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

During this time, they even encountered living beings, and terrifying ancient beings, either sealed or trapped in the Boundary Tomb, projected themselves at them, almost causing a major accident.

"Waaah..."

A long horn sounded on the warship, summoning everyone. They embarked on their journey home, and the warship transformed into a divine ray of light, disappearing from the Boundary Tomb and beginning its return to the Heavenly God Academy.

The warships sped up and became increasingly blurry. As several elders conjured a bone altar, they tore through the void and traversed the universe.

hum!

Soon after, a silver light shone brightly in the center of the Heavenly God Academy. After a series of hardships, the group finally returned to safety.

Although they gained a lot this time, with everyone obtaining their own Dao Seeds, and could be considered to have returned with a full harvest, they also suffered considerable losses.

Many masters died; they were all geniuses among geniuses, otherwise, how could they have dared to embark on the path of cultivating ancient methods?

Within the academy, one sacred mountain after another rises, silver waterfalls cascade down, and purple mist rises. This is a tranquil and peaceful sanctuary, far removed from war, allowing one's body and soul to relax completely.

"Now that we have obtained the seed, we can fuse with it and cultivate the ancient immortal scriptures!"

Everyone was energized and eager to make a breakthrough as soon as possible and forge their own path to glory, because time was running out and they didn't have many opportunities left.

"Unfortunately, we didn't find the perfect seed!"

Someone sighed softly, feeling extremely disappointed and unwilling. This naturally came from the mouth of the young supreme being who possessed three strands of immortal energy.

Shi Hao remained silent. He felt helpless and regretful that he had not been able to capture a single perfect seed on this long journey.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Qi Shi'an patted Shi Hao on the shoulder.

"What else can I think about? I don't have your luck to get a supreme immortal seed," Shi Hao sighed.

Qi Shi'an smiled faintly: "Seeing how worried you are, why don't you come with me to visit the Grand Elder?"

"Going to visit the Grand Elder? What do you want to do?" Shi Hao asked, puzzled.

Qi Shi'an remained calm and said leisurely, "Didn't I say before that one must unite with the Dao? I will go to seek the teachings from the Grand Elder."

Seeking the Dharma? Merging with the Dao through one's own body?

These words struck Shi Hao's heart, and a shocking conjecture arose from the bottom of his mind: Could everything about himself become a seed?

Before leaving, the Second Elder transmitted his voice, instructing the young supreme beings in the academy who possessed three strands of immortal energy not to go into seclusion to fuse their Dao seeds, but to wait for an opportunity.

If the Immortal Academy truly possesses ancient species, the competition will undoubtedly be fierce. To ensure fairness and give everyone a chance, the Second Elder informed those with the greatest potential.

Wang Xi, Lü Tuo, Yao Yue, and the others had been silent and filled with resentment, but upon hearing this message, they were naturally excited and began to await a new opportunity.

In fact, the people from the Immortal Academy arrived even faster than expected, arriving only two days later. Not long after, the people from the Holy Academy also arrived.

The two academies brought their elite disciples to visit the Heavenly God Academy.

However, neither Qi Shi'an nor Shi Hao showed up; the two were visiting the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder's residence was quite ordinary; it was neither a sacred mountain nor a garden area with groves of divine trees, but rather a swamp.

A simple thatched hut, devoid of any grand or mystical aura, just plain and simple.

Around the hut were some muddy ponds, which were not connected to each other and surrounded the place.

The elder, dressed in hemp robes, sat on a large brown rock, holding a bamboo pole, fishing. He looked very relaxed and peaceful.

"Greetings, Elder!" Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao bowed.

"What brings you two here?" the Grand Elder asked.

Qi Shi'an's gaze was resolute as he answered, "I seek the Dharma!"

"Oh? What method do you seek?" The elder's eyes gleamed as he looked up in the direction of the two.

"I want to learn both the methods of this world and the methods of the immortals, so I want to find a method that allows me to cultivate both at the same time!" Shi Hao said solemnly.

"The method I seek is the method of becoming a seed of the Dao!" Qi Shi'an said directly, without any concealment.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao was shocked. He used himself as the seed of the Dao, without relying on external objects. He directly carried the Dao with his body, and his primordial spirit returned to oneness, thus evolving his true self.

But upon closer examination, it seems to have a deeper meaning: the human body is like the universe, and if one can traverse it, perhaps one can truly look down upon it and completely transcend it.

The elder, dressed in hemp robes, watched the two youths before him in silence. He was very old, with white hair flowing in the wind, and exuded an astonishing aura of power despite his calm demeanor.

"Haha, you two are both very insightful and have great courage. Perhaps you can really go far in this field."

The elder's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "This path will be very difficult. No one before us has succeeded. Do you really want to embark on this path?"

"The seeds of the Dao have an end, but the potential of the human body is limitless. I am willing to bear all the Dao with my own body!" Qi Shi'an said solemnly, his eyes resolute.

Shi Hao's gaze was resolute, and he declared domineeringly, "I'm willing too!"

Chapter 274 A good dog doesn't block the way

"Very well! Since you have made this decision, I will certainly pass on the Dharma to you!"

The Grand Elder, dressed in flowing hemp robes, exuding an otherworldly aura, said, "If there is no road, then forge one yourself, surpassing the ancients. Otherwise, how can we defeat those from other lands!"

The wisdom of our predecessors has been accumulated generation after generation, and naturally, the path has been broken. In the later stages of development, various methods have emerged to verify the great Dao of taking oneself as the seed.

The Grand Elder had excavated more than one immortal cave, and the current grandeur of the Heavenly God Academy is due to the accumulation of these resources.

Therefore, he possessed many ancient secret manuals, some of which contained bizarre cultivation methods recorded in jade books, creating extraordinary and unique practices.

The Grand Elder compiled his various experiences and real insights as a seed, and invited the world's top experts to consult with him. He had already made considerable progress.

"Take these books and read them, and learn from each other!" The Grand Elder bestowed a pile of jade books, all written in ancient immortal script.

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao immediately sat down cross-legged and studied the texts carefully. The methods recorded in these texts were not secret arts, but rather various deductions based on the body as a seed, as well as matters that needed to be noted.

"These books are just the beginning. When you truly integrate the Dao Fruit, use your bodies as the seed, and achieve the position of sect leader, there will be special jade scriptures!" the Grand Elder said solemnly.

Breaking through to the Celestial God Realm is not easy, let alone the fact that the two of them want to find a unique path and take an unconventional route. They need to be even more cautious, risking their lives at the cost of their lives!

The elder solemnly warned that when one reaches the very edge of the dead end, some strange, terrifying, and unimaginable things will happen, and everyone's experience will be different.

While the two were engrossed in studying the classics, the outside world was also bustling with activity.

At this moment, the Heavenly God Academy was in an uproar. Some disciples were extremely eager and discussing it. Everyone knew that an opportunity had come.

The elders had already made it clear that the best among them would enter the two academies to further their studies and become disciples of a group of old monsters.

Although Tian Shen Academy is good, it is still somewhat inferior to the two academies.

The Immortal Academy is an expert in ancient immortal techniques, possesses unparalleled classic texts and supreme Dao seeds, and boasts an environment identical to that of the ancient immortal realm, making it the most suitable pure land for cultivating ancient immortal techniques.

The Holy Academy gathers geniuses from all eras. They have reached the pinnacle of the Dharma in this world, yet they can still go a step further, transcend, and create the supreme Dharma.

"We're not too late after all. Those disciples haven't fused with the seed yet, have they?" An old monster from the Immortal Academy smiled as he spoke with an elder from the Heavenly God Academy in a grand hall.

“It’s not too late. The strongest group of people haven’t fused with the Dao Seed yet. They’re waiting for their final opportunity, but…” The Second Elder hesitated for a moment.

"But what?"

"However, the two people who killed the Immortal Academy disciples at the Boundary Tomb that day did not appear," the Second Elder said.

"Not shown? Where did they go?" An old monster from the Immortal Academy frowned, somewhat puzzled.

They saw it clearly that day: the two young men were only in their early twenties, yet they had not only achieved the position of Heavenly God, displaying extraordinary talent, but their combat power was also unparalleled. They could use supreme techniques at will, defeating all the disciples of the Immortal Academy.

It can be said that as long as those two merge with the peerless Dao Seed, they will surely become outstanding figures leading the Immortal Academy, no less than elites like the Little Heavenly King.

"They went to the First Elder's residence, saying they were seeking the Dharma." The Second Elder picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"Seeking the Dharma? The Immortal Academy is the most proficient in ancient immortal techniques. Why wouldn't these two come to the Immortal Academy to seek the Dharma? Why would they go to the Supreme Academy..."

The old monsters from the Immortal Academy seemed to realize something, their expressions changing drastically. One of them, an old monster with white hair gleaming with golden light, asked, "Do those two intend to take that broken path?!"

His true form is a platinum ape, possessing immense strength and excelling in blood energy. Although he is old and frail, his blood energy remains vigorous, exceeding all reason.

"Perhaps so. Those two are defiant and rebellious, single-mindedly pursuing the method of transcendence. They even said that neither the Immortal Academy nor the Holy Academy could provide it, so they decided not to go."

The Second Elder remained calm and took another sip of tea. What he said wasn't entirely wrong; it was true that he wouldn't go. As for the second half of the sentence, "The Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy can't provide it," he made it up himself.

Both academies have a long history and profound cultural heritage, making them enormous entities for the newly established Tianshen Academy.

Therefore, even if the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy are selected to enter the two academies, they will not receive preferential treatment in resources, nor will they be valued.

Furthermore, the two academies not only select most of the geniuses from the Heavenly God Academy, but also take away some resources under the pretext of the general trend.

The two academies' prodigies are top talents selected from various regions, and their overall quality is superior to that of the Heavenly God Academy. Therefore, they will forcibly take away a portion of the resources, which is why he said those words.

As long as those two don't leave the Heavenly God Academy, they will place their bets on them, hoping that they can use the name of the Heavenly God Academy to become invincible!

At this time, the Heavenly God Academy became increasingly lively. All the disciples and apprentices had emerged from seclusion, all wanting to become disciples of the two academies, further enhance their own strength, and obtain the powerful support of the two academies.

"Many elite disciples from both academies have arrived, why haven't they come out yet? Are they still inside the magical artifacts?"

"Hmm, seize the opportunity! Whether we can leap over the dragon gate is right before our eyes!"

A group of people were discussing amongst themselves, all focused on the sky above.

At this time, even Green Tuo, Wang Xi and others emerged from seclusion, and Princess Yaoyue and others flew into the sky to visit the powerful figures of the two academies.

For these aristocratic families and sects, entering the two academies was not unexpected, because they came from the lineage of immortality, and some of their elders had entered before, indicating that they had connections.

Sure enough, celestial music filled the air, and rosy clouds surged forth. The stone star in the sky shone brightly, splitting open a portal and spreading out a road to welcome visitors.

On the other side, the bone gourd artifact of the Holy Academy emitted a divine light and resounded with holy sounds. A passage appeared at the mouth of the gourd, inviting Wang Xi to enter.

Many people know that the Wang family will be forming a marriage alliance with a certain longevity family, and that family has produced an unparalleled genius who is in the Holy Academy. Therefore, it is not surprising that Wang Xi chooses to enter the Holy Academy.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao had carefully read all the classic texts, including the Hammering Bone Technique and the Forging God Technique bestowed by the Grand Elder, and then informed the Grand Elder that they had thoroughly understood them.

"Hmm, very good. You are all ready, both physically and mentally, but some preparations are still needed," the elder said.

"Elder, please speak frankly."

"You need all sorts of rare and precious materials. Failure will save your lives, while success will help you both advance further." The Grand Elder said solemnly.

The rare and precious materials he mentioned were all extraordinary items, none of them ordinary, and all were frighteningly valuable.

Fortunately, the two had previously plundered an ancient site, and nearly half of the rare and precious materials they needed were available.

The Grand Elder was quite surprised to see that the two had taken out a lot of divine medicines. It was unexpected that the two of them could find these things; they were truly remarkable.

“Not bad, not bad. It’s quite impressive that you were able to provide nearly half of what you need. Don’t worry, I’ve prepared all the other essences of heaven and earth. There are only a few missing, which you two will need to gather yourselves,” the elder said.

The Grand Elder didn't keep them in suspense, stating directly that they only needed to pick two kinds of things: the Evil-Repelling Bamboo with more than twenty sections and the Yellow Spring Fruit that had grown in an extremely yin place for more than nine thousand years.

The auspicious bamboo, pure white as jade, grows one segment every five hundred years. Twenty segments make it an old bamboo that is over ten thousand years old. Such bamboo is hard to find even as seedlings, let alone mature ancient bamboo.

The Yellow Spring Fruit is a legendary fruit that many people believe cannot exist, which gives you an idea of ​​how difficult it is to find.

Fortunately, it was rumored that both items were in the same place, so they didn't need to go separately; they only needed to follow the destination indicated by the Grand Elder.

“That place is extraordinary. Your journey there is already the beginning of your preparations for a breakthrough. First, use that strange ancient land to temper your physical body and forge your primordial spirit. Your path will begin from there!” The Grand Elder said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao set off without delay, heading straight out of the Grand Elder's residence and towards that secret realm.

The selection sites of the two academies were their only way to pass through. As soon as the two appeared, two golden roads were laid out, and young powerhouses from the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy stepped out with their magical artifacts to block their path.

"Are you the Desolate Demon Lord?" someone shouted on the golden avenue of the Immortal Academy.

"A good dog doesn't block the way. I have important business to attend to. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way or you're looking for death!" Qi Shi'an's gaze was icy, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"They are truly ignorant of their own limitations, wantonly slaughtering our Immortal Academy cultivators in the Boundary Tomb, and even humiliating Wu Tai and destroying the Little Heavenly King's armor. Their crimes are unforgivable!" shouted a disciple of the Immortal Academy.

"Desolate Lord, Demon Lord, are you the ones who bullied my Holy Academy's envoy, spoke disrespectfully to the Longevity Dao lineage of the Nine Heavens, and even attacked the Wang family's pearl? How dare you!" A Jin family disciple from the Holy Academy shouted, listing his crimes.

On the golden road where the stone stars and bone gourds appeared, many people stood side by side, rebuking Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao.

However, the so-called Little Heavenly King and other extraordinary figures did not appear, remaining within the magical artifacts, perhaps because they were arrogant about their status, or perhaps because they did not care.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat oppressive and tense. The current Desolate Demon Lord was no ordinary person; he had already proven his extraordinary abilities. Yet, there were still people who coldly rebuked him and disregarded him.

The disciples of the Heavenly God Academy knew that, given the temperaments of the two, they would inevitably come to blows. They also wanted to see if the disciples of the two academies could break the undefeated myth of the Desolate Lord and the Demon Lord.

Qi Shi'an's eyes darkened, revealing a barely perceptible killing intent, and he said in a low voice, "So, you're determined to block my path?"

Shi Hao's expression was indifferent, and a sword embryo appeared in his hand, ready to make a move at any moment.

"So what if they are? Being able to defeat an ordinary disciple of my Immortal Academy shows some skill, but compared to us true elites, they are still weak." A man from the Immortal Academy raised his head and looked down.

Qi Shi'an was too lazy to waste words with these people. He turned to look at the old monsters in the two academies and said bluntly, "Are you really not going to do anything? Once I take action, I won't care about any rules of killing each other. This is a crime of obstructing the path, and people will definitely die."

His words were not a threat, but a warning in advance: if you don't speak up now, and someone dies later, and you try to interfere, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Everyone was stunned. Was this a threat to the old monsters of the two academies? They were really bold, but the Demon Lord was not only exceptionally powerful, but also had the support of the Grand Elder.

On the territory of the Heavenly God Academy, no one really could do anything to him.
