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

In an instant, another black flower bud appeared on the Myriad Paths Tree, and on a cluster of rune leaves, the Nine Nether Hound Diagram was quite mysterious.

The Nine Nether Hound roared to the sky, its nine dragon-like tails acting like divine chains of order, drawing upon the essence of heaven and earth. Once the essence of heaven and earth was completely absorbed, the world came to its end.

This is the Nine Netherworld Annihilation Diagram, engraved on the rune leaves of the Myriad Paths Tree!

"It's time to go. Go find Elder Tao Ye, then return to Butian Pavilion."

They had been observing, believing that Elder Tao Ye had not left, because their actions at Baiduan Mountain had now spread.

The Heaven-Mending Pavilion must protect the two of them and not allow any other forces to persecute them.

Three days passed, and Duankong City became deserted. Apart from a few powerful individuals, all the geniuses from various races had left.

They had been fighting in the Hundred Broken Mountains for more than a month. The time had been too long, and they had been constantly on edge. They were exhausted and just wanted to return to their tribe to rest and recuperate.

For the past three days, Tao Ye has been searching for Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao, fearing that they may have been kidnapped.

Just then, he saw two strong young men walking towards him and saying something that startled him: "Hey, uncle, want to buy a sword?"

"I only want the cursed sword, nothing else."

"make a deal!"

Shi Hao smiled and blinked his big eyes.

Qi Shi'an casually glanced around, ready to unleash the Moro Peak technique to quickly kill any enemies if he was discovered.

"You two brats!"

Tao Ye was overjoyed and immediately pulled them into the garden, returning to their residence.

Before he could even rest for a moment, he immediately set out several special talisman bones, took out a small altar, chanted incantations, and performed a sacrifice.

With a "whoosh," a brilliant passage appeared in the void, leading to the distance.

Tao Ye used his magic to pull everyone up and quickly enter the passage. Then, with a flash of light, they all disappeared from the spot.

"Senior, why are you in such a hurry? Is someone trying to ambush us?" a senior brother asked, puzzled.

"Nobody cares about us, but there are two troublemakers here that we really like. We're planning to catch them and keep them in cages as pure-blooded ferocious beasts," Tao Ye joked with a smile.

Shi Hao's eyes widened in anger. "I haven't even caught the True Hou, Taotie, or Yazi yet, and people are already eyeing me. Suppress them all!"

"If you dare to come, I'll directly carve out your precious bones, refine your precious blood, and stew your precious medicine!"

Qi Shi'an was quite disdainful. A group of people were hiding from them in Baiduan Mountain, but they dared to act arrogantly towards him outside. He would use them all as food to help him grow one day.

Upon hearing the two men's boastful words, Tao Ye not only did not refute them, but was also delighted, his face beaming with joy.

Because he had heard that the two vicious children had dug up the Fountain of Immortality three feet deep, leaving not even a grain of sand behind, and had completely emptied it.

The two children roamed freely throughout the entire herb garden, wreaking havoc on countless herbs and picking almost all of them. Like an ancient drought demon, they left nothing but barren land wherever they went.

Even he felt it was outrageous, let alone others.

A flash of light illuminated the passage, and the group quickly reached the end, standing in the forbidden area of ​​the Heaven-Mending Pavilion—the ancient garden where spirits cultivated.

"I'm finally back!"

Tao Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't encountered any unexpected events along the way, otherwise he would have been a sinner of the Butian Pavilion.

When news of their return spread, the higher-ups of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion were alarmed. A group of people appeared, simply because they learned that the two vicious children had packed up all the sand from the Fountain of Immortality and taken it away.

When people talk about this now, they can't help but laugh and cry. These two kids are so mischievous; Baiduan Mountain has practically become their playground.

Chapter 67 The Ultimate Realm of Spirit Transformation

The sacrificial spirit is withered and charred yellow. It has lived since ancient times, which is too long. Now it lacks vitality and will pass away in the coming years if nothing unexpected happens.

For many years, Butian Pavilion has been trying every means to preserve its life and enable it to live a long life, but the results have been unsatisfactory.

However, this time they collected some rare spiritual items and planned to use them all, along with the mud and sand nourished by the Fountain of Immortality, to maximize their effect.

Qi Shi'an contributed a lot of spiritual medicines, all of which he believed might increase lifespan. He even brought out two drops of the Divine Liquid of the Myriad Dao Tree, a treasure comparable to a sacred medicine.

As for whether it will have any effect, he didn't know, after all, the Divine Elixir of the Myriad Paths Tree hadn't reached the point where it could reverse death and bring the dead back to life.

After Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao contributed some spiritual herbs, they disappeared in a flash.

Shi Hao went to the Scripture Pavilion, wanting to see what other bone books and magical techniques were inside.

After meeting Ah Jin and receiving the treasure, Qi Shi'an went into seclusion to cultivate and prepare to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

His constant battles and treasure hunts in the Hundred Broken Mountains allowed him to gain profound insights into various combat situations, and he soon broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm naturally.

The Spirit Transformation Realm is the third realm for cultivators, and it is also a process of reshaping one's true self.

Everything has a spirit. Every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, every grain of dust has a spirit. The Spirit Transformation Realm is the transformation of all kinds of spirits, shaping the true spirit, and recreating the true self.

This level is different from the past. The transformation is a process from the physical body to the spirit, then to the inner world that connects with the outside world, and finally to the emergence of spirituality.

If one reaches the ultimate level, one can bestow upon the spirit and consciousness within the grotto-heaven, making it seem as if it truly has life.

Reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm requires several major steps. First, the physical body must become a spirit; then, the spirit must be reshaped to become the true self; and finally, the spirit must be nurtured in a grotto-heaven.

Qi Shi'an sat cross-legged on the futon, his mind and body clear and serene, his flesh translucent and radiant, every inch of his flesh and blood exuding a hazy light.

That was the divine light within flesh and blood, transformed from symbols, now shining autonomously as if its spirituality had been ignited.

This ignition is from within, every symbol, every ray of divine light, is constantly evolving, from sword to cauldron, from cauldron to tower, from tower to bell, from bell to the Great Dao Treasure Bottle...

The Tree of Myriad Paths was also spewing out Dao energy, cleansing his physical body. His body was enveloped in a layer of light, making him sacred and transcendent, with a sense of perfect perfection.

"The physical body becomes a spirit!" Qi Shi'an murmured to himself.

At this moment, his spiritual radiance shines forth, from the inside out and from the outside in, without distinction, as one with his whole being.

He sat cross-legged like a deity, a halo forming around his body, drawing spiritual power from the Pure Land and letting it seep into his physical form to temper his true self.

What needs to be done now is to guide the light of wisdom, nourish the spiritual seed, and let it take root and sprout, thereby straightening out every strand of runes in the body, consolidating them, and seeking perfection.

Qi Shi'an possesses the Myriad Trees and is most proficient in understanding runes.

As he studied the runes on the Tree of Myriad Paths, various combinations appeared. His physical body became a spirit, autonomously choosing and continuously arranging the runes within his body, forming a brilliant mark.

Finally, the runes within his body began to follow a pattern, no longer arranged haphazardly. With a thought, the runes, like water, condensed together with his flesh, organs, and bones, truly fusing into one.

However, he was not satisfied with merely becoming a spirit through physical form. The essence he accumulated in the Hundred Broken Mountains was enough for him to break through to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

He has ten thousand trees, so he is not afraid of unstable foundations.

While Qi Shi'an was in seclusion, the outside world was also bustling with activity.

The Butian Pavilion has prepared all the divine materials to revive the gourd vine that survived from ancient times.

Shi Hao had just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm and completed the transformation of his physical body into a spirit when he was asked to leave seclusion and participate in the major event of resurrecting the sacrificial spirit.

In the courtyard, a group of elderly people silently paid their respects. The glory of Butian Pavilion today is all thanks to this gourd vine, which has been protecting it since ancient times, and no one has dared to offend it.

The Heaven-Mending Pavilion offered up all its resources as a sacrifice.

"boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled, runes spread everywhere, and in an instant, the life force within the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was like an ocean, connecting the heavens and the earth.

In the sky, not only was the essence of the sun plundered and transformed into golden divine rivers, but beams of light also cascaded down from the outer star rivers like waterfalls.

Stars shine brightly in the blue sky!

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away, many powerful beings cast their gazes toward the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

The news of the resurrection and renewed strength of the sacrificial spirit spread throughout the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, and countless cheers erupted.

When the outside world learned of this, it caused a great stir. All the major forces in the Boundless Wilderness were shaken and filled with awe.

Everyone thought this old vine would die, after all, it had lived for so long and couldn't hold on any longer, but unexpectedly it survived.

However, Qi Shi'an was still in seclusion at this time. He had completed the final step of nurturing his spirit in his cave and was now seeking the ultimate method.

He has already reached the legendary level of the three steps of the Spirit Transformation Realm: physical body becoming a spirit, reshaping the true self, and nurturing the spirit in the grotto.

What he needs to do now is to break through again, surpass the limit, and take a step that no one before him could take.

In the dim cave, Qi Shi'an's body shimmered with a precious light, like a divine fire dancing, bringing hope and vitality to the silence.

He constantly honed his divine light, continuously summarizing and experimenting, gaining ever deeper insights.

In the end, when he was practicing, the bone script flowed and traveled through his flesh and veins.

It was like countless small towers flowing, like countless small bells resonating, constantly changing, each with a different effect.

When Shenxi transforms into weapons such as knives, spears, swords, and halberds, its attack power will be much stronger; when it transforms into a furnace, its divine power will increase accordingly; when it transforms into heavy artifacts such as cauldrons, bells, and towers, its defensive power will be enhanced.

Different forms, different effects—Qi Shi'an is constantly exploring.

From initial awkwardness to eventual fluency, he could now easily switch between swords, halberds, bells, towers, and cauldrons, even simultaneously.

With each attempt, countless divine lights transformed into different forms, constantly tempering his physical body and spirit.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an was radiating light from his physical body to his primordial spirit, like a divine furnace, stronger than ever before.

He knew that he had successfully broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, undergoing a tremendous transformation from his physical body to his spirit, and then to his laws and principles.

"Oh, right, that animal hide!"

Qi Shi'an had been in seclusion for a long time since he returned, and only now did he remember the ancient beast skin he obtained when he killed the white tiger.

He immediately took it out and examined it carefully, only to find that there was still no difference.

He tried to infuse the runes, and an unexpected thing happened: the ancient beast hide began to shimmer with a dazzling golden light.

The once blank animal hide now has starlight dancing on it, forming mountains and rivers.

"Could it be... that this really is a map?!"

Qi Shi'an was taken aback. He had thought it was just an ordinary animal hide, but who would have thought it was actually a map?

He took the animal skin map and discovered that it did not record the terrain of the wasteland, but the Xuan Domain!

The mountains and rivers are connected in a line, like a great dragon, and the small hole is like a dragon's eye, surrounded by ten bright orbs like the sun, which envelop the dragon's eye.

According to the map, the dragon eye is Langhuan Island in the Xuan Domain, where there is a secret place called Fallen Dragon Valley! And the ten sun-like orbs of light are like the Ten Great Grotto Heavens.

"Langhuan Island, Fallen Dragon Valley? Could it be that, like the Kunpeng Nest, there exists a peerless treasure technique there?!"

"It really came to me without any effort!"

Qi Shi'an was extremely excited at this moment. He guessed that there might be a True Dragon Treasure Technique there, which was an invincible technique.

Unexpectedly, the animal hide they obtained turned out to be a place where the true dragon treasure technique was passed down!

"Let's put the matter of the True Dragon Treasure Technique aside for now; it's time to emerge from seclusion!"

Qi Shi'an raised his eyes, closed his eyes for a while, and not only broke through his realm, but also obtained the location of Fallen Dragon Valley. He was happy just thinking about it.

At this point, he was ready to attempt to break through to the Inscription Realm, but the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was now fraught with danger, and a major battle could break out at any moment.

He pushed open the cave door, startling Ah Jin who was fast asleep.

These days, it has been guarding the door for its owner, preventing anyone from disturbing it.

Upon seeing its owner emerge from seclusion, it immediately rushed over and rubbed against his face, making him very itchy.

"Has anyone come looking for me these days?"

Qi Shi'an stroked A Jin's fur and calmly asked.

"Roar..." (That little one only came once.)

"Let's go then. Let's find Qingfeng first. Little one might still be in seclusion cultivating. I wonder if he has made any breakthroughs."

Qi Shi'an stretched and rode Ah Jin slowly toward Qingfeng's residence.

He spent more than three months cultivating after returning to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, and during this time, Ah Jin told him about what had happened.

Upon hearing that the old vine had been revived for over a month, Qi Shi'an frowned deeply: "Could it really be working?"

He wasn't sure if the sacrificial spirit had truly regained some vitality; he only knew that the old vine was too old, and even if it had revived, it probably wouldn't live for long.

However, he still hoped that the spirit could live a few more years, so that it could make more preparations.

Furthermore, half a month ago, Shi Yi returned to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and successfully entered the Ancient Sacred Academy a few days ago, causing a great sensation.

Everyone was astonished, because no one had entered it for many years.

Once you enter this path, as long as you don't die young, you have a very high chance of becoming a saint in the future.

Qi Shi'an was also quite interested in the Ancient Holy Academy. He knew what was inside. The Holy Academy not only contained the Daoist charm and imprints left by the saints, but also the Golden Body Liquid used for physical baptism.
