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

“Hey, Huang, look over there.” Cao Yusheng whispered, pointing to a spot not far away, “Isn’t that Jin Zhan’s uncle, Jin Zhifei? And Wang Xi’s cousin, they’ve infiltrated too.”

"Why bother with a few clowns?" Shi Hao said dismissively.

Cao Yusheng whispered a reminder: "I think they have ill intentions. We should keep an eye on them so that we don't do anything underhanded without our knowledge."

"It's alright. If they dare to do anything wrong, I'll kill them!" Shi Hao said domineeringly.

"Never mind them, let's drink first. The wine and food here are absolutely superb!" Qi Shi'an sat cross-legged at a jade table, enjoying the fine wine and delicacies.

He had been either fighting on the battlefield or cultivating in seclusion lately, and it had been a long time since he had done anything purely for enjoyment. Taking advantage of this gathering, he wanted to indulge himself.

"Hehe, little devil, you still don't care about your image." The witch covered her mouth with her pinky finger, revealing a faint smile, gentle yet charming.

"You don't understand. I call this knowing when to control the flow, when to maintain a proper balance," Qi Shi'an said, holding his wine glass in self-defense.

Just then, Qi Hong slowly walked towards Qi Shi'an, causing a commotion.

"Is this the Demon Lord? I've long admired your name and heard of your dashing demeanor. Meeting you today confirms it's true. It's a pleasure to meet you," Qi Hong said with a smile.

Qi Shi'an stood up to greet him and smiled calmly: "Life is like a vast ocean, with mountains and rivers. Living in this mortal world, if we don't live more freely and clearly, wouldn't we feel suffocated?"

Qi Hong was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "Brother Dao, you are young, but you see things clearly. You are truly extraordinary."

Chapter 350 Arrogance

"So you're the little devil Father spoke of who fought against foreign heroes, bathed in enemy blood, severed the will of Heaven, and defied the will of Heaven. I thought you'd have three heads and six arms, a leopard's head and piercing eyes." The four phoenixes of the Wei family walked over, one of the girls grinning.

Qi Shi'an was taken aback, looking at the girl in pink, "You are... Wei Wuyan's daughter?"

“That’s right! My name is Wei Yingying,” the girl in pink said.

"If you are the Demon Lord, then this must be Huang. Both of you are renowned for your slaying of foreign kings on the border of the Great Crimson Heaven, and even defeating the Heavenly King beyond the pass. You have killed countless enemies and your battles have shocked the world. Today, we finally get to meet you."

Tuogu, with his flowing purple hair, handsome face, and awe-inspiring presence, slowly walked closer.

"To be able to advance and slay me at such a young age, the talent of you two fellow Daoists truly puts us to shame," Qi Hong said with a faint smile.

The place immediately erupted in excitement. The cultivators from the Nine Heavens naturally recognized Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao, but many creatures in the Imperial Pass had never seen them before.

At this moment, the young man in the Imperial Pass looked at Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao with a look of surprise and disbelief, scrutinizing them carefully.

They had long heard of the two men's deeds, but had been focused on cultivation and had not been able to visit them in person. Today, upon seeing them, they were indeed exceptionally handsome and had the appearance of supreme beings.

Shi Hao was somewhat surprised. Qi Hong and Jin Zhan arrived together in a chariot, and Tuo Gu Yulong's sister accompanied Wang Xi. They were all very close. To an observer, it was obvious that the four of them were allies. Why were they being so polite now?

Could it be that these people are unaware of the feud between the two of them and the Wang and Jin families?

That shouldn't be the case. They are all from families with longevity and immense power in the Imperial Pass. They should be able to know about the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Brother Dao, you flatter me. Even those alien creatures aren't that powerful. I believe you can do it too." Qi Shi'an was quite humble, making the witch almost not recognize him.

She had never seen the little devil so humble before. Didn't he usually look down on everyone? Especially when facing the Changsheng family, he was always arrogant and ready to fight anyone who disagreed.

Qi Shi'an treated Qi Hong, Tuo Gu Yulong, and the four phoenixes of the Wei family in this way because he knew their character. These three great families had guarded the Imperial Pass for many years, unlike the Wang and Jin families, who only knew how to take and did not know how to give.

He has always been like this, focusing on the issue, not the person. He would naturally treat the Changsheng family, who had been fighting for many years, with courtesy, as this was the respect due to the countless heroic spirits who had died in battle.

As for the Wang family, the Jin family, and other families with longevity, he naturally treated them with malice.

At this moment, with Qi Hong, Tuo Gu Yulong, and the Wei family's four phoenixes leading the way, a large crowd gathered, making the place extremely crowded and noisy. Some young girls even stared at Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao with fiery eyes.

Of course, not everyone was so enthusiastic. For example, Jin Zhan, Wang Xi, and the people they brought sat at the jade table without moving an inch or even glancing at it.

“Brother Shi’an, you are too modest. Not to mention He Ziming, even a master like Lu Yuntianwang would be impossible for us to kill so easily.” Someone said sincerely, not in a flattering way.

"With your talent, Brother Dao, you are probably already capable of contending with that foreign imperial clan."

"Hmph, an imperial family? That's giving him far too much credit." Someone sneered, their voice harsh and sarcastic.

Shi Hao turned around and saw Jin Zhifei's cold gaze, and it was Jin Zhifei who had made the cold snort just now.

"Isn't this supposed to be a grand event for the younger generation? How come there's an old guy mixed in? It's really incongruous!" Cao Yusheng mocked.

It has to be said that he has a really sharp tongue. Jin Zhifei is not yet forty years old, not young, but not old either.

Cao Yusheng's immediate labeling of him as an old man is incredibly unfair and a blatant mockery.

"Young man, you..." Jin Zhifei slammed his hand on the table and stood up, raising his hand to grab Cao Yusheng.

Everyone was shocked. Was he going to make a move here? This was a grand event, and it had only just begun, yet a major battle was about to break out.

Not far away, Jin Zhan and Wang Xi had no intention of intervening; they simply watched coldly from the sidelines.

“Brother Jin, this grand event is jointly organized by our three great families. Are you disregarding us by making such a move?” Qi Hong stepped forward and stood in front of Cao Yusheng.

“Brother Jin, today’s grand gathering is not for resolving your private matters. Isn’t it somewhat inappropriate to turn against each other here?” Tuogu Yulong also stepped forward, his voice soft and calm, yet subtly threatening.

This surprised many people. Weren't these two young experts supposed to be allied with the Wang and Jin families? How could they express their opinions at the same time, and clearly stand on the side of the Demon Lord and Huang?

"You dare to target my friend right in front of me?" Shi Hao's eyes were cold, and a divine light flashed in his pupils like lightning.

Everyone was shocked. Was Huang about to start a major conflict here?

Qi Shi'an smiled and said calmly, "Well, we're all guests, how can we start a big fight on someone else's territory?"

Just when everyone thought he was going to intervene and prevent a major battle, his next words left everyone speechless.

"How about this: your Jin and Wang families will bring their people, and we'll go outside the Imperial Pass for a life-or-death battle. The two of us will challenge all of you, even if all the Nine Dragons and all the experts from the Jin family come out. We'll take them all on, risking the lives of our entire clans!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes were mocking as he chuckled, "Whoever loses will have their entire clan wiped out! What do you say?"

These words shocked everyone present. They all thought they had misheard. What was he trying to do?

Two people want to take on the entire Wang and Jin families single-handedly? Are they crazy?

"You..." Jin Zhifei's face was so gloomy it could drip water. He couldn't believe that the black-robed youth was so arrogant, daring to say that he would kill everyone from the two great immortal families.

Although he really wanted to kill the two boys in front of him, he didn't want to gamble with the fate of his clan.

He knew that Qi Shi'an had subdued half of the Execution Platform and Shi Hao had subdued a Thunder Pool, and no one knew how far the two could go.

If that little devil's half of the Execution Platform could be fully activated, even if the Jin family's patriarch came, he wouldn't dare to confront it head-on.

You should know that it is said that the thing was born before the creation of the world and has existed for countless years. It has beheaded countless peerless geniuses. Those who can attract the Execution Platform are all more promising than Jin Taijun and have the potential to become immortals!

At this moment, Biluo Lake fell into silence. No one dared to speak first, not even the initiators of this grand event.

"Speak up, weren't you shouting so loudly? We're giving you a chance to kill the two of us, don't you want to try?" Qi Shi'an smiled mysteriously, leaving Jin Zhifei even more confused.

Shi Hao chimed in, "That's right. You two great immortal families have so many people. If you can't beat them in a one-on-one fight, are you afraid to gang up on them?"

"Hmph, the lives of you two juniors are not comparable to those of our longevity families. The price is not right, so gambling is useless!" Jin Zhifei said coldly.

"The price is not commensurate? Don't you know best what we have? Any one of us is enough to buy your ancestral land." Qi Shi'an's eyes were mocking as he sneered, "If you don't dare, just say you don't dare. Why are you being so stubborn?"

"Gentlemen, today's gathering is not for personal grudges. If you are dissatisfied, please arrange another duel another day." A young woman in green from the Wei family's Four Phoenixes said coldly, clearly displeased.

Jin Zhifei's gaze was cold as he nodded to the outstanding successors of the three great families of Diguan. "For your sake, I will not hold a grudge against these two juniors today. I will take my leave now."

In the distance, the roar of beasts could be heard. Four golden divine beasts pulled a chariot into Biluo Lake and arrived in the void above Jin Zhifei's head.

Jin Zhifei swiftly moved and sat inside the chariot, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"Uncle Ba, he's just leaving like that?"

Inside the chariot, a young man was very unwilling. He had red lips and white teeth and was very handsome, but when he looked at the two people below, his gaze was very unfriendly.

"What else can we do but leave? Those two have already reached the pinnacle of cultivation and entered the Realm of Severing Self, standing on the same level as me. When Huang was still in the Void Dao stage, I was already at a disadvantage. Now that he has broken through to the Realm of Severing Self, he will only become stronger!"

Although Jin Zhifei was furious, he was not blinded by anger.

"This is outrageous! Are we just going to let those two madmen get away with it?" The young man's face contorted with rage.

"No rush, those two will die sooner or later. Let's go back to the camp first, and I'll ask the ancestor for instructions." A cold glint flashed in Jin Zhifei's eyes, revealing a chilling killing intent.

And so, the four divine beasts pulled the chariot away from Biluo Lake and headed towards the Jin family's base in the Imperial Pass.

As Jin Zhifei's chariot drove away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.

The confrontation between the group of people just now had been so intense that they dared not even breathe, it was truly terrifying.

When Qi Shi'an announced that the two of them would have to fight a life-or-death battle against the two great immortal families, everyone was stunned and shocked.

"Please, let's go to the inner hall and take our seats to discuss the matters of this gathering," Qi Hong said.

Everyone who came here was mentally prepared, knowing that the gathering had a specific purpose, but what exactly they were selling was unknown.

After everyone was seated, Qi Hong raised his glass and said, "I invited you all here today for two reasons. First, to make friends with you all. In the future, we will be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, so we should meet up eventually."

"Otherwise, once on the battlefield, it's very likely that we'll be separated forever."

After saying that, everyone raised their glasses and drank together. Qi Hong's words were true; the battlefield has always been cruel, no matter how they were sitting together at this moment.

Even the most powerful beings like Immortal Kings and True Immortals have died on the battlefield. Who can guarantee that they will live forever?

After finishing his drink, Qi Hong continued, "My second purpose is to share something with you all."

This gathering was originally intended for young people to discuss doctrines and philosophy, and some even brought strange and wondrous objects. Rumors had already leaked out before the gathering even began.

"I wonder what kind of strange and divine object it is that makes Brother Qi Hong so solemn?" someone asked.

"This is something that our ancestor obtained after a bloody battle with his enemy when he fought outside the Great Wall," Qi Hong said, making a startling statement.

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. For an invincible being to regard it as a strange and divine object, it must be something extraordinary.

When people saw Qi Hong solemnly open a stone box, they were all astonished, for a dazzling divine light emanated from it, like a small sun, making it difficult to look directly at.

This thing can actually hang in mid-air without falling; it's as light as nothing.

Many people opened their third eye and stared at it with narrowed eyes. The thing was golden yellow, like the most brilliant gold burning, emitting a blazing light, mysterious and rare.

Furthermore, it exudes a powerful energy, carrying a vigorous force that makes many people feel very comfortable.

Clearly, this thing surpasses ordinary divine objects; its life force is so pure that it sends shivers down one's spine.

Qi Shi'an sat upright at the jade table, took a sip of the divine wine, and said calmly, "Immortal Source!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the black-robed youth drinking at the jade table. He actually knew the origin of this item!

Chapter 351 People from the Forbidden Zone

"Brother Dao recognizes this item?!" Qi Hong looked surprised and was quite taken aback.

"I guess so. I saw it in the legacy of the Martial Immortal."

As always, Qi Shi'an shifted all the blame for the difficult questions to Wu Tianzhenxian, since no one knew whether it was true or false.

"This was originally innate essence, but it became extraordinary because it was contaminated with the longevity substance."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, deeply shocked. As long as the amount of longevity substance is sufficient, it is enough to be called a divine medicine or supplement.

The innate essence is the original essence of this world. It can condense into precious stones and other forms in the universe. Refining the innate essence for cultivation can be helpful to cultivators.

Meanwhile, some people also know that exceptional individuals can refine this rare substance, returning it to its original state and turning it into a liquid, which can then be used to seal creatures, etc.

However, the effect was not good; at least for true masters, it was of little significance.

Unless a Supreme Being intervenes, refining divine liquid and incorporating divine substances from various races, it can seal experts at the Escape One Realm and below. It is ineffective against those at the Supreme Realm.

"You may know that the divine liquid refined by the Supreme is called the Divine Source, but the Immortal Source is not so simple. The Immortal Source can seal the Supreme forever. As long as he does not leave the world, he can live on." Qi Shi'an took a sip of wine.

Everyone was astonished. The Divine Source could only seal those below the Supreme level, but this thing could seal the Supreme level forever, allowing the Supreme level to live on forever. It was truly unbelievable.

"Can this thing seal immortals?" someone asked.

Qi Shi'an nodded: "If it is a liquid, it can indeed seal immortals and allow immortals to live forever. However, such a thing is very rare. It is difficult to find the amount needed to seal an immortal in the whole world."

At this moment, people were deeply moved. It was truly astonishing that even immortals and immortals could be sealed away.

Wei Yingying looked puzzled and asked, "Does the fact that this thing is named Immortal Source mean that experts in the Immortal Path can refine it?"

Qi Shi'an shook his head: "Impossible. If it were something that any immortal master could refine, it wouldn't be so rare that it's hard to find in the world. Only those at the supreme level above the Immortal King level have the ability to refine this thing."

He wasn't referring to an ordinary Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but rather a being who truly stood at the pinnacle of the Supreme God Realm!

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. The realm above Immortal King was a realm that no longer existed.

This is the supreme realm that immortal kings like Anlan and Yutuo are currently seeking!

"I never expected this thing to be so precious. Even a Celestial King couldn't refine it..." Qi Hong was shocked. He thought it was just an ordinary item, but he never imagined it was a truly rare treasure.

Tuogu Yulong's expression was serious as he solemnly said, "Fellow Daoists, you have all heard this. If you see it in the alien battlefields beyond the pass in the future, please pay attention, as this item is of great use!"

Although everyone's faces remained calm, their hearts were far from at peace.

The immortal essence that can only be refined in realms above the Immortal King level is unimaginable; one cannot fathom how much of it exists in other realms.

After everyone calmed down for a while, Tuogu Yulong took out something to divert everyone's attention.
