Life Drain System

    As he enters the water, he notices it is deeper than he imagined, and so to is the flow of the river, thus he quickly starts swimming towards the shore. Once at the shore he sits down surrounded by the dark purple crystals larger than himself on all sides except where the water is. Deciding to take a break, laying down from his sitting position, and letting his wounds heal as he rests while thinking on where he messed up, as well as what he could do better on in the future.

    As he lays and thinks on where he failed, and what could have been done better, he closes his eyes. Then his thoughts slowly drifting towards the peaceful sound of the fast running water beside him. Feeling more and more at peace, he relaxes and his breathing calms thus becoming as it should be in the first place.

    Subconsciously, his body begins absorbing the energy around him while in this exultant state. Why he feels so triumphantly happy could only be ascertained if one asked him, however even he may not know. All that is known, is that as his body fills with the energy around him, new knowledge flows, and joy fills his body exceedingly.

    With the peace and joy filling his body he can feel his tiredness and any bad feelings leave his body. However feeling so at ease, he falls asleep only moments later. Although while falling into a deep sleep, his mind and soul are still memorizing all the incoming information, and his body absorbing the energy.

---- About 6 Hours Later ----

    *Yawn "What a good sleep..." Yueliang mumbles to himself as he wakes up and continues thinking to himself. 'Guess it is time to get back to the cave.' Then with such thoughts flowing in his mind he takes a step forward and notices the scenery has changed.

    Placing down his other foot, he looks around still half asleep and notices he is standing on the edge to the tunnel thinking. 'How did I get up here?' The ledge breaks and he falls again, from which he leaps off of the stone beneath his feet, pushing off and then approaching one of the sides, he jumps off of it as well before landing on the opposite tunnel he needs to be in and his body rolling as he did not even feel like trying to land properly. Although had he wanted to it would have been as easy as breathing.

    Sitting his body up, he looks across at the ledge feeling wide awake now, and starts thinking about what happened last night. 'The energy down there, that must be it, plus nothing in this place breaks unless it is supposed to. Then does that mean I need more of whatever that spatial chi is? Eh, forget it.' He slowly starts getting back up to his feet, then running forward he jumps and starts walking on the air.

    Making his way over to the other side of the underground ravine, he feels the pressure having lessened quite a bit since before. Not feeling hindered by it at the moment, Yue starts running through the path in hopes that he can make it through this time.

    A while later, having made it back to the firing field, Yue tries to once again cross. Dodging the air compressed bullets here and there, he makes it through about 25 meters through the dense bullet range without getting hit. Then trying to fold space as he did before, ... it fails and he gets riddled with holes in his arms, hands, legs, feet, chest and one shot through both cheeks on his mouth within the span of 1. 5 seconds, thus causing him to bleed out at a rapid pace, and scream out in pain a blood curdling sound. "Aaargh"

    However without delay, the strong wind blows, picking up his body and smashing him against the walls and floor along the way, as it blows him out of the tunnel. With more injuries than before he was sent flying, it is a wonder he is not yet dead, especially considering all the holes he has in his body now. 

    The wind that has picked up his body and is throwing him out, tosses him against the the left wall from when he was coming in, and his body rolls doing a backward summer sault as he hits the stone wall with a strong impact. Then thrown against the other wall, his arms crushes under his body trying to catch himself, then the roof where his right leg is shattered both on the femur and the fibula. 

    With the wind stopping for a split second, his body falls to the floor, and trying to catch himself with his left leg, the wind picks up again causing him to break his tibia and patella, as well as fracturing the femur on that leg.

  Being thrown against the walls again his skull cracks open a bit but not the skin, and fortunately no damage to the brain. Thrown all over the place, his body is being treated as if it were a ragdoll that has been thrown into a meat grinder as his skin, muscle, and viscera shreds to bits.

    His bones breaking and body tearing apart as he is being sent through the tunnel, the only thing coming from Yueliangs mouth and mind is pain. Being sent flying out of the tunnel, his body is thrown against the wall on the opposite side of the ravine, and like a rag doll, he falls down into the river below breaking and causing even more injuries. 

    Flowing down the stream, the chi around him flows into his body closing up the wounds, but even then, he is no longer able to move. Almost every bone in his body is broken in one way or another, and the only think keeping his lungs from collapsing, is the fact that some of his ribs are still barely holding themselves together.

    His eyes hazing, he can barely focus on anything as he floats except for one thought. 'This is much worse than that bird that one time. Too *Chough *Wince ... much pain, must hold on. Do not let everything you have worked so diligently for end here.'

    Closing his eye lids as it hurts to much the more he tries to do almost anything, he relaxes his entire body, and while it hurts at first, it feels much better than any time that it moves whether with or against his will.

    While his body passes through the river, he hears water falling, and knowing it will likely not turn out well, he just stays relaxed and resigns himself to whatever fate may have in store for him this time.

    However since he is not opening his eyes, he missed one minor or major detail depending on ones outlook. That detail being that he is about to fall into the underground aquifer conduit and there are jagged rocks on all the sides of the round tunnel down.

    His body flowing down stream, he swiftly makes it to the falls due to the fast running water, and then is thrown by the water into the jagged wall. Yueliang feeling that this is divine intervention, uses the muscles in his hands despite his broken bones through out his body and grabs on for dear life with his hands down by his hips. His legs however are resting as he is presently sitting on a protrusion from the wall.

    Sitting there as his blood pours out slower than before into the water, but with a clearer mind he starts wondering to himself. 'How exactly did I get myself into this mess? I mean I know how, but still. I guess it is true when they say that the best things in life never come easy.'

    Meanwhile back on the planet where the emperor resides, Rin is standing before Ai Lan and says. "My little Ai, there is something I need to tell you." He says while looking at his daughter sitting in her room surrounded by many but not even three quarters of the total of her pets while she looks as if she is depressed or in despair.

    Although even in this state, she replies. "Is it news of what happened to brother?"

    Revealing a bitter smile on his face upon hearing this, he answers. "Yes my wonderful daughter, and I am sorry to see you going through this. Anyways, Yueliang had to go back and cultivate, it seems in this case his own worst enemy is himself. Regardless, if he did not go back, he would not be able to finish what he has started, and would be punished instead."

    Hearing this, she says. "I understand, I do not like it, but I do understand. The suffering of that place is not something that I would wish on anybody, but he must do what he feels is right even if that means going to that place of torment and torture."

    Rin just smiles helplessly as he knows full well how terrible that place is, even if it did provide the necessary means to bring about the peace from the chaotic times he was raised in.
