The beam of light was truly breathtaking! It was astonishingly large, entwined with massive bolts of lightning, resembling a celestial pillar connecting heaven and earth, exuding an immense sense of pressure.
For a time, everyone in nearly every corner of the Thunder God Immortal Realm witnessed this magnificent pillar of light. Under its influence, even high-grade immortals found their immortal energy suppressed. The beam persisted for a full three minutes before dissipating.
As the light vanished, Wu Tian, as if freed from a heavy burden, couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air. "My heavens," he said, clutching his chest, "what was that thing? Why did it have such a heavy aura?"
"In its presence, I felt like an ordinary person; all my immortal energy was unusable."
Lei Qianjiao also panted, saying, "I felt the same way. It's truly strange."
"But undoubtedly, in the Thunder God Immortal Realm, only the Thunder God himself could possess such power. So, I suspect this beam of light was triggered by something he left behind."
"Is that so?" Wu Tian asked, a little confused. Just then, a peculiar sensation surged within his heart. He had felt this sensation since entering the Thunder God Immortal Realm, but it had become less pronounced, so he hadn't paid much attention. Now, however, the feeling of being summoned was so clear, it was as if someone was speaking directly into his ear.
To ensure he wasn't mistaken, he specifically looked at Lei Qianjiao and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Lei Qianjiao looked at him blankly, then shook her head. "No, why? Did you sense something?"
Seeing that Lei Qianjiao didn't share the feeling, Wu Tian kept his thoughts to himself, his expression turning to one of surprise. He didn't understand what the voice in his ear was saying, but the sense of being summoned clearly directed him towards the direction of the light beam. This meant that the reawakening of this feeling was undeniably linked to the pillar of light.
With this in mind, Wu Tian quickly said to Lei Qianjiao, "Let's go. We should head directly towards the pillar of light. We might find something."
"Ah?" Lei Qianjiao was quite surprised by Wu Tian's words. She asked, "What's going on? We don't even know what that pillar of light is. Isn't it a bit too rash to just go there?"
Wu Tian was convinced his feelings were not wrong, so he said, "Don't worry about it so much. Just come with me."
"There must be something over there. What if it's something good?"
Lei Qianjiao hesitated. "Something good? Are you sure?"
"You know we've encountered trouble before. What if something else happens?"
Wu Tian knew that the previous encounter with the ape had left a psychological scar on Lei Qianjiao. Therefore, it was unlikely she would agree to go with just any persuasion. However, the urge in his heart made it impossible for him to take a detour.
He then devised a plan, showing Lei Qianjiao a mocking smile. "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"No way, you're the Saintess of the Holy Thunder Sect, and your strength has reached that of a high-grade immortal. If you're scared now, it's quite amusing."
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Lei Qianjiao immediately became displeased. She frowned slightly and said, "No, are you looking down on me?"
"My strength is greater than yours. If you dare to go, why wouldn't I?"
"I'm just considering the overall situation, worried that something might happen if we go. Don't think I'm timid!"
The more Lei Qianjiao explained, the more Wu Tian knew his words had taken effect. He continued to smile and said, "Is that so? In the end, isn't it still because you're afraid?"
"But if you're truly afraid, that's fine. I understand. After all, you're a weak woman."
"In that case, let's take a detour. That way, you won't be scared when we get too close."
Lei Qianjiao, being accustomed to arrogance, disliked hearing provocative words like Wu Tian's the most. So, she immediately got worked up and said angrily, "Who said I'm scared? Can you stop misinterpreting my words?"
"If you continue like this, I'll get angry."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Really, don't worry, I understand you. So let's do as I said and take a detour."
The more Wu Tian said this, the more Lei Qianjiao felt unconvinced. She continued to say angrily, "Wait a moment, I've changed my mind. Let's go there!"
Wu Tian suppressed the slight curve of his lips, maintaining a facade of concern. "Ah? I think we should forget it. You don't need to force yourself."
"I know you're doing this for my own good, knowing I want to go, and you don't want to spoil my mood. Now I understand your intentions, so it's fine if we don't go."
Lei Qianjiao immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? You think too highly of yourself!"
"Let me tell you, the reason I want to go is because I want to, it has nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself!"
"Now listen to me, let's go directly. You don't need to say so much useless stuff to me!"
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Wu Tian sighed and said, "Alas, I really don't know what to do with you."
"Fine, since you say so, what else can I say? I'll reluctantly accompany you."
After saying this, Wu Tian, afraid that Lei Qianjiao might change her mind, quickly turned and walked towards the pillar of light. Watching his retreating back, Lei Qianjiao couldn't help but pause, feeling that something was not quite right.
Wait, wasn't it Wu Tian who wanted to go? How did it turn into Wu Tian reluctantly agreeing to her? This didn't make sense!
It was only then that Lei Qianjiao finally realized she had been tricked by Wu Tian. In an instant, a feeling of shame and anger filled her heart. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Good for you, Wu Tian! How dare you play tricks on me? Let's see how I deal with you!"
With that, lightning began to coil around her hands, and she rushed directly towards Wu Tian!
"Oh my god!" Wu Tian hadn't expected Lei Qianjiao's reaction to be so strong. He immediately exclaimed and quickened his pace, fleeing in a flash.
