Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 886 Don't Look Around

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

"Aren't you going to tell me your mental cultivation method first?" Rocky asked, looking at herstraight 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," Alyssareplied, somehow managing to get her wits back.

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

Alyssa watched as the blue light began to spread and quickly turned her palms over. The vine-likespiritual mark emblazoned on her arm came to life and it began to squirm and crawl as though itwere a living being. She then pressed her palms against Rocky's chest, and he could feel thesensation 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'snot just that... There seems to be the power of a primordial spirit manipulator also tucked awayhere. How is this even possible?! How is he able to hold onto three different incredible powers atthe same time? Only the power from the primordial spirit manipulator makes sense here... But theother two... the other two shouldn't be in human beings at all!" She carefully schooled her face intoa look of complete indifference, as though she had found nothing whatsoever. Meditation hadtrained her well in maintaining composure. But the shock to her system nevertheless caused astrong wave of energy through Rocky, revealing the discomfort and agitation in her mind.

Had it been anyone else doing this other than Alyssa, they might never have recognized those threepowers so quickly. They might have, like Sabina, only sensed the existence of something mysterioussmoldering from within. And like Sabina, they would've never been able to discern what it truly wasWithin the spiritual soul container that held the evil power that had broken from the seal, a specialexistence had nested. This spiritual soul was power in and of itself, and it had developed for thesheer purpose of caging the evil power that lived within Rocky's body. Rocky was unable to drawfrom the power of this soul itself. Unless someone was from the spiritual race themselves, no otherspirit manipulators could have sensed it. Not even if they were powerful enough to reach the DivineStage or well beyond that.

But Alyssa was different. She had grown up within the spiritual race itself. And more than that, sheherself held a small fragment of power that came from a spiritual soul. It nested within her the wayRocky's rested within him. It was one of the biggest reasons that she had been so unusuallypowerful at her age. And it was also what drew her to replace the spiritual soul nesting inside Rocky,even if it had been deliberately concealed from prying eyes.

Alyssa had no idea where Rocky could've gotten this spiritual soul power. When her own spiritualpower circulated and weaved through his, she determined that this power's ultimate purpose was tohold back that evil power within him. She therefore speculated that someone in the spiritual racehad committed to an ultimate sacrifice: they had consumed their own spiritual soul in order to saveRocky from the evil power within him. The spiritual soul itself was the source of power for thespiritual race. It could only grow in strength as the days went by and if the person who held thatsoul diligently worked on strengthening it. Should that person's spiritual soul become damaged,their manner of cultivation would weaken along with it. But as someone of the spiritual race waswilling to use their own soul to protect Rocky, whoever it was must have found Rocky veryimportant to them.

But in spite of all that effort, the tremendous evil power that had been sealed within Rocky still gaveAlyssa pause and a cause for concern. Judging by the aura emanating from the seal itself, she wascertain that such a seal could've only been crafted through the use of a secret skill known only tothe spiritual race. That smoldering evil power within Rocky gave off the sense that it was merelybiding its time. As though it was waiting for the opportune moment to cause the most damagepossible, in spite of the fact that all it could do now was lurk behind the seal. Alyssa couldn't evenimagine how powerful that evil power could possibly be. It was too powerful to have ever beengenerated by mere humans.

So lost was Alyssa in what she'd found that she suddenly realized that her spiritual sense was beingguided by an unknown force. It was almost simultaneous with the sensation of the spiritual soul'spower inside her flowing through towards Rocky.

To her amazement, her spiritual sense then followed soon after, entering Rocky's body. All she couldsee now was complete pitch blackness. There was a weightless sensation of falling into an eternalpit, causing terror to rise in her throat.

"What's going on?" Alyssa gasped. Her spiritual sense was getting towed beyond her control,getting pulled into Rocky's body as though it had a mind of its own. It felt like hurtling down from agreat height, with a complete loss of control.

Before she could truly begin to panic, a blaze of light shone up in front of her. A brilliant figure,shining so intensely that he might have been burning, appeared like a guiding star, reaching out toher 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 Alyssawasn't the only one stunned by the revelations. Rocky had found himself undergoing the sameexperience that she had. His spiritual sense was towed elsewhere into this vast darkness, as thoughhe were driven to it by an unknown force beyond his control.

"I... don't know! I don't have the faintest clue of what's going on! I was just about to ask you thesame thing, and... Oh my god, just look at you!" Alyssa stammered in shock, unable to even look athim 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 hislips 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 iswhat people call that moment when one's spirit has come untethered from its body,” Rockyexplained simply.

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

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