows, I might help you through some calamity in the future," Qi Shi'an said shamelessly.

"Moreover, this is the last time the Immortal Ancient Gate will be opened. Who knows if it will crack open in the future and outside sect leaders will come in, and you will die as well."

"..."

The Blood God Tree remained silent, for it also knew that calamity was about to befall the heavens, and that an era might be restarted in the future. Whether it could survive that time was also a question.

Although this person was eloquent, he was able to reach the depths of the forbidden land of the gods.

Judging from his age of only seventeen or eighteen, and his cultivation level of just reaching the Divine Fire Realm, the fact that he was able to block one of its attacks shows that he is exceptionally strong.

"You...can you really help me?" the Blood God Tree asked in a deep voice.

Qi Shi'an patted his chest and declared righteously, "Every word of my Demon Lord is true!"

The Blood God Tree pondered that no matter what the future held, it had to leave this Immortal Ancient Realm. Relying on the people in front of it was not impossible; they were just a few Blood Essence Datura plants. As long as they could survive, these plants could regenerate in the future.

"Then... I'll trust you this once."

The Blood God Tree trembled, and four Blood Essence Mandala plants burst from the ground and flew to Qi Shi'an's front.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he was incredibly excited. With a wave of his hand, he put everything into his Qiankun bag.

"How...how can I take you with me?" Qi Shi'an asked, puzzled.

"Hehe... Young friend, take out your spatial artifact, and I can leave naturally."

The Blood God Tree smiled mysteriously, which puzzled him, but he still took out a golden bowl. This was a divine artifact that he had stolen from the Pure Dust Buddha. Inside, there was a space large enough to hold the Blood God Tree's enormous body.

With a "whoosh," the Blood God Tree shrank to only one foot tall, wrapped in a piece of pale purple sand, and disappeared into the golden bowl.

"Well, you old tree spirit, you actually have some hidden treasures!"

Qi Shi'an exclaimed in surprise, "The Soil of All Things is a kind of origin of heaven and earth, capable of nourishing all things, and is most miraculous."

Anything placed inside will remain intact and lifelike.

Some even claim that this is celestial soil reserved for burying immortal kings, and that if some supreme beings die and are buried in this soil, they will eventually be resurrected and return after countless years.

"Young friend, you may not know, but if it weren't for the Soil of All Things, how could I have given birth to so many Blood Essence Daturas in just tens of thousands of years?" the Blood God Tree said quietly.

Qi Shi'an waved his hand and said softly, "Never mind, you'll have to grow more Blood Essence Datura in the future."

"..."

The Blood God Tree was speechless. It suspected it had boarded a pirate ship, but the outcome was already set in stone, and rashly "disembarking" probably wouldn't change anything.

"By the way, what other treasures are there in the Forbidden Land of the Gods?" Qi Shi'an asked.

This Blood God Tree lives in the forbidden land of the gods year-round, and may provide a lot of useful information.

"The rare treasures in the Forbidden Land of the Gods are actually very few. Many spiritual medicines were taken away from this place by a white tortoise carrying a fairy. Now, the only thing that is useful to you is a palace that the white tortoise could not take away."

The Blood God Tree did not hide anything and revealed everything about the forbidden land of the gods.

"White turtle?"

Upon hearing this title, Qi Shi'an couldn't help but think of the immortal medicine, the white tortoise carrying the immortal, which existed in the Immortal Ancient Medicine Garden!

If it is, it can indeed move freely in and out of the Immortal Ancient Lands and enter various forbidden areas.

"What's the name of that palace?" Qi Shi'an asked.

"The Martial Heaven Palace!"

The name "Wu Tian Palace" may not sound impressive, but these three words once resonated throughout an era of the Immortal Realm.

"What kind of place is that? Can it help me burn my body with ten thousand paths?"

Qi Shi'an asked solemnly, "Now that my first strand of immortal energy has reached its peak, if I want to advance further, I need to cultivate a second strand of immortal energy."

Previously, his first strand of immortal energy was cultivated by refining his physical body with the Three Thousand Great Daos. The second strand must also be cultivated in the same way, by using the Myriad Daos as fire to refine his primordial spirit and by crossing the threshold of life and death.

“A divine temple, rumored to have been built by immortals. It may contain an extraordinary legacy, but no one can confirm it, not even me,” the Blood God Tree explained.

It was a place for cultivation and inheritance, attracting countless people, but no one had ever been able to reach it and bring the inheritance out.

Qi Shi'an couldn't wait to set off. Guided by the Blood God Tree, he traversed several void passages before finally arriving at an ancient site.

This area is devoid of vegetation and utterly silent.

A stone forest stretches across the landscape, silent for hundreds of millions of years.

Moreover, the pressure here is immense. Qi Shi'an feels as if he is carrying the weight of several worlds on his back as he walks. His steps are heavy, and sweat drips from his forehead.

Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough; if it were anyone else, they would probably have been crushed into mincemeat the moment they stepped in.

No wonder that after all these years, this place is still deserted, without even a trace of blood.

"This Martial Heaven Palace is very strange. If you can enter, you will have an immense opportunity. However, if you cannot even get close and force your way in, you may die. You should think carefully," the Blood God Tree's voice came, speaking solemnly.

The temple, built of wood and said to have been created by immortals, is actually quite ordinary. It is located in the stone forest and is not particularly grand; rather, it is extremely plain.

Brown wood, a two-zhang-high palace, everything looks so simple and rough.

It couldn't even be called a palace; it was just a wooden house, crudely made, with no luster or beauty to speak of.

The only thing that was passable was a massive divine palace, like a gate to the heavens, suppressing all things.

That extremely powerful pressure likely emanated from this divine palace.

"Are you sure you're not just messing with me?" Qi Shi'an asked suspiciously, feeling that this Blood God Tree was a bit unreliable.

"No matter what place you underestimate, you cannot ignore this place. You must have seen that divine palace. It is a treasure left behind by the immortals. Even if it is useless, it is enough to make many powerful people envious." The Blood God Tree spoke slowly.

"Damn it, I always feel like I've been tricked."

Qi Shi'an stood at the foot of the Divine Gate, looking up at it. The Divine Gate was filled with an ancient and vicissitudes atmosphere. He passed through the Divine Gate and walked into the palace alone. As soon as he stepped in, he felt as if the stars were shifting and fragments of time were flying.

In a daze, he saw the Nine Nether Beast open its jaws in the universe, devouring star after star; he saw a true dragon soar, piercing through the nine heavens; he saw a celestial sword annihilate an entire star field…
