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

"Rabbit, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't save you later," Shi Hao said through gritted teeth.

"Where did I say anything wrong?!" The little rabbit pouted, glaring at them with its big, bright red eyes.

Whoosh!

At this moment, many people couldn't resist taking action and rushed forward, trying to snatch the young Qilin beast.

They are all powerful figures from other ancient realms!

Chi!

A young man made his move; his palms were as large as mountains, reaching down from the sky to grab the little Qilin.

"Go away!"

Shi Hao appeared in a flash, blocking the little rabbit's path like a towering ancient divine mountain.

Cao Yusheng and Huo Ling'er will also make their move, while Chang Gongyan has drawn his bow and arrow, ready to kill the enemy at the first opportunity.

"Now that this young Qilin has recognized its master, everyone should leave, or you will inevitably suffer a beating."

Qi Shi'an's gaze was calm, and a runic halberd materialized in his hand, pointing diagonally forward.

Upon hearing this, many people felt a chill. Outside the imperial city, the black-robed youth before them swept through all the cultivators of Boundless Heaven, displaying an invincible aura.

Qi Shi'an's words intimidated everyone, and none of them wanted to encounter this demonic black-robed youth.

At this moment, the atmosphere was oppressive. Although many cultivators from outside the region did not move, their gazes toward the Qilin cub were incredibly fervent.

Of course, some powerful figures from the other nine heavens did not move, but simply stood blankly in the distance, unwilling to get involved.

“Fellow Daoist, you have profound fortuitous encounters and extraordinary strength, which we admire. However, this Qilin is also a path for our advancement. How is your obstruction any different from hindering someone else’s path to enlightenment?” A young cultivator from beyond the realm said solemnly, ready for battle.

"The people recognized by the Qilin are not you, so how can you say that you are hindering your path?" Qi Shi'an said indifferently.

"Fellow Daoist, are you truly going to take action against this person?"

"We will not hesitate!"

Qi Shi'an looked down with disdain, holding a halberd in one arm and pointing it diagonally forward. His black robe fluttered in the wind, and his hair danced in the breeze. He exuded a domineering aura, like a reincarnated demon emperor looking down on the world.

All the cultivators from beyond the realm had grim expressions, their eyes half-closed as they stared intently at the black-robed youth in front of them.

This person is such a great threat that they are not sure they can take him down right now.

If it were just one person, it would be fine, but there is also a white-clad youth who is no less capable than him. It seems that this white Qilin cub already belongs to that girl.

"In that case, fellow Daoist, you should take care of yourself."

The young cultivator from beyond the realm flicked his sleeve and withdrew from the competition.

Boom!

Suddenly, a beam of light flew in, cutting off the sky and imprisoning the void, making everything here seem to stop.

Shi Hao and the group of extraterrestrial cultivators were forcibly separated, each on one side, and could no longer fight.

The three supreme beings have all arrived and are sitting cross-legged in the void. One of them pointed out with a finger, creating this scene.

"Alright, now that the Qilin has recognized its master, let's stop here. You should prepare to head to the Imperial City."

The three spoke up, saying that the young people had completed the task and performed very well.

They seemed to have something else to say, but they remained silent. Clearly, this was not the right place; they would say it on their way back to the capital.

The three supreme beings were truly too powerful. One of them waved his sleeve, and everyone, including Shi Hao, Qi Shi'an, and the geniuses from beyond the realm, was completely obscured.

The next moment, they both disappeared from the spot.

The imperial city was majestic and boundless, filled with oppressive power. Surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars, the city walls, built from these stars, appeared incredibly thick and magnificent. Furthermore, supreme rules flowed around it, suppressing this world.

Everyone returned, but still they couldn't enter the giant city.

Throughout history, only the strongest or those who have signed the Primordial Covenant have been allowed to enter.

However, once these people go in, they never come back, and no one knows what happened to those who disappeared.

Mysterious and unknown, vast and boundless—this is the best description of this city.

A group of people returned to the market town, where people could freely enter the city.

"You are free to move around here and learn about the situation from the creatures living here. We still need to discuss things beforehand."

Having said that, the three supreme beings flicked their sleeves and took the Taiyin Jade Rabbit and the Qilin cub away, not giving anyone a chance to say another word.

Shi Hao and Qi Shi'an exchanged a glance and shrugged helplessly.

"Let's go into the city and find a place to sit down."

Qi Shi'an stretched and yawned lazily as he walked into the market.

As soon as he entered the city, Qi Shi'an saw a familiar face, then looked at Shi Hao beside him, and then at Huo Ling'er.

Shi Hao looked slightly embarrassed, while Huo Ling'er smiled and stared at the woman in front of her.

That person was none other than Qingyi!

Qi Shi'an thought to himself, "My God, this is a battleground!"

He was very self-aware and led the group away from the area first, finding a restaurant with a view of the area to observe from a distance.

The chubby boy, Cao Yusheng, whispered, "Brother Mo, they won't start fighting, will they?"

"Who knows? Maybe we'll even sleep together."

The two looked at each other and, as if they were of one mind, chuckled.

They said that this kind of chaotic scene is entertaining, enjoyable to watch, and worth watching more of!

Chapter 229 Ancient Covenant

"Hey, why is it that when those three are talking, Fairy Yuechan's face is the darkest?" the chubby Cao Yusheng exclaimed in surprise.

"That goes without saying. Shi Hao must have made advances towards Fairy Qingyi, and Huo Ling'er was very unhappy, so she gave Fairy Qingyi a mental attack."

"Since Fairy Qingyi and Fairy Yuechan are both the main and secondary beings, they must feel the same way. In order to anger Yuechan to death, Shi Hao must have said something to Qingyi as well, which is why he acted this way."

Qi Shi'an confidently recounted the grand drama he had orchestrated in his mind, and the chubby boy believed him, nodding repeatedly.

"Why are you two so gossipy?" the witch complained.

"Don't you want to know how dark Yuechan's face is?" Qi Shi'an asked.

"...Then I want to see too!"

Upon hearing that her nemesis Yuechan had suffered a setback, the witch immediately decided to join the ranks of those spying to see just how treacherous she truly was.

"Hey, isn't that Shi Hao's younger brother? Why is he here too?" Cao Yusheng asked, somewhat surprised.

Qi Shi'an looked up and saw a young man who looked exactly like Shi Hao and was wearing silver armor.

"elder brother!"

When Qin Hao's voice came, Shi Hao thought he had misheard, but when he turned around, he saw Qin Hao walking towards him.

"Why are you here too? Where are Father and Mother? Did they agree?" Shi Hao was very surprised. He did not expect that his younger brother had also gone deep into the area and come here.

Deep down, he didn't want it to be like this; he hoped that his parents would have one child to take care of them, rather than both of them leaving.

But then he sighed again. He had risked everything to come here, so what reason did he have to ask his younger brother for help?

He felt guilty when he thought of his parents and grandfather.

Because once we part, who knows when I'll be able to return?

"Hello, sisters-in-law," Qin Hao said with a light laugh.

He had seen both of them in the mortal realm before and had heard that they had an unusual relationship with his brother. Now that he saw that the two seemed to be having a good conversation, he blurted it out.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er and Qing Yi remained silent, their smiles stiffening as they pondered their own thoughts.

brush!

In the void, several figures appeared. The three supreme beings had returned, and beside them was the Taiyin Jade Rabbit holding a small Qilin.

Clearly, they left just now to discuss something with the cub.

After all, this young Qilin has been sealed away by the immortals since ancient times. As it grows, it will surely be able to dominate all the heavens and recreate the glory of the Ten Fiends of the past.

"It's about time. We should finalize the selections and get going," said the middle-aged man in white robes.

The three supreme beings sat cross-legged in the void, shrouded in chaos, a hazy and indistinct scene that made it difficult to see clearly.

"You should have brought them all. You've already shown favoritism towards cultivators from outside the realm, just to give them a chance. All the cultivators from our Three Thousand Provinces who made it this far should have passed the trials," the little rabbit muttered.

She was valued because she obtained a white qilin cub, and the white qilin was very attached to her.

“That’s right. There aren’t many cultivators from the Three Thousand Provinces who have come here to begin with, so let’s just let them all pass by. There’s no need to waste time. Let’s set off directly!” The middle-aged man in blue nodded, agreeing with what the little rabbit said.

The crowd was both surprised and delighted. Having survived countless near-death experiences to get here, they had certainly not wasted their time.

They were undoubtedly lucky; there were tens of thousands of people who set out at the beginning, but only a small number of them managed to reach this place.

“If you have any issues, please resolve them quickly. We will be leaving the Three Thousand Provinces soon,” said the middle-aged man in blue.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. This journey would take countless years, and it was impossible to know how many years it would take before they returned, which inevitably made them feel sad.

However, not everyone is reluctant to part with it. Some people can't wait and are eager to travel far away to pursue the supreme path.

“Since you are all alright, we will set off immediately. Our first task is to take you to learn about the Primordial Covenant,” said the middle-aged man in gray robes.

Many young geniuses were thrilled upon hearing this. They gazed at the ancient city built with stars as bricks and stones every day, filled with longing, but they were unable to enter.

Let alone entering the city, there are many ancient formations outside the city that ordinary people cannot cross.

However, this time, under the guidance of the three supreme beings, they were finally able to enter this magnificent imperial city.

As they approached the city, everyone looked up at the sky. This imperial city was so tall that it soared into the heavens, accompanied by the stars.

Moreover, the city gate was extremely thick, with countless stars inlaid on it, shining brightly. Who could push open this giant gate?

The three supreme beings looked solemn as they each took out a fragment of bone and held it in their palms.

All three bone fragments were the same color, pure white like jade.

Now, the three pieces of bone, put together, have transformed into a miniature altar, small and ancient, with a faint luster.

Everyone was astonished; the fact that an altar required three people to preserve it showed how immense the matter was!

hum!

The small altar shook violently, emanating a mysterious aura. It was only the size of a fist, yet it sucked everyone into it.

In an instant, everyone shrank and stood on the altar.

Chi!

The next moment, a beam of light shot into the sky, and the small altar, carrying a group of people, quickly disappeared into the city.

When it reappeared, the world was shrouded in darkness, and the surroundings were a hazy blur.

This is a vast plain, where darkness and deathly silence are its eternal themes.

Here, apart from them, there was no sign of life. There were many bones on the ground, their luster long since faded, all withered and decayed.

As everyone looked around, the boundless earth was scorched, as if it had been struck by lightning or burned.

Is this an ancient battlefield? No one knew, only the three supreme beings could explain, but they remained silent.

Piles of dry bones lay scattered about, and walking on them only produced a series of crunching sounds. Where did this plain lead? What was it all about?

At this moment, the middle-aged man in white robes produced a bone mirror, reflecting the distant scene. Everyone blinked as they watched the image in the mirror.

"This is... a wall?"

“Indeed, there are some stone tablets here. Find them yourselves and see what is recorded on them about the ancient covenant,” said the middle-aged man in gray robes.

"However, you must also be careful not to continue along this ancient battlefield. If you are not careful, you may walk into a strange rift and be transported directly to the border and into the enemy's world," the middle-aged man in white robes added.

Everyone sighed in dismay. This place was too big, with no end in sight. Where were they going to find the stone tablet?

Moreover, a slight misstep could lead to falling into a strange, massive rift and entering the enemy's world.

People scattered in all directions, carefully searching for the stone tablet.

However, this place is too vast, and finding a stone tablet is like finding a needle in a haystack.

In an instant, the crowd vanished, like ants scattered across a vast desert, insignificant and endless.
