Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 243 - 211: Arriving at Dragon Head Island
"Do not be alarmed, meet me outside the cave! I am Jiu Chi."
Zhao Sheng heard this voice transmission and was utterly shocked.
He found it hard to imagine why Master Jiu Chi had found Dome Turtle Island so quickly, and he also couldn’t figure out the man’s intentions—friend or foe?
With a belly full of questions, Zhao Sheng stood up, calmed his mind, and quickly stepped out of the Cultivation Room.
Upon leaving the cave mansion, he saw the murky night sky sparsely dotted with stars.
Zhao Sheng’s pupils contracted when he saw, not far away, the tall and burly figure of Master Jiu Chi suspended in mid-air, smiling at him. His large red robe fluttered loudly in the sea breeze.
"Junior Cen Hezi pays respect to the True Immortal," said Zhao Sheng as he flew on his sword to Jiu Chi and bowed in greeting.
"Little fellow, you’ve hidden yourself well!" suddenly, Master Jiu Chi spoke teasingly.
Zhao Sheng heard this and his heart jolted, yet he kept his expression unchanged and asked with confusion, "What do you mean by that, True Immortal? I do not understand."
Heh heh!
With that laugh, Zhao Sheng’s vision suddenly brightened and a streak of firelight swiftly passed by his cheek. The hot flame seemed to lick his skin, causing his hair to stand on end.
Instinctively, he raised his hand to his face, but upon feeling the cool sea breeze on his cheek, he suddenly realized that his disguise had been seen through.
Zhao Sheng’s expression fluctuated as he slowly lowered his hand, revealing a face of peerless handsomeness, with delicate features and two gem-like blue eyes, adding an enigmatic charm to his persona.
"Indeed, as a person of the Spirit Clan, you naturally possess such fine features!" Master Jiu Chi couldn’t help but clap his hands in admiration upon seeing his true face.
"How did you see through my disguise? I thought I had not given any slip," Zhao Sheng said seriously.
Master Jiu Chi crossed his arms in front of his chest, laughing proudly, "Wouldn’t you say it’s your bad luck? My Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Nine-Glazed Precious Mirror possesses Deceiving-breaking Divine Power. You, unfortunately, walked right into its path. Heh heh!"
Zhao Sheng was stunned upon hearing this, then suddenly came to a realization, and coldly said, "Your late-night visit couldn’t possibly be to capture me and take me to the Star God Palace for a reward?"
Simultaneously, he secretly prepared his spell. Core Spiritual Power was ready to burst at any moment.
While it was unlikely that he could escape from a Golden Core Master, waiting passively for doom was not his style.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would never give up!
"Hold on!"
Master Jiu Chi, sensing Zhao Sheng’s resolve, quickly waved his hand to indicate, "I have no ill intentions towards you, young man. If you don’t believe me, look."

Saying this, Master Jiu Chi blinked his eyes and it seemed as though he shattered an invisible layer, instantly releasing several shards of broken colored starlight and then revealing a pair of light blue pupils.
"This... this is... are you from the Spirit Clan?!" Zhao Sheng exclaimed in surprise.
Master Jiu Chi, feeling quite indignant, complained, "Hmm, I did try. But those face dogs refuse to recognize me. They insist that I am too ugly and that if I were to enter their family records, it would disgrace the reputation of the Spirit Clan."
Looking at the muscular and stern-faced Master Jiu Chi, Zhao Sheng was at a loss for words for a moment before hesitatingly asking, "True Immortal, you came all this way to find me. What is it exactly that you want?"
"Heh heh, even at this point, you play dumb! My Lord has traveled tens of thousands of miles; do you think it was just to chat with you? Being born with the True Blood of the Spirit Clan, why don’t you go back to claim your heritage instead of hiding about? Isn’t the identity of the Spirit Clan worth less to you? You are indeed a lucky man who doesn’t know when he’s well off!" Master Jiu Chi couldn’t help but complain at this point.
Zhao Sheng blinked his eyes, seemingly understanding, thus he stopped activating his Spiritual Power and asked ambiguously, "Elder, did you come to take me back to the Spiritual Abyss?"
Master Jiu Chi shook his head, "Had it been before, I would have immediately taken you back to the Spiritual Abyss to claim your heritage. But now, the situation has changed. The Ancestor commanded me to take you to Dragon Head Island."
Zhao Sheng’s mind raced, promptly associating it with the Sea Demon tide, and tentatively asked, "May I know which Ancestor you refer to, True Immortal? Could it be one of the Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Spirit Clan?" Read exclusive chapters at novelbuddy
Master Jiu Chi smiled faintly, flicked a red flame with his finger, which instantly turned into a streak of fire shooting up into the night sky and vanished.
"Who is the Ancestor? I’ll explain on the way. And you, young man, should not even think about running away, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless."
The moment Master Jiu Chi finished his threatening words, a huge dark shadow suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of the two.
On closer inspection, it was a strange massive bird with pitch-black feathers all over its body, a wingspan exceeding fifteen meters, and a beak and claws of steel, resembling both dragon claws and a fierce tiger’s head.
"A Fifth Rank Demon Pill Realm Tiger-Owl?!"
Feeling the barely perceptible pressure emanating from the large bird, Zhao Sheng’s expression became solemn, and he was tremendously alarmed.
"Correct, this Fifth Rank Tiger-Owl is fast enough. It’s quite suitable as a means of transportation," said Master Jiu Chi, his tone nonchalant yet full of coercion.
Zhao Sheng was momentarily speechless.
At this moment, he completely abandoned the idea of fleeing.
Not to mention anything else, with the Tiger-Owl present, he couldn’t escape even into the sea.
The Tiger-Owl is an amphibious demon beast, known for its agility and ferocity.
Facing a Demon Pill Realm Great Demon that could traverse air, land, and sea, Zhao Sheng knew he could not escape.
"Shall we go? Or do you need me to invite you formally?"
Seeing Zhao Sheng hesitate to come forward, Master Jiu Chi shook his head and urged him.
Saying this, he stepped into the air, walking a few steps onto the broad back of the Tiger-Owl and turned his head to motion Zhao Sheng with his eyes.
