Chapter 1078: Princess of Inception Palace (1/2)

The princess of Inception Palace!

A sovereign!

Such a description shook Lu Yun’s heart. He might be able to fool others, but there was no place to hide in front of a sovereign. Everything about him would be stripped bare and laid out for all to see.

But in front of a crowd of sixth level mortal realm experts, he couldn’t even self-detonate if he wanted to. Sixth level mortal realm was the equivalent of a great emperor and he was only a mere peerless immortal.

……

There was something roughly fifteen meters across that looked like an altar at the center of the formation. Dream-like radiance shimmered atop it, at the center of which sat a snow-white, human figure.

Due to the shifting iridescence, Lu Yun couldn’t clearly make out the person. However, he could perceive an extremely frightening presence from it, an incredibly profound power and marvelous strength.

A sovereign!

This was only a replica—a sovereign’s replica, but a replica nonetheless. However, its every move and gesture was primed with enough force to destroy countless sixth level mortal realm cultivators!

“Greetings to Your Highness!” Huo Jun, Ling Xiu, and the others bowed with cupped fist salutes when they reached the altar.

“I am aware of the situation, you are all dismissed.” An ethereal female voice floated down from the altar.

“Understood.” When faced with their princess, even the domineering Huo Jun kept his pride firmly in check and respectfully took his leave.

“You have quite some nerve, assuming the identity of an Inception disciple and traveling through the tomb under false pretenses,” sounded the female voice once again when everyone had left. “Do you know that I can annihilate you where you stand?”

“I’d thought you were dead… but you’re still alive!” Instead of responding to the Inception princess, Lu Yun remained dumbly where he was and frowned at the figure within the haze of light.

“You’re the princess of Inception Palace? How can you be the princess of this sacred palace, though?” There was no fear or concern on his face, just deep confusion and doubt.

The Inception princess spoke no more upon hearing his response, but Lu Yun could clearly feel her pierce through the radiance and look at him up and down.

He scratched his head. “Do I have the wrong person? But that can’t be… I…”

“Enough!” The princess’ gaze sharpened into a glare. She dismissed the light around her with an impatient swipe of her hand. “You identified me much too quickly, I’d wanted to scare you a little.”

She sounds… a bit dejected?

“Come up here and talk.”

The hint of a smile crossed Lu Yun’s face when he looked at the Inception princess on the altar.

“Lu Yun of the human race greets the holy emperor!” He quickly bowed to the figure in front of him.

“Pfft, don’t even try that with me.” The princess waved her hand and created a small ball of light beneath Lu Yun to lift him up and deposit him onto the altar. He sat down cross legged in front of the princess, causing the eyes of Huo Jun and Ling Xiu to bulge in disbelief.

“He, he was awarded a seat at the princess’ altar?!” Ling Xiu gasped with incredulity.

As a sovereign, the Inception princess couldn’t descend upon the tomb in her fullest glory. She couldn’t even really send her replica here. She could only make use of the altar to project a shadow of a replica.
