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

The crowd fell silent. Had they realized they were going to die before even engaging in battle? If they knew this, why were they still so determined to go to the frontier?

Qi Shi'an smiled slightly: "You little fatso, you're tough as nails, you won't die so easily."

"How do you know? My master said the same thing, that I will live on and on until I become an immortal." Cao Yusheng chuckled.

"I want to go to the frontier too!"

The Moon Jade Rabbit is very stubborn; it wants to go to the Divine Medicine Mountain Range in the remote wilderness to seek opportunities, even if it means its demise.

“Although monks and Buddhas are compassionate, they can also subdue magic.” Dasuta stood up firmly.

"My path lies in the frontier!"

The ten-time champion strutted with the imposing presence of a dragon, his body coiled around a massive dragon amidst chaos, like a celestial emperor on a journey, exuding an aura of invincibility that seemed to swallow mountains and rivers.

······

One after another, people stepped forward, fearless of death and with unwavering faith, determined to go to the frontier to fight.

Jin Zhan from the Holy Academy made a move, and some others followed him, along with Wang Xi. They were all going to the borderlands, forming a group that drew everyone's attention.

Subsequently, many others, including the Little Heavenly King of the Immortal Academy and Yu Wudi, also embarked on their journey.

Shi Hao led Huo Ling'er and Qing Yi forward and stood with Cao Yusheng, Little Rabbit, and others. Not far away, Yue Chan, Chang Gongyan, and others also moved and followed, heading to the borderlands.

"Oh my, quite a few people are going to the borderlands this time." Qi Shi'an chuckled, leading the Dragon Girl and the Witch, strolling leisurely out, looking very relaxed.

There were quite a few people who wanted to go to the borderlands this time. They were among the strongest talents in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. They were not deterred by the hardships and death ahead. They all wanted to hone themselves before the darkest age arrived and rise to prominence first.

"The remaining people should not make a decision yet; we can leave it for the next time."

On the cliff face, an old man told them that there were already more than a hundred powerful individuals, and that there could not be any more.

Because this trip is risky, if all the young geniuses of the Nine Heavens were to go, and an accident occurred, resulting in a total annihilation, it would be unimaginable.

Come back here in a year!

The old men on the cliff made a compromise decision: this time they would only select a little over a hundred cultivators.

Others can return to this place a year later as part of the second batch of candidates to go to the frontier.

boom!

In the ancient land, a black altar was glowing. The chosen one followed several elders up to it, where many patterns shone with various symbols of the Great Dao.

"Let's march to the frontier!"

Beams of light shot out one after another, like the sky splitting open. The void in this place collapsed, forming a huge passage leading to a mysterious and unknown place.

The next moment, they all disappeared, leaving the Boundless Heaven in the blink of an eye.

A primeval forest, vast and boundless, mostly silent except for the occasional, brief, and urgent howls of vengeful spirits.

Chi!

A group of figures suddenly landed in this wild and ancient forest; the frontier had arrived!

This is a mysterious place beyond three thousand states, and no one dares to enter it under normal circumstances.

"Aww..."

A piercing howl suddenly rang in everyone's ears. In the distance, a human skin floated by, its feet not touching the ground, covered in blood.

What is this?

Some young geniuses were taken aback and involuntarily stepped back.

"Shoot!"

The old leader shouted, and his palm glowed, revealing a bronze mirror that emitted the most dazzling solar fire essence, its yang energy at its peak.

The human skin trembled, shaking unsteadily like an old man walking, and drifted towards the distant mountains, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"The battles of the past have left behind too many things. What we just saw was the remnant of a supreme being's divine skin, his obsession still unresolved," an old man explained.

This vast, uninhabited area is fraught with misfortune; if one wanders into it recklessly, one is likely to die.

"stop!"

Just then, an old man shouted, for ahead lay a crimson swamp, from which billowing clouds of mist rose, emanating a chilling aura.

"A half-step True Immortal has fallen, his blood staining the swamp, where he will live for eternity. If you were to step into it, you would be instantly turned into rotten mud!"

Upon hearing this explanation, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and their skin crawled with goosebumps. If they rushed in without understanding the situation, wouldn't they just die instantly?

Half-step True Immortal—that's the realm of the strongest beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even such powerful beings could perish so decisively; the Borderlands are indeed terrifying.

“We’ll take an ancient path, otherwise it could be extremely dangerous,” the old leader said.

"Elder, why didn't you appear directly at the Imperial Pass? Is there a problem with the teleportation array?" someone asked, puzzled.

"I just wanted to let you experience how terrifying this vast no-man's-land is. One wrong move and even the strongest person could perish."

This was done intentionally, with the aim of letting everyone feel what the frontier is really like, because no matter how much you talk about it, it's not as good as experiencing it firsthand.

"Moreover, this area is not the most dangerous place, because it is located on the side guarded by the Imperial City and belongs to our territory. Once you leave the Imperial Pass, the uninhabited area there is truly terrifying," the old man explained.

Everyone understood the elder's meaning. If the no-man's-land on their side was already so terrifying within the pass, the danger would be unimaginable once they left the pass and entered the area outside the imperial city.

Once we got onto that ancient road, it was indeed much safer. Although there were some unexpected events, we escaped unharmed.

"We've arrived!" said the old-fashioned leader.

Even from a great distance, a grand and desolate atmosphere immediately assaults the senses. At the horizon, everything is shrouded in a gray haze, stretching to the sky and filling all the space, both above and below ground.

People were stunned. After focusing their attention and observing carefully, they all showed shock. The vast gray expanse was boundless and seemed to be a city.

This city soars into the outer reaches of the universe, vast and boundless, reaching the sky. It doesn't seem like a city, but rather like an ancient universe.

Everyone could only look up and gaze upwards, deeply feeling their own insignificance; before this imperial city, they were like a speck of dust.

Upon approaching, the massive wall towered high beyond the realm, its end difficult to see even with the use of the Heavenly Eye.

"Why build it so tall?" someone asked.

"To suppress this realm, it is engraved with supreme immortal symbols, with countless arrays of magic formations, representing the hard work of countless sages," the old leader explained.

The city was truly enormous, exceeding the boundaries of a city. Upon closer inspection, what one saw was a scene of creation, with chaotic mist swirling around the colossal city.

In addition, there are stars orbiting around the city, and even galaxies entwining it.

"Let's go into town!"

Several elderly people each took out a piece of bone, pieced them together to form a mysterious small altar of white bones, and then activated it together.

hum!

The next moment, the small altar of white bones glowed, enveloping everyone and disappearing into the imperial city.

The ancient land was shrouded in darkness, with ribbons of black mist, skeletons scattered everywhere, and broken star remains. This was the scene that everyone saw. With each step, many bones turned into white bone dust.

"This is the inside of the city?" Everyone was surprised; it was completely different from what they had imagined.

"This is just the outer city; there is also an inner city," an old man pointed ahead.

This time, several elders took out different golden bone fragments, pieced them together, and formed a round altar key to open the passage into the inner city.

boom!

They finally entered the Imperial Pass. As soon as they appeared, many powerful divine senses instantly probed towards them, like the oppressive force of a terrifying demon king, making people's hearts tremble.

These are powerful figures from within the Imperial Pass!

This place still lacks vitality. Some huge celestial bodies lie on the ground, and some cultivators sit cross-legged on them, silent and covered in dust, having been in seclusion for who knows how many years.

Some people even have grass growing on their bodies, their life force is weak, this is a death trap.

"It's still not what I imagined," Princess Yaoyue sighed softly.

The young cultivators who had just entered the imperial city were all looking around at the scene in the inner city, carefully searching for something.

"This is just a small part of the area. The inner city is vast and enormous. You'll get to know it gradually," said the old man leading the group.

The people I saw were half-dead; they hadn't moved for many years because they were responsible for guarding this section of the city wall.

"Let's go, to the heart of the inner city!"

The old man leading the way revealed a golden road beneath their feet, and they set off together with hundreds of young cultivators.

The golden light spread out at an extremely fast speed, capable of traversing star fields, but it took a long time to reach the inner city, demonstrating just how enormous the city was.

On their journey, the group encountered wondrous beasts extinct in the outside world. Besides these, they also witnessed supreme beings cultivating their powers—one who could shoot an arrow pierce a star, another who carried the sun on his back…

At that moment, a group of young people stared in disbelief, their faces filled with awe.

After a long time, they approached the center of the inner city, but did not go there, because it was a forbidden area that ordinary creatures could not set foot in.

"Hehe, welcome fellow Daoists. So these are the outstanding talents of the new generation? Indeed, each and every one of you is a dragon among men, a person of extraordinary talent."

In the distance, several humanoid beings of indeterminate age approached, but they also bore the characteristics of other races, such as horns and divine wings.

Several elderly people went over to greet them, and both sides were very polite. Then they led the group into a sacred area.

Here, the air is filled with rosy mist, buildings stand in clusters, silver waterfalls cascade down the sacred mountain, and cranes circle in the sky, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

"Wow, that crane is quite plump, can we eat it?"

Qi Shi'an's eyes lit up. He hadn't had a delicious meal in quite some time; the last time was on the frontier of Da Chi Tian.

"And the Devouring Beast from earlier, it's extinct in the outside world, otherwise it would have been on my dinner table long ago." Shi Hao also wiped his drool.

"..."

Everyone was speechless. How could they have started eyeing these strange beasts and divine birds so soon after arriving? It seems their nature is hard to change.

"Haha... These are all raised by the powerful figures of the Imperial Pass. Even if you wanted to eat them, you probably couldn't beat them." A middle-aged man laughed loudly, completely taking the two boys' words as a joke.

"Winning means you get to eat, that's my specialty." Qi Shi'an chuckled.

Several team leaders shook their heads with wry smiles and led the group straight to a bronze palace. It was very grand, a thousand feet high, with a large bell hanging in the center.

when!

With a single bell tolling, the divine sound resounded throughout heaven and earth, traveling for countless miles.

“No, these are just juniors, how can they use this bell?” an elderly, extraordinary man hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. I'll only make one sound to inform all the races to come and welcome their future prodigies, and give them a grand gift," a middle-aged man with silver wings on his back said with a smile.

Soon, the place became incredibly lively. One after another, streaks of light appeared, piercing the sky, and some people even opened spatial gates directly in the city and stepped out.

Chapter 338 Fearless

"Haha, my clan's Xi'er has arrived. I've heard you were coming here for a long time, but I never expected it to happen today."

Behind a portal, a middle-aged man with cascading silver hair walked out towards Wang Xi, laughing loudly, his voice so powerful it seemed to distort the sky.

This is Wang Changhe, the eldest grandson of Wang Da. He holds a very high position in the Wang family and is also a super expert with profound strength, looking down on all directions!

"Ancestor, what brings you here?"

Wang Xi hurriedly paid her respects. Although she was a descendant of Wang Jiu, she still had to perform a grand ceremony when meeting this family member of such high seniority.

“Naturally, we’re here to welcome our clan’s most beloved daughter. You see, isn’t that how it is with all the other clans? They all have powerful members of their own clans coming to welcome her,” Wang Changhe said with a smile.

Then, Wang Changhe looked at Jin Zhan and said, "As expected of the Jin family's immortal unicorn, with immortal talent and noble bearing, you are destined to be invincible and suppress all your opponents. We can rest assured that we are entrusting Xi'er to you."

"Senior, you flatter me. I am unworthy of such praise." Jin Zhan smiled and stepped forward to pay his respects.

"That's certainly an exaggeration. They can't even compare to one of my fingers, yet they dare to call themselves invincible?" Qi Shi'an sneered. He had always disliked the Wang and Jin families and would always seek revenge when they were in trouble.

Wang Changhe glanced at him coldly, a glint of cold light flashing deep in his eyes. "A mere ant dares to be so insolent in front of me!"

"What, you're not convinced? My first goal in coming here was to inspect the Wang family. If you dare to disobey the decree, your Wang family can expect to suffer the same fate as the Feng clan."

A cold glint flashed in Qi Shi'an's eyes, his imposing manner undiminished, as he retorted, "Are all 300,000 elite troops of the Wang family present? Those five worms, come out and pay your respects at once, to be inspected by this Demon Lord! If even one person is missing, the 300,000 elite troops can just wait to be refined by me!"

"How dare you be so arrogant!" Wang Changhe was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

The other lineages received their descendants, but they were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they stayed to watch and see what would happen.

Some time ago, the Grand Elder personally went to the Imperial Pass and, together with several supreme experts, killed all the members of the Wind Clan. The Wind Clan's number one member, the Wind Ancestor, was even beheaded by the Grand Elder with a single sword strike.

Only afterwards did they learn about the Wind Clan's betrayal, and they also learned about some interesting events that happened in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

They knew quite a bit about the black-robed youth before them and his grudges with the Changsheng family, and they found it quite interesting.

boom!
