Chapter 662: Bloody Void Cat’s Inheritance Ground
Right before him was a temple, seemingly made of strange multicolored woods, and with the statues of two large multicolored cats placed before it.
Without needing to be told, he could already feel the aura emanating from the statues and even the temple.
It was so familiar with the auras of the void cats he had sighted in the divided realm where he had crossed before entering the upper realms.
“This is our Bloody Void Cat inheritance. Built with the hands of our own first priest, with his hands stained with the blood of those who have wronged our progenitor, the Void Cat race, and those who have fought against injustice.” The priest was saying this when Zeras noticed Fluffy suddenly jumped down from his shoulder and walked inside the temple’s gate.
“It seems your companion can also feel the aura…” the priest said as Zeras furrowed his eyebrows and followed after the priest into the temple.
Entering into it, all there was were a total of three statues and an altar where a single tooth was placed on top of a book.
Apart from these, the room could well be described as deserted.
“This is your race inheritance ground. It feels kinda…”
“Empty, I know. But it’s everything any other Void Cat needs to understand…” He said, pointing at Fluffy, who was currently on the strange altar, with his hands pressed against the single large tiger-like tooth that was placed on the altar.
“It was said in history that the tooth belongs to the furry one and the book belongs to the humanoid one.
I’m guessing they meant that only a Void Cat would be able to comprehend the words hidden in the tooth, and only a humanoid like you would understand the book…” the priest said as Zeras turned to look at Fluffy on the altar, who had his hand touching down on the tooth, its fur lighting up brilliantly.
Raising up the book into his hands, he opened it up, and he was surprised when he saw notes written in dried blood, holding an incredibly murderous and powerful aura that brimmed with a will to fight against injustice.
Silently, time passed as Zeras closed up the book finally, a myriad of emotions flashing through his eyes as he discovered everything the priest was saying was really true.
The book not only held the events of what happened a few thousand years ago but even all to be known about the Void Cats themselves.
Their strange awakening, the speciality of the four-striped Void Cats, the procedure and the requirements of the awakening ritual. Everything was correctly listed and was just as described by the priests.
“GROOOOOOWLLL!” Suddenly a tiger-like growl emanated from Fluffy’s lips as Zeras turned his attention to it, his eyes furrowing when he saw the pitch-red runes that were slowly covering all over Fluffy’s fur, and the strange phantom of a blood-red cat was beginning to form behind him, with Fluffy’s growl only becoming louder and louder.
“It’s losing itself to the anger of the event that happened…” the priest said as Zeras’ eyes flashed, understanding the crucifix of the matter.
There truly would be no one who wouldn’t be angry hearing of how members of its own clans have been roughly treated in the past, especially in such a heinous way, and as such, a natural reaction like that was possible.
Still, he was worried, having never seen Fluffy even ooze with a single murderous aura before. How did he suddenly gain one, and so much so?
“Calm down, Fluffy. It’ll always be fine…” Zeras said, rubbing his hand on its furry head to the back of its tail in an attempt to calm it.
And it seemed to have helped as he watched Fluffy calm itself down, judged by the red runes surrounding its body quickly fading away.
“So you understand, he will only be able to see and understand its own life purpose after it undergoes its own awakening…” the priest said, before slamming the back of his staff on the ground as the ground before them suddenly cracked into pieces in a rectangular format and revealed was none other than a pool of light green liquid.
“The Void Awakening Pool!?” Zeras asked in shock, looking at the bubbling liquid, something he understood from having read the notes.
While the void cats truly could undergo their awakening anytime their body entered into a relaxed state, there was a special liquid that could make them easily undergo their awakening, even if their body had yet to enter its relaxed state.
The awakening pool also helps them boost the functionality and effectiveness of the awakening by hundreds of folds.
It was something that was close to mythic even for the void cats. So it definitely surprised him when he saw one here.
“It’s something that our priest found in one of his long expeditions.
Since then, he had hidden it here, giving the order that it must be used if the right person is found. And I think he is more than worthy of it….”
“Still, the awakening would take its normal time, which is three months.
Since he is already qualified to undergo its second awakening, then it would take a total of 6 months for it to awaken from its slumber and complete its awakening ritual…” the priest said as Zeras’ eyebrows furrowed.
“Six months! I can’t wait here for six months, I have to leave to complete the request of my elders…” Zeras mused with furrowed eyebrows.
His initial plan was to spend about a few weeks inside the Jumong forest area, and during the time he would try to stabilize his cultivation and perhaps cultivate his Nine Star Fist manual to the third level, before he headed off towards the place where he was being called with Fluffy.
But now, Fluffy’s awakening would take six months, the exact same time he would call back by his other about the request given.
And additional help, even if it’s unsure, isn’t something Zeras would let go. Not if it was from somebody as powerful as his other.
And now he was torn between two choices, to forcefully stop Fluffy’s awakening and they both head to the place, or to leave Fluffy here, with the Blood Void Cats whom he had Zero trust in for six months and go alone?
