The cliff face was slick with moisture.
With a powerful iron fist, the entire passageway was struck with a thunderous blow, causing the stone under Liang Qu's feet to shatter as he, along with the debris, fell into the water below.
The overwhelming sound of water filled his ears as if the entire world was drenched in rain.
Liang Qu brushed his hair back and began to float upwards, feeling with his hand for the cold, slippery rock, but found no surface of the water.
Darkness enveloped him completely.
For an ordinary person, or even a low-level martial artist, it would have been a hopeless situation, possibly leading to drowning.
But Liang Qu relied on his breath-holding and sensing abilities underwater to confidently explore his surroundings.
This place was very low-lying; the water flow was perfectly flush with the rock walls, and even the well aligned with the surface, its depth of over twenty meters was now only three to four meters from the top.
In the event of a summer downpour, it might become a fountain, erupting upwards.
"Perhaps a fish pond could be dug here," Liang Qu contemplated.
He figured he could expand the well into a small pond, cultivating plants within it.
