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

"Open the Star River Divine Treasury!"

Qi Shi'an roared, his body bursting forth with boundless light. A vast starry river appeared, with the black sun and blood moon rotating, and the five elements stars rising and falling, as dazzling and radiant as the sun, illuminating this land.

The galaxy was vast and boundless, with countless Daoist particles floating within it, not yet truly condensed, but already taking initial shape.

This is the Star River Divine Treasury that he created. Each star corresponds to a Great Dao rule. When all the stars are successfully condensed, it is considered a success, and one enters the realm of perfection.

Rumble!

The might of the heavens was overwhelming, obscuring the sun and moon. Streams of lightning surged down, carrying immense destructive power, intent on utterly obliterating him.

Qi Shi'an's body cracked, blood splattered, and when he fell into the void, he actually smashed through space, leaving behind large holes.

But even more destructive power surged into his body, threatening to destroy his life force and obliterate his primordial spirit.

"You want to destroy me? Not so easy!"

Qi Shi'an roared, enduring the excruciating pain of being shattered to pieces, and mobilized the power of the Star River Divine Treasury. The condensed stars burst forth with vast divine power, surging into his limbs and bones.

He swung his fists, unleashing the Heavenly Power Technique, facing the heavens to confront the divine punishment. Terrifying power swept across the sky and the earth, completely shattering the void and causing chaotic energy to surge.

Qi Shi'an stood amidst the chaos, his flesh and blood constantly splattering and healing.

This is the cruelest ordeal, where every moment is a life-or-death experience. If one's will falters even slightly, one will surely suffer calamity and be reduced to ashes in the punishment of heaven and earth.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered, the flame in his eyes burning ever brighter. He believed that new life was born from the great destruction, and that there was also an opportunity for creation within the power of destruction!

Qi Shi'an, inspired by a sudden inspiration, unleashed the Thunder Emperor Technique and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art, guiding a portion of the Heavenly Punishment into his body—a truly insane act.

But under his careful guidance, the Heavenly Punishment surged into the Star River Divine Treasury, and the vast star river surrounding the spiritual embryo formed a cycle, as if it were originally one, and began to absorb and transform it little by little!

The ultimate destruction is creation, and the end of destruction is rebirth.

The destructive power he refined transformed into the purest primordial energy, surging into those Dao particles and accelerating their condensation.

One star after another was lit up and then condensed into a form. At this moment, Qi Shi'an's aura began to surge, and his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After an unknown amount of time, the punishment from heaven and earth grew impatient with him and dissipated on its own.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an was hacked to pieces, his flesh and bones broken, yet he exuded a vibrant life force.

His body regenerated, his primordial spirit became radiant, and a seed merged with his flesh and blood and primordial spirit. A vast galaxy revolved around his spiritual embryo within his body, dazzling and brilliant.

He survived and endured the punishment of heaven and earth!

"what······"

Qi Shi'an couldn't help but let out a long roar, feeling utterly relieved. Having endured the heavenly punishment, his strength had undergone a qualitative leap, and his cultivation had stabilized at the mid-stage of the Void Dao Realm.

He didn't know how long he had been in seclusion, or what was happening in the outside world. Perhaps other geniuses had already risen to prominence, and it was time for him to emerge from seclusion.

Qi Shi'an soared into the sky, tearing through layers of magic arrays, and arrived in the outside world.

"Elder!"

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared before him, which shocked Qi Shi'an.

"You little devil...you...succeeded too?!"

The usually composed elder, who wouldn't even blink if a mountain collapsed before his eyes, was now like a ghost, arriving in an instant and grabbing Qi Shi'an's arm.

"Also?" Upon hearing this word, Qi Shi'an realized that Shi Hao had emerged from seclusion and successfully used his body as a seed.

"Yes, I succeeded!" Qi Shi'an beamed as he shared the news with the Grand Elder.

"Great! Great! Two successful people have emerged in this generation. It's truly a blessing from heaven!"

The elder laughed loudly, his voice shaking the heavens and earth as if they were about to collapse, causing rocks to fall from some of the mountains surrounding the Star Sea.

Back then, he was a prodigy, but in order to take this path, he was crippled and almost died. If it weren't for some great opportunities later on, he would have perished long ago.

"You should return to the academy first and not linger outside. I am now just a divine consciousness imprint. If something happens to you, it will be a great loss to the Nine Heavens." The Grand Elder said solemnly.

"understand!"

Qi Shi'an soared into the sky, heading towards the Heavenly God Academy.

In the outside world, two and a half years have passed. He learned from the Grand Elder that Shi Hao had emerged from seclusion for nearly ten days and was comprehending the Great Dao within the academy.

Now, the Holy Academy and the Immortal Academy are thriving, producing many extraordinary figures and reaching their zenith. However, the two academies are not satisfied and are considering merging to promote exchanges among their disciples in order to cope with the great calamity.

At that time, the ancestral roots of the mountains beneath the Three Academies will be uprooted and moved to another location, and even the immortal caves beneath the academies will be moved along with them.

At that time, the essence of heaven and earth will be so rich that it will be impossible to disperse, and this place will become the most amazing cultivation holy land in the nine heavens.

Qi Shi'an rode the wind, traversing the vast ocean, crossing the boundless sea of ​​stars, and passing through the lush, verdant mountains.

The Boundless Heaven is renowned among the nine heavens; it is extremely vast and boundless.

Ahead, the crimson peaks, like glistening coral in the sea, were translucent and strange, clearly a sacred land.

The mountain is translucent, almost transparent, yet many spiritual plants still grow there, and numerous medicinal herbs also grow in the crevices of the mountain.

Moreover, wisps of smoke rose up, tinged with a pale red, making the place seem like a fairyland. In addition, the mountains were very magnificent, attracting people's attention.

Qi Shi'an didn't linger and rushed back to the Heavenly God Academy as quickly as possible. As soon as he stepped into the academy, he found it to be unusually lively, with many people who had come from the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy.

The place was bustling with noise, with many people whispering and discussing who among the most powerful individuals could become the supreme figures of the younger generation.

"Could it be that the underground cave has been opened?"

Qi Shi'an's heart stirred slightly. He knew that there was a celestial cave that had never been opened beneath the Heavenly God Academy, hence his doubts.

"Alas, what a pity! This is the ancient cave dwelling of my Heavenly God Academy, yet we have no geniuses who can compete with those two academies. In the end, it's all for naught. It's truly unfortunate!"

"Who told us to be inferior? Who can stop those peerless geniuses? Just one person is enough to sweep away all the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy today."

The Heavenly God Academy is now suffering from a severe shortage of talent. The truly outstanding individuals have all been selected by the two academies, and the remaining people have become relatively ordinary.

Even if the ancient cave is opened, the first to enter will definitely be the young supreme beings of the two academies. By the time the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy leave, there will probably be nothing left.

"Hehe, isn't this the fellow Daoist from the Wild Bull Clan? Oh, and the junior brother from the Golden Elephant Clan too. Seeing you all wallowing in self-pity is truly pitiful."

Not far away, a young man walked over with a faint smile, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, which was very radiant, but made the people who were actually discussing it feel a little uncomfortable.

"People from the Immortal Academy?"

The young man from the Mangniu tribe was very tall and sturdy, with thick purple hair and two huge horns pointing skyward on his head.

The young man from the Immortal Academy smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a problem for you to enter the Immortal's Cave. You can follow us inside."

"The immortal abode is a nice place, but when did it become the turn of a bunch of good-for-nothing dogs to divide it up?" A voice came from the crowd.

"How dare you insult the Immortal Academy! Who are you? Show yourself at once!"

The young people from the Immortal Academy instantly became furious and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked; once I did, I was almost scared to death.

A young man in black robes slowly emerged from the crowd. He had a handsome and refined face, and his blood-red eyes were sharp and incomparably fierce. He exuded an aura that was both holy and demonic.

"It's you!"

The young man from the Immortal Academy gritted his teeth, involuntarily taking a half-step back, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Chapter 287 Snatching Food from a Tiger's Mouth

"It's the Demon Lord! He's actually emerged from seclusion!"

"My God, weren't they saying he was already dead?"

Everyone was taken aback. They hadn't heard this name in a long time; nearly three years had passed, which was neither a long nor a short time.

However, in this era of great change and the emergence of outstanding individuals, the strong are easily forgotten.

In particular, Huang and the Demon Lord, who cultivated ancient immortal techniques but had no Dao seed, had been missing for nearly three years. Everyone thought they had disappeared and would never appear again, because their fate was predictable.

Unexpectedly, we are witnessing the true form of the Demon Lord today. Could it be that he has already merged with the Dao Seed? This is the doubt in everyone's mind.

"How many people from the two academies have come to the academy now?" Qi Shi'an asked.

"What...what do you want to do?"

The young man from the Immortal Academy looked solemn and full of apprehension. Thinking of this person's past, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Qi Shi'an remained calm and said softly, "What else can I do? I'm just figuring out which family to plunder. The forces of the Nine Heavens are my main targets, especially those longevity families."

Everyone was taken aback. The Demon Lord remained as confident as ever, which puzzled many people. Could it be that he had really obtained a perfect seed?

Otherwise, how could they dare to provoke the Nine Heavens forces like this?

Many people have come to the academy now, including the most powerful geniuses from both academies, all of whom are outstanding talents who have risen to prominence in the past three years.

The young man from the Immortal Academy secretly activated his divine eye, only to find that he couldn't see through this person's cultivation level, which made him tremble.

It should be noted that he also fused with the Dao Seed. Although he could not compare with the true talents of the Immortal Academy, he was still a rare seed.

However, he could not see through the black-robed youth in front of him at this moment, which undoubtedly proved that this person had entered the Void Dao Realm, become a sect leader-level existence, and most likely obtained a special seed.

Because he saw a faint aura surrounding this person, which was very special, like a seed that had never appeared before.

And so, everyone held their breath, and the scene became tense.

"boom!"

Just then, a deafening roar came from afar, shaking the heavens and earth and startling everyone.

"What's going on?" someone asked, puzzled.

Qi Shi'an frowned and looked toward the source of the sound, where the Grand Elder was fishing. At that moment, a purple light soared into the sky, pure and holy, as if a treasure had been born.

He leaped up, his figure blurred, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye, heading towards the muddy pond.

A group of people rushed over. Some were closer and arrived early. Then everyone turned their heads and started moving as they sensed a strong aura of immortality emanating from the ground.

Everyone knows that there is a celestial abode beneath the Heavenly God Academy, which has never been opened. At this moment, how can people not have many thoughts?

"That's... a muddy swamp!"

Some exclaimed that this was the Grand Elder's favorite fishing spot, and many had long speculated that the entrance to the Immortal Abode was probably there. Now, the muddy pond was emitting an ethereal light, causing a sensation.

boom!

At the edge of the sky, crimson clouds surged, carrying golden rainbows as they swept in.

There appeared a golden alms bowl, pressing down to cover the muddy pond.

"It is Mahasthamaprapta!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "The person who obtained the relics of the ancient monk has appeared! He is said to be destined to achieve an immortal body and will become a celestial monk!"

That alms bowl is the embodiment of the ancient monks' lineage. It was created by Mahāsthāpa using his magical powers and can hold the sun, moon, and stars. Now, it is to be used to remove the muddy pond.

Boo!

A flash of blue light appeared, and a misty haze fell, tinged with a faint blue glow, making it look both serene and mysterious.

A fairy in blue appeared, with a very tall figure and long legs. Her blue dress fluttered, unable to conceal her stunning curves.

This was a woman, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, with snow-white and translucent skin, as beautiful as jade, who flew out of the smoke and dust.

If you look closely, you can see that her pupils are also blue, and her long hair is as shiny and smooth as blue water. As she walks gracefully, her blue hair ripples with a crystal-clear luster.

At this moment, she gently unfurled her wide sleeves, shaking the alms bowl aside. She stood there, her proud, curvaceous body undulating with astonishing charm.

"Princess Lan Xian of the Lan Clan, a family of immortals, has also arrived!"

Everyone was shocked. They had long heard that Lan Xian had fused with a Heavenly Seed, which was as blue as a diamond and was known as a Dao Seed left by the heavens for their offspring, comparable to the Primordial Purple Qi Seed.

No one expected that the moment the aura of immortality appeared in the muddy pond, the two most famous prodigies of the younger generation would make their move and confront each other head-on.

call!

Just then, a Taoist priest in a gray robe appeared, standing in the muddy pond. A strong wind blew, sand and stones flew, and many ancient trees were uprooted.

This is not something done intentionally, but rather a natural flow of energy, like the wind of heaven, keeping oneself pure and untouched by worldly dust. Some call it the "immortal wind," a manifestation of profound spiritual cultivation.

"Qi Gu!" People were astonished as the young supreme being of the Holy Academy appeared.

This is a person who has undergone several rebirths, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, breaking through the limits of the Dharma realm in this world several times, terrifying to the extreme.

"Such a lively event, I'd like to join in!"

Purple light mist appeared in the sky, spreading a peaceful aura and enveloping the surrounding area.

Auspicious purple clouds are coming from the east!

This is an auspicious aura of immeasurable value, stretching for thousands of miles.
