Chapter 116 - Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon

Jiu Shen stood up from his seat and walked towards Long Meili with calm and unhurried steps. He stopped just right in front of her and extended his right arm and gestured Long Meili to come near him. Jiu Shen was only a few meters away from the Long Meili's sharp claws, but Long Meili didn't even dare harbor any thoughts of attacking Jiu Shen, since all the brutal beatings she had experienced at the hands of Jiu Shen was still freshly engraved in her memory.

After seeing Jiu Shen's gesture, Long Meili was confused about his intentions, but she still dipped her head further, just close enough for Jiu Shen to touch her head.

The moment Jiu Shen touched Long Meili's head, a soul contract instantly appeared in her mind.

'This is... It's actually a soul contract! This kind of profound soul technique is definitely unavailable in the world of Nuar, so how come he knows this kind of never been seen soul technique?' Recalling her earlier speculations about Jiu Shen's identity, she immediately nodded her head inwardly. 'So I was indeed right. This fellow is most likely someone from the Primordial God Realm. Only the Immortals from that place has this level of soul technique. Becoming his servant might not be a bad choice...'

The soul contract is a soul technique used by the Immortals when they want to take someone as their subordinate, but the latter has the choice to reject the contract, so in order for this to be successfully bounded, the two parties involved had to be in mutual agreement.

Long Meili only needed to bind the soul contract to her soul for it to take effect, and although she was slightly reluctant in her heart, she could only helplessly agree to it. She bounded the contract on her soul and it instantly vanished.

The two immediately felt a slight connection between each other after the soul contract was bounded on Long Meili's soul. Now, she can no longer disobey him no matter how she wanted. Furthermore, Jiu Shen can also sense if she harbors evil intentions, but Jiu Shen believed that Long Meili was not stupid enough to do that.

"Recuperate your wounds, but before that... Can you tell me why you failed to achieve godhood?" Jiu Shen asked with an amused look. It was rare for a dragon to fail in ascending to the Nascent God Realm since they were naturally endowed with great talent, not to mention the bloodline inheritance in their memories, so how did Long Meili fail her tribulation lightning?

Tribulation lightning is the punishment of the heavens to someone who was going against the heaven's will. Apparently, the path to godhood was considered as going against the heaven's will, and the tribulation lightning will only become stronger as one's cultivation level increased.

Long Meili was embarrassed after having been exposed by her master. She indeed failed to cross her tribulation lightning, but it was only because her bloodline inheritance was incomplete. "Master, since I don't have a pure dragon bloodline, my bloodline inheritance was incomplete. Furthermore, this isn't the first time I've failed on crossing my tribulation lightning, and it seems like I have no more hopes in achieving godhood in this life." Her beastly voice revealed a trace of dejection as she spoke. She tried breaking through to the Nascent God Realm for quite a number of times already, but it all ended in failure.

Jiu Shen was slightly affected by her sorrow because of their connection through the soul contract, so he somewhat felt pity for her. "The Heavenly Dao encompasses all strands of things in..."

Jiu Shen spoke a random chant, making Long Meili confused, but after intently listening to his words, she felt her dragon bloodline stirring violently within her body.

This was a dragon's cultivation technique!

Long Meili felt shocked in her heart, but she immediately closed her eyes to focus on remembering every word that Jiu Shen spoke, and as she muttered those words silently to herself, she felt that her true essence and dragon bloodline was stimulated to a certain degree!

This... How can this be? What kind of technique can produce this kind of change in my body? This...

Long Meili's eyes sprung open and saw that Jiu Shen was smiling at her warmly. She felt gratitude in her heart and the slight reluctance that she had felt after taking him as her master instantly vanished. "Master this is..."

Jiu Shen sighed in his heart as he recalled the origins of the dragon technique that he had chanted earlier. 'I wonder how the Long Clan is doing right now?

"This is the strongest cultivation technique of the Dragon Race, the Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon..." Jiu Shen spoke in a calm voice, his tone revealed a sense of nostalgia, but Long Meili wasn't able to sense it.

"Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon... Master, how did you-" Long Meili wanted to ask Jiu Shen how he learned the Dragon Race's strongest technique, but she saw him shaking his head, so she promptly swallowed down her curiosity.

Just who is my master? How did he even learn this Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon? Judging its effect after I chanted it, I can confidently say that this technique is far from ordinary.

Long Meili's curiosity was piqued, but she didn't dare ask Jiu Shen after seeing the look on his face. His expression changed a number of times as if he was recalling a distant memory.

In the end, Jiu released a sigh and took out something from his space earring. It was a fruit from the Earth Origin Dragon Tree! He had twelve fruits in total and now he decided to give one to Long Meili.

Seeing the small fruit in Jiu Shen's hand, Long Meili's eyes instantly brightened, but she obediently waited for Jiu Shen to speak.

"After you recuperate your wounds, use this to increase your chance of achieving godhood, and with the addition of the Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon, I'm completely certain that you won't have any problems in breaking through to the Nascent God Realm." Jiu Shen muttered as he tossed the fruit to Long Meili who immediately wrapped the tiny fruit with her true essence.

She bowed her head gratefully at Jiu Shen and spoke in a solemn and respectful voice. "Master, Long Meili will not forget your help. I will follow master's orders even if it means this dragon's death!" Her tone was full of determination and resolution, making Jiu Shen smile lightly.
