Chapter 79 Heading to Chang'an
Following the underground auction incident in Suzhou.
Throughout the entire planet Earth, there are those ancient, celestial realms.
They all received warnings from the Xia Kingdom.
Of course, this is definitely outside the realm of the secular world.
Rather, the entire ancient cultivation world on the Blue Star, including the Yanhuang Kunlun, Qinling Shennong, Fusang Yingzhou, Penglai Fangzhang, and other major secret realms, all received the warning.
As for that middle-aged couple, we need to find out which sect or secret realm took them away and tell them to hand them over within three days!
For a time, all these traditions felt bewildered.
Portraits and photographs of Yun Chen's parents quickly spread among these lineages.
After thoroughly investigating each of the various secret realms, no one was found to be there.
Just then, a cultivator from the Fusang Secret Realm suddenly provided a clue, saying he remembered this matter.
So, that person took a plane to Xia Country that very day, and was taken away by the Dragon Group the moment he got off the plane.
Ten days after the underground auction in Suzhou, Yun Chen received a personal audience with Zhu Houcong.
They met again at the ancient temple in the scenic area outside Suzhou, but this time they met at sunrise.
The two sat facing each other under the ancient pine tree.
Zhu Houcong said bluntly, "A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Fusang Secret Realm said he had met your parents. This person has now come to Xia Kingdom and is in our Dragon Group. Would you like to meet him?"
Yun Chen nodded: "Yes, I'll go to the Dragon Group!"
Zhu Houcong spread his hands, and a magical artifact appeared in his palm. It was a small boat that looked like a carved walnut boat, but every detail on the boat was lifelike and very vivid.
"Bearing the laws of Heaven, vast and boundless..."
While making hand gestures and chanting incantations, Zhu Houcong threw the small boat out. The boat swelled up as soon as it caught the wind, instantly becoming three or four meters tall and hovering in mid-air, looking exactly like the real thing, with every detail being genuine.
Then, Zhu Houcong took out several spirit stones, suddenly crushed them, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy rushed into the small boat.
"Fellow Daoist, come with me."
"We can get to Chang'an within half an hour."
Zhu Houcong said this to Yun Chen.
Seeing this, Yun Chen shook his head slightly.
"Don't waste the spirit stones. I'll be waiting for you in Chang'an. I'll contact you when you arrive!"
He left behind only one sentence before disappearing from the spot.
Zhu Houcong was left dumbfounded, his face filled with shock.
"A Nascent Soul cultivator—no, he should be called a Deity Transformation expert!"
His lips trembled as he spoke.
To know.
Chang'an is 3,600 li away from Suzhou, which is about 1,600 kilometers in modern terms.
Even the fastest train or plane ride takes one or two hours.
He had used a magical artifact to rush to Suzhou.
This cost several spirit stones as a price.
And the other party simply flew away into the sky.
Its speed was even faster than when he activated his magical artifact.
That can only be a Nascent Soul cultivator or a Divine Transformation expert.
Zhu Houcong calmed his shock, then leaped into the air and landed lightly on the small magical artifact boat. He activated it, and it transformed into a beam of light that instantly disappeared into the horizon.
After half an hour.
Zhu Houcong landed near Chang'an.
A message that traveled a thousand miles reached his mind, and he immediately rushed to a mountain range more than ten kilometers south of Chang'an City.
Yun Chen had been waiting here for half an hour.
He released his divine sense and swept across the entire city, which was filled with high-rise buildings and dense residential areas. Whether it was a commercial center, industrial zone, or technology park, each had its own dedicated area.
Chang'an, the capital of China, is located in the heart of the Central Plains. The city is vast, with a maximum diameter of fifty kilometers, and is home to nearly twenty million people. It is a modern metropolis and a famous historical city, integrating political, cultural, and technological centers!
Yun Chen naturally noticed something unusual.
This place is truly a hidden gem, not only boasting numerous cultivators, but also dozens at the Golden Core stage. Furthermore, someone has used the city's rivers, waterways, and street network as array veins to set up a grand Bagua and Five Elements Feng Shui array to protect the entire Chang'an City.
This kind of foundation is truly profound.
Ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to discern such profound knowledge.
This was not Yun Chen's first time in Chang'an, but this was the first time he had seen Chang'an with such a rich history and witnessed its true nature.
The two were on the snow-white peaks of the mountains south of the city.
Zhu Houcong said, "Fellow Daoist, please come into the city with me."
He wanted to remind Yun Chen to keep a low profile, but he kept quiet.
After all, Chang'an is protected by a powerful formation.
The great formation is extremely sensitive to the aura of cultivators. Once a cultivator enters the range of the great formation in Chang'an, they will be immediately locked on.
Yun Chen could only walk into the city with Zhu Houcong.
He also wanted to see the Dragon Group, but his immediate priority was to meet the monk who claimed to have met his parents.
Soon, the two entered the city center. Zhu Houcong led Yun Chen into a secret high-speed elevator. As the elevator descended, the two entered a huge underground city.
Beneath Chang'an lies a colossal underground city.
Furthermore, this underground city is still functioning normally.
It is more than a thousand meters underground.
After World War III, the underground city was already built. After being bombed by tens of thousands of nuclear bombs, the surface collapsed and became uninhabitable, so everyone moved to live in the underground city.
It wasn't until the advent of nuclear decontamination technology, which could neutralize nuclear radiation and various ionized dust particles from nuclear bombings and purify the environment, that people gradually moved back to living on the surface.
At this moment, the entire underground area was bathed in light.
The highest point is only two hundred meters.
There are many artificial suns in the sky below, created using nuclear fusion technology, used for lighting. There are also night skies and countless stars created by various technologies, simulating the day and night cycle and normal routines on the Earth's surface.
However, ordinary people no longer live here.
The entire underground city is very spacious, with a diameter of no more than 30 kilometers. The buildings and residences are very densely packed, and all kinds of basic living facilities are available. Based on this building density, it is no problem to accommodate tens of millions of people.
When Yun Chen entered the underground city, everyone he encountered was a cultivator.
Not a soldier, not a martial artist.
Instead, he was a monk.
The weakest are those who have just begun to cultivate Qi, and the strongest are those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
When they met Zhu Houcong, they all respectfully addressed him as the Grand Elder.
The number of people is not large.
At this moment, deep within this underground megacity.
There is an ancient palace, not very luxurious, built entirely of sturdy blue bricks and tiles.
Yun Chen followed Zhu Houcong here.
The aura of the people in the palace also became deeper.
"Elder!!"
Soon, all the cultivators clasped their hands in a salute.
Entering the palace, it's like entering an ancient hall, with a huge circular conference table set up with various sophisticated high-tech instruments and modern electronic devices!
These people were dressed in light, long robes.
Upon entering, Yun Chen noticed that one person was quite special, clearly displaying strong hostility towards him. Although the person concealed it well, Yun Chen caught it with ease.
This is a young man who looks to be about thirty years old.
I'm sitting here right now, looking at some documents.
He was young and handsome.
Moreover, he is a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
This level of cultivation is incredibly powerful!
In the martial arts world, that would be considered an existence surpassing even a grandmaster!
At the underground auction in Suzhou, the strongest of the various experts who appeared was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
This young man is quite extraordinary.
Zhu Houcong said, "This man is called Yang Mu. He comes from the Fusang Secret Realm. He says he has personally met your father and mother."
Zhu Houcong then looked at the young man Yang Mu and said, "This is Fellow Daoist Yun Chen. You should address him as Senior."
Yang Mu looked at Yun Chen, his expression slightly serious.
He clasped his hands slightly and said, "Senior."
Yun Chen was somewhat disappointed and said, "No need to say anything more, this person is lying and doesn't know the whereabouts of my parents at all."
At his level, he could tell at a glance that the young man's hostile gaze and wavering eyes proved he had ulterior motives.
