94: Spirit pet hatching, the mysterious four-eyed bird

"Let him in."

"True Dragon Secret Realm?"

Jun Lingxiao no longer looked at the egg, but instead looked at Jun Hongxuan, who had rushed over.

It took him a while to remember that it seemed to be the Secret Realm token he had given him as an apology at the beginning, saying that his cheap father's last appearance was in the True Dragon Secret Realm.

The Jun Family went to search for a True Dragon, so they called it the True Dragon Secret Realm, but to others, it had another name—

Great Emperors Treasury.

It was the burial ground of several ancient Great Emperors, leaving behind countless treasures and Legacies specifically for future generations.

"The True Dragon Secret Realm opens once every ten years. Normally, the Secret Realm would have shown fluctuations by this time, but we just got news today."

"The Secret Realm shows no fluctuations, which means it won't open this year. We'll have to wait and see when it does."

Jun Hongxuan said with a hint of joy in his brows.

This piqued Jun Lingxiao's interest, and he asked, "The specific opening time is unknown, so why do you seem so happy?"

"Of course I'm happy! You don't know how many people have entered the True Dragon Secret Realm before; all the good things were taken long ago."

"A Secret Realm that opens once every ten years and has never had an issue hasn't opened this year, which means something has happened inside. It's highly possible that some supreme treasure, which doesn't usually appear, will emerge!"

"Anyway, there are only a few Secret Realm tokens. The longer it's delayed, the better! When it opens, we'll go in and search thoroughly!"

As he spoke, he seemed to just notice the egg on the table beside Jun Lingxiao and asked in surprise:

"Spirit pet egg? Do you lack such a thing?"

"It looks like it's about to hatch. Should I step out?"

Jun Hongxuan said with some surprise, as if wondering what kind of egg was worth Jun Lingxiao personally hatching. If he lacked a spirit pet, wouldn't someone just send him one directly?

As he spoke, he wanted to leave. After all, a spirit pet would consider the first person it saw after hatching as its parent, which was also why An Luoxin wasn't here.

If the creature inside saw him first, that would be bad.

However, Jun Lingxiao shook his head.

"No need. I dripped my blood on it and formed a blood bond."

"I'm just hatching it for fun in my spare time."

Although Jun Lingxiao didn't expect the creature inside the egg to be very powerful, he was still quite curious.

With a drop of Great Emperor's essence blood and some Heaven And Earth Treasures he had signed in for, even a lost Divine Plant, what kind of creature would emerge after all these infusions?

"Blood bond?"

"You're quite confident. I also hatched one when I was little. I've forgotten its name. It was quite useless, and I eventually gave it to Rong..."

Jun Hongxuan suddenly paused in his words, then closed his mouth and sat down on a chair next to Jun Lingxiao, asking him if he had any interesting anecdotes from his time in the Lower Realm these past few days.

"Anecdotes?"

He shook his head, not saying much.

He couldn't possibly say that he had gone down and taken away a protagonist, could he?

Seeing that Jun Lingxiao didn't speak, Jun Hongxuan began to guess on his own. Besides, he had noticed as soon as he came in that Jun Lingxiao's Realm and the feeling he gave off were completely different from when he first went down.

"I always feel like you're a bit strange now, like... out of place...! Yes! Out of place. Your Qi now seems to be independent from this world. The first thing I unconsciously look at when I come in is you."

"Tsk tsk tsk, no anecdotes, but you found an Opportunity, right?"

As he spoke, he kept smacking his lips, lamenting that people were, after all, different.

He was only in his twenties this year, stuck in the Spirit Domain Realm.

He had originally said that those of Jun Lingxiao's generation were in trouble, but he didn't expect those words to fall on him now! Despite the significant age difference, their Realms were almost the same. So many years had been lived in vain!

Not to mention his Luck, which allowed him to Break through just by taking a trip to the Lower Realm.

"Opportunity?"

"You could say that."

As Jun Lingxiao spoke, he summoned his Divine Halo. Jun Hongxuan had just picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, taking a sip, but when he saw this, he immediately spat it out!

"Holy crap! Divine Halo?! You've reached the Divine Realm?!"

"How is this possible! How old are you?!"

He had lost count of how many times Jun Lingxiao had shocked him.

One must know that the most monstrous Prodigy in the Ten Directions Immortal Court, like Fang Sheng, who possessed a Saint Body, usually reached the Spirit Domain Realm at twenty-five, but he had reached it at nineteen. This was already enough to be called a peerless Prodigy who could suppress a region, and everyone who saw him would sigh, saying he was indeed worthy of being a Saint Body.

But although Jun Lingxiao and he both possessed Saint Bodies, their current display was like a firefly compared to a bright moon; the difference was too vast!

Divine Realm... Jun Hongxuan dreamed of it.

"I haven't reached the Divine Realm. It just so happened that my Domain advanced once; it was merely Luck."

Jun Lingxiao explained indifferently, but these words made Jun Hongxuan gasp again.

"Just so happened" to advance? "Merely Luck"?

Hearing these words, he felt like hitting someone. Why didn't such a coincidental thing happen to him?

Jun Hongxuan was about to say something more, but he turned his head and saw the egg on the table move.

"Look, it seems to be coming out."

As he spoke, he shrunk his head back. Although he knew that Jun Lingxiao had already formed a blood bond with it, if anything unexpected happened and it recognized him as its master, Jun Hongxuan would feel terribly guilty.

However, Jun Lingxiao didn't care.

The two of them watched as the egg on the table gradually cracked and then rolled. The little creature inside tossed and turned, even rolling into Jun Lingxiao's hand.

Afterward, a corner of the eggshell was pushed open, and a small creature with white, damp down squeezed out. Its tiny head probed around, and after a while, it opened its bright eyes, blinking at Jun Lingxiao.

It was very small and not fully grown yet. One could only see a Phoenix beak, a feathered body, and a feathered crest on its head.

Just by its appearance, it looked like a Divine Phoenix, but Jun Lingxiao felt something was off about the little creature in his hand.

"Double eyes?"

Indeed, although it looked like a Phoenix-like bird, it had two pairs of eyes, symmetrically arranged one above the other, looking with four eyes, and its feathers...

Were white.

Its entire body was covered in silver-white down, which already showed a nascent heroic spirit. In the future, it would probably be even more beautiful.

"Double eyes? Holy crap, could it be the ancient Heavy-Eyed Divine Bird?"

Jun Hongxuan leaned over upon hearing this, but the next moment, he froze.

"Double eyes?"

He repeated it again, also shocked by the scene before him.

He thought "double eyes" meant double pupils, but the result was truly double eyes.

The little creature tilted its head, its four eyes staring intently at Jun Lingxiao. Although it didn't know what the two were saying, it knew that the person in front of it was its closest kin, an indescribable strangeness.

"Hiss~ This thing already surpasses any Heavy-Eyed Divine Bird. I've never seen it before. Did you use some supreme treasure on it?"

"I did use a few things."

"What things?"

"Great Emperor's essence blood."

"Oh, that's fine... Wait! What did you say you used?" Jun Hongxuan had felt quite normal a second ago, thinking of things like Great Emperor's supreme treasures, which the Jun Family wasn't short of; it would be abnormal not to use them.

But when he heard the last two words, he froze in place, completely unable to believe his ears.
