Looking at the black-feathered crow that had just crawled out of the Golden Crow egg, Jun Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment.
Honestly speaking, this appearance was somewhat unsightly.
The black crow was only about the size of a fist and looked completely unremarkable.
If one did not know its background, I am afraid no one would mistake it for a Three-legged Golden Crow.
However, Jun Xiaoyao thought about it again.
The so-called Golden Crow was, in fact, just a crow within the sun.
Moreover, the current Golden Crow was only in its nascent state and would undergo molting changes later on.
In the end, it could even take on a human form.
Just at this moment, a soft, cute, loli-like voice suddenly resonated in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
"Daddy... Daddy..."
Jun Xiaoyao looked at the little crow.
A female?
The little crow burrowed into Jun Xiaoyao's arms and nuzzled against him.
As a bird, there is a special phenomenon where they recognize the first creature they see after hatching as their parent.
This is what is known as imprinting.
Clearly, the little Golden Crow had mistaken Jun Xiaoyao for its father.
However, this was not necessarily wrong.
If Jun Xiaoyao had not collected the Golden Crow egg, who knows how many long years it would have had to wait before it could hatch.
"It seems I have become a father with joy once again," Jun Xiaoyao sighed.
The last one to call him father was Xiao Qianxue, or rather, the Immortal Lord of Reincarnation.
"Eh..."
After a thorough investigation, Jun Xiaoyao noticed something.
This little Golden Crow's Bloodline was extremely dense, showing signs of atavism.
Furthermore, thanks to Jun Xiaoyao's numerous methods, the little Golden Crow's innate Bloodline potential was immense.
At the very least, there was no need to worry about it falling behind later.
After nuzzling in Jun Xiaoyao's arms, the little Golden Crow began to eat the eggshell.
Its aura rose once again.
The tips of its originally pitch-black feathers actually began to show traces of golden down.
"Since you are so black right now, I will temporarily call you Xiao Heizi," Jun Xiaoyao said, looking at the little Golden Crow.
The little Golden Crow seemed to understand Jun Xiaoyao's words and waved its tiny, pitch-black wings.
It seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Jun Xiaoyao's casual naming choice.
"Let me see your Rune Bone..."
As Jun Xiaoyao spoke, he flipped Xiao Heizi's body over, exposing her chicken feet—no, her Golden Crow feet.
Xiao Heizi was a pure Three-legged Golden Crow, so she had three feet.
In Jun Xiaoyao's pupils, divine light flickered.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to pry into the Rune Bones of Divine Beasts.
If one were to force a peek, the Rune Bone might even shatter itself.
However, Xiao Heizi naturally trusted Jun Xiaoyao one hundred percent, so she did not offer any resistance.
Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao also gained a rough understanding of the profound mysteries regarding the Golden Crow Great Divine Ability from the Rune Bone.
"Rest assured, I will not treat you unfairly."
After obtaining the profound mysteries of the Golden Crow Great Divine Ability, Jun Xiaoyao extended his finger and tapped the center of Xiao Heizi's brow.
Passages of incomparably profound and complex scriptures surged into Xiao Heizi's mind like a tidal wave.
These scriptures were none other than the Sun Immortal Scripture!
When Jun Xiaoyao was in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, he had obtained a portion of the Sun Immortal Scripture's Profound Truths from the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow.
Later, after conquering the Sun God Mountain, he obtained the complete version of the Sun Immortal Scripture.
Now, it was just right to pass it on to Xiao Heizi.
After the transmission of the scriptures was complete, Xiao Heizi once again burrowed into Jun Xiaoyao's arms.
"Daddy... so good..."
The soft, cute, and adorable voice echoed in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
"Mm, after obtaining the Sun Immortal Scripture, you should first stay in my Inner Universe to Cultivate and grow well," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He looked forward to Xiao Heizi's early transformation; perhaps she could even turn into a human form, becoming a golden-haired loli or something similar.
And after Xiao Heizi entered Jun Xiaoyao's Inner Universe, he noticed something.
Within the Inner Universe, the power of the sun began to flourish, gradually pushing the growth of the Inner Universe.
For the current Jun Xiaoyao, besides his Cultivation Realm, he had two other directions.
These were cultivating the Sumeru World and evolving his Inner Universe.
Now that he had this Golden Crow, Xiao Heizi.
If he could find an existence containing the power of Yin in the future, he could achieve a balance of Yin and Yang.
Coupled with the continuous expansion of the World Tree, his Inner Universe would likely experience a surge in a short period.
However, existences that could compare to a Golden Crow and contained dense power of Yin were still very rare.
Finding one would not be that simple.
He could keep an eye out for it later.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao left the Blazing Sacred Tree.
As soon as he emerged, Princess Huo Linger found him.
"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!"
Even with Princess Huo Linger's personality, her pretty face was currently filled with a trace of gravity.
"What is it?"
"The Blood Moon is in the sky, the Nether Blood Mist has appeared, and the Blood Moon Calamity might be about to emerge..." Princess Huo Linger said, her delicate brows tightly knitted.
"Blood Moon Calamity..."
Jun Xiaoyao did not know much about the Origin Universe.
Seeing this, Princess Huo Linger thoughtfully explained it to him.
However, after listening, Jun Xiaoyao revealed a thoughtful expression.
This was because this Blood Moon Calamity was actually linked to one of the most important existences.
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor!
The World-Creating Heavenly Emperor was none other than the Heavenly Emperor among the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Man!
The Heavenly Emperor took the name of 'World-Creating' directly; how domineering was that?
And the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Man were none other than the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor, the Earth Emperor Immortal Spirit Emperor, and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
The Human Emperor Xuanyuan was a member of the Xuanyuan Clan.
The Immortal Spirit Emperor had a mysterious origin.
And the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor was even more incomparably mysterious.
No one knew where he came from or when he appeared.
They only knew that, without anyone noticing, the name of the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor had already shaken the Boundary Sea.
When the Three Emperors suppressed the ancient Black Calamity, the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor was naturally the most critical figure.
And now, the so-called Blood Moon Calamity in Princess Huo Linger's words was related to a Disciple once taken by the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor.
According to rumors, that Disciple's origin was also extremely mysterious, and the world only knew her as the Mysterious Empress.
In the end, she fell to the side of the Black Calamity and betrayed her Revered Master, the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor.
And this so-called Blood Moon Calamity was a disaster left behind by that Mysterious Empress.
In the Origin Universe, the Blood Moon Calamity was even called the "Little Black Calamity" by some.
Because whenever the Blood Moon Calamity appeared, a group of strange creatures would emerge.
They were known as the Blood Clan.
It was rumored that the appearance of the Blood Clan was related to that Mysterious Empress who betrayed the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor and fell to the side of the Black Calamity.
And this Blood Clan was incomparably strange and extremely difficult to deal with, possessing the ability to regenerate from a drop of blood, as well as strange Blood Clan secret techniques.
Some even believed that classifying them as part of the Black Calamity Tribes was not a problem at all.
"To think there is such a secret..."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes shifted slightly.
It was said that the Origin Universe was a pure land of the Boundary Sea, and even during the era of the ancient Black Calamity, it had not been affected much.
Now it seemed that this rumor was still incorrect.
The Origin Universe was not that stable and peaceful.
"So next, in the Star Dust Ancient Land, there might be Blood Clan creatures appearing."
"Now, all the various forces are preparing their troops to head there, and I, Linger, am also going. Will Master come along?"
Princess Huo Linger stared at Jun Xiaoyao and blinked her eyes.
"That is naturally possible," Jun Xiaoyao said.
This Blood Moon Calamity concerned that Mysterious Empress and even more so, the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor.
Now that the identity of the Successor of the Heavenly Emperor was unclear, whether it had any relation to that Lu Yuan, he would know once he went there this time.
Jun Xiaoyao believed that Lu Yuan would likely not miss this opportunity to show off.
