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

"Princess of the Fire Kingdom need not worry. Your talent is no less than that of the people of the Nine Heavens; it's just that your bloodline has not yet awakened."

Qi Shi'an spoke slowly. Huo Ling'er, as a descendant of the Vermilion Bird King, possessed the true blood of the Vermilion Bird, so her talent could not be lacking. However, she was gentle in nature and not as ruthless as Shi Hao in cultivation.

If her true bloodline is fully awakened, her strength will surely soar to new heights.

However, due to the long generation gap, the bloodline has become diluted, making it extremely difficult to meet the conditions for true awakening.

"Oh? Xiao An, from what you're saying, it seems you've figured out the origin of Ling'er's bloodline," Shi Hao said urgently.

“Isn’t her bloodline the same as ours? We both have sinful blood. It’s just that you two are direct descendants of the Seven Kings, unlike me, who is merely from a small tribe.”

Qi Shi'an wore a mournful face, even wiping his dry eyes to feign a pitiful appearance.

This acting was effortless, but Shi Hao wasn't buying it at all. How could he not know his best friend's personality? He was even more demonic and utterly wicked than him.

"Stop pretending, just tell me!" Shi Hao said with a laugh.

"Boring."

After saying that, Qi Shi'an's palm flashed, and a jade box came into view. The box was as white as mutton fat jade and was covered with runes.

"What is this?" Shi Hao asked.

Qi Shi'an raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "What could it be? It's naturally that thing that comes from inside my body."

Shi Hao was shocked. The thing inside his body was the Myriad Dao Tree that Qi Shi'an had mentioned!

Could it be that what's inside is a fruit of the Myriad Paths Tree?!

Chapter 218 Plucking the Strings of Fate

"Xiao An, could this be...?"

Shi Hao's fingers trembled, his breath hitched, and his eyes were filled with excitement and shock.

Qi Shi'an nodded and smiled faintly: "That's right, this thing is enough to awaken her."

The contents of this jade box are none other than the Dao Principle Fruit produced by the Myriad Dao Tree, and it is a Dao Principle Fruit that contains the True Phoenix Great Dao Law!

Now, the Myriad Paths Tree within his body has borne nearly a thousand fruits, among which the fruits containing the Ten Fierce Great Dao Laws have all ripened.

Giving Huo Ling'er a True Phoenix Dao Fruit now is fine. If he asks Shi Hao for more precious medicines in the future, it can grow again. Although it will take longer to mature than the first time, it is still a renewable resource.

That's why he picked one and gave it to Huo Ling'er to awaken.

"Will this... affect you?" Shi Hao frowned.

"Don't worry, if you send me more precious medicine in the future, it's not impossible for me to have another one," Qi Shi'an said with a smile.

Shi Hao nodded heavily: "Then thank you very much. If I come across any rare and precious medicines in the future, I will save some for you."

"Hey, we're best friends, let's not talk about this. As long as we have the strength and resources, we can eat whatever we want."

Qi Shi'an waved his hand and said with a grin, "Consider it my wedding gift to the two of you."

He didn't care about this one True Phoenix Dao Fruit. Anyway, he already had nearly a thousand, and they were renewable resources. What difference would it make if he gave one to Huo Ling'er to awaken?

Moreover, he also wanted to know whether Huo Ling'er would be captured by that invincible Immortal King who could lift a city with one hand if she awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline and entered the Heavenly God Academy with Shi Hao.

Now, Qi Shi'an has plucked the "string" of Huo Ling'er's original destiny. As for whether this "string" will be straightened or lead her down an unknown path of fate, that remains to be seen.

This made him somewhat hopeful.

Shi Hao handed the jade box to Huo Ling'er, then put his arm around her and chuckled, "Hey, you know I'm planning to get married. Do you want to come to my wedding?"

Shi Hao casually uttered the words "marriage," causing Huo Ling'er to blush instantly. She glared at him, feeling that this guy had been getting increasingly presumptuous lately.

Qi Shi'an crossed his arms over his chest and said with a broad smile, "Me? Forget it, I won't disturb your romantic night. I'll go wait outside the forbidden area with the Dragon Girl."

Shi Hao nodded without saying anything, since they could meet again at the Heavenly God Academy anyway.

Soon, they left Zhongzhou. Following Shi Hao's instructions, after traversing hundreds of states, the silver chariot came to a stop.

"See you at the Divine Academy that day!" Shi Hao waved his hand and jumped off the boat with Huo Ling'er.

"See you at the academy, you two! Remember to give my regards to the Fire Emperor!"

Qi Shi'an waved goodbye with a slight tilt of his hand, watching the two figures leave, and murmured to himself, "I hope that this time, you two will no longer be a pair of star-crossed lovers."

Despite the long and arduous journey, nothing was more important to him than having a beloved person by his side.

Perhaps this is why he was willing to help Huo Ling'er awaken ahead of schedule.

Compared to suffering, he was born to love family happiness. What is the point of coming into this world if he doesn't change anything?

“Let’s go, take me to the entrance of that road.”

Qi Shi'an gave the two women instructions in a commanding tone.

And so, Qi Shi'an and the Dragon Girl traveled together once more, heading towards the no-man's land.

At this time, after discussions among the three supreme beings, they relaxed the conditions, allowing everyone to walk that ancient road. As long as they could find that ancient city, they would pass the test and be qualified to join the Heavenly God Academy.

The news caused an uproar throughout the three thousand provinces.

Now that everyone knows the purpose of the visitors from beyond the realm, many geniuses are moved by the news and wish they could rush to the no-man's land immediately.

However, some high-ranking members of various sects frowned, fearing that if those young talents were too arrogant and recklessly embarked on their journeys, it could very well lead to heavy losses for the Three Thousand Provinces.

“In the past, the old leaders of the Creation Academy all died in the forbidden area. If you go in, you must think it over carefully.”

"Throughout history, only a minority of people have managed to survive. Be careful, cautious, and think thrice!"

Some important figures stepped forward, saying little, but it was like a bucket of cold water being poured on them, extinguishing the burning flames in the hearts of many young talents.

This is an undeniable fact. While the Three Thousand Provinces are indeed vast, the uninhabited areas are even more magnificent and full of dangers. To truly step into them is to be doomed to a near-death experience.

Although some areas have been cleared out, they are relatively safe.

However, that ancient trial path is definitely not included in this list.

Should I go or not?

In the following days, the three thousand states were not at peace; there was commotion everywhere, and many people were discussing it.

"You think you're a ten-time champion? He has real strength and is qualified to enter the Heavenly God Academy, so there's nothing wrong with him embarking on that ancient path."

"Yes, we should realize that those who have not cultivated immortal energy cannot compare with the banished immortals and the Demon Lord. It is unrealistic to think that we can enter and obtain qualifications by luck."

……

Of course, some people refused to give in, refused to believe in evil, and thought that they still had potential to be tapped.

So what if I don't have immortal energy? So what if my strength is inferior to those few? Throughout history, how many supreme beings have achieved great things late in life?

Some young people are ambitious and have aspirations. They feel that they can rise to prominence in the future and are unwilling to be ordinary.

On the day the conditions were relaxed, the three middle-aged men also said something to the geniuses of the Three Thousand Provinces, telling them that it was not important whether they cultivated immortal energy or not, because they still had a chance to rise up. They could transform into Heavenly Gods, and even be reborn from the ashes in the later major realms.

This undoubtedly inspired many people, and many talented individuals with dreams embarked on their journey!

The upper realm is becoming increasingly noisy, making it difficult to find peace.

At this moment, as agreed, the two women escorted Qi Shi'an and the Dragon Girl to the edge of the no-man's land, then landed on the ground and came to the side of the three men to listen to their instructions.

This uninhabited area is different from the area leading to the ancient immortal ruins; it is separated by dozens of states.

This is a terrifying area, and few people dare to set foot here on ordinary days.

The uninhabited area leading to the ancient ruins, though dangerous, has been largely explored and is now accessible.

Shengzhou, the most remote area, is adjacent to towering mountains.

Qi Shi'an and the Dragon Girl stood here, looking ahead. The mountains in the forbidden area were too tall, dark and imposing, as if supporting the palace of a true immortal.

Halfway up the mountain, it was already shrouded in deep clouds and mist, and it didn't look like a mountain at all, but rather like pillars supporting the sky.

"They arrived quite quickly."

Not far away, on a low hill, the three supreme beings from beyond the realm arrived, sat cross-legged, and looked down at the man and woman below.

"Hey, three handsome old men, we meet again."

Qi Shi'an greeted him with a smile and a wave, trying to get closer to him.

"..."

Three black lines appeared on the foreheads of the three supreme beings, and their mouths twitched. They thought, "Old men are old men. Adding the word 'handsome' can avoid implying that they are old?"

This young man in black robes is truly fearless!

If they hadn't mastered the art of self-cultivation, and if this person hadn't truly been a promising talent, they would likely have faced a minor punishment if they had lacked even one of these qualities.

"Young man, I see that you have exceptional talent and your personality is compatible with mine. How about I take you as my disciple?" the middle-aged man in blue said with a smile.

"What can you teach me?" Qi Shi'an asked.

"I'll teach you whatever you want to learn."

"Then... I want to learn how to truly transcend the supreme Dharma, do you know it?"

Upon hearing this, the other two supreme beings couldn't help but raise their eyes to look over.

"Kid, you're messing with me, aren't you?"

The middle-aged man in blue said indignantly, "Being above all others, even a Celestial King wouldn't dare to utter such boastful words."

"Tch, what are you pretending to be rich for? You're just bragging."

Qi Shi'an shrugged and made a "bear-like spread-hands" gesture.

Hearing this, the Dragon Girl couldn't help but chuckle.

"You...you..."

The middle-aged man in blue glared angrily, almost fainting from anger. So many people had begged him to take them as disciples before, but he had refused.

Now that he wants to take on apprentices, he is actually being looked down upon, and even being lectured by a junior. Wouldn't he become a laughing stock if word got out?

The middle-aged man in white robes burst into laughter: "Hahaha... Well said. You like to brag even if you don't have the strength. Old Luo, you've finally been looked down upon by the younger generation."

"Hmph, I won't stoop to your level."

The middle-aged man in blue robes flicked his sleeve, turned away angrily, and silently recited a calming mantra.

"You may all sit down and rest."

On the low hill, the middle-aged man in the gray robe shook his head helplessly. With a flick of his hand, two futons appeared in the air. They were woven from white divine grass and glowed. Faintly, there were bursts of Zen chanting.

Beside them, the blue-eyed woman and the other four were all extremely surprised, especially Lin Tian, ​​who showed envy and seemed to care a lot about the futon.

Qi Shi'an and the Dragon Girl didn't ask any more questions. They rose into the air, sat cross-legged, and closed their eyes to rest.

In an instant, he was startled. This futon was too strange. As soon as he sat down, it brought him peace and cleared away all his distracting thoughts.

Soon, he entered a state of spiritual tranquility, vaguely about to comprehend the Dao!

What kind of meditation cushion is this? It's remarkably similar to the Wan Dao Tree!

The middle-aged man in white robes seemed to read his mind and laughed, "Young man, this is not an ordinary futon woven from divine herbs, but something from a true immortal's cave."

Qi Shi'an suddenly realized that there were many opportunities and good fortunes in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and naturally, there was no shortage of true immortal caves.

However, he was still somewhat surprised to find himself sitting on a futon related to immortals.

Immediately afterward, a strange light flickered in Qi Shi'an's eyes. He was thinking, if there really were many immortal caves in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, wouldn't he be going to become incredibly wealthy?!

Upon thinking of this, Qi Shi'an's eyes gleamed with a wicked light, and he could barely contain the drool at the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly wiped it away, closed his eyes again, and entered a state of enlightenment.

Before the appointed time arrives, he also needs to refine his cultivation methods so that he will have more tricks up his sleeve when he robs people in the future.

And so they waited for several days. Shi Yi arrived, the Immortal appeared, and the Ten-Crown King reappeared!

Besides them, there are many others, no less than tens of thousands!

At the same time, a figure of a Kunpeng soaring through the sky crossed over, followed closely by a fiery red Vermilion Bird. The two flew together and landed side by side.

Those two were none other than Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er!

Chapter 219 Dangerous Forbidden Zone

"Has it finally arrived?"

Qi Shi'an smiled slightly, pleased to see the two of them together.

Guan Huoling'er's aura was now incredibly powerful, having successfully awakened the Vermilion Bird True Blood within her. Her aura was extremely strong, far surpassing that of when she left that day.

"Ling'er, I thought you weren't coming."
