Chapter 583: Practice Environment
"Maybe nothing will happen if we don’t use spiritual energy to protect ourselves." Li Kun said and before anyone else could speak, he had already withdrawn the protective barrier around him, letting the cold seep into his bone marrow.
In less than a minute, he was so cold his blood flow had slowed down and his spiritual energy was solidifying in his meridians.
He didn’t wait to be warned before he covered himself with a barrier again.
That was basically teasing death.
But how could the weather change so fast?
It was as if this part of the forest was independent. And the further they walked, the colder it became and the more blue the leaves on trees became.
Chu Miao noticed that in her dantian, the blue crystal there was rotating faster and absorbing spiritual energy several times faster as well to replace the lost energy.
The more the protective barrier used spiritual energy to remain in place, the faster the crystal rotated.
Chu Miao decided to do an experiment and took out purified crystal cores, holding one in each hand and began to absorb them as she walked.
She realized that the spiritual energy absorbed from the crystal cores and the surrounding didn’t stay long in the dantian as it was used up just to keep the barrier on.
She didn’t understand the reason behind her ancestors setting up such a trial in the Soul Ring but she believed that it wasn’t useless.
So, she turned to everyone and gave the order.
"Take out crystal cores and hold them in your hands. Absorb them as we walk and don’t let your guard down."
"Have you discovered something?" Ye Xuan asked, taking out crystal cores from his space ring.
Chu Miao shook her head.
"No. But I think it’s part of the training grounds and it’s definitely not useless. So, let’s just make sure we walk out of here unscathed."
Everyone had already followed her advice and they were holding two or more crystal cores in their hands as they moved forward.
"Master, let me out." Little White said from the contract space.
It usually spends time in the Soul Ring. However, this time when they stepped into this strange environment, Chu Miao had put it in the beast contract space.
She was afraid that something would happen to it, but it seems now she was worried for nothing.
"If I let you out, will you be able to regulate your spiritual power and protect yourself?" Chu Miao asked through the contract connection.
"Don’t worry. I think there is something special about this place and it’s good for training. As your contract beasts, we can’t leave everything to you. We can help too. Do, let me out." Little White urged.
"How are you going to help me? By running around and causing me to worry?" Chu Miao wasn’t buying the tiger’s nonsense.
This tiger only knew how to make her worry.
"No, this coldness can purify spiritual energy and expand the dantian. You are losing spiritual energy too fast and have to replenish it even faster to stay alive. This forces you to rotate your spiritual energy faster and faster and with each cycle, the spiritual energy is purified. By the time you leave this area, your spiritual power would have increased significantly and it would also be purer. I bet a few of the people here who haven’t advanced to nascent soul will definitely advance." Little White’s lesson was really a welcome gift.
At least they wouldn’t think they were just fighting for their lives without any benefits.
But looking at the environment in that place, Chu Miao wondered if her ancestors had set it up for them to experience the extreme cold before it hit in the apocalypse.
They just hadn’t found this place before it happened.
If that was the case, then her ancestors had been too accurate.
They had known that the apocalypse would come, and they even knew about the disasters humans would have to face and prepared a practice environment in advance.
Without another word, Chu Miao let Little White out.
As soon as the tiger was released, it enlarged its body to the maximum size which was as high as an elephant and as long as a seven foot python.
"Why did you enlarge your body? Doesn’t it take more spiritual energy to maintain your size?" Chu Miao asked curiously.
"Yes. I still don’t have enough strength to maintain my size for a long time. But if I keep this size, I will use my spiritual energy faster and I can also absorb more energy faster as well." Little White replied, which confused the others.
Instead of finding ways to preserve its spiritual energy, it wanted to lose it faster.
What kind of logic was that?
Chu Miao seemed to understand their confusion, so she explained what Little White had just said.
Once everyone knew the advantages of training in such an environment, those with contract beasts let them out immediately.
This was the first time since that time in the ancient battlefield when all the contract beasts were seen together.
There was Chu Miao’s white tiger, Ye Xuan’s black tortoise, Chu Hao’s roc which had the potential to advance to a golden king of the rocs, Lei Ying’s saber tooth tiger, and many other types of beats.
All the contract beasts had good bloodlines since they came from the ancient battlefield which used to be part of the immortal realm.
In this case, even if they went to the upper realm, their contract beasts would probably be ranked among the top because of their pure bloodlines.
Even in the immortal realm, it wasn’t easy to find such good contract beasts.
Mainly because demon beasts in the Immortal Realm had higher intelligence due to the density of spiritual energy or immortal qi.
As a result, they didn’t want to be treated like beasts of burden and become fighting tools for selfish humans.
