Chapter 782: Violent Sun Sect
The staircase was akin to a stone tube, plunging deep into the ground. Only after hed traveled a few dozen feet downward was there finally a change. The staircase continued deeper, but there was a door frame that led outwards. There was some wreckage blocking the door, but it only took him a few moments using Foresight to determine where to cut in order to clear it all. He tossed it all into the Inner World and stepped through the doorway to explore.
As he expected, there wasnt much of note, considering the passage of time and the wrecked state of the place. Those who destroyed the place would have looted it before leaving so it was no surprise. He collected anything that wasnt nailed down and it was this thoroughness that led him to a discovery. An air vent. He found a sort of grate with air flowing from behind it. It wasnt really a big deal until he returned to the stairway and found the path forward blocked. No matter what method he envisioned, it led to a full collapse of the staircase in his Foresight. The rubble was placed ingeniously in that it was holding the place up and also blocking the way forward.
To get through hed need to carefully reinforce it while digging, which wasnt outside of his capabilities, but he chose to try the path of least resistance first. The air vent hed found was pretty large, but not very comfortable for him to squeeze through. That is of course, if he wasnt from the Lang Clan. He spent a few moments linking to a fresh Steel Silk Centipede and then entered the insects inner space. Using acid and its sharp forelimbs, the centipede carved a hole into the grate and skittered into the foot wide tunnel. He attached a silken line at various points along the tunnel and used it to rappel downwards, finding that the vent led down deeper.
Soon he ran into a few side tunnels that also led to grates. Ones which he sliced through and hopped out of the centipede to investigate. The second floor was similar to the first one, but by the time he reached the third he was surprised to find signs of life. A type of phosphorescent mushroom and moss were growing on the walls and floors. It wasnt one that Sage specifically recognized, so he sent some to the Inner World for testing while he continued to explore. Along the way he encountered a few small insects and lizards, taking a few of them as well. The ruins of the sect were just as battered as the first two floors, so he went into another vent to keep descending. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
The seventh floor was far more terrifying than the sixth and the pressure was suddenly exponentially higher. The insect hed got from the sixth floor was struggling and he had to send it away. It became somewhat difficult for him to breathe in here, so he simply stopped for a while. There were more than a few techniques that helped cultivators overcome the limits of the body and more than a few hermits that lived at the peak of absurdly tall mountains for years. They went without breathing, eating or drinking, converting Qi into all the energy their body would require for years and even decades.
Without breathing to get in the way, the seventh floor was far more comfortable and also in remarkably good condition in comparison to the first six. There was a lot less damage, such that it looked more like a persons apartment that had been ransacked looking for valuables rather than the apocalyptic ruin hed seen above. The fungus and creatures were also quite large, but they were far more uncommon. Only a few of them inhabited this place, and he subdued all of them, sending the dozen into the Inner World for study.
Since this floor was in so much better shape he did a more detailed search and found the answer to a question he had. How were the bigger bugs descending the floors when the staircase was blocked? They couldnt fit in the vents, but it turns out there were other staircases spread out around the floor, but they only serviced the bottom four floors. An answer that led him to what appeared to be the final floor of the place.
This last floor had a sort of stone airlock. When he descended the stairs he stepped onto an array that flared to life. When it did, a stone wall slid into place behind him. Then he felt the pressure increasing rapidly to a point where he felt his flesh being compressed and his eyes watering. Then, the wall in front of him slid away and he stepped out onto the eighth floor.
