Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 141: Absorbing the Strange Crystal
Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Absorbing the Strange Crystal
Chu Miao stretched her hand and picked up the crystal inside the box. She felt her palm grow warm and a pure energy that felt like it had the same origin as the light spiritual power she had awakened in both lifetimes passed through her skin.
She felt her body respond by absorbing the energy greedily. It was as if the energy inside her body had become sentient and could resonate with the one in the crystal.
It was working hard, absorbing the crystal and merging it into her meridians. Chu Miao felt her body grow comfortable and the spiritual power within her increase.
She immediately sat down without a care and started to circulate her cultivation technique. She held the crystal in her hand more firmly and concentrated on absorbing the spiritual energy.
She felt her meridians expand to almost twice their original size and her dantian increase by a size. Her dantian was already different from other people and was bigger than normal, but now, it had expanded again.
She wondered what kind of spiritual energy was contained in the crystal and why it was so potent.
However, she felt a sharp pain in her meridians that spread through her body making her groan in pain.
It was so painful that she wanted to stop the absorption process. However, the benefits she already felt after absorbing the crystal energy for a while gave her the determination to hold on.
Nevertheless, the pain was unbearable. She could feel her meridians expanding and some bursting open.
Blood oozed from her pores and the pain almost drove her insane. She could no longer hear anything except for the sound of her own meridians being torn apart.
Soon, she realized that this was only the beginning. Her dantian had expanded too much and also formed cracks.
When she felt the piercing pain in her dantian, she used her divine sense to examine the situation within her body and realized that it had become a mess.
Before, her dantian was divided into two with one side holding spiritual energy that she cultivated using ancient cultivation techniques and another had a crystal core with superpower energy awakened when the apocalypse began.
However, at this moment, everything was a mess and she couldn’t tell which energy was which one.
The two parts of her dantian had divided themselves and she didn’t know how to do it. So, she could only watch as everything continued to mix up.
The pain she was experiencing almost made her want to die. It felt like someone was slicing her flesh piece by piece and grinding her bones part by part.
This was the most painful experience in both of her lifetimes. Even when a spear went through her heart before and she died, or when that truck hit her, she didn’t feel this kind of pain.
However, she knew that this was definitely a trial set by the senior who left the inheritance.
It was impossible for them to find the inheritance just because they solved a few challenges and got here.
This was obviously the real test. If she gave up, then everything she had already gained might be lost.
She wasn’t sure if there were other consequences, but she was sure that giving up halfway would not be a good thing.
Moreover, she could feel herself getting stronger even through the pain and splattering blood.
Her cultivation had already soared to the seventh level of Qi refinement and it was still rising.
So, she decided that unless she was on her last breath, no matter how painful it was, she would not give up. She was determined to get all the benefits from this inheritance, even though she still hasn’t figured out what it was.
After making her decision, Chu Miao stopped thinking about the pain and examining her body and concentrated solely on absorbing the energy from the crystal.
To her surprise, as soon as she decided to go all the way until her last breath without giving up, the pain lessened, and soon disappeared.
Her meridians started to repair themselves and heal. The cracks in her dantian started to disappear as well and her cultivation advanced to the Qi refinement level eight.
She now only needed to advance one level then she could break through to the foundation establishment realm.
This was like a miracle to her. Even though she had experienced some similar incidents before, none of them had given her such benefits.
She now realized that what she had gone through was the real trial and it was testing her courage.
If she didn’t have the courage to keep going when she detected danger and instead chose to give up she would have failed and all the benefits obtained would have been lost.
Moreover, everything might have backfired and maybe her ability to use the space ring was affected.
It was obvious that the ancestors didn’t want to give their legacy to a coward who couldn’t lead the Chu family to a prosperous future.
Chu Miao emptied all her thoughts and went back to cultivating wholeheartedly.
Her cultivation finally stabilized at the peak of the eighth level of Qi refinement and at the same time, all the broken meridians and cracked dantian had healed completely.
Moreover, the meridians were now twice as wide as before, meaning that her cultivation in the future would be even faster.
Her dantian had also expanded significantly and could now store more spiritual energy. Even if other cultivators were to appear in this world, she was sure that she could challenge someone at a higher level than her and not necessarily lose.
All of a sudden, the crystal in her hand turned into a streak of blue light and rushed into her body through her forehead between her brows.
Even though she had her eyes closed, her divine sense that was scanning her body witnessed this scene and followed the light which settled in her dantian.
Once it was settled, it regained its appearance as a crystal and the light shining from it illuminated every part of her dantian.
