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

Then, the Vermilion Bird of the Southern Pole, the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Pole, and various star fields emerged one after another.

Boom!

The Milky Way surged forth, bursting open a gateway to the Great Dao. Chaotic light, like a burst dam, poured down, engulfing the entire inner universe.

The gate to the Yuandu Divine Treasury was finally torn open, and the Great Dao Order burst forth from the crack, like billions of divine chains lashing the void.

His body trembled violently, his flesh and bones resonated, emitting a rumbling Daoist sound.

Qi Shi'an sat cross-legged, chanting scriptures, his voice resounding throughout the inner universe.

The surging force of the Milky Way suddenly intensified, and the silver waterfall, carrying starlight, burst forth from the void, circling the four poles of the universe. The four divine demons roared to the sky, and their respective star fields lit up with brilliant light.

The Four Extremes Heaven expanded simultaneously the instant the portal to the Yuandu Divine Treasury opened, and the boundaries of the star field were pushed open by an invisible force.

Deep within that portal, it seemed as if another world was being created.

Qi Shi'an felt his will being drawn into it, and a scene of countless interwoven great paths flashed before his eyes, as if telling the mystery of the birth and death of the universe.

His spiritual embryo suddenly opened its eyes, formed a hand seal, and unleashed a streak of divine light that stabilized the turbulent chains of divine order, causing the world within the portal to stagnate and gradually take shape.

At this moment, Yuandu was formed from the center of the universe surrounded by the Four Extremes Heaven, and the main trunk of the Milky Way crossed over Yuandu, branching out into tributaries.

Gradually, the Yuandu Divine Treasury began to stabilize, and the boundless light emanating from the portal softened, transforming into a magnificent and mysterious celestial palace, suspended at the highest point of the inner universe.

The Divine Treasury of Yuandu has been successfully opened!

Qi Shi'an's internal universe became more stable, and the five divine treasures were connected to form a complete cycle system.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an's three elixirs emitted light, revealing a celestial palace with myriad rays of light. Starlight fell from the Milky Way, the Heavenly River flowed around the city, and the divine light of the four poles converged into Yuandu from all directions. The Taiji diagram rotated in the sky, like a grand universe layout.

The Great Dao's energy flowed and circulated, and all the Dao resonated, as if the entire world was chanting sutras for him.

The boundless power of the Great Dao rules surged into the Yuandu Divine Treasury, entered the Heavenly Palace, and was melted and unified!

He opened his eyes, and deep within his blood-red gaze, the light and shadow of five divine treasures overlapped layer upon layer, like five heavens stacked together.

The Yuan Du Divine Treasury within his body was operating stably, and the orderly system composed of the five divine treasuries brought his power to a new peak!

"A great battle is imminent; we must upgrade as quickly as possible!"

Qi Shi'an did not leave seclusion, but continued to refine his cultivation while also perfecting the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art.

Chapter 390 The Next Stop is the Lost Sea

On this day, Shi Hao walked in the deepest part of the ancient land of the immortals. The barren land was devoid of any vegetation, with only the mottled marks from countless years past, telling of the past glory.

For several days, his cultivation had stagnated, and he felt slightly restless. He wanted to borrow some inscriptions from the immortal caves in the old land of the immortals, hoping to gain insights through analogy.

"After walking for so long, how come there's not even a trace of a hair?" Shi Hao muttered, his figure moving like lightning as he quickly penetrated the old soil.

Suddenly, a chaotic aura filled the air ahead, surging and rolling, and a cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things appeared, as if it had traversed the past, present, and future, causing time to become disordered.

"Varied······"

Before Shi Hao could react, the cauldron cascaded down with primordial energy, shimmering with nine kinds of immortal golden light and radiating countless rays of divine glow, enveloping him.

"you again!"

Shi Hao's pupils contracted, and his heart trembled, because when he first came to the Imperial Pass, he was sent to the border of the alien realm by this cauldron.

Now that it has reappeared, who knows where it will take him this time...?

Shi Hao asked loudly, "Where are you taking me this time?"

This cauldron has appeared twice, and although the reason is unknown, it has never truly harmed him. Perhaps it is another great opportunity.

The Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things did not answer.

In a daze, the cauldron trembled, radiating unparalleled brilliance. Accompanied by flying fragments of time, it pierced through a passage, carrying him into boundless darkness.

The howling of spacetime currents filled my ears, with occasional stray fragments of stars brushing past, creating a terrifying atmosphere that sent chills down my spine.

Months later, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Imperial Pass, and many cultivators gathered at the city gate to discuss it.

"What?! Huang is gone? Could he have been ambushed by powerful beings from another realm?"

"That's not the case. I was thousands of miles away when I saw with my own eyes a hazy chaos enveloping the wilderness. Then, a flash of golden light appeared, and it disappeared without a trace."

"Moreover, the aura emanating from that chaos is in no way inferior to that of the Immortal King!"

Someone spoke up and recounted what they had seen at the time.

The younger generation who were on good terms with Shi Hao gathered in the restaurant, all with solemn expressions. Qin Hao got up to explore the old land of the immortals, but Shi Yi pressed his shoulder down.

"Don't panic. That kid is tougher than you. He managed to escape when he was surrounded and killed in the Heavenly Beast Forest. He'll definitely be lucky this time too."

Shi Yi spoke with certainty, but his gaze involuntarily drifted to the distant sky, unable to conceal the anxiety in his heart.

"So, Brother Qi has been in seclusion all this time? Aren't you worried?" Cao Yusheng asked.

"I did go and inform him, but after hearing the detailed description, he remained completely calm, only saying 'That's his destiny,' and then went into seclusion again." The witch shook her head.

“I have a bad feeling. Brother Qi, do you know who that person with the desolation is?” Cao Yusheng racked his brains, but couldn’t come up with a clue.

"Alas, there's no use thinking so much. At least Brother Huang's soul lamp hasn't gone out yet," Chang Gongyan sighed.

······

Several nights later, in a secret room, a figure in black robes slowly rose, pushed open the stone door, turned his neck, and looked towards the direction of the foreign land.

"Hey, after being in seclusion for so many days, it's time to go out and stretch my muscles."

The figure in black robes stretched and took a step forward. Ripples appeared in the air beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the gates of the Imperial Pass.

Then, the altar in front of the city gate lit up, its dazzling light engulfing the figure in black robes.

In the next instant, he found himself outside the Great Wall, in the Gobi Desert thousands of miles away.

He didn't say goodbye to anyone, but carved some characters in the secret room and left on his own.

With a major battle imminent, every minute and second is precious, and everyone is actively preparing for the war.

Everyone knew that after annihilating the alien army that day, the alien immortals would not swallow their anger.

Most of the alien races are warlike, and since the last era, they have always been the victors, and they will never allow defeat to occur!

These days appear calm on the surface, but the atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense, with undercurrents surging beneath.

It was so quiet; there had never been such a quiet time in history.

In the past, there would be small battles every day or major battles every three days; there had never been a truce for so long.

It was like the calm before the storm!

"Let's explore some uncharted territories first, hoping to find more hidden treasures there."

The next moment, a black figure used a speed technique to head northeast. His figure was as fast as lightning, leaving only a series of afterimages swaying in the void.

Beyond the borderlands lies a vast and boundless land, containing numerous secret realms and forbidden areas, such as the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, the Heavenly Beast Forest, and the Ancient Burial Domain. These places hold many great opportunities, and related legends have long circulated within the Imperial Pass.

At the edge of the Northeast lies a strange sea with an extremely harsh environment. The spacetime folds within the sea are dense, and the laws of space are disordered. Its danger level is second only to the Calamity Land!

Even the most powerful beings can easily get lost in it, hence it is called the Lost Sea.

Legend has it that beneath the seabed of that region lie the wreckage of warships from the Immortal Ancient Era, along with the legacies, elixirs, and fragments of magical artifacts left behind by powerful beings.

However, throughout history, all the cultivators who attempted to explore and search for the treasure have never returned; no one has ever actually brought back any treasure, so the legend has never been verified.

Soon, the Lost Sea finally appeared at the edge of the horizon, with a layer of colorful mist covering the boundless sea.

The mist surged and twisted, each surge accompanied by the sound of space shattering, then healing, only to disintegrate again, in an endless cycle.

Qi Shi'an stood before the Lost Sea and summoned a level-one escape magic artifact. The moment the artifact entered, it was instantly pulverized by the invisible spatial force.

"Even a level-one magic artifact can't last a breath on the outskirts. The chaos here is far beyond what we expected. It seems the rumors are true; no one has ever successfully brought out any treasures from here."

Qi Shi'an muttered to himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Although this place was extremely dangerous, the great fortune within might not have been discovered by anyone.

He was glowing, with runes covering his body, forming layers of light that enveloped him. He also summoned the Starfall Mountain to protect himself.

The next moment, Qi Shi'an stepped into the mist. The void beneath his feet was like a fragile ice surface, and every step he took created spiderweb-like cracks.

After walking a hundred paces, the fog ahead suddenly thickened, and a spatial fold, like an invisible blade, cleaved straight at their face.

hum!

Qi Shi'an glowed brightly, raised his fist and threw it out. The fist imprint transformed into a Qilin and moved, colliding with the spatial folds, producing a deafening roar. Divine light splashed out, completely dispelling the surrounding mist.

Boom!

Hundreds of massive cracks spread outwards, accompanied by flying fragments of space, creating a deafening roar and immense power that made the entire world tremble.

"It's really strange. No wonder even the Supreme One doesn't dare to explore it."

Qi Shi'an frowned. The moment he stepped into the Lost Sea, he encountered a spatial law upheaval.

He mobilized the divine treasures within his body, directly unleashing a galaxy of stars, each formed from runes. They instantly appeared, transforming into ten thousand divine swords that cleaved the heavens and earth, splitting open nine layers of the universe.

Chi!

Ten thousand divine swords pierced the void, their sword energy crisscrossing and unstoppable. In an instant, hundreds of large cracks shattered, the misty fog dissipated, and chaos was completely annihilated.

Breaking through the turbulent currents, Qi Shi'an transformed into a stream of light, passing through the shattered void, and headed towards the depths of the Lost Sea.

After traveling an unknown distance, he discovered that the spatial turbulence he encountered was gradually decreasing, and the colorful mist was thinning, revealing a tranquil sea area unlike any he had ever heard of before.

The sea here is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the starry sky, a stark contrast to the raging storm just moments before.

Qi Shi'an looked around warily; the place was too calm, which made it seem eerie.

He walked slowly on the waves, each step leaving faint ripples of light on the surface of the sea. After walking about three thousand miles, a huge shadow appeared on the seabed ahead.

Qi Shi'an opened his Heavenly Eye and stared intently. It was a purple warship, shrouded in black mist, slowly floating up.

Although the runes on the ship's surface had faded, they still exuded a terrifying aura, like an ancient behemoth lurking, making one's heart tremble.

"This is······"

Qi Shi'an's eyes narrowed slightly. Without hesitation, he quickly leaped into the sky and summoned the Martial Heavenly Palace, which hovered above his head. The Starfall Mountain surrounded his body, releasing rays of immortal light that enveloped him.

The purple warship broke through the water, its massive hull blocking out the sunlight. Seawater formed from spatial fragments poured down its hull, creating a roaring waterfall-like sound.

This warship was far more massive than imagined. Qi Shi'an stood above the hull, looking as tiny as a speck of dust. It was hard to imagine who had built it.

After the warship fully surfaced, it remained motionless, its hull emitting a deep purple light.

The deck was completely empty, not even a skeleton; it was unnaturally clean.

Qi Shi'an extended his divine sense, but could not penetrate the runes on the surface of the ship. Those runes formed a natural barrier, isolating his divine sense from the outside.

He lowered himself and landed on the bow of the ship. He felt a solid texture beneath his feet. He didn't know what material the ship was made of. It was like metal or stone, or like strange ancient wood. When he tapped on it, it made a clanging sound. It was indestructible.

After walking for dozens of miles, the deck suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark hole.

A putrid smell wafted from the cave entrance, carrying a heavy stench of blood, accompanied by wisps of black mist that sent chills down one's spine.

"What a terrifying aura! Could it be that some powerful expert from another realm died inside?"

Qi Shi'an did not rush in. The ship was full of strange things, and judging from the black mist rising from below the cave entrance, it was undoubtedly a dark creature from another world.

This warship most likely belongs to another realm, but it is unknown why it was buried here, or why no skeletons were found.

Qi Shi'an bypassed the cave entrance and traveled for a hundred miles before finding a place covered in blood.

There is an ancient temple there, its stone gate pitted and uneven, as if it had been hit hard. There are axe marks and sword holes on it, and a pool of blood flows around it, which has not dried up to this day.

In an instant, Qi Shi'an felt a chill run down his spine. Through those holes and marks, he felt an overwhelming killing intent pressing in, which made him feel a domineering aura and a fighting spirit.

Those must have been left by unparalleled masters. The traces of their battle remain to this day, still conveying an unimaginable aura, appearing across time and space.

"Indeed, this is the blood of an immortal!"

Qi Shi'an frowned and used his Heavenly Eye to look at the pool of blood. At first, it was crimson, then it turned into five colors, with surging blood energy and an overwhelming aura!

Boom!

Suddenly, the sound of sacrificial chants emanated from the ancient temple, followed by the sound of sutra recitation, which seemed to come from ancient times, grand and desolate.

Then, the multicolored blood on the ground began to rise, disappearing into the stone gate, radiating purple light, and outlining ancient patterns.

"Da da..."

Qi Shi'an was horrified to discover that footsteps were coming from the ancient temple, as if they were coming from the ends of the earth, slowly approaching!

His expression was serious. He retreated hundreds of feet away, holding two immortal artifacts in front of him, and a Dingyuan Blade appeared in his palm, ready for battle.

boom!
