Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 125: Confessing About Cultivation

"There’s something I would like to tell you but it would be better if you didn’t tell anyone else for the time being." Chu Miao said as she turned to face Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan took her hand and caressed it a little to reassure her. In fact, he had wanted to hold her hand since he entered the Chu family apartment but as they were in front of the elders, he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous.

Now that it was only the two of them, he could hold her hand openly without any reservations.

"Go on, as long as you tell me not to say anything to anyone, I will take whatever you tell me to the grave. So, don’t worry." Ye Xuan said.

Chu Miao knew that he was telling the truth. The military training he received and his own integrity would not allow him to divulge information that was classified as secret.

So, she had decided to talk to him about cultivation and probably help him start cultivating.

This way, he would become stronger faster and be more helpful later on when their sect took off. She wanted to have an equal partner in her journey and having a stronger one makes more sense.

Besides, if she couldn’t trust Ye Xuan with such information, how was she going to teach it to others in the future?

Yes, she had plans to teach those who joined their sect cultivation techniques. This way, the current world can have some of the advantages the ancient era had and gain another layer of protection that could help with the survival of humanity.

Luckily, she had noticed that since the fog appeared in the beginning of the apocalypse, the spiritual energy in the air had increased.

When she first woke up in the hospital and tried to cultivate, the spiritual energy was so thin it was negligible, but now, one could feel it after trying for a while.

Even though it couldn’t compare to the dense spiritual energy in the space ring, this was already better than nothing. Those who are able to cultivate will take longer to advance levels and without other resources, they would probably never reach the foundation establishment stage, but even being at the Qi level three and above was already good.

With such power, they can at least run to save themselves even if they couldn’t fight.

Ye Xuan was going to be the first person outside of the Chu family who became a cultivator in the modern world.

"It’s not that serious, but yes, for the time being, it’s better to keep it to yourself and wait for the right time to tell others.

It won’t be long, but it’s better to become stronger first." Chu Miao explained.

Although she thought it would be good to let Ye Xuan’s brothers learn as well, she thought it was better for Ye Xuan to be the pioneer and teach them later.

Waiting until instant communication including phone calls, messages, emails, basically the communication systems to collapse before teaching more people and starting recruitment was the best way to prevent greedy people from causing trouble for her family.

"Okay, whatever you say goes." Ye Xuan didn’t know the extent of the sensitivity of the information she was going to give him, so he decided to listen first and decide what to do.

Of course, he would keep his promise and not tell a soul without his girlfriend’s permission, but if the issue could put her in danger, he would persuade her not to tell another person. Even his brothers.

Not that he didn’t trust them, but he knew sometimes someone might let some information leaked without intending to or even realizing it.

Like that talkative scientist he was supposed to go pick up later.

"Have you heard of cultivation?" Chu Miao first asked this question to understand the level of his knowledge in this field.

"Yes, it was a way of life in ancient times. People cultivated to achieve immortality and became stronger and lived longer." Ye Xuan replied.

"Then if I tell you that I can help you cultivate, would you be willing to? It might be painful at the beginning because you have to open your meridian channels, but after they are open, you don’t feel any discomfort." Chu Miao asked because even though she thought it was a good thing, she couldn’t force anyone.

"As long as it’s something that can help in becoming stronger and being able to protect you and everyone else I care about, a little pain is nothing." He reassured her that he was not afraid of pain.

He had suffered so many fatal injuries during his service in the military and almost lost his life countless times, he could endure some pain that would allow him to get stronger.

"This is the Chu family’s legacy left behind by our ancestors. It’s just that over thousands of years, without anyone being able to trigger it, people in the family started to believe that it was just a myth.

Since no one knew what the legacy really was, as time went by, the information passed down from generation to generation declined until no one knew about it anymore.

However, over three months ago, probably around the same time that space portal you talked about was opened for a second, the Chu family inheritance was also triggered and appeared in the world.

Of course, no one knew anything about it, but fortunately, it came with ancient books that helped us understand the situation and the purpose of the inheritance left behind by our ancestors.

You heard grandpa talk about a prophecy yesterday right?"

"Yes, I remember though it confused me." Ye Xuan said. Indeed, he was still confused about that prophecy even at this moment. He couldn’t decipher it.

"It’s a prophecy talking about the end of the world and mentioning the person who triggered the inheritance as the one who would lead humanity to survive the apocalypse and build a new world." Chu Miao explained again.

"Oh, now I get it. And that person is...?"
