As he got closer, Su Mu found the little girl's breathing very calm, but this calmness was oddly unsettling.
Because normally, when a person breathes, their chest rises and falls, but the little girl was different.
At this moment, Su Mu noticed something, his pupils suddenly contracted—there was a missing sound, the sound of a heartbeat!
He didn't realize it before; from the moment he found the little girl, he heard her crying, then her breathing, but there was no heartbeat. Su Mu expanded his Divine Sense and discovered that the little girl actually had no heart!
Without a heart, naturally, there would be no heartbeat sound, so her breathing was this calm.
Can a person without a heart be considered a normal human being?
Yet, Su Mu could indeed feel the little girl's vitality. With his cultivation strength, this was something he could confirm—the little girl was a living, breathing life, that couldn't be faked.
Aside from having no heart, everything else was just like any ordinary little girl, nothing out of the ordinary.
At this moment, Su Mu was stroking his chin, lost in thought.
He then turned around, returned to the stone house, and brought out hundreds of ancient texts, leafing through ten of them at once, suddenly scanning them rapidly.
After finishing the last ancient text, he gently closed it, still unable to find the answer he sought.
These hundreds of ancient texts were obtained by Su Mu through lottery draws or looting, and they recorded countless special constitutions from the Ten Thousand Realms, but none documented a constitution without a heart.
This left Su Mu in a bit of a quandary, because he suspected that the little girl might have a special constitution, but he couldn't find any records about such a constitution in the ancient texts.
Standing up, Su Mu paced back and forth in front of the willow tree.
At this moment, his Divine Sense locked onto the little girl, and he quickly discovered another peculiarity.
The little girl actually had a Dantian Space!
Normally, only cultivators could develop a Dantian Space, and they would have to at least cultivate to Golden Core to open it, but this little girl was so young, not even a year old, and she already had a Dantian Space?
When Su Mu carefully examined the size of this Dantian Space, he was once again shocked.
This should no longer be called a "Dantian Space"; it should be called a "Dantian Little World"!
Because her Dantian Space is so vast, if one had to describe it with a measure, her Dantian Space was equivalent to the combined Dantian Spaces of one hundred thousand Golden Core cultivators!
Su Mu, due to practicing many laws, consuming many Treasure Fish treasures, and cultivating top-tier cultivation techniques, also had a vast Dantian World.
But this little girl, not even a year old and not yet exposed to cultivation, already had about one percent of his Dantian World!
Don't underestimate this one percent; you have to know, Su Mu is currently at the Human Immortal Great Perfection Realm!
.....
At this moment, Su Mu's breathing was also somewhat rapid.
Could this be the legendary Innate Cultivation Sacred Body??
In the past, he always heard people talking about "talent," but this was the first time Su Mu had been so directly mesmerized by the subtle impact of "talent."
...
Putting aside the issue of having no heart, a close observation of the little girl's breathing would reveal that her breaths were very drawn-out.
The higher the level of cultivation, the longer the breaths become. The little girl's breathing had already surpassed countless mighty cultivators.
At this moment, Su Mu even began to doubt whether this little girl had been abandoned or just lost.
An even bolder conjecture was: could it be possible that the little girl never had parents?
Looking at the soundly sleeping little girl, Su Mu only felt that a burden and responsibility had been placed on his shoulders.
.....
Time flew by, and compared to the loneliness of one person, having another small life made time seem less tedious and pass by more quickly.
On this day, a man dressed in black with a large fish slung over his shoulder was steadily approaching the stone house.
As he got closer, a voice of delight rang out: "Daddy!"
The next second, a small figure rushed over and hugged the man's leg.
Seeing this, the man smiled, ruffling her hair with his right hand, saying, "Nannan, I heard from your big brother that you seem to have caused some trouble again today, huh."
Upon hearing this, the little girl pouted and murmured softly, "Big brother is such a miser."
Nannan was three years old, wearing a light purple dress and sporting an adorable bun hairstyle, her delicate face looked like that of a little elf, each feature exquisite like a gift from heaven.
Seeing the cute expression on Nannan's face, Su Mu also tweaked her nose, smiling as he said, "Next time, you shouldn't be so naughty; it's dangerous."
Upon hearing this, the little Nannan revealed a cute little tiger tooth, hugged the man's leg, looked at the big fish on the shoulder with sparkling big eyes, and exclaimed excitedly:
"Wow!"
"Daddy, what kind of fish did you catch this time!"
.....
"A big green fish."
Su Mu smiled indulgently, holding Nannan's small hand with one hand, carrying the big green fish over his shoulder with the other, as they walked towards their little stone house step by step.
Upon reaching the stone house, little Nannan hugged the willow tree, saying, "Mrs. Liu, Daddy caught another big fish today."
The next second, a few willow branches drooped down, entwined to form a swing.
Little Nannan sat on the swing, swaying and swinging, her white little feet dangling in the air, very happy.
Because during Nannan's growing up, the willow tree played a significant role in companionship and nurturing, so little Nannan always called it "Mrs. Liu."
