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

With a loud "boom," a burst of light shot up from the area, and a gourd appeared and began to shake.

A cyan passageway was constructed, and the group stepped into it, disappearing from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

This passageway appears to be forged from lapis lazuli, shimmering with azure light, and adorned with a variety of intricate runes, like stars scattered across the sky, making the place both mysterious and peaceful.

As the group stepped inside, they felt as if fragments of time were flowing by and the spatial layers were disordered. It was as if their physical bodies and spirits were about to separate and be detached from each other. It was a strange feeling.

Soon, the group emerged from the mysterious portal and stepped onto a flat piece of land.

Chapter 34 Entering the Ruins

The group arrived at a flat area, not among towering mountains. Looking into the distance, they could vaguely see an ancient city nestled at the edge of the horizon.

"Aren't we heading to Hundred Broken Mountains?" a young man from Butian Pavilion asked in surprise.

"No one can give an exact time when that place will open, but it should be within the next few days. It's very close to here, so let's go to that city first."

This time, Tao Ye was in charge of leading the team.

Besides him and the two mischievous children, there were five other people with him—three men and two women—all outstanding talents who had been accepted as personal disciples by the higher-ups of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and rarely appeared in the Genius Camp.

As for Shi Yi, the Emperor's daughter, and other people of high status, they were all escorted by their clansmen and are probably already in Duan Kong City.

"Oh, so you're the disciples who were taken in separately by the old monster?"

Shi Hao blinked his big eyes, looking at the group with curiosity.

"Oh~, no wonder I didn't see you that day. So you've been taken in as personal disciples. How 'lucky' you are."

Qi Shi'an smiled and looked at the group, trying to see what treasures they had on them.

Upon hearing this, the five glared at them, and even Tao Ye was speechless.

Does this "lucky" mean that they were fortunate they weren't there that day, otherwise they would have been killed by him with a single shot like those people?

Qi Shi'an glared back coldly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

The five of them didn't dare to make a sound, clearly because their teacher had warned them not to provoke the two kids, or they would be in big trouble.

"Don't glare at me. What do those old monsters teach you all day?"

Shi Hao, acting like a natural friend, stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

Qi Shi'an said with a grin, "Little one, I recently acquired a peerless treasure technique. How about I teach you?"

Upon hearing that Qi Shi'an had learned the magic technique in the Sutra Repository, he exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Great! I love magic techniques the most!"

"Alright, let's go into Broken Sky City first."

Tao Ye was really having a headache dealing with these two unruly kids.

Led by Tao Ye, they headed towards the ancient city.

This is an ancient land, once vibrant with life, but gradually declined due to the great war.

They walked and talked, and soon reached the end of the land. A city stood before them, quite imposing, with an extremely grand city gate and very tall, gray-brown walls.

Broken City, an ancient city etched with the marks of time, is still bustling with activity.

The city was bustling with traffic and people, and there was a variety of creatures, including humans, as well as various beasts, plants and other creatures. The streets were lined with all kinds of shops.

The Hundred Broken Mountains open once every few hundred years, each time shaking the world and affecting the boundless wilderness and vast rivers and mountains. All the top forces will escort their geniuses to the site.

This is because the Hundred Broken Mountains are rich in opportunities and treasures, making them a training ground for all geniuses.

To enter Hundred Broken Mountains, two conditions must be met: one is that you must be under eighteen years old, and the other is that you cannot surpass the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"We arrived relatively early and found a place to stay. A few days later, we would have had to find a huge rock to sit on," Tao Ye said with a smile.

Qi Shi'an turned around and looked behind him. Not far away, a carriage drove out of the secluded courtyard. It was pulled by several ferocious beasts, driven by a human expert, and followed by many guards.

A white tiger sat in the carriage, its eyes fierce and its aura menacing, while two beautiful young girls served it beside it.

Qi Shi'an's gaze was fixed on the white tiger. It was most likely the offspring of an ancient species, and its precious blood and bones must be extremely powerful, which made him envious.

A female disciple from the Butian Pavilion exclaimed in amazement, "That little white tiger actually travels in a chariot, and has powerful people serving it. How powerful must its master be?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Tao Ye's expression hardened, and he stopped her with a very stern look.

They then realized that these were most likely offspring of an ancient species, not some kind of pet, otherwise why would they be so grand?

"Roar!"

A deep roar came, and the little white tiger stared coldly at the female disciple who had spoken earlier.

"Slap yourselves, or you will be in grave danger!" the coachman said sternly.

"Fellow Daoist, the child is ignorant, please don't take it to heart," Tao Ye said gently.

"Fellow Daoist, don't try to intimidate others with your aura. Even if you want to resolve this, you'll have to go into Hundred Broken Mountains."

"With so many powerful individuals here, isn't it inappropriate for you to be so overtly aggressive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white tiger's fierce eyes met Qi Shi'an's. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, becoming extremely cold.

Qi Shi'an stared intently at it without fear, his eyes equally fierce, a blood-black glint flashing in them, making the white tiger feel an inexplicable pressure.

"How dare you!" the coachman roared.

The guards following behind stepped forward, their armor gleaming darkly, each exuding a murderous aura.

"Sir, we come from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. Although we do not wish to cause trouble, we are not afraid of it either!"

A golden light flashed in Tao Ye's palm, revealing a bright yellow gourd with flowing runes.

"Roar..."

The white tiger withdrew its gaze, let out a roar, and urged the carriage to continue moving forward.

After careful consideration, it realized that there were countless powerful individuals in this area, and that rashly launching a major attack over a trivial matter would undoubtedly make it a thorn in the side of other forces.

This move was counterproductive, and that brat's ferocity was even stronger than its own; he was not someone to be trifled with.

The coachman said coldly, "The Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the mountain may not move, but the road will. We, the Western Beast Mountain, will remember this. Also, the Tiger Lord told me to tell you that we'll meet again after we enter the Hundred Broken Mountains!"

The carriage continued forward, and the white tiger turned its head, its eyes filled with icy coldness and murderous intent.

It had a premonition that it would encounter that brat in the Hundred Broken Mountains, and that it would surely be a terrible bloody battle.

Qi Shi'an licked his lips and watched the carriage depart.

Once he enters Hundred Broken Mountains, even if the White Tiger doesn't come looking for him, he will come looking for it. The White Tiger is a treasure from head to toe, and he won't miss this opportunity.

Seeing the greed in Qi Shi'an's eyes, Shi Hao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Do you want to eat it too?"

“Naturally, I’m already quite eager to get my hands on this white tiger’s precious blood, skin, and bones.” Qi Shi’an nodded slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Don't go alone! If you kill it, remember to call me. I haven't eaten beast meat in a long time."

Shi Hao smacked his lips at the thought of being able to eat as much as he wanted in the Hundred Broken Mountains.

Qi Shi'an laughed and said, "Don't worry, if we encounter it, I will definitely destroy its soul with one shot! I will ensure that its body is in the most complete state, and then we will eat tiger meat together and comprehend the treasure bone."

"it is good!"

Shi Hao was overjoyed, dancing with excitement, wishing he could enter Baiduan Mountain right now.

Everyone was speechless upon hearing the conversation between the two. An ancient remnant, a descendant of a king, had become food in their mouths?

"You two better shut up and don't cause any trouble."

Tao Ye was most afraid of these two, as they showed no intention of obeying discipline whatsoever.

No matter how much you preach to them, they nod and say they understand, then turn around and forget it, continuing to act the same way they did before.

“This city is quite large, and many talented young people have come here. Xiao An, how about we go out for a stroll?” Shi Hao suggested.

"I want to stay at my residence. Don't you want to obtain my peerless martial arts technique?"

Qi Shi'an used his magic to lure Shi Hao, believing he wouldn't take the bait.

"Then the precious technique is still more important!" Shi Hao said righteously.

"Then come with me."

"Elder Tao Ye, if anyone asks you, just say that we two have left the group on our own."

After Qi Shi'an led Shi Hao away from the Patching Heaven Pavilion team, he returned to his room, took out a bone book, and handed it to Shi Hao.

"This bone book is what I secretly copied. The techniques inside will definitely be useful to you."

This bone book was created by him by infusing runes into a piece of pure white bone. The runes contained within are either runes from the Golden Whirlpool Ripple Technique or original runes that have been simplified and reshaped by the Myriad Paths Tree.

It is more profound and exquisite than the previous Golden Whirl Ripple Technique!

Shi Hao looked at the bone book in his hand, turned a page, and runes shot into his body. He seemed to see the figure of an ancient demonic bird.

He was completely captivated by the bone book, and immediately sat down to study it. Ripples of light transformed into a golden vortex, and the silver moon behind him shimmered, resonating with the golden vortex.

Seeing how fascinated he was, Qi Shi'an quietly left the room and went to another room next door. He opened the window and watched the people coming and going around him with a sense of contentment.

"Those forces that have a grudge against me must have all arrived by now," Qi Shi'an thought to himself.

This trip to Baiduan Mountain will surely be full of ups and downs, fraught with danger, but also full of endless opportunities. There should be plenty of precious medicines and bones, but even more ferocious beasts and ancient remnants will be everywhere.

For him, these ancient species are his opportunity. He must eat more of them, but he must do so in secret and not be too arrogant.

"This time, we must break through to the Tenth Heavenly Cave of Baiduan Mountain!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes revealed a resolute determination.

At that moment, a sound like the booming of a divine bell rang out, making people's ears ring. A golden lion with nine heads walked majestically down the street.

"Roar......"

The nine-headed lion roared, its entire body radiating golden light, overwhelming the aura fluctuations of everyone nearby. Its voice, as powerful as thunder, proclaimed…

"Has any of you seen those two human children? I've heard they're incredibly talented. Powerful geniuses should serve as my war servants; it would be the greatest honor of their lives."

The nine-headed lion roared, its voice like thunder, shaking everyone to their core.

Qi Shi'an stood by the window, gazing at the majestic nine-headed golden lion, thinking, "I wonder what this lion tastes like. I must try it once I go inside; I want the authentic taste of braised lion's head."

When they arrived at Baiduan Mountain, both he and Shi Hao disguised themselves, not daring to easily reveal their true appearances, for fear of being caught.

..........

For the past two weeks, Qi Shi'an has been staying in his room cultivating and studying the Myriad Dao Tree. Now he has thoroughly understood all the runes on the Myriad Dao Tree, and his understanding and application of the treasure techniques have reached their peak.

On this day, a mist rose from the far reaches of the earth, hazy and ethereal, followed by a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, shooting out countless rays of light.

Everyone in Duankong City was alarmed and broke their cultivation.

The sky seemed to hold the gaze of a celestial being who had opened his eyes from the chaos, his pupils shooting out streaks of lightning.

"It's coming! The Hundred Broken Mountains are finally about to appear, and the passage will open."

All the older generation in the city stared wide-eyed, watching with bated breath.

The Hundred Broken Mountains are a world unto themselves; what is manifesting now is merely a shadow, separated from them by endless void.

In an instant, the entire Broken Sky City descended into chaos. Everyone appeared, densely packed, standing on any open space in Broken Sky City, ready to rush to the ends of the earth at any moment.

Chapter 35 Stewing the Ferocious Beast

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao were both awakened by the loud noise.

As he stepped outside, he saw Shi Hao tidying up the pots and pans he had looted, before hoisting a large sack onto his shoulder.

Seeing this scene, Qi Shi'an was glad that he had managed to grab a storage bag, otherwise he would have ended up like Shi Hao.

With a deafening roar, the sky seemed to snap shut, and the white shockwave abruptly stopped, ceasing its advance.

"Little one, charge!"

Qi Shi'an roared and then rushed into the chaotic mist.

There are many passages within the fog, and creatures that choose different paths will be transported to different regions.

These passages are connected by roads, so beings that enter from different passages will eventually meet.

"Hey, wait for me."

Shi Hao carried a large sack of cooking utensils, making a clanging and rattling sound, and rushed into the mist.

"My lion's head meatballs, tiger bone soup, steak... here I come!" Shi Hao wiped away the drool that was about to drip down his face.
