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

As expected, being a direct descendant of the Human King, he was born with ancestral blood and his talent was not much weaker, especially in the cultivation of the Human King Scripture, where he made rapid progress.

Unfortunately, he only has one-third of the King's Scripture, so he has to rely on himself for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, he possesses a wide range of supernatural powers and magical techniques, and with the assistance of the Myriad Dao Tree, wherever he is, simply releasing some of the Dao's aura is enough to help them enter a state of enlightenment.

"May I become your disciple?" Xuan Yuan Jing Tian's gaze was firm, gleaming with intense light.

"Wait until you've mastered the four sword techniques I taught you before you consider becoming my disciple." Qi Shi'an smiled slightly, patting Xuan Yuan Jingtian's head. The first four techniques of the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique that he taught were enough for this young man to learn for a long time.

Of course, Qi Shi'an did not tell Xuan Yuan Jingtian the real name of this sword technique, nor did he teach him the complete version, so as not to attract attention. He only said that it was a sword technique he created himself.

"Alright, then don't go back on your word. Once I've mastered those four sword techniques, I'll become your disciple!" Xuan Yuan Jingtian was resolute yet also possessed a touch of agility.

"I always mean what I say," Qi Shi'an said with a faint smile.

Just then, someone walked into the mountains and came to the small tribe of the Xuanyuan clan. One of the middle-aged men said, "What an amazing young man! He is a force to be reckoned with. He is about to start his own sect."

"However, choosing the Sinful Blood Xuanyuan Clan to accept disciples doesn't seem like a good idea."

The people in the tribe froze, stopped what they were doing, and looked toward the mountain pass. They were all blank, because something bad had happened again.

Whenever outsiders come, it is accompanied by injustice and sadness.

Especially now, seeing the attire of the newcomers, the Xuanyuan clan felt heavy-hearted, because the people who had been conscripted as adults had arrived, and more people would have to go to the battlefield to fight, which meant they would perish and die!

"My lord, Jing Tian and the others' father just died in battle. It's not time yet. Why are you mobilizing troops so soon?"

Clan Chief Xuanyuan Mei stepped forward with a bitter smile, for this was an unbearable burden for the Xuanyuan clan.

"Hehe, don't worry, this time it's not to conscript the young men of the Xuanyuan clan. After all, it's not the right time yet. I'm just here to visit a young friend."

Five people came in total. One of them, a middle-aged man, was someone Qi Shi'an knew, and he was the one who had just spoken.

Qi Shi'an snorted coldly. Judging from their posture, he knew they had come looking for him. The Wang family was like a stubborn leech, impossible to get rid of.

"Little devil, it's been a few days, and your achievements have quite frightened me. I heard from Xi'er that you've created a system, truly unprecedented!" The middle-aged man's tone was neither sarcastic nor ambiguous.

"Enough with the nonsense, Wang Er. How dare you! I explicitly forbade anyone to discuss the words 'sin and blood' in front of me. Are you provoking me?" Qi Shi'an glanced at him coldly, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

"Oh dear, it's only been a few days, but your personality hasn't changed at all. You're still so infuriating. Do you think the Imperial Pass is your home? Things are different now. Once we get to the Imperial Pass, my Wang family can crush you as easily as crushing an ant." Wang Er was arrogant and fearless of the threat.

Now, within the Imperial Pass, the Wang family has 300,000 elite troops. What good is it for a mere Void Realm cultivator to open up a system? A genius who hasn't grown up is ultimately just an ant.

Once he uses the Soul Searching Technique to find everything about the Little Demon, the system he created, countless Heavenly Techniques, wondrous methods, and the Immortal Scripture will all belong to their Wang family!

In addition, there is the Myriad Paths Tree, which is extremely rare in the world. It is the only one that has taken root in the Boundary Tomb and no one can pick it.

If they seize it, the Wang family is destined to prosper and become a true immortal family, living long and looking down upon all the heavens and myriad realms!

Qi Shi'an looked disdainful and scoffed, "Hmph, it seems that the lesson you gave your Wang family that day was not enough. If it weren't for the intervention of the people from the Ancestral Altar, do you really think that the descendants of your Wang family could live peacefully in this world?"

Wang Er's face was sinister, and he chuckled, "I won't stoop to your level. I've come here specifically to discuss your expedition."

Qi Shi'an squinted. He knew this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Moreover, it was the second scoundrel from the Wang family who personally came to inform them, clearly indicating that he wanted to pull some tricks.

However, Qi Shi'an was not afraid. With his current strength, as long as Wang Changsheng did not come in person, he had a great chance of winning against Wang Er, a pseudo-supreme in the Escape One Realm, even if he went all out!

Chapter 341 The Expedition

Qi Shi'an looked coldly at Wang Er and sneered, "For such a trivial matter, you, Wang Er, have come in person. You really think highly of me."

Their grudges ran deep, and Wang Er was someone personally selected by Qi Shi'an for exile; it was impossible for him to harbor good intentions, as everyone knew perfectly well.

Qi Shi'an knew that Wang Er had ill intentions, and Wang Er also knew that Qi Shi'an would definitely not willingly accept the expedition, so he brought several conscription officers of the same rank to force him to submit.

"Hehe, little devil, you can't escape this conscription today. You might as well obediently submit to avoid unnecessary punishment." Wang Er sneered, his gaze inadvertently glancing at the children behind him.

"Hmph, who wants to hide? Do you think I'm like your Wang family, only wanting to hide in the back and cause chaos in the world?"

Qi Shi'an's eyes flashed with disdain, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips: "Wang Changsheng is a coward, the son of a bastard. No matter how he changes, he'll always be a coward, his mind filthy. How can you lowly people compare to me, a man of such high moral character?"

"You...you haven't just insulted my Wang family, you even dare to humiliate my father?!" Wang Er glared angrily.

The conscription officers, dressed in silver armor, were taken aback and took a second look at the black-robed youth.

How dare they insult the ancestor of the Wang family? He was a powerful figure, a half-step True Immortal, with immense strength. Many important figures in the Imperial Pass had to show him respect.

"So what if your father was insulted? Do you really think I don't know why Wang Changsheng chose to swallow his anger that day? It was simply because he sensed the coming calamity of heaven and earth and dared not face it, so he went into seclusion to avoid it."

Qi Shi'an's expression was cold as he pointed at Wang Er and cursed, "A worthless coward! He doesn't want to give anything, yet he wants to take all the benefits. A half-step True Immortal, indeed! With me here, he'll never take that final step in his life! Sooner or later, I'll make your Wang family, like the Feng Clan, fade into the dust of history!"

"You...you..." Wang Er's face flushed red as he pointed at Qi Shi'an, his anger rising.

Qi Shi'an's eyes were mocking as he pointed at Wang Er's nose and cursed, "What do you mean, 'you'? If you want to die, I don't mind making you the first person to die under the Execution Platform!"

Wang Er's face alternated between pale and flushed. He had heard some things from Wang Xi, especially the heaven-defying acts committed by Huang and the little devil, which greatly surprised him and also revealed his greedy heart.

The Execution Platform and the Thunder Pool have both been subdued. If these two things fall into the hands of the Wang family, who would dare to provoke them again?

However, as greed arose, so did fear. They didn't know if the little devil could activate the Execution Platform, so they dared not take the risk.

Hearing these words, Wang Er thought the little devil could fully display the power of the Execution Platform, and his heart immediately tightened. He didn't want to become a dead soul under the Execution Platform.

Wang Er's expression was stiff. He forced a smile and said, "Young man, even if you are a genius who came here to hone your skills, you should come out of seclusion when you are ready, or you will be sent back to the Nine Heavens."

The conscription officers nodded in agreement, stating that they were not conscripting Qi Shi'an specifically, but that such a rule did indeed exist.

"Hmph, that's for the best. If I ever find out that this rule doesn't exist, hehe..." Qi Shi'an's eyes flashed with a fierce light, hiding a chilling killing intent that made the others break out in a cold sweat.

The oppressive aura made them feel suffocated, as if they were being stared at by a prehistoric beast, which was extremely terrifying.

They couldn't understand how a cultivator at the Void Dao Realm could possess such ferocity, making even those at the Escape One Realm tremble with fear.

"Child, you must be careful." Xuan Yuanmei and a group of adults came to see him off.

A group of children tugged at his clothes, looking up at him with great concern. Some little girls even burst into tears, because they thought he would die outside.

"Big brother, you have to come back alive!"

"Child, preserving your life is the most important thing, don't be reckless!"

The people of this tribe saw him off with heartfelt words of advice, not wanting such a young prodigy to pass away so soon.

"Don't worry, I won't die. As for you, just live your lives well. If you encounter any difficulties, go to the Dragon Palace or the Heavenly Intercepting Path and mention my name. I believe they will help you."

Qi Shi'an laughed loudly as he gave the orders, then his face turned fierce as he looked at Wang Er and the other conscripts, "If I return and find that this tribe is missing even one person, the Wang family members inside the Imperial Pass will be on their way to the execution platform one by one! The same goes for you!"

The conscription officers broke out in a cold sweat and nodded hastily, not daring to show any anger.

This black-robed youth showed no fear in the face of the Wang family, and even dared to insult Wang Changsheng. He must be a disciple of some reclusive master, and he was not afraid of Wang Changsheng at all.

They couldn't afford to offend such a powerful disciple, but they could at least avoid him.

Wang Er clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "My Wang family is not so despicable as to resort to violence against the weak!"

"The world may not know what the Wang family is thinking, but I, your humble servant, know it perfectly well." Qi Shi'an tapped Wang Er's shoulder with his index finger, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "You'd better watch yourself, Wang Er."

Wang Er's face was gloomy. Being threatened and humiliated by a junior one after another was a disgrace to the Wang family!

Unfortunately, he couldn't bring himself to kill this junior inside the Imperial Pass. Putting aside whether he could defeat him, if he made a move and failed to kill him in one strike, he would surely be the one to die.

The invincible being within the ancestral altar would not give him a second chance; he could be annihilated with a single thought, and even Wang Changsheng could not save him.

The rules of the Imperial Pass are absolute and cannot be disobeyed!

Qi Shi'an set off and was led by several conscription officers to a huge training ground.

In Diguan, there are many such martial arts arenas, belonging to different regions and managed by different powerful individuals.

Most of the people assigned to the same training ground belonged to the same legion.

At this moment, the legion that Qi Shi'an was brought to was led by the Imperial Guard family. There were already many people here, all of them powerful warriors from various races, preparing to leave the pass to fight against the enemy and go to the borderlands for a great battle!

"Tell me, how many heads of alien beings are needed to absolve the Xuanyuan clan of their sins?" Qi Shi'an exuded domineering aura as he pointed at a conscription officer who had led him there.

"Uh... to atone for one person's sins, one must kill a hundred enemies. Based on the current population of the Xuanyuan Clan, that would require killing a hundred thousand powerful beings from other realms!" The conscription officer, who was also an enforcer and wore silver armor, responded.

"What about the royal family and the imperial family?" Qi Shi'an asked again.

"Those people's battle merits will only be greater, one of them is worth thousands, or even tens of thousands, of ordinary alien beings!" said a cultivator riding on a Devouring Beast in the sky.

"How do I record the number of people I've killed?" Qi Shi'an asked again.

The great cultivator riding on the Devouring Beast remained silent for a moment, then tossed out a domino, "This is a battle merit token. It will automatically record a number for each person you kill."

"Understood." Qi Shi'an nodded and put away the battle merit token.

The training ground was very vast, capable of accommodating large armies from various tribes. At this moment, there were many warriors on the ground, all wearing cold armor and wielding sharp weapons.

In the sky, one ferocious bird or beast after another soared and circled, casting large shadows, upon which sat powerful cultivators.

"You want to exonerate the Xuanyuan clan? You little devil, your tone is far too arrogant!"

A cultivator clad in golden armor sat atop a colossal golden elephant. The mount was extraordinary, shimmering with golden light and swirling with celestial energy; it was clearly a sacred ancient beast.

As for that cultivator, Qi Shi'an had never seen him before, but he could recognize the Jin family's attire even if it were reduced to ashes.

"Who are you?" Qi Shi'an glanced at him coldly.

"My name is Jin Langtian, son of Jin Zhuhu. You are still too far from me. If you want to challenge me, it will take many more years." The cultivator in golden armor didn't care at all, and a small knife spun between his fingers.

This nonchalant and casual attitude revealed his disdain for Qi Shi'an, showing that he didn't take him seriously at all, and at least on the surface, he didn't consider the other party important.

"Oh, I thought it was someone else. It turns out to be Golden Tiger's son. No wonder he's so arrogant and brainless, just like his father."

Qi Shi'an looked disdainful and said with a faint smile, "However, Jin Laohu is smarter than you. At least he wouldn't dare to be so disrespectful to me. As his son, you haven't inherited his brains. You're really disgracing the Jin family."

In an instant, many people in the training ground turned their attention to the two, including many experts from various races, who stared intently at them.

"You little brat who hasn't even touched the threshold of my realm, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly! Not only have you insulted me, but you also have to humiliate my father! I think you're tired of living!" Jin Langtian pinched the knife between two fingers, the tip of the knife pointing at Qi Shi'an.

He had naturally heard of the man's deeds, but he took it as a joke. The Realm of Severing Myself was already a rare master in the world, let alone the Realm of Escape.

In his view, Qi Shi'an's defeat of a master of the Escape One Realm with his Void Dao Realm cultivation was simply the biggest joke in the world, yet people still spread the word about it, which was absurd!

It is important to know that the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to cross the boundary to challenge. Every one of the people who have reached the current level of "Slaying Self" and "Escape One" is a person of exceptional talent.

For a junior in the Void Dao Realm to nearly kill a Grandmaster in the Escape One Realm is nothing short of a myth. It would be more believable if it were someone as exceptionally talented as him in the Self-Slaying Realm.

"Hehe, I'm too lazy to argue with you inside the Imperial Pass. You'd better be careful on the battlefield, or you might get killed by some alien creature and disgrace the Jin family." Qi Shi'an smiled faintly.

He didn't want to cause a major disturbance within the Imperial Pass and break its rules, as that would easily give rise to gossip.

If it were on a battlefield, that would be a different story. In the chaos of battle, it wouldn't be surprising if a knife flew in from nowhere and pierced your back.

"Haha, little devil, if you're scared, just say so. Why make excuses? Sinful blood is sinful blood. You'll only embarrass yourself!" Jin Langtian sneered.

Qi Shi'an closed his eyes to rest, remaining motionless, ignoring even the foul language Jin Langtian uttered.

In Qi Shi'an's eyes, Jin Langtian was already a dead man once he stepped out of the Imperial Pass.

"Hmph, the descendants of a good-for-nothing can only be good-for-nothings." Jin Langtian showed a disdainful look, but was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that his strength had intimidated Qi Shi'an.

Of course, he didn't think he would lose to a mere Void Realm brat. He was a peerless genius who had advanced to the Self-Slaying Domain before the age of forty. How amazing that was! He was a rare talent in the entire Nine Heavens.

"Leave the pass!"

Just then, the leader in the sky gave the order, and all the armies of all tribes were mobilized and set off.

Shouts of men and howls of beasts filled the air, the cold glint of weapons illuminating the sky, and a large army, brimming with murderous intent, stepped onto a massive teleportation array, truly ready to set off on their expedition.

Jinlang Tianqi sat atop a golden elephant, toying with his throwing knives, and, bathed in divine light, advanced with the main force.

Qi Shi'an's aura had already locked onto Jin Langtian. As soon as the battle started, he would take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to kill Jin Langtian immediately, and no one would find out.

The army marched in a mighty procession, with squads of armored soldiers entering the teleportation array. Qi Shi'an followed behind, and with a flash of light, he disappeared from the spot.

Then, he appeared before a huge altar and found that even more troops had gathered there. Legions from all regions had assembled here and were leaving the pass, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The Imperial Pass has nine gates, each corresponding to one of the nine heavens. Qi Shi'an and his group are currently at the Qingwei Gate, which corresponds to the Qingwei Heaven. They will exit the pass from here.

"Once you leave this place, you'll be in the area beyond the pass. You must be careful."

"I hope that everyone who kills the enemy will come back alive!"

Several elderly men stood on the grand altar, simultaneously taking out golden bone fragments and filling the gaps in the altar.

boom!

In an instant, a vast expanse of light rose up, enveloping the area and forming a boundless celestial map that covered all the cultivators beneath it.

In the distance, towering city walls rise into the sky, constructed from piled-up star debris.

The altar near the pass glows, opening a passage; following it leads to the area beyond the pass.

With a whoosh, everyone vanished in unison, leaving the area inside the city walls and disappearing without a trace.
