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

However, with several extremely powerful skeletons present, the vast ocean cannot be too turbulent.

One of the seated skeletons exuded a terrifying aura that shattered the vacuum and suppressed all the riotous phenomena in the Yin Sha Sea.

This ensured that Qi Shi'an and the witch traveled safely without encountering any danger.

"This... could this be the supreme figure who protected the world back then?!"

The witch stared in disbelief, her alluring eyes wide, her graceful figure swaying as she looked ahead, her chest heaving and her breathing rapid.

What incredible power and heaven-defying methods must be required to achieve this?

Even Qi Shi'an couldn't help but take a second look. He guessed that this person's cultivation level should have reached the True Immortal realm before his death, or if not, it shouldn't have been too bad.

Moreover, he was a master with the world in his heart; even in death, he would fill the sea with his own body to suppress all forces that wreak havoc on heaven and earth.

"This place is not bad. Perhaps it can serve as a good burial ground for traitors in the future." Qi Shi'an gazed at the Yin Sha Sea, his thoughts wandering.

"How to say?"

“There are probably many traitors hiding in the Nine Heavens now, and the foreign lands are also eyeing us covetously. This battle is inevitable. Sooner or later, the first battle will be fought. Perhaps one day we can use this place to kill some bandits.” Qi Shi’an said solemnly.

Even someone as powerful as them could only bypass this area of ​​the sea and continue speeding forward.

However, the sea was so vast that it took them three whole months to cross it.

It should be noted that they all possessed extreme speed, yet it still took them such a long time, which gives an idea of ​​just how vast the Yin Sha Sea must be.

During this process, they encountered danger several times. There were mysterious things in the sea, such as the spirits of fallen heroes, which continued to roar even after many years, wanting to kill all living beings.

After taking many detours, they finally reached the other side of the black sea and landed on the shore.

"Sigh, we've been stuck at sea for so long, I'm sure someone has gotten ahead of us by now," the witch said with dissatisfaction.

They were definitely in the lead originally, but they were stuck for months, so someone must have overtaken them during that time.

Moreover, after being trapped for so long, all they obtained was a single Supreme Remnant Artifact. Compared to the dangers they faced, this gain was negligible.

"Stop complaining, hurry up and leave. I'll give you the Supreme Remnant." Qi Shi'an said softly.

“This mere broken artifact is not as valuable as my precious pearl.”

"Hey, next time I'll give you a flawless immortal artifact, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, the witch immediately became interested and asked, "Little devil, are you telling the truth?"

Without a second thought, Qi Shi'an replied, "A promise is a promise."

He doesn't have any true immortal artifacts now, but once he has the strength in the future, he will definitely try to get one from those immortal families.

At that time, let alone true immortal artifacts, even people will be transformed into an army of demonic corpses.

Anyone who doesn't want to participate in the Imperial Pass War will have their entire family turned into demonic corpses to serve as the vanguard for the Nine Heavens Army.

"That's great! I'm sticking with you!" The witch raised her eyebrows slightly, a charming smile spreading across her eyes.

"You've decided to follow me? Then start by serving me tea and water. If you do a good job, you'll get a promotion and a raise!" Qi Shi'an teased.

"...You're shameless! I'm a stunning beauty, you know. You really want me to serve you tea and water?"

"So what if she's a beauty? Even beauties need to be trained before they can be used." Qi Shi'an laughed and slowly walked forward.

"Pah, you're going to die, all you do is try to take advantage of me."

The witch spat and followed closely behind.

On this day, Qi Shi'an seemed to have a premonition. There was an inexplicable aura spreading in the distance, which aroused awe and shocked people.

In a daze, they seemed to have arrived at the era of creation, witnessing the initial form of all things.

At the edge of the earth, there seemed to be an incomparably magnificent scene, as if calling to them.

"We've finally arrived at the Imperial City!" Qi Shi'an said with a smile.

"Great, let me see what it looks like."

The witch cried out happily. After wandering for so long and experiencing so many hardships, it was truly remarkable that she had made it this far.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of the earth and saw a city!

"My God, is that really a city?" The witch was a little dizzy and was dazed by the sight.

At the horizon, everything was shrouded in gray. A blurry building connected with the sky and earth, filling all the space. It was enormous, towering into the outer realms, like an ancient imperial city.

This city is vast and boundless; only by using the myriad heavenly eyes to see its origin can one truly understand its entirety.

It was a colossal city, vast and towering into the sky, its walls alone obscuring its boundaries.

To the average person, all they would see is a hazy, gray wall stretching to the sky and boundless.

Coming here truly makes one feel insignificant, because it is so vast.

Around the city, one large star after another revolves around it. Looking at it, it is as if one has arrived at the beginning of the world and is standing in the boundless starry sky of the universe.

This imperial city stands here, stretching across the horizon as if blocking the way ahead, sitting there for eternity.

"Look, are the bricks and stones of those cities made and piled up from stars and meteorites?!" the witch exclaimed in surprise.

This colossal city was not built of ordinary bricks and stones, but rather by piling up materials refined from large stars, thus forming such a magnificent imperial city.

Qi Shi'an felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene. It was the first time he had ever seen a city built with stars as bricks and tiles. This was an extraordinary feat that ordinary people would never even dare to dream of.

The two were stunned into silence. Was this the imperial city deep within the forbidden zone?

It's hard to imagine such a sight: they stand outside the city walls like ants gazing up at the vast sky, with huge stars obscuring their heads and endless gray mist surrounding the ancient walls that seem to block out a world.

Moreover, this place is equipped with a powerful magic array, which is also set up outside the city, exerting its power in all directions.

As they drew closer, they felt immense pressure, an overwhelming sense of power, as if a group of supreme beings stood atop the city walls, looking down upon the mortal realm.

Then they saw a stone tablet that read: Only those who have signed the Primordial Covenant may enter.

If anyone else tries to force their way through, they are destined to perish, both physically and mentally.

"We've arrived here, but no one is there to guide us, and we can't even enter the city. What's going on?" the witch complained.

Qi Shi'an chuckled and teased, "That's right, even though I, the Demon Lord, have come in person, no one has knelt to greet me. How impolite."

Without delay, the two decided to circle the city to see where there were people.

Soon, they discovered some stone tablets by the roadside outside the city, which recorded the relevant matters: without signing the alliance, one could not enter the city, but could go to another place.

Not far away, there were some small towns. After identifying the location, the two rushed there quickly.

That small town is said to have developed from a market town.

Because the area around the imperial city was once prosperous, and the descendants of those peerless masters once lived here, hence the existence of markets and small towns.

Before long, the two found their destination. Looking into the distance, there was a considerable population, with markets and towns stretching out one after another, creating a lively scene.

"Finally, I've seen some living things." The witch breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm? You came really fast."

Qi Shi'an sensed the auras of Shi Yi, the Immortal, and the Ten-Crown King, as well as several other people, all gathered in front of the largest city.

There were some young monks there, each sitting cross-legged on a rock, closing their eyes to meditate.

Qi Shi'an looked around, and when he arrived, familiar faces such as Shi Yi, Zhe Xian, and Shi Guan Wang all nodded in greeting.

Although there are quite a few people here now, it is far fewer than the hundreds of thousands who set out at the beginning.

Many people perish somewhere, and only a very few manage to reach this place and survive. Luck definitely accounts for a large part of that.

Soon, he spotted the dragon girl in the crowd.

The Dragon Girl had been observing all along, and the moment she saw Qi Shi'an, she stood up and ran over with her lotus-like feet.

"You've finally arrived," the Dragon Girl said with a smile.

Qi Shi'an reached out and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, whispering, "We were delayed a bit on the way, otherwise it would have been faster."

"Oh, seeing your beloved little beauty, you've completely forgotten about me," the witch said seductively.

"How could that be? You'll be in charge of warming the bed tonight," Qi Shi'an teased.

The witch gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Die!"

Qi Shi'an's lips curled up slightly. He felt extremely pleased to see the witch break down.

"Two more people have arrived. They seem quite remarkable, but compared to those above the Nine Heavens, the gap is still significant."

Just then, someone spoke up, staring at Qi Shi'an and the witch.

This was a man with long, golden hair that reached his waist, and even his pupils were golden. He exuded an imposing aura and stood in another area.

Besides him, there were some others who did not seem to belong to the Three Thousand Provinces, and were on opposite sides from the Immortal and the Ten-Crown King.

"This man is incredibly lucky with women. The two women beside him are rare even in the heavens, truly peerless beauties, yet they are now circling around him. It's truly enviable," someone commented.

Qi Shi'an ignored all these comments, smiled faintly, and led the Dragon Girl and the Witch forward.

At the same moment, the cultivators on the Three Thousand Provinces side also looked over. When Yuechan saw the witch walking with Qi Shi'an, she showed a strange expression and stared at them intently.

"Little one is so slow. I'm already so late, and he's still not here," Qi Shi'an said leisurely.

For some unknown reason, none of the people around them entered the city. Instead, they all sat cross-legged on the large blue stone, each occupying a corner, forming some kind of alliance.

"Hi everyone, where are you all from?"

Qi Shi'an smiled at the unfamiliar cultivators, scanning their faces one by one.

These people might become his targets for robbery in the future, so he needs to recognize them so he can ask around about them later.

The crowd glanced at him sideways but ignored him, instead sizing each other up, knowing they would all be fellow disciples and rivals from now on.

“He’s quite a comical man,” the blond man said without any restraint, his pupils seemingly flickering with two golden flames, making him incredibly intimidating.

From his words, we know that he comes from the Nine Heavens, but we don't know which day it is. However, he is obviously exceptionally powerful.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant, looking down on everyone and not caring about the people on the field.

Behind the blond man were some other people, some of whom were truly unfathomable. Even Qi Shi'an narrowed his eyes and stared at them carefully.

Because they are so rich!

Chapter 226 Standoff

"Watch me pretend to be Tang, I'll outsmart him!"

Qi Shi'an's blood-red eyes darted around, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he quickly ran towards the blond man and his group.

"Hey, what day are you from? Which family do you come from? You speak with such confidence. How many strands of immortal energy have you cultivated? I'd like to get to know you young Supreme Beings of the Nine Heavens," Qi Shi'an said with a fawning expression.

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Those cultivators who did not recognize Qi Shi'an were all scrutinizing this black-robed youth from the Three Thousand Provinces, as if trying to see through something.

However, the cultivators from the Three Thousand States remained calm, clearly aware of the black-robed youth's personality, and thus showed no emotion, silently mourning for the cultivators of the Nine Heavens.

"Haha... You're so obsequious, you're obviously a scoundrel. It's amazing that someone like you didn't die in the no-man's land. You're really lucky." A man in purple raised an eyebrow, his expression disdainful.

In their eyes, the person in front of them must be weak and feeble, because a strong person would have a unique aura, an invincible power that only the strong can possess.

The black-robed youth before them had a fawning expression and showed no signs of strength whatsoever.

It's obvious that this is a weak person who managed to get here through the no-man's land entirely by luck.

"Ah, fellow Daoists are absolutely right. I have had extraordinary luck since I was a child. Whenever I travel, I am sure to encounter sacred medicines and divine medicines. Even divine materials and immortal gold are readily available."

After saying that, Qi Shi'an took out a rare divine herb from his spatial artifact and handed it to the cultivators of the Nine Heavens for them to admire.

"This is... Phoenix Blood Grass!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but reach out, wanting to get their hands on it.

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, Qi Shi'an put the rare medicinal herb into his mouth and began to chew it.

"Oh dear, sometimes being too lucky can be a burden. You find treasures everywhere you go, which can be overwhelming."

Qi Shi'an chewed the miraculous medicine while scratching his head and sighing, which gave people a comical feeling.

"Kid, you're wasting this divine medicine!"

The purple-robed man's lips twitched. To eat a divine herb raw without refining it would undoubtedly waste a great deal of divine essence. Are all the people in these three thousand states barbarians?

"Really? But I've always eaten like this."

The man in purple raised his head and said arrogantly, "Boy, how many divine medicines do you have left? Why not offer them up, and I can take you as my war servant!"

"What are your identities? I only accept strong individuals as my war servants. I'm not qualified to take anyone who hasn't cultivated three strands of immortal energy." Qi Shi'an scratched his head, looking completely innocent.
