Chapter 396: Chapter 262: 90 Degrees is a Wall, 89 Degrees Then it’s a Slope!

The speed of the high-speed train was extremely fast.

However, Chen Yun, who snagged a lift without a ticket, didn’t stay on the high-speed train for long.

Although high-speed trains often tunnel through mountains and bridge over waters,

these actions are not undertaken deliberately but are necessities.

This is because the design concept of high-speed trains seeks a balance between efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Tunneling and bridging overcome geographical obstacles, but they also imply high construction and maintenance costs.

Therefore, when planning high-speed rail lines, there’s a preference to choose areas with flat terrain and stable geology to reduce unnecessary engineering work.

Only when encountering mountains or rivers that cannot be bypassed do they opt to tunnel and bridge to ensure the smooth passage of the trains.

Under such conditions,

the high-speed train only travels through a short distance between forests and lakes or rivers.

Once they leave the cover of forests and water bodies,

the number of people outside begins to increase.

It’s rather impolite to continue hitching a lift at this time.

Others will notice his presence, given that he can’t make himself invisible.

Imagine,

while waiting for a train on the platform, farming in the fields, or driving beside the railway,

if a person calmly sat on a speeding train passing by.

Such an action would definitely attract attention.

And it would likely be captured and uploaded online, leading to widespread criticism.

After all, this kind of behavior is extremely unsafe and likely violates public security management punishment laws.

Chen Yun didn’t want to become an internet sensation.

At least during his global travels, he didn’t want to become famous for such actions or his unusual behavior.

He preferred to pass through places lightly, playing and visiting.

Leaving some stories about himself inadvertently.

Like previously in that small town, where he gave someone a wonderful dream.

Pondering,

after leaving the high-speed train for a while,

Chen Yun soon departed from the Sichuan region, following the forests next to the highway.

Signs by the roadside read, "Welcome to Shanxi."

Arriving here meant not only entering Shanxi territory but also meant he was closer to the Qinling.

Chen Yun quickened his pace.

Before long, he arrived beside the Han River.

He didn’t know which river it was.

But since it flowed from east to west and was so large, situated at the southern edge of Shanxi,

it was very likely the Han River.

The Han River runs through Shanxi, originating from Boshong Mountain in Ningqiang County, Han Zhong City of Shanxi; it’s the Yangtze River’s largest tributary with a length of 1577 kilometers.

Looking at this vast expanse of water,

Chen Yun could feel its grandeur.

The Han River, like a silver ribbon, meandered through the embrace of Shanxi.

The river was wide, with gentle, glistening waves.

The sunshine sprinkled on the water’s surface, twinkling with flecks of gold.

Both banks were lined with shaded green trees, dotted with wildflowers, and an occasional water bird skimmed the water, rippling circles in its wake.

In the distance, the undulating mountains appeared like a series of ink paintings.

Clear, layered, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Chen Yun tarried here, deeply captivated by this tranquility and grandeur, as if time had frozen at this moment.

He came from Jiangnan and had lived in Sichuan for a long time.

He was all too familiar with the Yangtze River, having flowed through both these places.

Yet, the sight of its largest tributary still subtly evoked a sense of awe.

This was one of the meanings of travel.

Seeing unseen things always made one stop in their tracks.

However, beautiful as the scenery was,

Chen Yun’s journey continued.

Without hesitation, he wrapped his body with telekinesis to separate himself from water and leaped into the Han River.

Next, he would cross the Han River.

He had reached Han River.

The Qinling could almost be said to be within arm’s reach.

Because the Han River is closely related to the Qinling, originating from the southern foot of the Qinling at Boshong Mountain.

The Qinling is an important mountain range in the central part of Hua Country, dividing the country’s south and north and serving as the watershed between the Yangtze and Huang He river systems.

Specifically, since the Han River originates in the Qinling Mountain Range, it could be said that the Han River and the Qinling are geographically seamlessly connected.

If one were to quantify the "distance" between them, it could be stated that the Han River’s source directly touches the Qinling mountains, with no apparent gap.

However, if speaking of the distance between specific points in the Han River basin and the Qinling Mountain Range, like the distance from a Han River city to the foot of the Qinling, then that value would vary based on the precise location.

Just like where Chen Yun was at the moment.

He was only about thirty kilometers away from the Qinling.

So, he forcefully threw his backpack across the river while ensuring with telekinesis that it wouldn’t land too hard.

Then, he decisively jumped into the Han River, hastening his approach to the Qinling.

The light silly dog Bai Jin was levitated above the water by his telekinesis, looking rather calm, apparently getting used to Chen Yun’s bold actions.

The moment Chen Yun dove into the Han River, he felt a coolness and vitality.

The current was swift,

but under the protection of his telekinesis, it seemed to gently part, allowing him a smooth journey.

Of course, even without the use of telekinesis, he could have relied on the most primitive, most violent strength to forcibly carve a path.

The underwater world was quite wondrous.

Similar to other water landscapes but also a bit different, with more localized plants and fish species.

Fish darted around, and the water plants swayed with the current.

A vivid underwater scroll had formed.

After the slumber evolution, Chen Yun, who had dealt with Water too much, was not overly nostalgic about the scenery here.

He quickly swam across the Han River and surfaced on the opposite bank.

Thanks to the increasingly skilled membrane formed by his telekinesis, there wasn’t even a drop of water on him, so there was no need to take off his clothes before entering the water as before.

It was like carrying a Water Repelling Spell with him.

Basking in the warmth of the sunlight on his skin once again.

Chen Yun took large strides towards the deeper parts of the Qinling Mountains.

He ascended along the winding path, the scenery along the way was remarkably refreshing.

Ancient trees touched the sky, birds sang among the fragrant flowers, and brooks babbled.

Every sight revealed the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

However, as he finally neared his destination, Chen Yun realized that the location he had landed on the Qinling was not very convenient.

Within the 600-meter range of his spiritual perception, he found no path that could be called a road; all there was were near-vertical cliff faces.

Clearly, this was not a place where a normal person looking to enter the Qinling would come.

Even professional climbers would have to ponder a long time on how to get a foothold.

Theoretically, he should have taken a detour to find a place where he could climb the mountain.

But that was just the theory for ordinary people.

Chen Yun just glanced at it.

And he could tell that the cliff, over two hundred meters high, was not ninety degrees, but more like eighty-something degrees.

For ordinary people, this was a precipitous cliff—essentially, a wall.

But if eighty-nine degrees was a wall to others.

To him, wasn’t it just a slope?

Chen Yun couldn’t help but think so; with his strength of several hundred tons and his extremely fast speed, even the slightest slope was something he could use as leverage and to maneuver.

Of course, Chen Yun had never actually tried that.

In the past, he had used his fists and feet to forcefully smash holes into the mountain to create points to leverage off of.

So, looking at the "slope" in front of him, Chen Yun decided to give it a try.

He put Bai Jin into his backpack and took a deep breath.

Gazing at the "slope" in front of him.

Even though he knew his physical abilities far exceeded those of an ordinary person, he couldn’t help but feel a burst of excitement and nervousness facing such a challenge.

He could smash his hands and feet directly into the cliffside and carve out footholds, but that was not the type of violent ascent he wished to challenge at the moment.

He decided to use a special climbing method.

Combining strength and speed to propel his body against the cliff like a cannonball.

Then, with each brief contact with the cliff, he would adjust his posture and continue the upward sprint.

Thinking this way.

He backed up a few steps and then dashed forward fiercely.

As he neared the cliff.

His legs forcefully pushed against the ground, causing it to crack and break apart.

And like a cheetah, he leaped into the air.

His hands swiftly latched onto the slight gaps in the rocks, using the tiny protrusions and indentations to instantly change direction and leap upwards.

It was only as Chen Yun truly began climbing that he discovered.

This was not difficult for him at all.

Because this was not an absolutely smooth cliffside.

He didn’t need to rely on that eighty-nine-degree minute angle for leverage as he had imagined.

At this moment, any crevice or protrusion was a place Chen Yun could easily leverage off of.

This made the challenge far less difficult.

This climbing method tested both bodily coordination and precise strength control, but for Chen Yun, that seemed to be no issue.

Like Spiderman, he moved quickly along the cliff, each leap astonishing to witness.

Trees and flowers rapidly whisked past him.

The wind howled.

Yet, Chen Yun’s mind was extraordinarily calm.

He was completely engrossed in the challenge at hand, reveling in the joy of close contact with nature.

The sensation of climbing and freely flipping one’s body in the wild was something that couldn’t be experienced while cooped up at home.

Chen Yun quickly reached the top of the cliff.

Standing there, he looked down at the magnificent scenery below, and a profound sense of fulfillment surged within him.

The grand spectacle of the Qinling lay before his eyes.

Rolling mountain ranges, lush forests.

Everything was so vibrant, teeming with unprecedented vigor.

In that moment, Chen Yun felt as if he was one with the entire world.

Descending from here, he would truly delve into the Qinling.

Qinling was not only a natural treasure trove but also a habitat for various rare animals and plants.

It could be said to be the largest primitive forest and mountain region he had explored so far, and he anticipated discovering more unknown secrets on this land that was not yet fully explored by humans.

Chen Yun might encounter all kinds of creatures.

There would be the adorable pandas, agile macaques, and many birds and insects whose names he couldn’t call.

Each life form would freely grow on this land, forming one complex yet harmonious ecosystem after another.

Chen Yun would carefully observe everything, trying his best not to disturb their lives.

When night fell, Chen Yun would find a relatively flat area to look up at the starry sky.

And contemplate his future journey while stargazing.

The Qinling were vast and limitless.

The world was even more so, and he had just begun to explore a corner of this mysterious land.

But he did not feel fear.

On the contrary, he was filled with anticipation for the future.

Chen Yun knew that this would be a long and arduous journey.

But he believed he could conquer everything.

Qinling, this ancient and mysterious place, was just the starting point; his goal was the whole world.
