Chapter 1084: Do We Have a Shared Destiny? (2/2)

Smack!

Ling Xiu slapped him before he even finished his question. The disciple fell silent with embarrassment and didn’t dare say anything else.

“Alright, let there be no wild speculations from any of you.” Wahuang turned around. “Lu Yun is the last disciple my father will ever take and the future prince of Inception Palace.”

“What…” The crowd drew a collective gasp of shock when they heard this. He was the future prince of Inception Palace? This was an extremely important position that aided the monarch in grasping the highest order of their law. He would answer to only the monarch of their faction!

As much as they found this difficult to accept, the disciples didn’t voice anything other than reacting with general surprise. They were just mortal realm disciples of Inception Palace, so very far removed from the Inception princess. If it wasn’t for the unexpected occurring in this trial, resulting in a projection of the princess’ replica, they wouldn’t even have the right to look upon her face.

……

“The faceless woman is absorbing the vitality of all beings that die here. If she absorbs enough life force, she could probably help the zombie break free,” Lu Yun suddenly brought up. “Therefore, we need to work together as quickly as possible to eliminate the zombie!”

“Mmhmm.” Wahuang inclined her head but didn’t say anything. Since she couldn’t see the woman, she didn’t know what to do.

She and her peers had been tentatively willing to work together when they first arrived in the tomb, but because of Lu Yun, that wasn’t a possibility anymore. Though a flaw had indeed developed in the system, the opportunity to ascend beyond the chaos was right in front of them. No one wanted their efforts to benefit another.

Wahuang was the strongest out of them, but any move she made could very well draw concerted resistance from the other five.

“I’ll go take a look,” Lu Yun offered.

“You? Go take a look?” Wahuang didn’t seem too pleased by the prospect.

Lu Yun sat down cross-legged and called upon the nascent spirit observation method; a projection of his body quickly appeared in front of him. He hadn’t planned on using any methods from the world of immortals in the chaos, but since Wahuang was here and had already proclaimed him the next prince of Inception Palace, what did he have to fear?

A variety of combat arts and cultivation methods abounded in the Inception Palace—no one would suspect that this was a method from the worlds.

“Be careful in everything you do.” Wahuang nodded when she saw Lu Yun’s projected image.

His projection appeared on the zombie’s head the next moment, in front of the faceless woman.

“What’s he doing up there, looking to die?” No one felt the inclination to do anything after the unexplained death of the earth origin disciple.

“That’s not his primary body, it’s a replica. He has some brains to think of using a replica. But how did he get up there so quickly?” The Ethos princess frowned.

A projected body was the combination of mental form, emanated strength of the nascent spirit, and speed of thought. It contained the fastest speed in the world. When Lu Yun thought of the zombie’s head, so did his projection follow where his mind traveled.

The projected body coalesced energy of heaven and earth when he was in the world of immortals. Now that he was in the chaos, it naturally collected pure chaos currents.

……

“Shh.” Lu Yun placed a finger next to his lips and shushed the faceless woman, who jerked in surprise. “How come I’m the only one who can see you? Do we have a shared destiny?” he smiled.
