Chapter 1180 - 1180 Surprise Daddy?
When Di Haotian arrived at this place, the very first thing he noticed was that luminous cocoon.
He had also guessed that it was absolutely something very special.
It might even be the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root.
Although Di Haotian had heard rumors about the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root, he had never truly seen it with his own eyes.
After all, Di Haotian only had knowledge of certain great fortuitous encounters.
It was impossible for him to have personally experienced every single one of them.
And now, what left both Di Haotian and Jun Xiaoyao greatly astonished was this:
What emerged from the luminous cocoon was not the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root they had imagined.
It was a curled-up little girl!
The little girl looked quite young, roughly five or six years old.
She wore a tiny white dress as light and thin as a cicada's wing.
She had a head of long silver-white hair, and her skin was like ice and snow, of an extreme, flawless whiteness.
Her small face was translucent, delicate, and as fine as porcelain, carved as though from pink jade.
Her eyes were closed, and her lashes were very long.
Her slender, delicate limbs were curled inward, just like a baby in the womb.
Everything about her made her look like an exquisitely beautiful, impossibly adorable porcelain doll.
This caused both Di Haotian and Jun Xiaoyao to show expressions of surprise.
Deep within the Void Heaven Realm, inside a luminous cocoon nestled in a crack in the void, a sprite-like little girl had actually been born.
"Could she be the physical form of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root?" Di Haotian couldn't help but speculate.
Indeed, there were some immortal herbs that possessed spirit and intelligence, capable of taking on human form.
That was not entirely unheard of.
Just as the two of them were sizing up the little girl,
the little girl seemed to sense something. Her long lashes, like butterfly wings, fluttered faintly.
Then she opened those large, clear eyes — sharply defined in black and white, flawless as gemstones.
The very first thing she saw was Jun Xiaoyao.
There is a legend that when a fledgling bird breaks out of its shell,
it regards the first living being it lays eyes on as its closest, most intimate presence.
And now, the first thing this little girl saw was Jun Xiaoyao.
Instinctively, the little girl called out in a voice still soft and milky with youth.
"Daddy!"
Even Jun Xiaoyao, who habitually kept his emotions from showing, was momentarily stunned.
He glanced left, then right, looking somewhat flustered.
Was this little girl calling out to him?
He had just accidentally become a father?
Even Jun Xiaoyao was a little dazed and didn't quite know how to react.
Was this truly a living being born from the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root?
But on her, there was only a faint trace of reincarnation energy, barely perceptible.
If this little girl truly was the physical form of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root, then refining her would honestly feel rather unsettling.
After all, smelting a child was not something that could be allowed.
On the other side, a flash of silver light passed through Di Haotian's eyes.
He activated his Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes, and fine silver runes swirled within his mercury-like pupils.
He wanted to see through the little girl's secrets and determine whether she truly was a manifestation of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root.
But in the very next moment, Di Haotian felt an unbearable glare before his eyes.
He felt as though he were staring directly at a Great Emperor.
Even more terrifying than that!
Crack!
In an instant, a horrifying backlash force surged forth.
Bloody tears streamed from Di Haotian's eyes in an instant!
Even he couldn't hold back a cry as his entire body exploded apart!
"Young Emperor, sir!"
Bai Luoxue and the Red-Haired Ghost standing nearby changed expressions at the sight, their faces draining to a deathly white.
What was going on?
Di Haotian's primordial spirit body had just blown apart!
Witnessing this scene, Jun Xiaoyao's pupils also contracted slightly.
He then suppressed the urge to probe into the little girl's background.
Even so, though Di Haotian's primordial spirit body had exploded,
golden soul force was still reverberating through the air.
Faintly, it was as if a golden imperial silhouette emerged — one whose aura was terrifying enough to suppress the entire universe.
That scattered golden soul force then gathered itself back together, recongealing into Di Haotian's form.
Only now, compared to before, Di Haotian's primordial spirit body had become seven parts more ethereal.
The current Di Haotian truly looked somewhat like a ghost — thin and translucent.
"As expected, it still hasn't been extinguished?"
Jun Xiaoyao felt a faint twinge of regret.
If Di Haotian had truly been eliminated just like that, it would have been rather ridiculous.
Still, Di Haotian's primordial spirit did put Jun Xiaoyao somewhat on guard.
Di Haotian's exceptional primordial spirit was also one of his three great innate talents.
It was said to be inherited from an ancient and supremely powerful emperor of the Ancient Immortal Court, strong beyond imagination.
But this also proved something from a different angle.
This little girl's origins were far from ordinary.
Di Haotian had probed her with his Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes and had suffered a terrifying backlash in return.
"Daddy!"
The little girl seemed somewhat frightened by the faintly aggressive look in Di Haotian's gaze.
She darted straight toward Jun Xiaoyao,
and like a swallow returning to its nest, she dove into his arms.
Jun Xiaoyao was stunned.
Truly stunned.
The little girl's body was light and soft, yielding like cotton.
Her silver hair was as smooth as silk, her skin as fine and warm as jade.
Her large eyes, glittering like stars and clear as gemstones, blinked and stared fixedly at Jun Xiaoyao.
"Daddy, you're so handsome!"
The little girl wrapped her arms around Jun Xiaoyao's neck.
Jun Xiaoyao was at a complete loss for words.
Was this little girl choosing her father based on looks?
Sure enough, on the other side, even Di Haotian couldn't stop the corner of his eye from twitching faintly.
Was he not good-looking enough?
That couldn't be right.
Step out anywhere, and he could absolutely captivate countless women.
Yet now, this little girl of mysterious identity and unknown origin had chosen Jun Xiaoyao.
Even a fool could tell that this little girl was absolutely no ordinary being.
She had caused his Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes to suffer a backlash — one could only imagine just how extraordinary she truly was.
If he could earn her trust, who knows what tremendous surprises might be uncovered in the future.
"Things don't happen more than three times — and this is already the third."
Di Haotian began to take the matter seriously.
From the false root of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root at the very beginning,
to that drop of blood in the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm,
and now to this little girl.
By all rights, these fortuitous encounters should all have belonged to him, Di Haotian.
He had been reborn at the dawn of the Golden Great Era — wasn't that heaven's will, decreeing that he should reign supreme in this lifetime?
On top of that, he had the memories of his past life.
Every last genius, in his eyes, was nothing more than a leek waiting to be harvested.
So why was it that Jun Xiaoyao seemed to have taken his place, always managing to seize his destined fortunes one step ahead of him?
This feeling was deeply disagreeable to Di Haotian.
It was as though everything that should have been his had been snatched away by Jun Xiaoyao.
If Jun Xiaoyao weren't here, Di Haotian was confident that this little girl would have recognized him as her master without question.
"Daddy, hungry…"
The little girl blinked her large eyes, impossibly adorable.
Jun Xiaoyao's mind stirred, and he directly produced that stalk of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root.
He wanted to test whether this little girl truly was the physical form of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root.
From this alone, one could see just how sharp and perceptive Jun Xiaoyao's mind was.
Sure enough, the little girl's eyes lit up immediately.
"Can I have this?"
The little girl was asking Jun Xiaoyao's permission — she was well-behaved and not the sort of unruly child who simply took what she wanted.
"Of course."
On one hand, Jun Xiaoyao wanted to test the little girl.
On the other, he also wanted to build a good relationship with her.
After all, the little girl's origins were in themselves a great mystery.
Yet who could have anticipated that after Jun Xiaoyao gave his consent,
this little girl would actually open her rosy little mouth and devour the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root in great, chomping bites!
The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Root, as large as a washbasin, was swallowed whole by the little girl in an instant.
Witnessing this scene, both Di Haotian and Jun Xiaoyao were left utterly dumbfounded.
Just what kind of existence was this little girl?
