Chapter 156 The Well Under Chang’an City.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“A secret in Chang’an City?”

Su Qin thought.

“En.”

Emperor Li Sheng said, slightly nodding: “But I think it should be fake. Although Chang’an City is big, if there really were any secrets, how can it not be discovered even after 500 years?”

For more than 500 years, the outer city of Chang’an City had been rebuilt many times. If there were any secrets, it would have been exposed already.

As for the inner city, although it has remained the same, it is used as the residence of the Imperial Family and must be guarded by a large army at all times. In this case, no secret can escape their eyes.

“So that’s how it is.”

Su Qin’s expression did not change.

After a while, Emperor Li Sheng returned to the Long Life Temple.

After Emperor Li Sheng left, Su Qin slowly got up and disappeared.

At the same time, thousands of zhang high above the sky, Su Qin stood in the air, looking down at the entire Chang’an City.

Even if an Arhat or Legend was only at the 1st Heavenly Layer, they would be able to control the air and ride the wind – fly. Not to mention that Su Qin is at 5th Heavenly Layer Great Perfection.

“The secret of Chang’an City?”

“Let’s see what exactly this is!”

Su Qin’s thoughts moved and his Divine Sense spread rapidly, enveloping the entire Chang’an City.

At this moment, all of the movements of the people in Chang’an City were captured by Su Qin.

Although Su Qin has lived in the Imperial Palace for so many years and will scan Chang’an City with his Divine Sense every once in a while, it was his first time doing it on this scale.

[Weng~]!

His terrifying and vast Divine Sense spread quickly to every corner of Chang’an City, like flowing water.

“Huh?”

“Nothing?”

Su Qin frowned.

His Divine Sense condensed again and this time, began to slowly move towards underground.

One hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

Five hundred meters.

One kilometer.

…

Finally, at 2,500 meters underground in Chang’an City, Su Qin’s Divine Sense suddenly felt a strange aura.

“This is?”

“Demonic Energy?”

Su Qin’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Su Qin was not a stranger to Demonic Energy, as he had encountered them the Demon Subduing Tower in the Shaolin Temple, and from the Demon Lord.

Su Qin didn’t expect that he would find Demonic Energy underneath Chang’an City.

Moreover, compared to the Demon Subduing Tower and the Demon Lord, the Demonic Energy underneath was much more refined. To be precise, although the two were the same Demonic Energy, the differences were like between Heaven and Earth.

It was just like an Arhat’s True Essence and a Grade 9’s Internal Strength.

“Interesting.”

Su Qin continued to explore with this Divine Sense.

Finally, at a place three kilometers underground, Su Qin suddenly discovered a majestic palace.

This majestic palace occupies the range of several li, in the center was a black well.

The strands of Demonic Energy were from this black well.

Su Qin’s body disappeared and his body reappeared in front of the majestic palace, three kilometers underground.

“At such depth, it would be difficult even for a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster to enter…” Su Qin glanced at the palace while thinking silently in his heart.

“That black well…”

Su Qin thought for a moment, and moved towards the center of the palace.

He has already used his Divine Sense to scan the palace inside and out. Except for the black well in the center, everything else was normal.

Soon, Su Qin came to a stone tablet that’s about ten meters high.

There were many characters engraved on the stone tablet. It was written in thousand years old ancient characters, which were obscure and difficult to understand. Though that’s only for other people, as Su Qin had read the entire Scripture Pavilion when he was in the Shaolin Temple. His readings, of course, included the evolution of text.

“The well appeared, it was connected to the world of the underground magic cave that’s filled with countless Demon Races, which then surfaced into the world…”

“The world was in chaos. Fortunately, the well can only accommodate Demon Races under the Legend Realm. After the bloody struggle of countless ancestors, the Long (Dragon) Dynasty finally sealed the well, blocking the underground cave world and the passage between it and the world…”

Su Qin soon understood what had transpired.

According to the stone tablet, it was probably thousands of years ago, or tens of thousands of years ago, a large number of Demon Races suddenly appeared bringing disaster to the world.

And these Demon Races all came from this well.

The other side of the well was the underground cave world, which was the original world of the Demon Race.

“It seems that this cave world is very high level, at least much higher than this continent…”

Su Qin touched his chin with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

According to the records on the stone tablet, thousands to tens of thousands of years ago, it was the era where Martial Arts were extremely prosperous. There were more than ten Legends.

But they were suddenly crippled by the Demon Races gushing from the well.

Even though the well can only accommodate Demon Races below the Legend Realm, the Human Race was still losing. It was conceivable how cruel the cave world below the well was.

“No wonder Chang’an City is the ancient capital of the ten Dynasties. It turns out that Chang’an City has to be the center of the Dynasty because of this well…”

Su Qin thought.

At this moment, he already figured out why the Founding Father wanted to establish an Empire. He was worried that the Long Dynasty’s seal would weaken and the Demon Race would reemerge.

“Let’s keep reading.”

Su Qin slowly moved towards the stone tablet.

The record on the stone tablet, in addition to introducing the horror of the well, also talked about the cave world connected to the well.

Since the Demon Race can follow the well from the cave world, the people above can naturally pass through the well and enter the cave world.

During the period of resisting the Demon Race, many Legends had sneaked into the cave world, discovering that the world connected to the well was far more advanced in terms of range and high-level battle strength. Far beyond this continent.

And in the cave world, a civilization similar to the Human Race had also developed. A vast area was filled with powerful nations.

All the Legends who had entered the magic cave, had concluded that the existence in the cave world was at least 100,000 years ahead of them, or even more.

After discovering this, the Legends who had sneaked into the cave world were so scared that they returned quickly, and then sealed the well with the Long Dynasty’s help, completely severing the connection with the cave world.

Su Qin could guess what happened next. The Demon Race invasion maimed the Martial Artists of this continent. Even Legends had fallen, while the remaining Legends escaped.

“How long was this?”

“At least 100,000 years ago?”

Su Qin’s eyes lit up when he saw this.
