Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive

Chapter 582: Changes in the Soul Ring

As soon as they appeared outside the old courtyard, everyone began running around to explore.

Even though this wasn’t their first time in the Soul Ring, they still found it fascinating.

Grandpa Chu went to the farm with Grandpa Li and the butler to harvest the spirit fruits that had already ripened.

Mother Chu went to collect eggs from the chicken and ducks that had now reproduced to the point of going out of control.

In fact, after a year of the apocalypse, inside the Soul Ring, almost ten years or more had passed.

Now, even fruit trees that took too long to bear fruit were already yielding a good harvest.

The animals that had only been a few of each type now were so many they couldn’t be counted.

However, this was good because once the apocalypse ended, the world would need livestock and seeds to reintroduce farming again.

If there were enough animals, they could be sent to different parts of the world depending on their growing requirements.

"This place feels different." Ye Xuan commented as he stood at the edge of the stream with Chu Miao and some of his brothers.

"It’s indeed different from before, but I can’t seem to put a finger on what has changed." Gu Fan agreed with his boss immediately.

He had indeed felt the difference the moment they entered the Soul Ring, however, he couldn’t tell what was different.

"Spiritual energy." Qi Long said seriously.

As if he had just opened up a fog that was clouding everyone, the others immediately realized what was different.

"Yes, the spiritual energy is different from before. It is much denser and purer than before. What is happening?" Li Kun asked in surprise.

"I don’t know either. Maybe it changes as my strength improves or it’s because of all these crystal cores we have been dumping in the stream. Anyway, it’s a good thing, so I don’t really care." Chu Miao had indeed noticed this small change.

In fact, others might not be able to tell, but she and Ye Xuan could tell that within the spiritual energy in the Soul Ring now, there was a trace of immortal qi.

It was very shallow, but it was there and after trying to absorb spiritual energy after entering the ring, Chu Miao had discovered that a small trace of immortal qi was absorbed into the body.

In this case, if the people who entered the Soul Ring regularly cultivated there long-term, their bodies would gradually get used to immortal qi.

In this way, when they ascend to the Immortal Realm, it wouldn’t be difficult to adapt to the new energy and it wouldn’t slow down their cultivation.

Ye Xuan and Chu Miao looked at each other and even without words, they understood what the other wanted to say.

It seemed that even the heavens wanted them to go back to the Immortal Realm.

With spiritual energy that was mixed with immortal qi, even if it was only a small amount, mixed with what they got from those evolved zombies’ crystal cores, they wouldn’t have a tough time converting their spiritual energy into immortal energy.

"Is everyone here?" Ye Xuan asked after everyone was used to the new amount of spiritual energy rushing around them.

"Yes, boss. Everyone is here." Lei Ying shouted eagerly in reply.

He had always wanted to know what was in this forest.

Before, Chu Miao hadn’t let them enter the forest and seeing how deep and dark it looked, he had always wondered whether there were monsters there or demon beasts like the ones in the ancient battlefield.

Today they had a chance to explore and the adventurer in him couldn’t wait to go in and check it out.

"Alright, we don’t know what’s in this forest, so don’t let your guard down. If you find something you think is valuable, don’t rush to pick it. Every treasure has a guardian. So, be careful not to die for treasure." Chu Miao warned and after everyone saluted and expressed their understanding, she led them to cross the stream and enter the forest.

This time, there were Ye Xuan’s six brothers, Chu Miao and Chu Hao, Qi Long, Fu Nie, and some of his teammates who could cultivate, and the Li family siblings.

There were over ten people, about the same group of people who entered the ancient battlefield before.

As soon as they entered the forest, everything felt as if it had changed.

The spiritual energy was even purer than on the other side, there were spiritual herbs growing everywhere, and some small animals were running around.

However, this was just the outskirts of the forest, so no one bothered with anything they saw.

The group walked for about an hour before they finally came across the cave Chu Batian had left his inheritance.

However, this time, the group didn’t stop to enter the cave, after all, everything worth anything there was already gone.

After walking for another twenty minutes, the forest began to change.

The temperature suddenly dropped and the color of leaves on the trees also became more blue than green.

Chu Miao, even though she had lived three lifetimes, had never seen something like this.

The drop in temperature was so obvious that even as cultivators, Chu Miao and the others could feel it.

This wasn’t a normal drop in temperature. In fact, it was even colder than when the apocalypse caused extreme cold.

As a cultivator, it wasn’t a big deal to use spiritual energy to cover the body and prevent the cold from invading their bodies.

However, after a few minutes, Chu Miao noticed that her spiritual power was fading fast.

It was being consumed at an alarming rate to keep the cold out.

The others were the same and they had to stop talking to preserve their strength.

"What on earth is happening here?" Pei Ming asked in frustration.

"I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s pointless. Our ancestors wouldn’t have set it up for no reason." Chu Miao explained solemnly.
