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

Qi Shi'an smiled faintly, "This time I will take you up to the Nine Heavens, where you can improve rapidly. Once you are strong enough, you can also try your luck in the borderlands, where there are many hidden treasures of immortals."

He began to recount his various experiences in the upper realm, answering everyone's questions in advance and telling them what had happened over the years.

This immediately captured everyone's attention, making them both nervous and expectant, because Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao had such rich experiences, often encountering danger and suffering many hardships.

"Are there really so many divine medicines and holy medicines in the Upper Realm? There are even elixirs of immortality! These things are almost impossible to find in the Lower Realm." The Goddess of War was shocked and longed to travel to the Upper Realm.

"There's still a lot of good stuff to come. You'll understand once you get up there," Qi Shi'an said with a smile.

The next day, Shi Hao went to the capital of the Shi Kingdom to visit Qingfeng, while Qi Shi'an stayed in the Butian Pavilion, modifying its environment.

Although he may lead people to the upper realm, it does not mean that he abandons the foundation in the lower realm, because this is everyone's hometown, and its emotional significance is irreplaceable.

At the same time, Qi Shi'an also took the time to guide the Pavilion Master and the elders in their cultivation, and imparted to each of them a method that suited them, in order to prepare for the Upper Realm.

······

Deep within this foreign land, the Immortal Land is shrouded in divine light year-round, holy and peaceful, yet permeated with a subtle yet powerful aura.

At the edge of this area, various divine lights intertwined, isolating the inside from the outside. Inside, gray mist surged, permeating an indescribable eeriness.

In the center of the gray fog, a pitch-black palace stood, its walls cast from some unknown black stone, gleaming with a cold metallic luster.

Inside the hall, several tall and imposing figures sat atop high thrones, their bodies shrouded in chaos. Each figure exuded a terrifying aura, with fragments of time flying about and tiny rivers of light appearing.

One of them was none other than the Immortal King An Lan!

At this moment, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, his face expressionless, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

"The matter has been investigated. The Immortal King who perished together with Lomo back then possessed the power of the Boundary Annihilation Technique!"

Upon hearing this, several gazes in the hall turned icy cold, and a palpable killing intent filled the air.

“That World Destroyer was most likely obtained by Jiutian Huang. It just so happens that he appeared on the border of my realm not long ago. It was probably a trap set up at that time.” An Lan’s eyes were deep and his face was gloomy.

He was furious. He knew that the Heavenly Abyss was about to be destroyed, but instead, the World Annihilation Incense was lit in his own home, catching him off guard and almost destroying his home.

For nearly a year, he had been in seclusion recuperating from his injuries, and having only recovered somewhat, he was already thinking of attacking Tianyuan again.

"What do you want?" Yu Tuo asked, his voice calm but chilling.

“Gather our forces, and next spring, the five of us will strike together to break through the Heavenly Abyss and destroy the Nine Heavens!” An Lan said coldly.

Inside the hall, several immortal kings looked at An Lan at the same time. After a moment of silence, their killing intent grew stronger and stronger without them even noticing.

Especially the Immortal King Yin Hui, whose entire clan was wiped out by the Butcher's arrow because of the destruction of the realm.

Since this grudge cannot be settled with the butcher, then all resentment can only be directed towards the heavens and the earth!

"In this battle, the Nine Heavens will surely perish!" The Immortal King Yin Hui's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.

At the same time, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were no longer peaceful. Various forces were trying to win over the most outstanding talents. Whether it was the Little Heavenly King, the Immortal, the Ten-Crown King, or the Great Sudatta, Qi Gu, and others, they were all invited.

Those who participated in the border war and did not die became the object of great efforts to win over various forces. They were elites who had been tested by blood and fire!

People were initially puzzled as to why these families and traditions of immortality were making such frequent and significant moves.

Several days later, news spread that a grand competition would be held in all the ancient realms!

"Are they crazy? The aliens could attack at any moment, why are they engaging in this kind of battle?"

"It's mostly because the border war has reignited. Many people died in the last war, and they want to use this opportunity to select more elite talents."

"I've heard it's related to a foreign land!" someone speculated.

Whether it's the lofty Nine Heavens or the remote Ten Lands, they all organize duels in their respective ancient lands to select the invincible.

There are young people and middle-aged people, and they are divided into different levels according to the length of their cultivation.

However, the most anticipated event is the showdown between the younger generation.

Just when people were wondering, the mystery was finally solved by someone with a keen eye!

"The gates to the Immortal Realm are about to open!"

Just a few words, yet they shook heaven and earth, leaving everyone dumbfounded and somewhat incredulous.

Many people now know about the Immortal Realm, where true immortals and truly invincible powerhouses reside, and it is the ancestral lineage and source of many Daoist traditions.

That world is countless times larger than the heavens and the earth.

In the past, the lineage of guardians of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths came from the Immortal Realm!

"My God, this is shocking news! No wonder the Longevity Dao lineage has been making frequent big moves; they knew about it in advance!"

"Besides the fact that only a select few can enter, there is another rumor that some of the most powerful lineages in the Immortal Realm also select disciples, choosing the strongest seeds."

These messages shocked the world, and everyone understood why there had been undercurrents of unrest recently.

Of course, some people have offered different ideas.

Inside the ancestral altar, several invincible figures were discussing matters.

"The gate to the Immortal Realm is about to open? Ridiculous!" Ancestor Tuogu sneered. "The gate didn't open during the great war, but it suddenly appears now. What good intentions could it have?"

The old man Minghe stroked his beard and said, "The Immortal Realm has never cared about the fate of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, otherwise how could the Immortal Ancient Realm have suffered such a great defeat? Now that they have chosen to open the Immortal Gate, they must have something in mind!"

"The little devil once said that the Heavenly Abyss above his head contains the methods laid down by the kings of the Immortal Realm."

The old man Qingmu pondered for a moment, "Could it be because the last time the Immortal King attacked, those methods were accidentally obliterated, which is why the Immortal Realm has to mobilize?"

"Whether he is or not, he has ill intentions, so we must be prepared." Ancestor Tuogu said solemnly.

Once the gates to the Immortal Realm open, countless talented young people will flock there.

Even though they had shed blood and risked their lives for this realm, it was ultimately impossible for anyone to become an immortal.

However, the Immortal Realm can provide an environment for becoming an immortal, and for many geniuses, this alone is enough to make them yearn for it.

Chapter 408 People from the Immortal Realm

The news that the gate to the Immortal Realm was about to open spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the land in just a few days.

Everyone was in an uproar, foreshadowing a great opportunity.

What kind of place is the Immortal Realm? For so many years, even the Supreme Beings haven't been able to enter!

But now, a sudden and great opportunity has arisen, allowing those who achieve success to ascend to the Immortal Gate and enter the Immortal Realm.

Soon, the source of the news was identified.

The first to learn of this was the Remnant Immortal. The ancient Remnant Immortal in the Immortal Palace received a revelation: a being projected down from within the gates of the Immortal Realm, manifesting supreme pressure and issuing a decree.

"Finally... finally it's about to begin!"

In a secluded place, a remnant immortal from the Celestial Palace looked up to the sky and roared, venting the pent-up emotions in his heart.

He had waited for this moment for an entire epoch, and finally the immortal realm reopened its gates.

"Sinful blood is still sinful blood. When I return to the Immortal Realm and reshape my immortal body, I will surely cast you all from the Heavenly Realm back into the boundless hell!" The remnant immortal of the Immortal Palace roared in a low voice, his eyes bloodshot, revealing a kind of madness.

How could he not know about the little devil's liberation of the Sin State? But he didn't take action and kept holding back, waiting for this moment.

From that day onward, a contest began across the nine heavens and ten earths, with powerful figures from all sides vying to enter the Immortal Realm.

However, this battle takes place in the spiritual world, such as the spirit realm.

This is similar to the illusory realm of the eight lower realms.

It is said that this rule was likely set by experts from the Immortal Realm themselves, and no one can figure out why the selection takes place in the spiritual world.

"Did I hear that right? The Wang family has a tenth dragon?!"

"Wang Shi has been born?"

Then, another shocking piece of news came out: Wang Changsheng had a tenth son, but he had been sleeping in a deep slumber and was sealed in an ice cave.

Upon learning that the gate to the Immortal Realm was about to open, Wang Changsheng decisively allowed it to be born.

"Not only the Wang family, but also some legendary heroes who died in ancient times have reappeared!"

Everyone was stunned. What was going on? How had the world gone so crazy?

"They haven't appeared for years due to the border wars, but as soon as they heard that the gates to the Immortal Realm were about to open, they stopped hiding altogether!"

In the Guanzhong region, many people are condemning this behavior.

If it weren't for the news of the Immortal Realm, would these powerful figures who had disappeared since ancient times be waiting for the destruction of the Nine Heavens, and then merging with the alien realm, so that they could enter a place where immortality was permitted?

The news caused quite a stir throughout the land and the world, and naturally, it couldn't be kept from Qi Shi'an.

The lineage behind the witch and the dragon girl had already passed down the news long before it spread.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an was lying on a long, snow-white leg, basking in the sunlight, drinking fine wine, and enjoying the service of two women.

The witch looked down at the man resting his head on her lap and asked, "What do you think?"

Qi Shi'an said leisurely, "I estimate that the magic array set up by the kings of the Immortal Realm was accidentally destroyed by An Lan and Yu Tuo, which led them to come out of the mountains."

In his eyes, the kings of the Immortal Realm never had any good intentions towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the eyes of the kings of the Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could always be abandoned, or even destroyed, but they could not be destroyed too early; they had to be left as a buffer zone.

On that day, Anlan and Yutuo launched a full-scale attack, and the last king in the Primordial Imperial City relied on the Heavenly Abyss Law to withstand the impact of the two immortal kings.

Qi Shi'an felt that it was very likely because the impact was too powerful, causing the methods set up by the Immortal Realm to be destroyed.

Only after the kings of the Immortal Realm sensed this did they take action.

"If you ask me, this crippled immortal also has ulterior motives. Even though the Heavenly Abyss hasn't collapsed, he actually didn't convey it to the Immortal Realm." The Dragon Girl pouted, peeled the spiritual fruit in her hand, and stuffed it into Qi Shi'an's mouth.

"Nothing strange about it. Who told the remnant immortal of the Immortal Palace to have such an extraordinary background? He has powerful backers. He can do whatever he wants, and someone will cover for him. Anyway, it's just a decree from an Immortal King," Qi Shi'an said lazily.

He changed the subject, "By the way, how's that red dragon that Little One acquired?"

The witch poured a glass of wine and handed it over, saying leisurely, "What else can you do? You keep shouting 'I am a phoenix without wings.'"

Qi Shi'an chuckled: "That little brat is really something, always coming up with crooked ideas."

Some time ago, Shi Hao took in a disciple in the Void God Realm. The disciple was a red dragon named Ge Gu, but it had been missing the True Dragon Inheritance Technique since childhood.

Shi Hao had a unique way of thinking. He wanted Ge Gu to cultivate both the True Dragon Technique and the True Phoenix Technique, so he first taught him the True Phoenix Technique.

The difficulty for a dragon to cultivate the Phoenix Secret Technique is unimaginable. It must first forget its own identity and regard itself as a phoenix in order to successfully cultivate.

"Do you want to go to the Immortal Realm?" Qi Shi'an suddenly asked.

The dragon girl shook her head: "Wherever you go, I will go."

"Don't go!"

The witch was even more decisive. Having followed Qi Shi'an for so long, she knew his personality inside and out. Her sudden question clearly indicated that she wanted to send the two of them to the Immortal Realm.

"To be honest, this world will soon enter the Dharma-ending Age, and the heavens and earth will wield their blades to reap the lives of cultivators."

Qi Shi'an sat up straight, his expression becoming serious. "At that time, even supreme experts can only live for ten thousand years, and only one supreme expert can be born in a single generation."

"Are you really confident that you can withstand the trials and tribulations of the world?"

He was certain of his own potential to become an immortal in the mortal world, but the witch and the dragon girl might not be so sure.

"You...you want us to go to the Immortal Realm?" The Dragon Girl's face turned pale, and her heart trembled.

"I didn't send you now. You can temper yourselves in the mortal world, and then I'll send you to the Immortal Realm, which is where you will become immortals."

Qi Shi'an had already planned to let the Dragon Girl and the Demoness experience the mortal world with him, and then open the Northern Heavenly Gate to send them there.

"Your path no longer lies in the Nine Heavens!"

The two women remained silent. They both knew that, given Qi Shi'an's personality, he would eventually send them to the Immortal Realm, while they would choose to stay in this world.

"But I... don't want to leave your side," the dragon girl whispered.

"Don't worry, I have the Martial Heaven Gate. This former northern gate of the Immortal Realm will be your gateway to the Immortal Realm."

"You mean... you can open the gate to the Immortal Realm at any time?!" The witch seized on the key point.

Qi Shi'an nodded, making no attempt to hide anything: "That's right, and I've already found the location of the North Heavenly Gate. As long as the Martial Heavenly Gate is embedded, the gate to the Immortal Realm can be opened."

“There is still some time before the end of the Dharma era. The reason I am discussing this with you today is to prepare you mentally.”

"How long have we been gone?" The dragon girl's voice trembled.

"From the moment you stepped into the Immortal Realm, within a thousand years!" Qi Shi'an smiled slightly, "After you become immortals, we can be together forever, can't we?"

The Dragon Girl and the Witch couldn't refute it; they were indeed not confident that they could become immortals in the Dharma-ending Age, and they did not have the extraordinary talent of Qi Shi'an.

Qi Shi'an lay back down and stretched: "Alright, don't overthink it. There's still a long way to go, let's enjoy the present."
