Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 543: The Peaceful Village

The air inside the village was so fresh it was unbelievable. There was no the familiar rotten stench of zombies or the suffocating impurities caused by years of industrial pollution.

What was even more unbelievable was the scene of children playing and running around as if life was completely normal.

There were adults moving about as well. Some were tending to vegetables in gardens, others were washing clothes, and others were just sitting around talking to each other.

Old men sat down under a tree near the village entrance playing Chinese chess. There were a dozen old ladies dancing in a small square and laughing at the silly mistakes some of them made as if they had never experienced the apocalypse for a day.

This was a scene that hadn’t been seen ever since mass fever spread the zombie virus.

Both Chu Miao and Ye Xuan couldn’t believe that there was still such a clean place in the world.

Chu Miao closed her eyes and took a deep breath concentrating on the air components.

She was surprised to realize that the air was completely pure and filled with purified spiritual energy.

The crystal inside her dantian was rotating faster than she had ever experienced and her body was unconsciously absorbing spiritual energy.

"Such pure spiritual energy." She muttered softly under her breath.

Ye Xuan, however, still heard her. He had also realized that the village was a cultivation paradise for anyone.

The spiritual energy was not only pure but also dense. Cultivating there would help a cultivator improve faster than outside.

Even faster than inside the Soul Ring. This was because even though there was dense spiritual energy inside the Soul Ring and time flow was slower, the spiritual energy wasn’t as pure as it was in that village.

If they cultivated there for a few days, their cultivation would soar. Additionally, it would help to stabilize their foundation due to the pure spiritual energy.

This meant that in the future, facing someone of the same level was not a challenge at all.

They could cross a whole realm to kill someone.

"The spiritual energy is indeed very pure. I haven’t felt something so pure since that secret realm we had stumbled upon in the Immortal Realm when we met." Ye Xuan also said as he looked around.

There was also the pressure from the array formation on their mental strength and divine sense.

If they weren’t constantly trying to resist, their divine sense would have been hurt.

The pressure inside the village was more abundant than outside. Cultivating to strengthen their divine sense and soul power there would be much better than outside.

The results would also be faster than before.

By this time, the children running around had stopped playing and huddled together in a yard a distance away watching the two strangers like aliens.

The old men playing chess had also stopped and were carefully observing the two as if to determine whether they were enemies or lost sheep.

Even those tending to the gardens had stopped to watch them.

Fortunately, the two of them were used to big scenes and didn’t think there was anything wrong with being watched.

They finally put away their surprised expressions and walked over to the old men.

Since in this life they weren’t the immortal king and queen and treated themselves as juniors, they didn’t put on airs of cultivators.

They both bowed to the old men and apologized.

"Sorry for intruding on your peaceful life. We were passing by and sensed something wrong with this place so we came in to check." Chu Miao explained why they were there humbly.

The old men were her grandfather’s age and since she respected her grandfather, she would also respect others as long as they didn’t cross her.

"Come and sit down. We haven’t had visitors here for months. You are welcome." One of the old men stood up to talk to the two and invited them to sit down.

He turned around and waved at two women who were preparing some vegetables.

The two understood immediately and brought over two chairs.

Chu Miao and Ye Xuan sat down facing the old men who didn’t seem to understand how someone had managed to come into their village.

"How did you come in?" One of the old men asked.

"What do you mean?" Chu Miao asked a question of her own because she didn’t understand what he meant.

Looking at Chu Miao and Ye Xuan’s confused expressions, the old men understood immediately.

"You mean you were just able to walk into the village without any issues?" Another old man asked curiously.

"Yeah. We saw the village entrance and realized that there was a lot of activity around it and decided to come and take a look." Chu Miao explained while still puzzled.

Why did it feel like the old men meant that even the village entrance wasn’t supposed to be found?

Was there a secret in this village other than the array?

"Daughter-in-law, go and call the village chief." The old man who had spoken first turned to call one of the women washing clothes and asked her to go look for the chief.

Chu Miao knew then that the village had a history.

"Where did you come from?" Another old man asked. His face was friendly and kind as if he had lived smiling most of his life.

His eyes also showed a kind light that would make people comfortable even if they were strangers.

"We are traveling from City C to City A." Ye Xuan replied, his eyes still constantly scanning the area around them.

It was a habit coming from his years of training as a soldier and performing dangerous missions.

He was never one to take things on face value because that could lie.

However, the small details that many ignored was what told him about the real situation.

So, he was trying to see if the village was as harmless as it looked on the surface.

Sorry everyone for disappearing on you. I had hurt my hand and couldn’t write, so I had to heal for a few days.
