Chapter 420: Chapter 274: Are There Really More People Underground Than Above Ground?

When there was nothing of interest to see on the journey, people naturally picked up the pace.

Chen Yun did the same.

After observing the animals he wanted to see in the Qinling, Chen Yun quickly left the area.

Although the terrain was rugged and complex,

For him, it was essentially the definition of walking on level ground.

After all, he could now move freely on nearly vertical cliffs, and with a mere jump, he could cross a hundred meters of open space.

It didn’t take long.

Chen Yun had arrived outside the Qinling.

With his keen sense of direction, he headed straight for Xi’an, the big city to the north of the Qinling.

As Chen Yun moved away from the lush forests of the Qinling, he found himself crossing through patches of low shrubs and sparse trees, with civilization gradually thickening around him.

On both sides of the road began to appear farmhouses and fields, and occasionally one could see the chimneys of small factories emitting wisps of blue smoke.

As he approached more populated areas, Chen Yun noticed the traffic on the roads becoming busier.

Chen Yun’s perception ability kept him highly alert to everything around him, even the faintest sound or scent couldn’t escape his notice.

So he noticed from a distance that there were significantly more traffic police than usual at some key intersections and highway entrances.

At that,

Chen Yun had a faint guess.

Perhaps...

Was it because of the commotion he had caused in the Qinling?

Regarding this, Chen Yun had actually anticipated it.

But the sudden addition of the thunder and lightning ability and that terrifyingly explosive physical strength were simply too exciting to contain.

Moreover, he felt he could afford to be a bit louder now.

So even he couldn’t help but to release some steam on occasion.

It wasn’t surprising that this drew some attention.

Chen Yun didn’t think these people would discover anything more, as he habitually left no footprints or fingerprints, and his biological tissues would dissolve once detached from his body.

It was essentially very safe.

Nonetheless, while he thought this, he decided to keep a distance.

Chen Yun’s physical strength and agility allowed him to easily navigate any terrain, and his perception ability helped him anticipate and avoid any potential trouble.

Whether cameras or crowds, he could easily sidestep them.

He was confident there would be no issues.

A long time ago, he could easily avoid the cameras, and as he had grown more powerful, it was naturally even easier now.

With a range of seven hundred meters of Transparent World Perception, he could not only detect every corner camera from afar and plan a perfect route to evade everyone’s and the cameras’ line of sight.

He could also use telekinesis to adjust the angle of the cameras, use a leaf to block their view...

Or he could use his spiritual power to make people zone out, so they wouldn’t notice him casually passing by.

In short.

He had plenty of tricks.

He was like a ghost walking among humans, never to be detected.

The situation was naturally the same at that moment.

The somewhat formed blockade by the mere addition of a few traffic police wasn’t very intense; besides, the Qinling’s terrain was complex and interconnected in all directions.

Therefore, Chen Yun easily circumvented the blockade.

Afterward, he chose the more secluded, yet still Xi’an-bound roads to avoid unnecessary contact as much as possible.

Where he couldn’t avoid it, he could still blend in using his extraordinary abilities.

As time passed.

The outline of Xi’an gradually appeared on the horizon.

This city, as one of the ancient capitals in Chinese history, carried a profound cultural heritage, while also being a modern metropolis.

Chen Yun quickened his pace, filled with anticipation for this city.

Xi’an was home not only to the world-renowned historical sites such as the Terracotta Army and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but also bustling modern commercial districts and advanced technological parks.

The traces of history were extremely deep.

Before Chen Yun entered the city,

He had already felt the uniqueness of this city.

In fact, for Chen Yun who had traveled all the way here, it was simply too special.

Common knowledge it was.

Chen Yun’s seven hundred-meter range of Transparent World Perception, a spherical range centered on himself,

Not only encompassing front, back, left, and right, but also above and below.

He could perceive everything up to seven hundred meters underground.

For Chen Yun,

It was the first time he had come across such a place.

There, it didn’t take long to see many tombs and relics underground.

He could clearly sense some complex structures underground, akin to a huge labyrinth, each corner hiding ancient secrets.

The tombs he sensed didn’t stand in isolation, instead forming an expansive network stretching across multiple eras, from the noble burials of the Zhou Dynasty, to the imperial tombs of the Qin Han period, to the royal tombs of the Sui and Tang, and even the aristocratic graves of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

These tombs were layered upon each other, some intertwined, others standalone, forming a complicated system akin to an underground city.

In some tombs, there were still exquisite murals preserved; despite millennia, the colors remained vibrant, vividly portraying the scenes of life at that time, mythical stories, and aspirations for the afterlife.

Additionally, Chen Yun discovered many burial objects, from gold and silver vessels to jade items, from bronze weapons to ceramic products, each carrying the cultural and artistic hallmarks of their times.
