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

The celestial music continued, each note transforming into an invisible aura that surrounded Qi Shi'an. Before the zither, a phantom sat quietly, now looking up at him.

"How many eras have passed tonight?"

A soft voice drifted out and reached Qi Shi'an's ears, giving him a jolt.

"Replying to Senior, countless years have passed since the Immortal Era, and this era has come to an end," Qi Shi'an replied.

Upon hearing this, the other party fell silent for a moment, then sighed and gazed towards the gate to the Immortal Realm.

"Is the Immortal Realm still the same as before?" the woman asked.

"As always, the gates to immortality have not been opened."

After she finished speaking, the woman remained silent for a long time, still gazing in the direction of the Immortal Realm. Her gaze seemed to pierce through countless star debris and shattered void, as if she could see through eternity to the tightly closed Immortal Gate.

Qi Shi'an stood there silently, feeling the sorrow around him grow even stronger.

"Endless years...at the end..."

The woman repeated these two sentences in a low voice, her voice as faint as a wisp of smoke.

She looked down at her hands; her fingers were transparent, with only a wisp of remnant soul barely forming an outline. She gently clenched her fist and then released it, shaking her head self-deprecatingly: "In the end, nothing has changed."

"If you wish to return to your homeland, I am willing to open the gates to immortality for you!" Qi Shi'an said, cupping his hands in greeting.

He possesses the Martial Heavenly Gate, which can open the Northern Heavenly Gate of the Immortal Realm.

The woman shook her head: "They locked the door themselves back then. Even if you can open it, you can't change their will."

“If you can wait, senior, I will definitely send you back to your hometown in the future and bury the ancient coffin in your native land,” Qi Shi’an said sincerely.

The woman only glanced at him, but Qi Shi'an felt as if he were being stared at by a sea of ​​stars, and the heavy feeling made his back bend slightly.

But he did not bow his head; his gaze met that illusory figure, open and resolute.

"To receive the true teachings of Wu Tian is truly a sign of great fortune and exceptional talent." The woman nodded, then said to Qi Shi'an, "I can pass on all my methods to you. When you reach the summit one day, send me home."

"May I ask, senior, where is the path back to the Immortal Realm?" Qi Shi'an asked.

"My name is Pan Li, and I am a descendant of King Pan!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman's body emitted beams of celestial light, dazzling and radiant, which went straight into Qi Shi'an's brow.

In an instant, several peerless immortal scriptures appeared in Qi Shi'an's mind, including the Burial Song of Immortals created by a woman, and the immortal scriptures of the Pan family in the Immortal Realm!

These are all supreme scriptures; the appearance of even one copy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would be enough to astound the world.

What Qi Shi'an least expected was that this woman was actually a descendant of Pan Wang, a top-tier Immortal King in the Immortal Realm with unfathomable strength.

"I will remember your great kindness, senior. When I reach the pinnacle one day, I will personally open the gate to the immortal realm and send your coffin back home!" Qi Shi'an bowed, paying the highest respect to the woman who had protected all living beings in the ancient immortal realm.

"This is a piece of divine medicine that I found when I was exploring the burial site. No one knows about it, so I'm giving it to you now."

The ancient coffin trembled, and a beam of white light flew out from it, carrying a medicinal herb that looked like moldy, rotten firewood. It appeared ordinary and had no trace of being a divine medicine.

"This is... the Three Lives Medicine!" Qi Shi'an's eyes shone with astonishing light, his heart filled with shock.

He never expected that Pan Li would have a perfectly intact Three Lives Herb, and that she would even give it to him!

It should be noted that this is a legendary medicinal herb, with only one or two plants ever unearthed throughout the ages.

"Senior, this... is far too precious. Why don't you use it yourself?" Qi Shi'an asked, slightly puzzled.

Legend has it that several legendary elixirs from ancient times require the use of the Three-Life Medicine as a catalyst, which is of great use even to powerful beings at the Immortal King level.

If Pan Li had used it to refine a great elixir back then, perhaps he wouldn't have died and ended up lying in a coffin.

"Nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart!"

Pan Li only said one sentence, but Qi Shi'an understood what she meant.

"Sigh, I'm tired."

Pan Li said no more, and the illusory figure began to dissipate, turning into wisps of immortal light and returning to the ancient coffin.

"I only hope that in the future, I can see peace throughout the land, so that I can rest in peace and return to my homeland..."

Qi Shi'an's gaze was resolute as he affirmed, "That day will come!"

Rumble!

The nine-headed celestial phoenix cried out to the sky, pulling the ancient coffin through the void, traversing the vast starry sky, until it disappeared from sight and headed towards the deeper darkness of the starry sky.

That familiar voice came from the coffin again, carrying an unyielding obsession.

"Going home...going home..."

Qi Shi'an stood there, watching the ancient coffin disappear into the distance, motionless for a long time.

He knew that the remnant soul had fallen into a deep sleep, waiting for the day when a promise would be fulfilled.

"I should go too."

Qi Shi'an, his thoughts racing and burdened by cause and effect, embarked on his journey home.

The Immortal Realm is many times larger than the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with billions of miles of rivers and mountains stretching across it, shrouded in immortal mist, with boundless land and magnificent mountains and rivers that cannot be seen at a glance!

Panwang City is a true Immortal King City and one of the largest ancient cities in the Immortal Realm. No one dares to run wild here. It has existed since ancient times and has flourished for countless eras.

It is so huge that the sun, moon, and stars revolve around it. It is like the center of the world, where the sun, moon, and other things are just fireflies, mere embellishments.

This is Panwang City, suspended in the universe, radiating invincible power, containing an indestructible force, shaking the past and present, and enduring through the ages.

At this moment, in an ancient cave in Panwang City, a towering figure was shrouded in chaotic energy, dressed in an old Taoist robe, blurry and ethereal.

"Hmm? Why does a strange sadness well up in my heart today?" Pan Wang frowned, puzzled.

A powerful figure at his level would sit cross-legged on a futon like a god, motionless, sometimes for tens of thousands of years without uttering a single word, silently comprehending the Great Dao.

It is rare for such sorrow to well up in one's heart as it does today. The so-called Immortal King is almost ruthless in the Dao, with a firm Dao heart that extinguishes many of the emotions of a living being, and is not easily affected.

But today I can't help but feel sad, my heart aches, as if someone close to me is on the verge of death.

"Could it be you? Li'er..." Pan Wang murmured to himself, a memory of that unforgettable junior rising in his heart.

······

On the way back, Qi Shi'an sat cross-legged in the ancient temple on the warship, comprehending the Dao and cultivating himself. He absorbed the essence of the many immortal scriptures taught by Pan Li and integrated them into the methods he created.

At this moment, the five divine treasures within the body are operating continuously, and all kinds of methods are gathered into the Yuandu Divine Treasure, flowing through the Milky Way, the Heavenly River, and the Four Extreme Heavens, and finally converging in the spiritual embryo!

His physical body became more compact under the tempering of the scriptures, his bone density increased, his flesh and blood activity improved, and his primordial spirit also became more solidified.

His cultivation level did not skyrocket, but it steadily increased!

As the first rays of dawn appeared, they were exceptionally brilliant, bathing the entire desert in a pale golden glow.

It was a bright and sunny morning.

At this moment, a man in white and two funeral attendants descended from the sky on auspicious clouds, followed by a group of quiet children with glistening tear stains on their dirty faces.

The man in white gazed back with a hint of melancholy.

Recalling the strange experiences of this journey, I was taken from the ancient land of immortals to the edge of a foreign realm by a cauldron of the mother qi of all things, where I completed the laws of the Dao, robbed many treasures, and killed many living beings.

This is why the foreign land is so peaceful.

At the same time, the man in white also met the Gu Zu who had defected years ago and learned the truth about the Immortal Ancient.

After being pursued by the aliens, they fled all the way and finally escaped from the sea waterfall with Shenming and Sanzang. They then traveled around the immortal realm, met the creatures of that primitive imperial city, and took a group of children with them.

Although the man in white did not understand why the cauldron would send him to a foreign land, the bizarre and wonderful things he encountered along the way made him realize some things.

Chapter 394 Returning to the Imperial Pass

On the walls of the Imperial Pass, there is an area where one can look out over the vast desert, and many skilled warriors in armor patrol the area every day.

"The enemy is attacking!"

Soon, someone became alert and shouted, because they saw a group of people, numbering several hundred, on the horizon.

Compared to the massive armies that are mobilized at any time, this number of troops is nothing, but it is of great significance. After a period of peace, the alien creatures are finally going to attack the Imperial Pass again!

"Waaah..."

As the horn sounded, everyone in the area stood solemnly, clad in armor, weapons in hand, ready for battle, their gazes fixed coldly on the vast desert.

People inside the Imperial Pass also sensed that the atmosphere had been off lately, like the calm before a storm, as if a terrifying event was about to erupt at any moment.

"Only a few hundred people, that's... a group of children?!" Someone opened their third eye on their forehead and immediately noticed the anomaly.

"Wait, who did I see? Huang, I actually saw Huang, walking with a group of children!" someone shouted.

Recently, there have been rumors that Huang triggered a restriction in the ancient land of the immortals and was teleported to the border of another realm. There, he wreaked havoc and caused chaos, and finally flew away, escaping from that ancient realm.

Furthermore, waves of turmoil are constantly rising in the city. The news of Huang's accidental teleportation to another realm and his rampage has once again caused a huge sensation. And now... he has actually reappeared!

"Huang is back!" someone shouted, causing an uproar that shook the city guards in the distance.

The news spread like wildfire, sweeping across the area and rapidly reaching the city.

"He's back?!" Upon receiving the news, Cao Yusheng rushed to the city wall and gazed into the distance.

Upon hearing the news, the Jade Rabbit of the Moon overturned the alchemy furnace and rushed over.

Qi Hong, Zhe Xian, Shi Yi, the Ten-Crown King, and other young supreme beings, as well as the older generation, were all stunned.

A large group of people rushed towards the city gate!

At this moment, Huang returned with a group of children. The children were dressed in simple clothes, their animal skin clothes were torn and had holes, and their old clothes were stained with blood.

Many people are wondering, where did this come from? Could it be from some foreign land?

When Shi Hao arrived at the foot of the city, he looked up and saw the imperial city soaring into the clouds, stretching as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.

"Huang, you're finally back!" Cao Yusheng laughed and waved from above.

"Shi Hao, you've been gone for months! I thought you'd gotten lost somewhere!" The little rabbit shook the Qilin cub, shouting and yelling in a very unladylike manner.

Many people were very worried when they heard the news of Huang's disappearance, and were even more terrified when they learned that he had been transported to another realm.

Huang and the little demon are on the Book of Life and Death in that other realm. If they accidentally appear in that ancient world, they will definitely be hunted down.

Now that they have witnessed Huang's return, a weight has been lifted from their hearts.

“Huang, although you have returned, we still need to perform our routine duties and investigate everything about you before we can open the door,” a commander-level officer said.

"Understood, you can handle this officially."

Shi Hao wasn't angry, because this was normal. If someone who might be a spy were allowed into the city, that would be child's play.

"Investigate!"

A commander on the city wall gave an order, and a divine light shone down, illuminating Shi Hao's entire body.

"No abnormalities found, he can be allowed to enter the country!"

The examination was completed quickly, and under the protection of the magic array, Shi Hao was found to be perfectly normal.

"We also need to bring them along."

Shi Hao pointed to a group of children. These ragged children were all silent, following quietly behind him.

“Who are they? Are they from another land? I’m afraid that won’t do!” Someone shook their head; they couldn’t be allowed to pass.

"Their fathers were heroes, and these children are descendants of warriors from the Primitive Imperial City! For so many years, they have been holding back the iron hooves of foreign lands!" Shi Hao shouted, his voice filled with emotion.

"Does that city still exist?"

"Are there still any living creatures inside?"

Clearly, many people in the Imperial Pass also know about that imperial city!

"How can you prove it?" a commander-in-chief asked urgently.

“Many of them, like me, have unique markings on their foreheads, and their bloodlines are the same,” Shi Hao said, instructing the children to channel their magical power and manifest the runes on their foreheads.

boom!

At this moment, many children shone, and brilliant lines appeared on their foreheads, like flames burning and pulsating.

"Crime..." Someone started to speak, but then abruptly stopped, not daring to utter the last word.

Because the little devil once said that anyone who dared to talk about the words 'sinful blood' in the imperial city would be punished by him.

Even though the little devil isn't in the imperial city, no one dares to talk about him casually. His current prestige is comparable to that of some clan leaders.

"Activate the bone mirror and shine it with divine light. If there is nothing unusual, invite them all in!"
