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

Qi Shi'an was aware of the ancient covenant, so he didn't actually go looking for the stone tablet. Instead, he wandered around the area with the Dragon Girl and the Demoness to avoid entering the border region.

"Little devil, why aren't you looking for him?" the witch asked, puzzled.

"I am a descendant of the sinful bloodline. I have known about the Primordial Covenant since the moment I received the inheritance from my ancestors. Why bother searching for it?" Qi Shi'an smiled faintly.

"Then tell me about it, I'm too lazy to look it up," the witch said lazily.

Qi Shi'an shook his head helplessly, and then explained to the Dragon Girl and the Witch what he knew about the Primordial Covenant.

The so-called ancient covenant is nothing more than a kind of mandatory responsibility to bind the nine heavens and ten earths, with the aim of preventing a situation where the front lines fight bloody battles while the rear lines live in comfort and ease.

The alliance was jointly forged by the top experts of the Immortal Ancient Era. Its purpose was to ensure that there were enough strong people to guard the Heavenly Abyss or defend the Imperial Pass to resist invasions from other realms.

Anyone who breaks the oath will be devoured by the Great Dao. At best, their cultivation will plummet and their lifespan will be drastically reduced; at worst, they will perish on the spot, body and soul, beyond any hope of salvation.

In addition, those who break their oath are equivalent to traitors in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. All sects can join forces to besiege and kill them without guilt, and even implicate their entire clan, completely erasing them from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Furthermore, once the Imperial Pass is in danger, all cultivators above the Escape Realm must rush to its aid immediately. Even elderly powerhouses must go to the Imperial Pass and cannot remain in the rear. They must either die for their cause or break through their cultivation level to live a second life.

"According to what you say, why are there still so many cultivators hiding in the rear? As far as I know, there are quite a few in the Three Thousand Provinces," the witch whispered.

"They are only able to survive by concealing their true strength and refusing to guard the border. The alliance is now just a name."

"Didn't those powerful beings from the Nine Heavens notice this?"

"What if there are such people in the Nine Heavens? They would collude with them, secretly complying with their words while acting against their will."

Qi Shi'an stood with his hands behind his back, looking inscrutable, and said calmly, "Just you wait and see. Once the Imperial Pass is in danger, all sorts of monsters and demons will jump out on their own. At that time, it will be clear who is loyal and who is treacherous."

"Oh no! Someone's gone missing!"

Just then, the three supreme beings' expressions changed drastically. Their divine senses were incredibly powerful; they had been monitoring everyone's movements and had locked onto this place. But even so, they still lost one person.

Logically speaking, with them around, there should be no problem, but now a real big problem has arisen.

They stood up and rushed quickly into the dark end of the land.

"Qi Shi'an, something terrible has happened! Shi Hao has gone missing!"

At this moment, Huo Ling'er rushed over anxiously, seeking Qi Shi'an's help.

"Oh?" Qi Shi'an asked in surprise.

"He was only a few feet away from me, but when I turned my head, he disappeared!" Huo Ling'er was extremely anxious, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed together.

"Don't panic, take me there to see."

Qi Shi'an had the answer in his heart, but he still needed to confirm whether it was indeed that person who guided Shi Hao to another place.

Led by Huo Ling'er, they arrived at a stone tablet, where the place remained deathly silent, unchanged from before.

But for some reason, Qi Shi'an sensed a familiar aura.

The aura wasn't strong, but it gave him a very pure and powerful feeling.

This aura was completely consistent with the aura within the Martial Heaven True Immortal's inheritance cave in the Immortal Ancient Ruins.

"As expected, it was the future Heavenly Emperor who did this," Qi Shi'an muttered to himself.

"The little one is still safe and sound. He was just led to a certain place by someone. You don't need to panic too much. He will be back soon."

Qi Shi'an spoke calmly, trying his best to soothe Huo Ling'er's emotions.

"Someone? Who is that?" Huo Ling'er asked.

“Although I know, I can’t tell you. I can only say that Shi Hao is safe, and that person won’t harm Shi Hao. He just came to Shi Hao for help,” Qi Shi’an explained.

"really?"

"I'm sure of it, and I've even met that person before. Aren't I living a perfectly fine life?"

After being comforted by Qi Shi'an's words, Huo Ling'er's emotions calmed down temporarily, but she was still extremely worried.

"As the saying goes, evil deeds live on for a thousand years. He'll be fine. Let's go. The three supreme beings are summoning us. Let's leave first."

Qi Shi'an led the three women toward the three supreme beings.

They are about to cross this vast world!

Chapter 230 Entering the Heavenly God Academy

Standing on the academy's warship, looking outwards, one is enveloped in utter darkness, with chaotic energy churning. One can clearly see star debris drifting by, and even fragments of time dancing wildly. Stars flash and recede, traversing this place as if flowing against the river of time.

Fortunately, the magic array on the warship blocked these strange phenomena; otherwise, countless young cultivators would have been caught up in them.

After an unknown amount of time, a radiant glow suddenly appeared ahead, milky white celestial mist soared into the sky, the void barrier shattered, and the group stepped into a brand new ancient realm—the Boundless Heaven!

"How comfortable!" Qi Shi'an exclaimed.

They set off from the ancient teleportation array, left the Three Thousand Continents, traversed the gaps between realms, and finally arrived at the Boundless Heaven where the Heavenly God Academy was located.

Upon entering this realm, the most immediate sensation for everyone was the sheer density of spiritual energy, so rich it was almost liquid, more than ten times denser than that of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Their very souls trembled with each breath.

The sky and earth were bathed in rosy light, and auspicious clouds stretched as far as the eye could see.

A group of young cultivators were extremely excited. They had worked so hard for so long, traveling tens of thousands of miles, just to come to the outer realms to cultivate.

Now, all the effort has finally paid off. Just the spiritual energy here and the abundance of rare and precious materials make it all worthwhile.

When you reach the area of ​​the Heavenly God Academy, the scene is even more breathtaking and indescribable.

The Starry Sea is a mythical place, with countless legends surrounding it.

It is said that during the great battle, countless stars fell, all crashing down, their light boundless. From afar, a divine rainbow pierced the sky, its colors incomparably vibrant.

In that battle, a powerful being cleaved the sky with a single sword strike, causing countless stars to fall and engulf the area, creating an endless sea of ​​light.

After the great battle, this area became a wasteland because too many stars fell from the sky and destroyed it.

If this place weren't so vast and filled with countless great formations, it would surely have been smashed through and completely vanished from the world.

Even so, this place has changed dramatically. The original plains have turned into mountains because of the countless meteorites. Although some of them have sunk into the soil, a large number of them still remain on the surface, accumulating into mountain ranges.

Moreover, these mountains are unimaginably high, soaring into the clouds, exuding an aura of overwhelming grandeur.

Later, a powerful being used his divine abilities to refine them, turning all the meteorites into mountains, and vegetation grew back.

From then on, this area was named Starry Sea!

In addition, there are fragments of supreme treasures buried here, as well as the blood and bones of supreme beings, making this place even more sacred and extraordinary.

Furthermore, several immortal caves were submerged by the endless stars and buried deep underground.

Over the years, the Starry Sea has been revitalized, with many places now exuding an aura of immortality, making it increasingly sacred and peaceful.

The location chosen by the Heavenly God Academy is right in the center of this most auspicious place!

Legend has it that beneath the mountain range where the Heavenly God Academy is located lies a celestial abode from the previous era, awaiting excavation and soon to be revealed.

On ordinary days, the entire academy is filled with a faint ethereal aura, making it seem mysterious and extraordinary.

Clearly, this is the most ideal sacred place for cultivation, enough to make major ancient sects and aristocratic families fight tooth and nail for it.

Only by making this mountain range the foundation of the Heavenly God Academy can other major sects and aristocratic families remain content and stop fighting tooth and nail for it.

Of course, most people were afraid of one of the academy's supreme experts, which is why they dared not make a move. Otherwise, the Heavenly God Academy would not have been established on this mountain so easily.

The Star Sea is vast; this region is comparable to ten of the three thousand states!

As they entered the depths of the Starry Sea and approached the Heavenly God Academy, Qi Shi'an saw many people running around. Some rode golden lions that radiated golden light, while others sat on jade-scaled beasts... Most of them were disciples from super powerful forces!

Finally, they arrived!

Ahead, majestic mountains rise and fall, purple clouds billow, dragon veins undulate, divine birds spread their wings and soar through the sky, auspicious beasts appear in the mountains and rivers, and divine light soars into the heavens. It is clear at a glance that this is a rare pure land on earth.

The mountain range undulates like tens of thousands of real dragons lying in wait!

"Wow, this mountain is full of spiritual energy and divine matter, perfect for robbing!" Qi Shi'an's eyes lit up with excitement.

The Dragon Girl's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly as she said coquettishly, "Can't you be serious for once? The way you look at this pure land is brighter than when you look at me."

"Hehe... My occupational hazard has kicked in again, what can I do?"

Qi Shi'an took the dragon girl's fair hand, gently kneaded it, and laughed it off.

The witch beside her smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth. It was the first time she had ever seen the ruthless little devil have such a side to him.

Outside the mountain gate, the plaza was incredibly vast, paved with star-patterned stone bricks that shone so brightly they were like mirrors. At this moment, it was crowded with geniuses from various ancient realms.

These people have extraordinary identities and come from very powerful backgrounds.

Each and every one of them is the most outstanding young talent in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. There are princes and princesses of the current royal family and imperial family; there are divine sons and holy daughters of the immortal families; and there are even descendants of true immortals. Each of them has an incomparably strong aura and should be the supreme one!

There were so many people that it seemed to stretch endlessly as far as the eye could see, whether in the air, on the ground, or on the mountain peaks, all teeming with life.

"They've finally arrived. They've been taking forever," said one of the Jin family disciples.

"The three thousand provinces are so weak, why bother gathering them? No matter how much they are nurtured, they are still worms and can never become dragons." Feng Xingtian of the Feng Clan sneered, his tone filled with contempt.

"I have heard that there are quite a few people in the Three Thousand Provinces who have cultivated three paths of immortal energy in this world. Among them, the most famous are the four people known as the Four Great God Kings. I wonder if they can make it here alive."

Not far away, a noble lady from the royal family walked by, as well as a promising young man with a powerful stride. Both were outstanding young talents with unlimited potential for future achievements.

The Jin family disciple crossed his arms in front of him, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said in a low voice, "God King? Who gave them the audacity to call themselves God King? Truly, fools come from remote and impoverished places."

"It is indeed extraordinary to be able to cultivate three strands of immortal energy, but unfortunately, it is all in vain. Nowadays, there are not many peerless immortal seeds to give to them. They can only disperse their immortal energy and take another path."

"The resources of the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy have already been allocated in advance, and they can't compete with us true chosen ones for the resources of the Heavenly God Academy. These fools are only fit to eat scraps and are destined to be cannon fodder in the future."

Feng Xingtian made no attempt to hide his disdain, displaying an air of arrogance as if he regarded himself as a supreme being, looking down upon the people of the three thousand provinces.

Upon hearing this, the group of young cultivators from the Nine Heavens all burst into laughter, clearly sharing the same opinion.

However, Qi Shi'an heard everything they said. His divine sense was so powerful that even though they were far apart, he could still clearly hear the many discussions.

Qi Shi'an looked at the chosen ones in the square and couldn't help but lick his lips.

Clearly, he had already identified his first excellent prey.

"What do you think would happen if I took all their immortal resources?"

A flash of bloodlust crossed Qi Shi'an's eyes, radiating a chilling coldness.

"Perhaps I'll fight you to the death." A sly smile curved the witch's lips as she ran her fingers through her hair, her eyes gleaming with a hint of languor.

Qi Shi'an raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Wouldn't that be perfect? ​​If you rob a small one, an old one will come along. If this cycle continues, wouldn't we be able to plunder the resources of an entire clan? Just thinking about it is exciting."

"We're new here, so it's best not to cause any trouble. Let's settle down for a few days first."

The Dragon Girl was somewhat worried. Her beloved was always living on the edge, and if this continued, he would inevitably face a backlash from those immortal families.

“That’s right. Let’s settle things for a few days, gather information, and then slowly go and rob them.” Qi Shi’an nodded. He wasn’t a reckless person, but he had two immortal artifacts as his trump cards.

If those immortal families dare to bully the weak, he wouldn't mind descending with his immortal artifact, or even self-destructing it to destroy a region.

Of course, he wouldn't self-destruct his immortal artifact unless absolutely necessary, since immortal artifacts are rare, and each one used reduces the remaining ones, meaning he would have one less trump card to use in the future when resisting the alien army.

Soon, the warship landed on the plaza, and everyone jumped down, their eyes filled with excitement as they carefully examined their surroundings.

Feng Xingtian looked at him with a mocking gaze and scoffed, "Hmph, a bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world."

Upon hearing this, no one dared to speak, for judging from the speaker's demeanor, he was backed by an extraordinary force and possessed immense strength, making him someone that cultivators from the Three Thousand Provinces could not easily provoke.

Of course, there were also some young cultivators from the Nine Heavens who rolled their eyes. Obviously, they recognized who was speaking, but they couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Feng Xingtian, the strongest cultivation prodigy to appear in the Feng Clan in many generations, is said to be comparable to the progenitor and no weaker than the young immortals of that time.

His name is known throughout the land; he is one of the most powerful geniuses!

However, among them are many powerful and talented individuals, none of whom are convinced of their superiority. Everyone wants to compete and become the most dazzling star.

Once inside the academy, regardless of where you come from or which prestigious family you belong to, you are all on the same level, and the only way to compete for resources is through your own strength.

By then, they will have their own ways of dealing with Feng Xingtian.

At this moment, the area of ​​the square was evenly distributed, with young cultivators from powerful forces in the Nine Heavens occupying one side, chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, the immortal cultivators from the ten regions occupied one side, silent and trembling, waiting quietly for the academy elder to speak.

Only the rogue cultivators of the Three Thousand Provinces were somewhat restrained, as they were unparalleled geniuses who stood out among all others in the Three Thousand Provinces.

But once they arrived here, they suddenly felt like they had fallen from the heavens to the mortal realm, like a flock of lambs who had stumbled into a tiger's den, looking completely out of place.

Of course, the only difference was that Qi Shi'an and his group looked around very comfortably, without any sense of being in an unfamiliar environment. Instead, they seemed to be at home.

"Now that everyone is here, let's establish some rules before you are admitted to the hospital."

The gray-robed supreme being stood in the void, his voice soft yet clear enough for everyone present to hear.
