Yun Lintian, Ding Yang, and Zhang Yuhuang all perceived enormous lightning energy overflowing from the six pillars. It was too intense and overwhelming to the point the three of them had to conjure profound defense around their bodies.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yuhuang moved closer to Ding Yang and asked.
Ding Yang rolled his eyes annoyingly. "You asked me then who am I going to ask?" He then subconsciously glanced at Yun Lintian and found Yun Lintian's expression was calm, as though he had expected this to happen. This made him wonder further about who on earth was this man?
Although Yun Lintian was calmed on the surface, he was actually confused in his heart. The source of confusion was coming from the apparent connection between him and the golden orb on the altar. Of course, he believed it was the lightning element source, but he felt there was something more than that.
"Do you know anything about this?" Yun Lintian asked Mumu, who was standing on his shoulder.
Mumu did not reply to Yun Lintian but continued to stare at the altar. In fact, it had been staring like this since they entered this place.
Seeing Mumu didn't reply, Yun Lintian pondered briefly and decided to check it out by himself. Anyway, he was confident in his plot armor.
When Zhang Yuhuang saw Yun Lintian walked toward the altar, she hurriedly said. "Young…"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Ding Yang interrupted her first. "Don't say anything."
Zhang Yuhuang looked at Ding Yang questioningly.
"Don't you see he is not afraid of lightning?" Ding Yang said.
Zhang Yuhuang turned to Yun Lintian and saw he was indeed unharmed. The overwhelming lightning seemed to avoid him, paving the way for him.
"Who is he exactly?" Zhang Yuhuang was lost for a word after witnessing such a bizarre scene.
As Yun Lintian approached the altar, he could feel the connection between him and the golden orb become stronger. This confirmed his guess. The golden orb was no other than the lightning element source.
Yun Lintian quickened his steps and arrived before the altar. The lightning chains were continued to connect with the golden orb, and Yun Lintian could see it clearly, the orb had greedily absorbed the lightning like a black hole.
While Yun Lintian hesitating whether he should touch it directly or waiting until it finished absorbing, Mumu suddenly jumped up from his shoulder and landed on the altar, standing beside the golden orb. Its gaze never left the orb once, and there was a trace of melancholy in the depth of its eyes.
Yun Lintian was taken aback by Mumu's action and prepared to pull it back, but seeing it was safe, his hand stopped midair, and he decided to leave it there. For some reason, Yun Lintian always felt Mumu was familiar with this place, but he clearly remembered Lin Xinyao said this was her first time coming here. How could Mumu be familiar with this place then?
Mumu stared at the golden orb for a moment and suddenly reached its paw to touch the orb. Before Yun Lintian could react, he was blinded by a brilliant golden light coming out of the orb.
Instantaneously, the entire area had turned into the golden world. Yun Lintian couldn't see anything except for the bright golden light. A moment later, a white figure appeared in his vision. This figure was a female clad in a long white robe. Her facial features could be regarded as perfect. Just her appearance and temperament alone could easily crush Lin Xinyao as the latter was still too young, but the woman in front of Yun Lintian was brimming with matured women's charms.
"You are here." The woman in a white robe said. Her voice was soft and gentle.
Yun Lintian was a bit dizzy and hadn't yet recovered from the blinding golden light earlier. He subconsciously uttered. "Who?"
The woman did not reply right away. She stared at Yun Lintian for a long time before saying. "My name is Bai Xiaoyun. There is a connection between you and me, but I can't tell you right now."
Yun Lintian shook his head to get rid of the dizziness and regained some clarities. He looked at the peerless beauty in front of him and asked. "Are you the one who was calling me back then?" It was at this moment Yun Lintian noticed the voice of the mysterious person back then was similar to this woman.
Bai Xiaoyun smiled faintly and said. "Indeed, it was me."
Yun Lintian nodded and looked around to find Mumu. However, he discovered except for him and Bai Xiaoyun, there was no one around here.
"Where did they go?" Yun Lintian asked. "Is this place my conscious world?"
Bai Xiaoyun replied softly. "Yes. This is your conscious world… Don't worry. They are safe."
Yun Lintian didn't care about Ding Yang and Zhang Yuhuang, but Mumu was different. It was, after all, Lin Xinyao's companion. If something happened to it, Lin Xinyao would definitely kill him.
"Are you the same as Senior Yan? Staying here to guard the lightning element source?" Yun Lintian looked at Bai Xiaoyun and asked curiously. He guessed she was the same as Yan Qi, volunteering to guard this place.
Bai Xiaoyun replied with a smile. "You mean that little boy? No, we are not the same."
Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. He remembered Yan Qi was at least three thousand years old, yet he was called a little boy by Bai Xiaoyun. How old was she?
"Can you elaborate more?" Yun Lintian asked.
Bai Xiaoyun looked at Yun Lintian for a moment. Suddenly, her figure distorted and slowly transformed into a giant creature. More precisely, she had turned into a huge white tiger!
The tiger stood approximately twenty meters. Its fur was silky white, looking ethereal and brimming with a majestic aura. In front of the giant White Tiger, Yun Lintian suddenly felt as if he were as minuscule as a single grain of sand in front of this mountain.
Being stared at by a pair of incomparably gigantic golden eyes that seemed to see through anything in this world, Yun Lintian was shocked to the core and subconsciously exclaimed. "White Tiger? The legendary White Tiger?"
