Chapter 56 Searching for Clues
The next day, just as dawn broke.
Yun Chen and Qin Xi got up early.
The heavy rain has stopped, and the sun is shining brightly today.
Qin Xi picked up her daughter and said, "Baby, Mommy and Daddy have important business to attend to and will be back tonight. We can't stay with you today, so be a good girl and listen to Grandpa and Grandma!"
Yun Chen took the child and kissed her on her round, adorable little face: "Mommy and Daddy will bring you something delicious when we come back!"
Little Yao Yao's big eyes sparkled, her face full of innocence, and she said in her childish voice, "Yes, Mom and Dad, please be careful when you go out!"
Afterwards, Yun Chen briefly explained the situation to Qin Hong and Su Lan, without telling them the truth, fearing they wouldn't be able to handle the shock. After comforting Xiao Yao Yao, the two of them went out.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Xi, please be careful."
The couple didn't ask any more questions, just gave a few instructions, knowing that Yun Chen was looking for his parents.
Considering what happened last night, Yun Chen became cautious. He used a magic seal to place a restriction on Qin Hong and his wife, as well as Xiao Yaoyao, to prevent external forces from harming them!
Then, Yun Chen picked up Qin Xi and flew directly into the sky.
At this moment, Qin Xi nestled in Yun Chen's arms, feeling no adrenaline rush, no tension or excitement, only a sense of peace and tranquility.
Looking down at the heavens and earth, her eyes were exceptionally firm. She too wanted to cultivate immortality and become a terrestrial immortal who could fly and escape into the earth!
A soft light enveloped the two of them.
Below, the flat landscape was rapidly receding.
The sky was cloudless, just like the view from the window of an airplane. The visibility was excellent, and the view was very open, with the plains and mountains below all in sight.
In the distance, there are long contrails in the sky, left by airplanes or spacecraft!
Qin Xi was held in Yun Chen's arms, her face full of amazement.
At this moment, she truly experienced firsthand how vast the world is and how insignificant humans are; they are like dust, soaring through the sky.
The Xianyou Mountains consist of hundreds of thousands of peaks, densely packed together, stretching across the land like wrinkles. The highest peak, Xianyou Peak, is over 2,800 meters high, making it the highest peak in the Jiangnan region!
They quickly headed towards the direction of the Xianyou Mountains.
The Xianyou Mountains are located in the southern part of the Jiangnan region, spanning four provinces. They stretch over 100 kilometers from east to west and over 200 kilometers from north to south, with an average elevation of over 1,000 meters. They appear quite abrupt on satellite maps because the surrounding areas are all plains.
Yun Chen said, "We'll be there soon, and we'll be back quickly."
Holding Qin Xi, Yun Chen didn't go that fast, allowing her to personally experience the feeling of traveling between heaven and earth, and to see scenery that most people would never see in their entire lives.
Finally, the two landed in the Xianyou Mountains.
As soon as he landed, Yun Chen felt an extraordinary aura of the Great Dao wash over him, and exclaimed in slight surprise, "Dragon Qi?"
Immediately, he understood. He recognized that these extraordinary auras were the dragon energy of the mountain range, which many ancient mountains possess. It was a very special kind of spiritual energy, indicating that dragons might have once roamed the world and stayed in this mountain.
Then, Yun Chen saw an abandoned county town.
Between two massive mountain ranges, on the flat plains and hills, lies a scene of ruins. The outline of what was once a city is clearly visible. As far as the eye can see, there are only crumbling walls and rubble. This is the county town that was swallowed up by the magnitude 8 earthquake.
Hundreds of thousands of people died, and the secular world mourned the entire nation.
This happened more than two years ago.
The massive earthquake did happen, but what is unknown to most people is that there was also a major battle that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
Yun Chen knew that things were not that simple. What level of expert would be needed to cause such a massive earthquake? Ordinary Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators did not have this ability!
He vaguely sensed an extraordinary aura.
Could it be that there are Nascent Soul cultivators?
Qin Xi held his hand and asked timidly, "Honey, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Yun Chen touched her face, smiled, then held her hand and said, "You don't need to do anything, just hold my hand and don't let go!"
A wisp of celestial energy emanated from his fingertips, flowing along Qin Xi's arm and into her body. This made her body impervious to all magical influences, unaffected by the various anomalies of the mountains, such as mosquito bites, miasma poisoning, and hypothermia.
Qin Xi looked around, feeling uneasy.
The surrounding area is dense forest, overgrown with weeds and trees, the soil underfoot is damp, the air is exceptionally fresh, and there are various insect chirps and bird calls, making it extremely quiet. This inevitably evokes a sense of loneliness and helplessness in one's heart.
This is a truly pristine mountain forest.
It's a desolate place; if you enter without any preparation, your life is basically over.
With her husband, who is like a celestial being on land, by her side, Qin Xi felt a great sense of security and her mood relaxed considerably.
The two then ventured into the deep mountains to investigate the truth behind what happened back then.
According to the records, Yun Chen's parents were last seen in an ancient village, but it was destroyed in the earthquake and is now nowhere to be found!
But this was no challenge for Yun Chen.
He led Qin Xi through the primeval forests.
They found village ruins one after another.
"Not here!"
"Not here either!!"
After a long and winding journey, Qin Xi held Yun Chen's hand tightly, her breathing a little rapid, because she felt nervous and scared. After all, her mindset was still that of a modern person, and she couldn't change it in a short time.
She had never experienced being in such a remote mountain forest before.
They searched more than a dozen village ruins, but none of them were it.
The two found a place to rest.
The two sat down by a stream.
Yun Chen took some spiritual fruit from the storage room and gave it to Qin Xi to eat. Immediately, a very rich spiritual energy was released!
After eating the spiritual fruit, Qin Xi was immediately filled with energy and all her fatigue vanished in an instant.
Furthermore, she felt her body getting warm, as if an energy was flowing through her limbs and bones, a truly magical sensation.
Qin Xi sat down next to Yun Chen and leaned on his shoulder.
She closed her eyes and took a short nap. When she woke up, she looked at Yun Chen earnestly and said, "Husband, I also want to cultivate immortality and become a powerful being. I don't want to be a burden to you!"
Yun Chen affectionately stroked her face: "Yes, when we get home, I'll teach you the basics of cultivation!"
In the afternoon, the two arrived at a mountain valley.
Here, weeds grow thick and tall, and trees reach for the sky. This is the village that disappeared years ago. It has been completely integrated into nature. Who could tell that just two years ago, this was a village?
Yun Chen immediately narrowed his eyes, sensing a very special aura that could only be found on cultivators.
"A magic circle!"
"This matter is related to the ancient cultivation world!!"
He used his ability to trace back time, his eyes shimmering with light, trying to see what happened two years ago through the atmosphere here.
However, as time goes by, the aura dissipates, and even if it is powerful, it is difficult to reproduce it completely in one go!
However, Yun Chen's Immortal Emperor abilities are extremely powerful.
He frantically formed hand seals, and strange luminous symbols spilled from his palms and fingers. Finally, he successfully communicated with the spirits of heaven and earth in this place. Through communication with the spiritual flowers, trees, and rocks, he revealed all the scenes he had recorded.
Qin Xi was dumbfounded and felt dizzy.
Yun Chen's eyes were shining as he unleashed a powerful divine ability that seemed to forcefully reverse the flow of time and space, finally seeing the scene that had occurred here back then. He was certain that it was related to the ancient cultivators on Blue Star.
