The reason Ling Yan said that was because he genuinely wanted to see what was hidden in Mu Yuan's consciousness world.
Because of Mei, he could sense that there was a high probability of a spirit beast in there.
Having a spirit beast or a spiritual artifact in one's consciousness world was a characteristic of all Shirae Star people.
This was also the main reason why the Shirae Star was destroyed and its people were massacred.
Shirae Star people who awakened a spirit beast would grow together with their spirit beast.
Possessing a fully developed spirit beast would make Shirae Star people, who were born with special abilities, extremely powerful.
The consciousness world was the cradle for nurturing spirit beasts.
Speaking of which, Ling Yan's discovery of the Shirae Star's secret was purely coincidental. He accidentally found a domain within the Prison Star system that even he, with the highest authority, could not enter.
