"Linlin, if I take it away, this place will disappear, and all the profound beasts that are residing here will break out. I can't deal with them." Yun Lintian explained.
Linlin tilted her head cutely and said. "Don't worry, Big Brother Yun. Nothing will happen."
Yun Lintian was curious. "How do you know?"
Linlin shook her head. "I don't know, but I feel nothing will happen."
Yun Lintian's brows raised in surprise… Maybe I should trust her? She is Bai Xiaoyun's daughter, after all. She might know something. He thought.
Yun Lintian struggled to make a decision for a long time before finally decided. At worst, he would contact Han Bingling to prepare for the possibly profound beast tide as soon as possible.
"Linlin, can you stay on the ground for a while? Big brother will take The Thunder away." Yun Lintian said softly.
Linlin blinked her eyes and jumped down from Yun Lintian's arms. It was because she slept for a long time; she had forgotten how to walk as she stood unstable on the ground.
"Are you alright?" Yun Lintian hurriedly squatted down and helped Linlin.
Linlin replied cheerfully. "I'm fine, Big Brother Yun. You should hurry to take The Thunder away."
Yun Lintian made sure Linlin was fine before standing up, taking a deep breath, and reached out his hand to touch the golden orb.
"Argh!" Instantly, Yun Lintian was electrocuted as an enormous tide of lightning energy streamed into his body.
A wave of pain emanated from a force flushing into every corner of his body. All of his muscles bulging as though they were about to burst at any time. His entire being started to shake tremendously, as his vision also became blurry until it ultimately became a shade of golden.
Lightning sparks flashed everywhere around Yun Lintian. His current appearance was similar to the Electro from a particular comic. Although he was in pain, Yun Lintian could feel his Beyond Heaven Profound Vein had greedily absorbed all the flushing energy and started to expand its size.
The indescribable pain continued for ten minutes without a sign of stopping. At this moment, two figures were floating above Yun Lintian. One of them was no other than Bai Xiaoyun, and another one was a young girl in her sixteen, dressing in a white snow robe.
The young girl had an immature face, slightly round and filled with baby fat. On her cream-colored face was a cute, exquisite nose that pointed upward and watery tender lips that were gently closed. Between her brows was a round purple sigil that resembled the moon. If Yun Lintian saw this, he would immediately recognize it as it was precisely the same as the Lunar Jade that Mumu intended to give him back then.
Her pair of purple-colored star-like eyes were currently fixated on Yun Lintian below with concern. She said. "Is he okay?"
Bai Xiaoyun glanced at her with a smile. "Why? Don't tell me you are falling in love with him? I didn't expect you little girl to be ."
The young girl glared at Bai Xiaoyun and pouting. "Hmph! I'm ignoring you, Aunty Bai."
Bai Xiaoyun chuckled slightly. Afterward, her expression turned back to the original calm as she said. "He is no ordinary. His fortitude is several times higher than average humans. You don't need to worry about him." She turned to the young girl and said. "Why don't you tell me more about your current master, Mumu?"
The young girl was no other than Mumu in her human form. She replied softly. "My current master's name is Lin Xinyao. She possesses the Divine Moon Profound Vein. Her aptitude is not bad. It's competent enough to be ranked among the top talents in Divine Realm. Unfortunately, she didn't have a proper profound art, and her power is currently sealed."
"Divine Moon Profound Vein? Did she come from that place?" Bai Xiaoyun asked interestingly.
Mumu nodded her head gently without saying a word.
Bai Xiaoyun turned to look at Yun Lintian and laughed elegantly. "Fate is truly marvelous!"
"Indeed." Mumu was agreed with Bai Xiaoyun's statement.
"By the way, Aunty Bai. Are you really going to do it? With him here, you will have a chance to reform your body. Although it might take thousands of years, it is worth waiting, don't you think?" Mumu asked with a serious expression.
Bai Xiaoyun was silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh. "This is my fate. I can't go against it."
Mumu took a deep look at Bai Xiaoyun and sighed sadly.
Bai Xiaoyun reached out her hand to stroke Mumu's head and said with a smile. "You don't have to feel sad for Aunty. On the contrary, this is good for me. I can finally rest."
Mumu suddenly hugged Bai Xiaoyun and sobbed.
Bai Xiaoyun patted Mumu's back while looking at Yun Lintian. Her mind drifted to the unforgotten memory when she first met the previous Beyond Heaven King.
"Ughhhh….!" Yun Lintian groaned painfully. He was now drenched in sweat, looking miserable.
In Yun Lintian's mind, countless lightning sparks intertwined together constantly nourished his soul. He could obviously feel the change in his soul as his mind gradually became clearer, overflowing with immense mental power. Yun Lintian believed he could open Eyes of Heaven for two hours with no problem with his current strength.
So, lightning could nourish a human's soul as it was written in the Record of Life. Yun Lintian thought. He recalled the information related to the lightning element in the record.
Typically, practitioners would use a lightning element-based treasure to temper their souls. That was why Thunder Grass was ranked among the top of the precious magical plants.
Seeing it was the right time, Bai Xiaoyun said softly. "It's time."
Mumu left Bai Xiaoyun's embrace and looked at Bai Xiaoyun tearfully. "Aunty…."
"Little girl, take care of your sister. Don't let him bully her." Bai Xiaoyun smiled gently. She looked at Linlin, who was standing beside Yun Lintian. Her gaze was filled with love, affection, and endless tenderness.
A moment later, Bai Xiaoyun transformed into her White Tiger form.. Suddenly, nine brilliant golden-colored droplets flew out of her forehead and shot straight at Yun Lintian, slowly drilling into his body.
