The remaining Dark Moon Water in the pool surged upward like a dragon drinking water, transforming into a jet of pitch-black liquid that shot into the sky, only to cascade back down towards the Qilin Egg.
The Qilin Egg, adorned with intertwining black and white patterns, trembled violently. Suddenly, the black and white designs on its surface seemed to come alive, rapidly swirling as if they were giant mouths greedily devouring the incoming Dark Moon Water.
"Eek!"
A strange cry emerged from the Qilin Egg, filled with joy.
At the moment that cry sounded, both Fang Chen and Thunder Kirin's gazes sharpened, and a similar glimmer of delight appeared in their eyes.
Because that cry unmistakably belonged to Little Qilin.
The water column formed by Dark Moon Water quickly flowed entirely into the Qilin Egg. The egg, which had been shaking continuously, gradually fell silent. The black and white patterns above it flickered as if they were seeping into the shell's interior.
This silence lasted for about half a minute.
Crack!
A faint sound shattered the stillness of the cave.
In Fang Chen's line of sight, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the Qilin Egg.
Crack, crack...
As soon as this crack emerged, the cracking sounds continued. At the same time, two plump ivory-colored Qilin horns broke through the shell, exposed to the air. Soon after, the Qilin Egg finally shattered completely, revealing a peculiar little creature before Fang Chen and Thunder Kirin.
It was a Little Qilin about the size of a warrior's head, plump all over. It looked strange because this Little One was vastly different in appearance compared to the Thunder Qilin Clan.
Little One appeared to be a Qilin overall, but its pair of horns were not the unique purple-black color of the Qilin Clan, instead they were entirely milky white. As for its body, it was not purely purple but completely black. Even more peculiar were Little One's eyes, one black and one white, which were extraordinarily unusual. In short, there was not a trace of the purple color unique to Thunder Kirin in Little One.
Crack, crack...
After breaking out of the eggshell, Little One began to consume the scattered fragments around it, carefully observing its surroundings with those remarkably strange eyes while eating.
"It seems to have undergone quite a Mutation."
After glancing back and forth between Thunder Kirin and Little One, Fang Chen couldn't see any resemblance to a Thunder Kirin in Little One, and he slightly twitched his mouth. Then, with a hint of peculiarity in his gaze, he comforted the nearby Thunder Kirin.
"Mm."
Thunder Kirin nodded, producing a sound from its nostrils. Although its large face covered in scales showed no discernible expression, Fang Chen could clearly see a trace of helplessness in its eyes.
Anyone would feel frustrated seeing their hard-earned offspring finally born only to look nothing like them.
"Yiya."
After a while, Little One finally finished eating all the eggshells beside it. Standing on the Creation Lotus, its small eyes began to scan back and forth between Fang Chen and Thunder Kirin, seemingly trying to discern something.
Suddenly, it moved.
This movement startled both Thunder Kirin and Fang Chen.
Little One was incredibly fast!
Even though it had just been born, the moment Little One moved, its entire form transformed into a beam of Black Radiance, shooting directly towards Fang Chen and Thunder Kirin. The speed was far beyond what one would expect from a newly born qilin cub.
Could it be due to the Life and Death Qi?
Fang Chen speculated silently; apart from this reason, he couldn't think of anything else.
Meanwhile, Thunder Kirin, who had been feeling somewhat gloomy, suddenly lit up with a glimmer of excitement in its large eyes. Although Little One's appearance had initially disappointed it, at this moment, judging by Little One's performance, it was far stronger than an ordinary newly born qilin cub. Just the speed alone was enough to leave other Little Qilin in the dust.
Thunder Kirin understood well what the Qilin Clan, and even the beast tribes, truly valued: strength! And from this little one that had soaked in Dark Moon Water for a long time before birth, suffered from the invasion of Death Power, and then was nourished by Fang Chen's Life Force, finally devouring a large amount of Dark Moon Water, resulting in the mutation of Little One, Thunder Kirin saw a glimmer of hope. A hope belonging to the brilliance of the Qilin Clan!
“Roar!”
It stood up and let out an excited low growl, shaking off its previous gloominess as it gazed intently at the approaching Little One.
But in the next moment, Thunder Kirin's expression suddenly stiffened.
Because Little One did not leap towards it; instead, it dove straight into Fang Chen's chest.
“Eek.” Little One flipped over in Fang Chen's arms, its four chubby hooves grasping at the corner of his clothing. Then it lifted its head, its peculiar eyes that seemed to speak looking up at Fang Chen, appearing exceptionally adorable.
In contrast to Thunder Kirin's stiff and incredulous expression, Fang Chen couldn't help but chuckle. In fact, when Little One leaped into his embrace, he instinctively wrapped his arms around it but was momentarily taken aback himself.
After all, this was the offspring of Thunder Kirin, not his own. There was no reason for Little One to come to him instead of going to Thunder Kirin. Yet, the situation unfolded dramatically opposite to expectations.
However, it didn't take long for Fang Chen to guess the reason.
The force that triggered the Little One to undergo Mutation was nothing more than the intertwining of Life Force and Death Power. The life and death energies within Little One were almost entirely transformed by Fang Chen's Creation Lotus, thus carrying a trace of Fang Chen's essence.
As these strands of Life Force imbued with Fang Chen's aura continuously nourished Little One, it finally accumulated enough energy to break free from its shell, marking the moment it was born into this world. It could be said that its closeness to Fang Chen far surpassed that of others, even exceeding that of the Thunder Kirin. This was why, earlier, when faced with a choice between Thunder Kirin and Fang Chen, Little One chose Fang Chen.
However, despite understanding this moment and feeling a special bond with Little One, Fang Chen was well aware that Little One was ultimately the offspring of Thunder Kirin, not his own. Moreover, although he had not seen it, he could easily imagine the expression on Thunder Kirin's face at this moment.
"Cough, cough." Fang Chen cleared his throat again, feeling somewhat awkward. He reached out to gently rub the still undeveloped, chubby body of Little One, then extended his hands to return it to Thunder Kirin.
At that moment, however, the previously quiet Little One suddenly began to cry out in a somewhat impatient manner. Its four chubby hooves clung tightly to the fabric of Fang Chen's chest, refusing to let go. Its peculiar little eyes were filled with reluctance, looking at Fang Chen almost pleadingly.
In an instant, Fang Chen felt his heart soften. Yet soon after, the conflict within him grew even stronger. Logically and emotionally, he should return Little One to Thunder Kirin, but seeing its current state made it hard for the already fond Fang Chen to bear parting with it.
"Since it likes you, let it stay by your side."
A deep voice from beside him broke through his thoughts; it was Thunder Kirin.
Looking up, Fang Chen met the gaze of Thunder Kirin, noticing a hint of frustration in its eyes but more so a benevolent warmth, along with a unique affection that a parent has for its offspring.
Tightening his hold on Little One, a smile finally appeared on Fang Chen's face.
Having hatched from the Qilin Egg, there was naturally nothing for Little One to cling to within the Heritage Site. Furthermore, although they had temporarily torn apart the Power of Rules above the site using the Heaven and Earth Power, allowing entry into it, due to the rejection from the rules, it could not remain there for long. Moreover, for Thunder Kirin, the Thunder Abyss was clearly a better choice.
Boom!
Turning around, Thunder Kirin expanded its massive body and left the cave deep within the Black Mountain. The moment it departed, the cave—already precariously held together by Thunder Kirin's power—collapsed instantly. The once resplendent and thunder-struck Black Mountain finally crumbled completely.
Amidst the remnants of the devastated Black Mountain, Fang Chen held Little One in his arms, quietly gazing into the distance.
Deep within the Heritage Site, among the Four Great Mountains, he had already obtained the Heritage of the White-Clad Middle-Aged Man from Blood-Red Mountain. Although Chen Boyun had perished, he too had acquired the Heritage of Black Mountain. Now, only two other Heritages remained.
One was from Yellow Mountain, belonging to a Dao Sovereign Realm Expert, and the other was the Seven-Colored Mountain, surrounded by the black, yellow, and red mountains. This Heritage belonged to a Nirvana Realm level expert, the former leader of the Colorful Sacred Sect, known as the Rainbow Saint.
Now, among the warriors in the Heritage Site, only Fang Chen remained. At this moment, no one could compete with him for these two Heritages. While he couldn't guarantee success with the Nirvana Realm Rainbow Saint's Heritage, given his current foundation, he was confident that he could easily pass the Heritage test at the Daoist Master Realm level.
"Let's start with you." His gaze fell upon Yellow Mountain as a relaxed smile appeared on Fang Chen's face.
No one would ever complain about having too much Heritage.
Holding Little One and glancing at Thunder Kirin beside him, Fang Chen began to step toward Yellow Mountain.
However, at that moment.
Boom!
Above the Nine Heavens, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple swirled together. Seven massive vortices of vibrant colors appeared in seven different directions out of thin air. The vortices stirred up the air above the Colorful Sacred Realm, unleashing seven terrifying auras that spread forth.
