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

The Grand Elder looked solemn. These were the only two disciples he had carefully nurtured over the years, and on whom he placed all his hopes.

He failed on that path back then, but in this life he sees hope. These two are very likely to make history and continue the broken path that their predecessors did not finish!

Next, Shi Hao entered a celestial placenta he had obtained in his early years, where he nurtured an unparalleled divine embryo.

boom!

Qi Shi'an activated the Heavenly Power Technique, his primordial spirit sitting cross-legged on the Myriad Dao Tree, emitting a strange light, as if he had merged with the Myriad Dao Tree.

The next moment, Qi Shi'an's physical body continued to shrink, merging with his primordial spirit and the Myriad Dao Tree, refining himself into a spiritual embryo seed, just like the Willow God, transforming into a seed and undergoing Nirvana.

"Next, I will go to the Land of Creation and the Sea of ​​Stars to 'plant seeds' and wait for you to emerge from seclusion!" These were the Grand Elder's last words.

After that, the two could no longer hear anything. They were about to undergo a transcendent transformation and achieve a profound evolution of life!

Shi Hao was buried in the Land of Creation by the Grand Elder, while Qi Shi'an was buried in a treasure land in the Star Sea. No one but the Grand Elder could find it. This treasure land was specially found for him by the Grand Elder.

······

Spring comes and autumn goes, and a year passes in the blink of an eye. The residence of the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy is desolate, overgrown with weeds and vines.

On this day, the Ten-Crown King, after a year of effort, successfully fused with the World Tree sapling and achieved a perfect advancement. Upon emerging from seclusion, a giant tree suddenly burst open the sky, soaring into the heavens, a truly astonishing phenomenon.

The news caused a sensation throughout the world!

On the same day, various extraordinary phenomena appeared within the Immortal Academy: the World Tree reaching for the sky, an ancient universe descending, purple aura coming from the east... These phenomena all signified that a young supreme being had fused with an unparalleled ancient species and was about to emerge and shake the world!

When the various clans of the Nine Heavens learned of this, they were all shocked. The emergence of truly young supreme beings, rising to prominence in the chaotic era, had shaken the hearts of everyone.

People sensed that this was just the beginning, and that more extraordinary young talents would emerge. Perhaps the most powerful ancient species from the previous era would reappear in the world and gather together in this era!

Chapter 285 The Dao Seed is Formed, and the Galaxy Appears

Within the Star Sea, in a secluded place, nothing else can be seen but boundless starlight. Divine rainbows stretch across the sky, a misty aura permeates the air, and the power of the stars ripples, so dense it cannot be dissolved.

Every piece of star debris and every grain of sand here is shrouded in starlight, and one can faintly hear the ancient scriptures being recited by heaven and earth, as if they have come from ancient times across time and space.

The seed that Qi Shi'an transformed into is now buried here, nourished by the power of the stars, to better nurture the divine embryo within.

Qi Shi'an was truly like a seed, planted deep underground, waiting to take root and sprout.

At this moment, this place is not peaceful. The strange seed is being nurtured, emitting a rumbling sound that pulsates in unison with the shattered sun, moon, and stars, perfectly merging into one.

If that sound were to fall into the ears of a cultivator, it would be like the sound of immortals, like the sound of the most ancient scriptures coming from beyond the heavens, deafening and enlightening, allowing one to comprehend the Dao.

Rules and order, both tangible and intangible, intertwine on the seed, forming a cocoon—this is the seed's outer layer at this moment.

Qi Shi'an wandered among the principles of the Dao, enveloped by various rules, and truly saw the essence of heaven and earth, witnessing the most primitive and simple truths of the Dao.

"Use your body as a seed, connect with this world through yourself, and witness all the mysteries!"

Qi Shi'an, who had transformed into a seed, sealed off his six senses, severed all connections with the outside world, and stopped absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Such actions would be a dead end for any cultivator, like severing one's own tendons and giving up all external energy.

But he was about to embark on a completely different path. He was observing the fallen stars in this place, trying to comprehend their power, and using them to ignite a ray of starlight and construct the prototype of a galaxy.

Rumble!

At this moment, the Tree of Myriad Paths erupted, and boundless chaotic energy fell from the sky like a curtain hanging from the heavens. Chains of divine order, like dazzling waterfalls, carried an unparalleled aura and surged into the spiritual embryo's body, becoming its sole source of energy at this moment.

This is the beginning of his transformation. He is not simply copying the myriad runes, but studying them carefully, comparing them with his own inner world, and verifying the two, so as to keep pace with, or even surpass, the great universe.

There sat a small, spirit-shaped figure on the spiritual platform. All around was darkness; there was nothing, not even light. Only endless nothingness and surging chaos remained.

The spirit embryo, seated within, appeared incredibly small, like a speck of dust, as if it could be swallowed up by this desolate darkness at any moment.

"Yuantong, it's time for you to pledge your loyalty!"

Qi Shi'an's spirit suddenly opened its eyes, sharp as a celestial sword.

The next moment, a demonic corpse appeared in this dark space. It was Yuan Tong of the Yuan Clan, one of the three thousand prodigies of the Three Thousand Provinces whom he had killed back then!

This person was born with a divine map of stars hidden within their primordial spirit. It was a natural gift bestowed by heaven and earth, possessing the purest power of the stars.

Qi Shi'an showed no mercy, forming hand seals and unleashing his magic. A wisp of demonic light entered Yuan Tong's body, penetrating deep inside, intending to peel away and refine the Star God Map.

At the same time, a dazzling Star Dao Fruit appeared, crystal clear, containing the rules of the Star Dao.

At this moment, he will use this opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao, condense the seed that is his body, and use it as a medium to gather endless stars, creating a ray of starlight from nothing into his inner world.

The human body is like dust, insignificant, but once the "divine treasure" within is unlocked, it becomes boundless, vast, and invincible!

The premise is that it can be fully opened, and opened endlessly!

boom!

The demonic corpse Yuan Tong's body exploded, and a vast divine map of stars unfolded in the darkness. The sun and moon revolved, and the great stars shone brightly. This was a Dao diagram containing the ultimate principles of the universe's celestial movement.

In an instant, the Starry Dao Fruit floated above the spiritual embryo's head, and the Dao principles nurtured by the fruit poured into the crown of the head, flowing through the meridians and blood.

Immediately afterwards, the vast and boundless divine map of stars began to twist and rotate, eventually transforming into runes that condensed the mysteries of countless stars, which were then imprinted onto the spirit embryo.

"snort·····"

The spirit fetus's face was contorted in a groan, and a muffled groan echoed for a long time in the silent darkness.

This was within the Sea of ​​Stars, where he used the Star God Diagram and the Star Dao Fruit to create a wisp of starlight within his body.

One meridian after another was opened, and the acupoints within the human body were illuminated, frantically devouring the chaotic energy and absorbing the primordial Dao principles brought by the divine diagram and Dao fruit.

To stand alongside the great universe, one must not merely imitate; only a true flash of inspiration, possessing one's own path and methods, and unlocking the divine treasures within one's own body will have meaning.

But this is a very difficult measure; opening the human body's divine potential is inherently a defying-the-nature act!

At this moment, countless rays of starlight converged from all directions, forming a field that revolved around the seed.

In an instant, his spiritual embryo glowed, and the runes formed from the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture earlier were imprinted on it, as if he were wearing a layer of armor, and now it resonated with it.

boom!

The next moment, the endless chains of the rules of the heavens poured down, as brilliant as a divine rainbow and as dazzling as a divine sword, merging with the spiritual embryo and drilling into the runes of the Great Nurturing Heavenly Demon Scripture.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an's spiritual embryo was entangled by endless chains of divine order, as if it were bound here, transforming into an immortal monument, motionless, coiled on the spiritual platform, allowing the rules of the Great Dao to baptize it.

The chains of order are beautiful, stretching out in the darkness like the tail feathers of a phoenix, radiant with divine light, so dazzling that it's blinding.

Qi Shi'an reached out and touched those rules and order, trying to sense them with his heart and truly introduce them into his body to verify his own path.

One after another, the chains of divine order transformed into Dao particles between his fingers, like miniature stars, their light flickering and shifting, distributed throughout his body.

Qi Shi'an was deeply shaken. He drew various Daoist particles into his body, allowing them to take shape. He truly touched the essence of this great world, observing and verifying each other at such close range.

In the darkness, no one knew how much time had passed—perhaps a moment, perhaps billions of years.

In this chaotic void, time loses its meaning, and the years vanish into nothingness.

Qi Shi'an's consciousness rose and fell several times in this long darkness, almost being swallowed by nothingness several times, but was repeatedly pulled back by that faint sense that had not yet been extinguished.

This feeling is like a drowning person struggling desperately in the depths of a boundless ocean, unable to see the light or grasp the shore, supported only by an undying will.

boom!

In a daze, Qi Shi'an felt a ray of starlight gathering within his body, evolving brilliantly with various divine chains and resonating with the rules.

He repeatedly experienced and evolved, personally constructing rules and creating a universe.

Qi Shi'an's blood flowed, resonating with these rules, spreading to his limbs and bones. This was an extension of the Dao, a fragment of the Dao, throbbing and resonating.

His bones clattered and rattled; they were the framework of the Great Dao within his body, forming the main body of his being.

His flesh and blood were also rustling and pulsating, like endless leaves rustling and swaying together. That was the form of the Tao, slowly making up for all deficiencies and making it perfect.

And it was in this scene that the starlight was gradually conceived and amplified, eventually quietly lighting up on the spiritual platform, surging up to the top of the spiritual embryo, and forming a seed.

The light emitted by this seed was faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be swallowed by chaos at any moment. Yet it was also so pure and bright, like the first ray of dawn at the beginning of time, illuminating eternity!

"Take your body as the universe, and the inner self is the Dao!"

Qi Shi'an's inner world trembled violently. His spiritual embryo sat atop his spiritual platform, and the seed above his head shone brilliantly, absorbing the power of endless stars and evolving into a vast galaxy around him.

This is the second divine treasure in the true sense within the ancestral court's Dao realm system, the foundation for achieving Dao within!

boom!

In an instant, more acupoints were lit up, bursting forth with starlight. They meandered and converged in the void, then collided, evolving from the seed into a nascent galaxy, manifesting the scene of Xuandu.

Qi Shi'an unlocked the divine treasures within his physical body, as if opening a gate to immortality. The human body may contain many divine treasures, and now he has successfully opened up a galaxy, standing at the second realm of the Ancestral Court Dao Realm system, achieving the Inner Dao.

Those acupoints that were illuminated were like dormant stars hidden within the human body, now awakened, accompanied by the roar of the Great Dao, as a surge of immense divine energy entered the body.

Each acupoint corresponds to a major star in the celestial sphere, reflecting the stars in the universe. The starlight emanating from the acupoints intertwines, forming a dazzling galaxy around the spiritual embryo.

Although the galaxy was only in its nascent stage, it already exuded an extraordinary aura. As it flowed, images of the sun and moon revolving and stars changing appeared, as if a miniature universe was slowly operating within it.

Rumble!

The next instant, the entire Star Sea resonated with it, and the ancient chanting throughout the world suddenly rose in pitch, as if in celebration.

The starlight from billions of miles of the Star Sea converged on the Spirit Embryo, transforming into a massive pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth, enveloping the Spirit Embryo within it.

The pillar of starlight pierced through the sky, causing countless stellar remains to tremble. The earth cracked open, and the stellar essence deep within the earth's veins was drawn in, surging towards the spiritual embryo along the cracks.

Finally, the spiritual embryo glowed, its form slowly expanded, and a physical body condensed. The seed merged with the physical body, suspended in the deepest part of the body, radiating clear light, evolving into cosmic stars, and becoming one with the physical body and spirit, inseparable from each other.

Using one's own body as a seed means to unlock the divine treasure within oneself and release one's own Dao.

Qi Shi'an used the seed as a key, which transformed into a singularity explosion, evolving into an endless galaxy. He successfully opened up the Star River Divine Treasury, taking the most solid step.

The seed within him resonated with the boundless starlight of the Star Sea, creating a communion between heaven and man.

Although still immature, having only condensed the five elements into a great star, it already exudes an unparalleled aura that stands shoulder to shoulder with heaven and earth, and even surpasses the Great Dao.

Qi Shi'an was neither happy nor sad. He wanted to comprehend this seed and experience the surging power brought by the Star River Divine Treasury. He had a feeling that he could pluck stars and grasp the moon with a wave of his hand.

Without a doubt, having succeeded in using his own body as a seed, the Star River Divine Treasury was also opened up. Now, the precious techniques and heavenly skills he casually uses are different from those, and their power will be even more astonishing.

However, he was still somewhat uneasy, because the transformation of his spiritual embryo within the Immortal Hill had drawn divine punishment.

Chi!

Just then, as if the heavens were moved, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, intending to annihilate his body and spirit.

Chapter 286 Heavenly Punishment

The moment the punishment from heaven and earth descended, the starry sea within a radius of tens of thousands of miles trembled.

The boundless starlight, originally sacred and peaceful, now surged violently like boiling water, and streaks of divine rainbows were torn apart by an invisible force, scattering into a rain of light that filled the sky.

Qi Shi'an opened his mouth and roared, unleashing a burst of divine light. It was emitted from the seed within his body, condensing into a Five Elements Divine Sword, which rang out with a clang and collided with the lightning, sparks flying.

Using himself as a seed, the Star River God Treasury created by the seed possesses supreme power. Although it has only condensed the stars of the Five Elements Origin and many Great Dao stars have not yet taken shape, the Five Elements Sword Light is still sharp and can easily kill gods.

boom!

Heaven and earth clashed, unleashing a deafening roar. The Five Elements Sword Light was incomparably sharp, shattering the lightning. Countless arcs of electricity flew out, piercing through the void and melting the heavens.

But this was only the beginning. Deep within the heavens, even more terrifying phenomena emerged, with countless bolts of lightning condensing into endless divine weapons: divine bells, pagodas, heavenly blades, battle spears... all formed from the rules of heaven and earth, any one of which could obliterate a powerful figure at the level of a sect leader.

"Heaven and Earth will punish you!"

Qi Shi'an looked solemn. He understood that this was what he needed to face in order to continue the broken path and open up his own way, which was also the reason for his unease.

when!

Dozens of divine bells of order tolled in unison, their melodious sounds never ceasing. The sound waves materialized, rippling outwards and enveloping him from all directions, threatening to shatter him.

This is terrifying; it could wipe out entire swathes of gods and demons, destroy everything, and is unstoppable.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, one after another divine towers rumbled and roared, like ancient divine mountains, vast and mighty, causing the void to collapse and the heavens and earth to wail.

This is an unprecedented calamity, extremely terrifying, even more serious than the crisis Qi Shi'an had previously encountered; it is meant to annihilate him!

Others who find the perfect seed and merge with themselves are recognized and protected, because they are upholding the will of heaven and earth and wielding the power of the universe.

The path of using one's own body as a seed is completely different. It involves gradually strengthening oneself, keeping pace with the great universe, and even traversing all the myriad paths of heaven to prove one's own path and completely transcend. This has violated the will of heaven, so it has always failed and will be ruthlessly destroyed by the heavens.

Rumble!

The divine weapons were so numerous and densely packed that they blotted out the sky, striking Qi Shi'an's body. He had no way to dodge or push them away; he could only endure them.

Even with Qi Shi'an's immense power, he was instantly blasted to pieces, his crimson divine blood splattering across the void in a tragic and beautiful sight.

The only saving grace was that his strength had already surged, and he no longer needed to suppress it. He broke through to the Heavenly God Realm, stood tall in the Void Dao Domain, and became a powerful being at the level of a sect leader.

This is a life-or-death battle, the wrath of the heavens. Every bolt of lightning that falls surpasses the realm of a sect leader at the pinnacle, reaching an even higher level, completely suppressing and invincible, determined to annihilate the defiant.
