Naelia conversed with several Yang-Dao Sect guards out front, then led John and Zuri into the sphere. As he stepped through the barrier, John felt the familiar tinge of the spatial Dao, as if space was bending and twisting. The formation was not a transportation formation, but merely seemed to alter the laws of space.
John found himself in a large hallway of obsidian, which stretched forward for several hundred yards. Small glowing formations hung in the air above, appearing like nine-petalled lotuses giving light to the hallway. He continued to follow Naelia and moved with many other entrants through the hallway.
Bright light shone from the other side, which he arrived at a short while later. He stepped out of the hallway and onto a large obsidian colored platform, one that stretched to both sides, clinging to the walls of the sphere, like walkways that wrapped around the entire interior.
