Chapter 49 - The Child Of Void
The kittens struggled to crawl out of their eggshells.
Qin Yi watched them with pleasure and couldn't help but say in a muse.
"Cheer up, my two little guys!"
The kittens finally broke free from their eggshells and fell to the ground a few moments later.
They looked at Qin Yi with somewhat pitiful eyes and meowed softly.
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
"Ugh"
Qin Yi seemed to have received a damage of 1000 just from that look.
He knew that these kittens still didn't have the strength to support themselves with their four little limbs.
Therefore, he decided to approach them and offered them his broad palms.
These two kittens are tiny, and they are able to barely fit his palm.
However, instead of riding on it, they licked Qin Yi's fingers.
Qin Yi was slightly bewildered and asked.
"Are you two hungry?"
The kittens didn't understand what he was saying, but they responded with more meowing.
"Meow, meow~."
It looks like they are hungry given that they continue to lick Qin Yi's fingers.
However, he is at a loss.
What did they eat again?
There are no records of what the Void Cats ate in the books.
Then, he subconsciously looked at the eggshell that was behind the kittens.
"Come to think of it, I heard that the beast's egg shell contains a lot of nutrients and it can be used as food for its cub..."
Qin Yi took the two eggshells and collected the shards.
After that, he handed two tiny shards to each kitten.
"Here~"
The kittens sniff them with their tiny noses.
"Meow?"
They seemed to smell a familiar scent coming from them.
After licking it a few times, they immediately ate it without hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yi couldn't help but murmur.
"Sure enough!"
...
"Alright, guys, eat slowly. There's still a lot of them."
A few minutes later, the kittens finished eating, and they eventually fell asleep in Qin Yi's palms.
Their sleeping appearance was so adorable, and he didn't have the heart to wake them up.
So, he lay on his stomach, smiling while looking at the two little kittens as he petted them.
The longer he stared, the wider his smile was.
Then he said in his head.
'System, extract them!'
[Extraction completed!]
[Obtained Mystic Talent: The Child of Void]
[Note: Mystic Talent is Mystic Beast's innate talent. Once the Host extracts it, the system will automatically send the analysis structure of this talent to the Host.]
…
[Extraction failed!]
[Note: The system cannot extract the same Mystic Talent.]
After receiving this Mystic Talent, Qin Yi felt joy.
After all, this was one of the things he looked forward to the most from the birth of these kittens.
The system kept his word as soon as the extraction was successful. Information regarding this Mystic Talent started to emerge in Qin Yi's head.
Meanwhile, Qin Yi instantly digested the information and discovered the shocking truth of this Mystic Talent.
The Child of Void is the actual name of the Void Cat's Mystic Talent.
As for Void Jump, it was previously recorded in the book as the name of Mystic Talent that people gave after seeing the Void Cat, who likes to jump here and there and then disappears.
They weren't entirely wrong; in fact, they were slightly right.
It's just that they don't know that the Void Jump turns out to be just one of the three abilities of Child of Void.
In other words, there are still two different abilities of this Mystic Talent.
The Child of the Void...
Qin Yi didn't know its meaning as the system didn't elaborate on it, but it sounded powerful to him.
This Mystic Talent has three abilities: Void Jump, Void Walk, Void Stealth.
Void Jump: this ability allows Void Cats to jump from one place to another place through voids. However, this ability requires them to remember their destination point and as for how far they can go; it depends on their spiritual energy.
The further the distance, the greater their spiritual energy consumption.
Void Walk: this ability allows Void Cats to move through voids without getting lost.
Unfortunately, Qin Yi did not get any information about the void, but from the knowledge of the Void Walk, he could tell that the void is not a completely safe place.
It might be dangerous if even the Void Cats could get lost in the void. Thankfully, this ability can help them avoid the risk of getting lost there.
Void Stealth: this ability allows the Void Cats to hide in the void while still able to see the outside of void, it can last depending on the amount of spiritual energy they possess.
After understanding all the abilities of this Mystic Talent, Qin Yi couldn't help but be amazed and frowned at the same time.
These abilities are indeed shocking.
Jumping, walking, and hiding in the void are not simple things.
As far as Qin Yi knew, only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were rumored to be able to manipulate space, and it was this ability that allowed them to be able to move from one place to another in a matter of seconds.
Yet, these Void Cats actually have the talent to do what Nascent Soul Realm cultivators only could do and were innate at that.
If those old monsters knew this, he didn't know how many of them would feel shame and envy at this ability.
What's more, this teleportation ability wasn't too difficult to use.
According to the information he got from the system, as long as he remembered his destination and aimed there, he could jump there directly through the void.
There were no realm cultivation restrictions or other complicated requirements.
However, its drawback was Qi's consumption, which also applies to the other two abilities.
Even though Qin Yi was confident in his Qi amount, he was, after all, still a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator. He wasn't sure how long and far he could use these abilities.
Apart from the drawback of Qi consumption, he was also a little worried about the void itself.
Void seemed like a not very safe place even for Void Cats. They can safely stay there thanks to their other two abilities.
Having said that, even though it sounded dangerous, he still had to confirm it in person.
Since the system didn't give a special note about it, it might not be too much of a problem for him.
After a while, Qin Yi gently put the two kittens back in their nest under the Star Pearl Tree.
He had meticulously designed this nest in advance; it could keep them warm and cozy while they were sleeping.
After that, he directly exited the Mystical Garden.
When he came out, he was back at the garden hut.
Qin Yi sat cross-legged and directly opened his UI.

————
In the past month, there have been many changes to Qin Yi's status in UI.
An example is his cultivation base.
He only raised it one level despite having a lot of cultivation points.
Qin Yi's commitment from the beginning until now has not changed, which is to cultivate safely and steadily.
Although he has a lot of safety measures now, so what?
If he accidentally caught a Nascent Soul cultivator's attention, what could he do?
Those Nascent Soul cultivators had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. They were definitely not stupid.
They are cunning, and had plenty of methods to catch a weakling like Qin Yi.
Even though Qin Yi now has the ability to enter the void, it doesn't make him safe but instead would make Nascent Soul cultivators go mad and use various means to capture him.
No matter how much you look at it, he can only wait to die if his biggest secret was exposed to the public.
Therefore, he prefers to play it safe.
As for his cultivation base, he can raise it faster later when he obtains a better aptitude and travels out of the sect.
