Chapter 110: The Hidden Domain

Sage could release his Human Seal and swim along with the current to slowly work his way back out of the whirlpool. Of course, with the Peak Master right there and him having already agreed to go, it was far too late to fight. Instead, Sage just kept his head above the water and let the spinning carry him towards the center. As he got closer he chose to avoid dizziness and purposely dove into the center of the whirlpool, getting dragged straight down like he just entered a big tube. With his eyes still open he watched as the rock had a tunnel carved into it, plunging straight down for hundreds of yards before Sage saw what looked like a rip in space.

It looked like a swirling vortex of energy with warped colors at the edges. If it was a still image the tear in space would be absolutely unnoticeable. The reason it was noticeable was things seemed to bend and warp as they approached the edges of the tear yet when they were swept further away the small rocks, debris and water seemed completely unaffected. If it wasnt warped space then those rocks would have been torn in half or completely destroyed when they were partially shrunk and twisted around.

Objects that approached the center of vortex twisted and warped then fell into what seemed to be open air and clouds as they returned to normal. At the edges of the vortex the rock was slashed into bits, anything that touched it was cut perfectly. Sage even saw a fish cleanly sliced in half like a cross-section in an anatomy book. A perfect vertical slice of the fishs internals that was ruined by the sudden splash of red blood. The fishs body tried to keep on living, but it only served to pump away the remaining half of its blood.

Sage carefully pushed off the rock walls and aimed himself towards the center of the vortex. He had no other options now, the water flowing into the hole in space was far too powerful to resist now and all he could do was guide himself away from that dangerous space tear.

As he entered the vortex Sage tried not to think of how his insides were being warped and twisted.Thankfully, the strange feeling lasted only a split second before he was falling through the open air. In just an instant he found himself at the top of what was essentially a waterfall originating in a cloud. The flow of water formed by the space tear and emptying out a large portion of the underground lake. Sage felt himself falling through the sky, riding the flow of water towards the ground. Looking downwards he saw an alien landscape. Huge crystals towered into the air like skyscrapers, reigning over a veritable forest of crystal. The huge crystals jutted straight into the sky like mountains, yet beneath and between the mountainous crystals were crystals that seemed to mimic the shape of trees and bushes just like it was a real forest on the ground below.

Sage wanted to get more time to admire the view of this glimmering landscape, but he was rapidly approaching the ground. The water spread outwards as it fell from the sky, the wind resistance from falling turning it into a heavy spray instead of a dense stream. Not wanting to have to fight the force of the falling water as well as the powerful descent, Sage opened his mouth and released a huge gust of wind. The Divine Breath technique let him keep a huge amount of air compressed within his lungs at all times, using Qi to store it like an air tank while still breathing normally. Letting out some of the air, Sage was blasted backwards and he fell out of the falling flow of water. Aiming his head upwards he started breathing air in again. The force of suction was so great that a small vacuum formed above him, helping to slow his fall. When Divine Breath was completely full, he turned downwards and waited patiently.

Sage nodded his head, Well done! The Peak Masters Agent is definitely as impressive as the title. Weve never met before, allow me. Lang Sheng, greets Senior Martial Brother. It is a pleasure to be working with you here.

The hooded figure snorted at him. Silence followed.

Ahem you must value your privacy, but can I at least know Senior Martial Brothers name? I must have something to call you, right?

The hooded figure merely scoffed this time, but after a moment Sage heard the gruff voice again, Fine. Just call me, Rocky.

The person actually said Shi, but Sage translated it in his mind from Stone, a boring name, into Rocky. It was much more entertaining that way. Just as Sage started to picture a certain Boxer climbing stairs and punching meat, Shi Rocky, started walking away.

Hurry up, lets get moving.
