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

All they can rely on is Tianyuan. Once it is breached, even the Imperial Pass will not be able to hold them off, and the entire world will fall.

Now, the two ancient ancestors Anlan and Yutuo from the foreign land have taken action and issued decrees. What major actions will they take in the future?

Those peerless powerhouses, who have looked down upon endless years, once they get serious, who knows what will happen, and whether the Heavenly Abyss will still be secure.

"Waaah..." Someone behind them sobbed softly, sounding very sad.

Looking back, one after another, corpses were being carried on people's backs, some incomplete, some placed on mounts, and others in coffins being carried by people, a scene of utter tragedy.

These are all cultivators who died in battle, some famous powerhouses, others unknown soldiers. War is so cruel; it doesn't matter whether you are strong or weak. On the battlefield, everyone is a member of the meat grinder, at risk of being crushed at any moment.

Of course, many cultivators were also directly blown to pieces, leaving no trace of their bodies. Many more corpses were buried in that crimson Yellow Spring, unable to be retrieved, and could only float in the Yellow Spring forever.

Only a very small number of the bodies were brought back!

After this battle, many more lost their husbands and fathers. The aftermath of the war was filled with pain. One person's tears triggered thousands of tears, and tens of thousands of tears. There were too many tragic scenes in the rear, which were unbearable to witness.

As they approached the Imperial Pass, the cries ceased, and the entire army fell silent, marching silently toward the pass. The dark mass of soldiers created a somber atmosphere.

"Xiao An, you've broken through to a higher realm?" Shi Hao had already sensed something was wrong with his close friend's aura, but only asked now.

Qi Shi'an nodded: "Yes, I have successfully severed the will of Heaven and defied the will of Heaven, breaking through to the Realm of Severing Myself."

"Let me tell you..."

Next, Qi Shi'an briefly explained to Shi Hao the perilous process of breaking through, and the significance of severing the will of Heaven and fighting against its will.

The only thing Qi Shi'an regretted was that he couldn't get rid of Jin Langtian, this scourge. If the foreign troops hadn't retreated so quickly, he would have taken the opportunity to strike and eliminate this villain.

"When we return to the Imperial Pass, I will also break through!" Shi Hao's gaze was resolute.

This great battle benefited him greatly, solidifying his foundation and revealing his shortcomings. Now, upon returning to the Imperial Pass, he is confident that he can break through to the point of "Slaying Me".

Finally, the army entered the chaotic mist and arrived at the vast and majestic first pass. The people remained silent, quietly waiting to enter the city.

Chi!

A beam of divine light descended, enveloping everyone. Immediately, some creatures screamed and turned to ashes, unable to even put up a fight.

Those were beings from another realm who had infiltrated the army during this great battle, hoping to slip through undetected. But unfortunately, throughout history, countless people who have tried to slip through have been exposed by an ancient mirror in the city, their true forms revealed, and they vanished into thin air.

Then, Qi Shi'an, Shi Hao and the others felt themselves being disintegrated and entered a strange passage. Before they could understand what was happening, they were plunged into the depths of the passage.

During this process, the blood roared, and the soul imprint vibrated violently, as if resonating with the Imperial Pass.

This is an investigation. Any living being that enters the Imperial Pass will be strictly examined. Only those who have recently left this pass are allowed to enter.

When they embarked on their journey, they had already left their unique auras here. The Imperial Pass is ancient and mysterious, and there is a reason why it has stood for thousands of years.

Soon after, they entered the city and found it teeming with people, all staring nervously in their direction. They were from various clans, eagerly awaiting the return of their people.

Unfortunately, this process was destined to be full of pain. When Shi Hao left, he heard heart-wrenching cries behind him. There were women, children, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled waiting for their loved ones to return, only to be met with devastating news.

Qi Shi'an looked back every step of the way, his heart aching at the sight of those who were weeping over corpses and coffins.

"Alas, war never ends, and the cycle of life and death never ceases. It's a pity that there is no paradise on earth; such a place only exists in dreams."

Qi Shi'an strolled away, slowly walking towards the Xuanyuan clan's mountain range, taking the opportunity to experience the everyday life within the Imperial Pass.

······

This other realm is vast and boundless, with an immeasurable territory. This world has never suffered a major attack, and its laws are perfected. Therefore, it is many times larger than the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and its spiritual energy is much richer.

After returning, each race traveled to their respective territories via a super teleportation array.

However, a very small number of people directly invite their friends and family to a restaurant for a gathering, where the younger generation can get together and speak freely.

"Damn it, a demon from a broken world dares to be so arrogant. Go and invite our strongest geniuses, bring out the geniuses of the imperial clan, and kill him!"

"Even the Martial Heaven King was no match for that desolate place. He was beaten so badly that his body was broken and he almost died."

"From the Great Crimson Sky Frontier to this great battle, they have slain so many that the younger generation of our realm dares not raise their heads. It would be a disgrace if those two were not eliminated!"

In the battle in the desert, King Lu Yun fell into the clutches of the demons, which was no different from death. King Wu was also defeated by the wilderness, which shocked many young alien beings and made them extremely worried. Being forced to this point by two humans made them unwilling.

This battle attracted the attention of young powerhouses from various foreign races, who regarded Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao as obstacles that must be removed as soon as possible!

"Speaking of which, should we really invite the imperial family? They have been dormant for a long time. Once they emerge, they will surely dominate the world, and all directions will worship them. There will be no chance for us to rise again."

"Then what do you think we can do? He Ziming has damaged his source, and now the Crane Clan is searching for medicine everywhere. King Lu Yun has fallen, King Wu is injured, and the first, second, and fourth ranked figures have all met such an end. Apart from the Imperial Clan, who can eliminate them?"

Everyone looked down at their full glasses, remaining silent for a long time.

The wine in their glasses, like a mirror, reflected the resentment and anger in their eyes.

Yes, all the young royal experts were defeated, some dead and some wounded. Apart from the imperial family, who else could kill that demon and Huang?

······

At the entrance of the Xuanyuan tribe village, a little girl saw a figure approaching from afar, her face lighting up with surprise as she cried out, "Big brother, you're back alive!!"

A group of children heard the sound and ran over quickly. They were surprised but also happy to see Qi Shi'an.

"Master, you are truly amazing. I heard that this battle was extremely fierce, and I thought you had also perished," Xuanyuan Jingtian said with a smile.

Qi Shi'an raised his hand and gently tapped Xuan Yuan Jingtian's head. "Nonsense! If I were really that easy to die, I would have died long ago in the Nine Heavens. Why would I need to wait until I'm on the battlefield?"

At this moment, the people of the tribe also appeared. Seeing that Qi Shi'an was safe and sound, they all showed simple and honest smiles.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." Clan Chief Xuan Yuanmei's voice trembled slightly.

What he feared most was welcoming back the warriors, because every time he heard bad news, most of the strong warriors who went to war returned dead.

"During my absence, those people haven't caused any trouble, have they?" Qi Shi'an asked.

Xuanyuan Mei knew who he was talking about, and shook his head: "No, things have been relatively peaceful these days, and no one has come to disturb us."

Qi Shi'an nodded, and then went into the village with the tribe members to cook the game they had hunted on the battlefield and share it with them.

"This is exotic meat, incredibly delicious..."

A group of children listened intently to Qi Shi'an's story while enjoying the delicious food. It was the best meat they had ever eaten, even more delicious than wild game hunted in the mountains.

"Master, when I become strong, I will also go into battle to kill enemies and devour alien creatures, devour them..." Xuan Yuan Jingtian mumbled, his mouth dripping with oil as he ate.

"Ha ha······"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

For the next few months, Qi Shi'an did not go out, but stayed in the tribe to teach the children cultivation, while he also went into semi-seclusion to ponder the path to the next divine treasure.

Another month passed, and this small tribe, nestled in the mountains and rarely visited by anyone, received a letter from someone.

"Is that little devil living here? He lives in such a remote place, it took me a lot of effort to find him." The person muttered to himself.

Xuanyuan Jingtian was practicing his sword when he saw someone visiting. He went up to them and asked, "Who are you, and what brings you here?"

"Oh, I've come to find Little Demon... Qi Shi'an, to deliver an invitation to him. There will be a gathering at Biluo Lake in Diguan in three days, and the most outstanding young figures from all races will be attending."

"A gathering? What kind of gathering?" Xuanyuan Jingtian murmured.

"This gathering is extraordinary. They are all leading figures of the younger generation, each one extraordinary and saintly. There are also the strongest successors of various races within the Imperial Pass, descendants of invincible beings, and descendants of true immortals."

The visitor's respectful explanation clearly indicated his strong desire for Qi Shi'an to come.

"Okay, I'll deliver the letter." Xuan Yuan Jingtian picked up the letter and ran off to Qi Shi'an's secluded retreat.

In the distance, right next to a low mountain of the Xuanyuan clan, a rich aura of immortality permeated the air, with four-colored rays of light shining out and soaring straight into the sky.

Outside the cave, Xuanyuan Jingtian stood at the door and said respectfully, "Master, someone has delivered a letter to you, inviting you to a grand event at Biluo Lake."

With a whoosh, a black figure suddenly appeared, snatched the invitation, and asked, "What else did that person say?"

"That person also said that this grand event brings together the young leaders of various races, as well as the descendants of invincible beings and the offspring of true immortals," Xuanyuan Jingtian replied.

Qi Shi'an nodded and murmured to himself, "Three days later?"

"Well, I suppose the Dragon Girl and the Witch will be going too. It's been a long time since I've seen them, so I might as well go."

Recently, the younger generation has been restless, especially the elites of various ethnic groups and the strongest successors of their respective clans, who are all waiting and hoping that someone will come to deliver an invitation.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed; many would not receive an invitation and would be unable to attend the legendary, high-profile gathering of geniuses.

Currently, there are many outstanding figures within the Imperial Pass, but the inviters for this grand event have a specific purpose, and therefore will only invite the most outstanding and famous young powerhouses.

Chapter 348 The Grand Gathering at Biluo Lake

"I've heard that there are rare treasures brought back from exotic lands on display this time."

"This is nothing. The main event is yet to come. It is said that someone has obtained information about the elixir of immortality outside the Imperial Pass. There is a fragment of a map left by the ancients, marking the areas where the elixir of immortality is found. It will be exhibited at the grand event."

"I've heard that they'll also discuss the secrets of the forbidden zone!"

In the Imperial Pass, some young cultivators from various races gathered together to discuss the matter. Although they could not participate, it did not prevent them from learning about it, and they even learned quite a bit.

Which restricted area?

"Naturally, it's a forbidden zone in the heavens!"

This statement surprised many people, as such places are not to be discussed casually, otherwise it could cause serious trouble.

"I heard that an invitation was even sent to a restricted area this time, but I don't know if anyone from the restricted area will come."

When this news came out, it caused quite a stir, and many people were very surprised and shocked.

What kind of place is the forbidden zone in the heavens? It is a true den of dragons and tigers, and anyone who dares to touch it will pay the price with their blood and soul!

Furthermore, for a long time, the restricted area has been a lifeless and stagnant place. How could any living creature possibly come out after an invitation is sent out like this?

"A grand event... an absolutely grand event! If I could, I'd love to go inside and take a look," someone exclaimed.

If a being could be brought out of the forbidden zone, even if he is young and has no achievements, it would be enough to cause a great uproar and shake all races.

People are eager to know who came up with this idea, that they would dare to do such a thing.

It should be known that the forbidden zones in the heavens are more terrifying and mysterious than can be imagined. In a sense, the level they represent is no less than that of the legendary figures who have long since disappeared in history!

They remained very low-key, living in a state of solitude for countless years without making any moves.

Otherwise, if they become enemies, the world is destined to be in chaos, and the entire world will likely be doomed.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In a place in the Imperial Pass with beautiful scenery and shrouded in spiritual energy all year round, it was unusually lively today. Many geniuses had come to this gathering.

Biluo Lake, with its emerald green waters, is like a piece of crystal jade inlaid on the earth, warm and beautiful, brilliant and ethereal, and it exudes an aura of immortality all year round.

It is said that in ancient times, immortals once lived in this area!

Around Biluo Lake, there are several sacred mountains. Some radiate a sacred glow, while others are as black as ink, with black mist still emanating from them. However, they are not terrifying; instead, they exude a sense of the Great Dao. Some are purple-gold in color, like immortal swords stuck on the shore.

Many of these sacred mountains are suspended in mid-air, with beautiful scenery and a light mist swirling around them, like a fairyland.

"What a luxurious place! I really want to take it all away." Qi Shi'an's eyes gleamed, his greed evident on his face.

From afar, he saw a woman in a long blue dress with dragon horns on her forehead, who was fresh and refined, like a fairy from heaven.

At that moment, she stood by the lake, looking around for anyone who was coming. The instant she saw Qi Shi'an, a smile as beautiful as a peach blossom appeared on her face. She took graceful steps and quickly walked closer.

"How are you doing, adapting to the Imperial Pass?" Qi Shi'an smiled slightly and naturally reached out to brush a strand of hair from the Dragon Girl's ear.

"Not bad. Ever since I came here, the old Dragon King has been watching my cultivation." The Dragon Girl smiled. "As for you, I heard that you have killed a lot of alien creatures and even broken into the Realm of Self-Severance. I was so happy when I heard that."

"It's alright, I can barely earn some battle merits." Qi Shi'an looked around, then leaned close to the Dragon Girl's ear and whispered, "By the way, does your Dragon Palace have any Xuanwu Clan's treasured techniques? Anything containing Xuanwu Clan bloodline would be fine too."

"Yes, there is, but it seems incomplete. Why are you asking about this?"

The Dragon Girl pondered for a moment, and it seemed that Qi Shi'an had never lacked precious techniques, and now that he had embarked on the path of creating his own techniques, he was even less lacking.

Qi Shi'an frankly stated, "It has something to do with my next level of cultivation, but even the incomplete part is enough."

He has been studying how to open up the Four Extremes Heavenly Treasury these days, but after thinking about it, he always feels that something is missing.

The Four Celestial Gods' Treasury requires the Milky Way as a guide to open up the Four Celestial Continents, and the so-called Four Celestial Continents are related to the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

He already possesses the related magical techniques for the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger, but he lacks only the Black Tortoise.

Therefore, he wanted to deduce a special technique from some of the magical techniques of ferocious beasts containing the bloodline of Xuanwu, with the help of the Myriad Paths Tree.

"Alright, after the event, I'll have someone deliver it to you." The Dragon Girl nodded, without asking any further questions.

"Oh, isn't this the little devil? What a rare guest."

Just then, a languid and alluring voice rang out, and Qi Shi'an knew who it was without even looking.

Not far away, a graceful woman in white walked towards them with cat-like steps, like a bewitching elf, lively and beautiful.

"Oh, isn't this the demoness who intercepts the Heavenly Dao? Long time no see, you've finally deigned to kneel and pay your respects?" Qi Shi'an teased. "Given your lack of attention, you'll be warming the bed for today."

"Pah, you wicked little devil, you're so improper." The witch gritted her teeth and spat.
