Chapter 886 Don't Look Around

Deeply unsettled, Alyssa quickly drew a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself. She couldn't afford a distraction right now, not when she had found that everything had gone crazy ever since she'd met Rocky again. She was no longer the stone-cold princess from before. There was no way to maintain control in a situation like this one.

"Aren't you going to tell me your mental cultivation method first?" Rocky asked, looking at her straight into the eyes. His expression was deeply grave.

"No, just... Go ahead and follow the cultivation method you've already got. I'll assist you," Alyssa replied, somehow managing to get her wits back.

With a nod, Rocky agreed and immediately closed his eyes. Almost instantly, the Fire spiritual power in his body began circulating. He injected it straight into the Sea Blue Magic Jade cupped in his left hand. Now, he was connected to the jade and it began glowing in a brilliant blue light, lancing in all directions like the scattering sunlight through ocean waters.

Alyssa watched as the blue light began to spread and quickly turned her palms over. The vine-like spiritual mark emblazoned on her arm came to life and it began to squirm and crawl as though it were a living being. She then pressed her palms against Rocky's chest, and he could feel the sensation of an incredible spiritual power flowing into his body to race with his own.

But it wasn't long into the process when Alyssa found a problem from within Rocky.

'Is that...a spiritual soul? Oh my god! He's drawing the power of a spiritual soul hidden in his body! And there is some kind of tremendous evil power that has been sealed away down there! And it's not just that... There seems to be the power of a primordial spirit manipulator also tucked away here. How is this even possible?! How is he able to hold onto three different incredible powers at the same time? Only the power from the primordial spirit manipulator makes sense here... But the other two... the other two shouldn't be in human beings at all!' She carefully schooled her face into a look of complete indifference, as though she had found nothing whatsoever. Meditation had trained her well in maintaining composure. But the shock to her system nevertheless caused a strong wave of energy through Rocky, revealing the discomfo

o her almost comfortingly through the darkness.

"Rocky? Is that you?" The light cleared before her eyes and she realized that it really was Rocky, enveloped in fire.

"What are you doing in here, Alyssa?" Rocky's shining, blazing form asked. It looked like Alyssa wasn't the only one stunned by the revelations. Rocky had found himself undergoing the same experience that she had. His spiritual sense was towed elsewhere into this vast darkness, as though he were driven to it by an unknown force beyond his control.

"I...I don't know! I don't have the faintest clue of what's going on! I was just about to ask you the same thing, and... Oh my god, just look at you!" Alyssa stammered in shock, unable to even look at him directly now, even as her lips formed a pout.

"Hey, don't blame me for any of this. We're in the same boat here," Rocky replied, the corner of his lips curled as he watched her.

"Look, we're both in a state formed only by our own senses. You know what I mean, right? This is what people call that moment when one's spirit has come untethered from its body," Rocky explained simply.

"Yes, I know very well what that is," Alyssa replied with a twist in her gut. He was lying, and she knew it.

Still, the atmosphere was unbelievably strange and the air between them was an awkward one. As though to alleviate this embarrassment, a column of brilliant blue light came blasting down from above, covering them both in illumination. Both Rocky and Alyssa gasped as they gazed up at its incredible radiance.
