Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 144: The Test
Chapter 144: Chapter 144: The Test
"In this way, even if someone else took the ring, they couldn’t use it. Also, even though people without the Chu family bloodline could enter this space, they must be brought in by the owner of the ring, who possesses the Chu family bloodline." Chu Batian continued to explain.
"So, what you are saying is that the v n if someone else found this ring, it’s the same as a beauty accessory and wouldn’t open the space?" Chu Miao asked.
"Yes, unless they have the Chu family bloodline, it’s useless. Moreover, not every member of the Chu family could contract it. Only someone deemed to have a strong soul could do it. Otherwise traveling through time and space would tear the soul apart in the void." Chu Batian replied as he looked at Chu Miao with admiration.
He could tell that her bone age was young, still a teenager, and so was her soul.
To think that a teenager had a soul strong enough to travel through space and time safely was unbelievable. But the evidence was right in front of him and he couldn’t deny it.
Chu Miao pondered about this information for a while and understood what senior Chu Batian meant.
However, he was only nine years old when the soul ring accepted her as its master. Did it judge at that age that she had a strong soul?
She raised her head to ask this question only to realize that the body of the senior seemed more transparent than before. When he first appeared, he looked like a normal person but now it was like a fading illusion.
All of a sudden, she panicked as if she would never see him again. She didn’t understand why she was affected so much since they had just met for the first time and didn’t know each other.
"Senior, what happened to you?" She asked with concern.
Looking at her panicked and concerned face, Chu Batian was even more certain that the sacrifices made were worth it.
Chu family members still cared about each other as always and would protect each other no matter what.
"I am not really a living entity. What you see is just a wisp of my soul I left behind when the Soul ring was crafted. I wanted to leave my sword techniques to a promising successor so that they could use it to protect other Chu family members.
What you experienced just now was a trial to see whether you have the courage to take risks that might cost your life if it meant having the opportunity to gain the ability to protect others.
It also tested whether in a moment of extreme agony, you would be selfish and only care about your wellbeing or you would think about your family first.
Passing these tests could show that at least you have the spirit of the Chu family where members would not hesitate to sacrifice their own lives to protect others.
The same way those who repeatedly conducted divination to find a way to protect the Chu family did." Chu Batian continued to explain with admiration for the two youngsters.
"So, when I was in pain with my meridians breaking and even dantian cracking, it was to test if I had the courage to continue receiving the inheritance knowing that I might die, or choose to give up to preserve my own life even if it meant losing all the benefits I had gained?" Chu Miao now understood the content of her test and why she had gone through so much pain.
"Yes, and you chose to receive the inheritance even with the risk of death." Chu Batian said with a smile.
"And for me, it was how painful the process of absorbing the spiritual energy was and how I had to choose to endure in order to prevent myself from affecting my sister in case she was at a critical stage." Chu Hao stated with certainty.
"Mmm. Actually, even if any of you had acted the opposite, you wouldn’t have affected the other. Except for losing the benefits, nothing else would have happened.
However, I am glad that the Chu family of today still has the spirit of the Chu family of thousands of years ago." Chu Batian said with gratification.
At the same time, his apparition faded further as if it would disappear at any moment.
Seeing that he didn’t have much time left, he left a final message.
"Do not fear, we are generals who charge into battle to win. No matter how strong the enemy is, the Chu family spirit will protect our lineage and bloodline."
Saying this the apparition had almost disappeared.
Seeing this, Chu Miao got anxious as she had not figured out what that crystal that had entered her dantian was and what its uses were. Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked.
"Senior, the blue crystal in the box has entered my dantian, what is it and will it affect my cultivation?"
Hearing the question, Chu Batian smiled and said, "It’s a blue moon crystal that has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon from the beginning of the world. I had not figured out if it has any other uses, but it can help you speed up your cultivation by supplying you with spiritual power.
You can explore the rest yourself."
Hearing that the crystal could help speed up her cultivation, Chu Miao was overjoyed. She didn’t care if it had any other uses. Just supplying her with spiritual energy to cultivate was enough.
Chu Batian turned to Chu Hao and told him, "The sword techniques imprinted in your head can be practiced in steps. Don’t try to overreach and practice gradually.
Once you have mastered all the levels of the technique, I believe no one in the world would challenge your swordsmanship.
When he heard this, Chu Hao was also happy. He couldn’t wait to start practicing.
Seeing that Chu Batian was about to completely disappear, both Chu Miao and Chu Hao bowed towards him and thanked him.
"Thank you senior for your generosity. We will make sure the Chu family prospers no matter the circumstances."
When he heard that promise, Chu Batian was content and could now leave in peace.
His apparition turned into specks of light and disappeared into the air.
