Long Meili would have never thought that she would submit to a human. Before meeting Jiu Shen, she was even confident that she would one day rule the whole of Nuar with her identity as a dragon descendant, but who knew that she would meet such an extremely terrifying man that was able to defeat her without expending much strength.

The difference in their strength was like comparing mud to a diamond; the gulf in their strength was just too large that she couldn't even fathom the depths of Jiu Shen's power.

Looking at Jiu Shen's lean and handsome figure, she found it hard to believe that hidden behind his striking facade was a strength that could only make others submit. She was lucky enough to have gained Jiu Shen's acknowledgment or she would have ended as his food. Recalling how Jiu Shen cooked a piece of her meat earlier, she could only smile wryly in her heart.

Jiu Shen turned around and flew slowly towards the sky. "Don't take too long to break through to the Nascent God Realm. I might need your strength soon..." His indifferent voice traveled in Long Meili's ears causing her to feel slightly shocked at his words.

I wonder what master needs my strength for? Well, no matter what it is, I will follow every word he says.

Long Meili stared at Jiu Shen's receding figure with respect and veneration, it was only when she could no longer see his back that she started recuperating her injuries.

"This place has an abundant amount of true essence. Cultivating one day here is the same as cultivating one week in my previous lair, such a huge difference! Anyway, I should heal my injuries now and consolidate my strength before attempting to break through. With all the resources that master gave me, if I still can't achieve a break through, then I might as well offer myself to him to be cooked."

Jiu Shen stepped out of the Spirit World and was once again within the central part of the Endless Forest. Looking at the chaotic mess in front of him, he felt even more guilty for Long Meili.

"I should go back to the store. I still have to concoct the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill for Sulan, and I might as well tell her more about her Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body. As for Can Ye, I will also tell him about his Peerless Saber Divine Body." Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he waved his right hand, causing a rift in space to break open. He then jumped inside the rift without further hesitation.

Although Jiu Shen was only at the late stage of the 9th-rank Saint realm, he had the Seamless Deity Physique that was never been seen even in the Primordial God Realm. With his comprehension and deep understanding of the spatial element, it was not a problem for him to partially control the power of space. Although the element of space he could control at this instant was nothing in comparison to his former self, it was still more than sufficient to traverse thousands of miles with a mere flick of his hands. As to why he didn't use this power when he was searching for the ingredients for his wine, it was because he wanted to roam and see for himself the scenery of this mortal world. Shallow as it may be, he just wanted to once again experience the beauty of nature since the last millions of years of his life was spent to slowly die in the cold and dark God Sealing Tower.

Right in front of Jiu Shen's store, a man with long silver hair came out of a rift in space, stunning Hestia, Lu Sulan, and Can Ye. Only Theia remained calm, but she still felt a slight surprise in her heart. Of course, this man was none other Jiu Shen.

"Master!"

"Master."

They called out promptly after seeing him walking out from a rift in space. How could they not be shocked at this inconceivable scene? From their knowledge, only those who had achieved godhood could control this mysterious element.

Jiu Shen waved his right hand after hearing their greetings and spoke in a calm voice. "All of you go inside first."

Lu Sulan and the other three were bewildered but they still followed behind Jiu Shen with curious looks. They had seen him streaking towards the dragon earlier, and moments after he confronted the dragon, the creature vanished into thin air. They wanted to ask what had happened to the dragon, did Jiu Shen managed kill it? Or did the dragon escape after Jiu Shen came to confront it?

All sorts of thoughts flashed in their heads, but they truly had no idea what had happened. Such a powerful creature disappeared just like that, but they knew that it must've something to do with Jiu Shen.

After everyone was already inside, Jiu Shen took a glance at them and said. "Hestia, Theia, you may go back to your rooms and take a rest. As for you two... Sit down."

Theia and Hestia bowed at Jiu Shen and went to their rooms respectively, while Lu Sulan and Can Ye sat down with perplexed gazes.

"Master, what happened to the dragon?" Lu Sulan could not help but ask, she was truly curious about this.

Jiu Shen fixed his gaze at her and replied indifferently. "You'll know soon. Just keep quiet and listen to what I have to say. What I'm going to tell you both is important since it's related to your future."

After hearing their master's words, the two immediately went silent and looked at him intently. When the two heard that it was related to their future, they swallowed down their curiosity and waited for Jiu Shen to speak. Just what was their master going to tell them?

When he saw their expressions, Jiu Shen let out a faint smile. After awakening the lost passion in himself during his fight with Long Meili, Jiu Shen decided to no longer restrain his personality. He might as well go with the flow and accept what may come his way.
