Chapter 822: Deep Shore
It turns out the city got its name because it was actually somewhat close to the shoreline of a major land mass. Sage had no idea where it was in relation to the Tianxia Empire, but upon seeing so many different people here, he realized it could be anywhere. In fact, Im not even sure Im on the same planet anymore. I might be on another one or even in a Hidden Domain.
There was something of an undersea cliff near this landmass and it dropped down thousands of feet deep to where Deep Shore was located. There was also a city upon the landmass, and after asking about it specifically, Abyss Bay was on a gigantic island and its inhabitants also knew little about the location of any continents. It was a popular place for raising families and was filled with mortals. Those who wanted to visit it had to sign Blood Contracts to restrain them from causing harm accidentally.
Sage wasnt sure if he wished to visit, but he was eager to head out into the sea. After properly gathering information and getting aquatic products in production on the Inner World, he finally moved to the City Gates and prepared to venture outside. He entered the array version of an airlock which was a sort of barrier array in the shape of a bubble. Once he was inside the bubble shrunk rapidly around him. Then he passed through it like a layer of soap and he found himself in the open water. Once he moved away the bubble bulged out of the side of the city again and another Cultivator entered it.
Now that he was outside of Deep Shore, Sage got a better look at the Formation Array that was surrounding it. The barrier was nearly transparent, something that he might label as glowing glass. It was only from certain angles that he could see thin veins of golden glowing energy rushing through it. It was in the shape of a hemispherical dome, like a giant bowl over the top of the city. Yet, at the same time, it seemed somewhat thicker near the top and Sage couldnt help but wonder if there was some sort of lens type light magnification going on. Especially since now that he was outside of the city it seemed much darker than before.
For his first outing, Sage didnt worry about hunting anything. Instead he just took the chance to familiarize himself with swimming around in the deep sea. It was somewhat disconcerting to stay under the water for so long without any thoughts about heading to the surface for air. Thankfully, hed already grown accustomed to such a thing while training in the Sunfire Pagoda back at the Holy Flame Sect. Where it differed was in the variety of life around him. The Sunfire Pagoda was just a training ground while this ocean was teeming with life, though it did take him a little while to notice it all.
At first, he just saw a few groups of fish swimming in the distance. The area outside Deep Shore was a wide clean bed of sand. In the distance there was a rocky wall that led steeply upwards like an undersea cliff. There were supposed to be countless lifeforms hiding among the rocks. Outside of that rocky wall, there were strong currents caused by the tides up above. This constant motion swept the sand clean on the ocean floor. It made this part of the ocean look somewhat devoid of life, like a pristine beach under the sea.
Sage's opinion was changed as soon as he got a little close to the sea bed. A large pincer shot out of the sand towards him, but Sage was already long gone from his original position. A jade colored aura sprung to life around him and a long blade shot out of his wrist. He swung his arm and a cloud of sand rose up around him. Sage stopped in place, watching a huge crab the size of a single bedroom home swimming away from him. As the dust settled, a huge pincer was laying on the sand. Sage cut it off at the wrist, but there was a larger part of the crabs arm on the sand beside it. The crustacean had voluntarily detached the rest of its arm and fled in a hurry. The huge crab had a set of smaller legs at its rear that had paddle-like flippers on them which it was using to swim away at a rapid pace.
Even as easily as he had evaded the crab, Sage still chose to activate his Foresight and soon found out that the crab was not the only thing under the sand.
