Strange Murals

"In that case, let's seal off this area first, and then bring in professionals from the Fleet to study the Ruin here."

After circling the Ruin again, Jiang Lan gave instructions to the Immortals in the group.

"Yes, Your Niang Niang."

The Immortals obeyed and left. Jiang Lan turned her head and saw Bai Qiuran standing somewhere, staring blankly in one direction, lost in thought.

"Qiuran, what are you looking at?"

She walked over to Bai Qiuran's side and looked in the direction Bai Qiuran was gazing.

He was looking at a pillar with some indistinct patterns on it, but he could vaguely make out a group of creatures with three eyes, a group of creatures with pointed heads and no legs standing together, and above their heads was a huge Demon Monster, baring its fangs and claws, with a terrifying appearance.

"Nothing."

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's voice, Bai Qiuran withdrew her gaze.

"It's just a mural. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but I always feel like there's something important hidden in it, so I feel like there's something unusual about this mural."

"Did you notice anything unusual?"

Jiang Lan asked.

No.

Bai Qiuran shrugged.

"Given my complete ignorance of this race and civilization, it would be a miracle if I could discern anything from it."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Lan smiled at him and said, "Then let's go. Anyway, there are experts in charge here. They will definitely investigate and study the civilization here. We don't need to worry... Let's go back to the ship first."

"Good."

After Bai Qiuran and her group left the Material World and returned to the Consciousness Domain outside the world, the Fleet Void Airship that flew from the Immortal Realm had already assembled. Magnificent immortal Immortal City floated above several worlds, surrounded by immortal light, exuding majesty.

The flagship that Bai Qiuran and his group arrived on, together with three combat airships and nine transport airships, formed a magnificent main city.

Moreover, this main city also has factories. As long as there are materials continuously transported from the Immortal Realm, these dozen or so Immortal City can operate at full capacity and produce another identical Fleet Void Airship Ships within a month.

This is a piece of black technology left over from the Great Expansion of the Immortal Realm. After the expansion ended, it was sealed off by Bai Li. Only the Central Immortal Realm has the right to mobilize these Fleet. Even the Four Emperors of that time were wary of them. They are also one of the reasons why the Four Immortal Emperors did not dare to join forces to kill Le Zhentian, the direct descendant of the First Immortal Emperor.

Once these Immortal City produce new Void Airship Fleet, those Fleet will then expand and colonize other worlds, forming Immortal City clusters. At that time, the Immortal Realm forces will be able to produce twice the number of Void Airship Fleet in the same amount of time.

One becomes two, two becomes four... As long as there are enough materials, the Immortal City of the Immortal Realm will soon sweep across this Consciousness Demon Domain like Plague.

Of course, it's impossible for the Immortal Realm to produce so many materials in a short time. Even if they did, it wouldn't be possible to transport them here quickly through that small passage. Therefore, the Immortal City will likely have to search for the necessary materials themselves in the Material World of this Consciousness Demon Domain.

If such materials are available, the expansion speed can be greatly accelerated. If these materials do not exist in this world, then the expansion of the Immortal Realm's power will ultimately depend on the Immortal Realm slowly transporting supplies here through that passage.

Bai Qiuran led the girls to the main city that the flagship had transformed into. Inside the main city, the Immortals who were originally on the ships were also working in an orderly manner, and soon the entire Immortal City was fully operational.

Bai Qiuran and his group entered the command center. The flagship's captain immediately came to greet them and reported, "Immortal Ancestor, Consciousness Demon are approaching from the outer edge of the blockade line."

"If Consciousness Demon comes, then eliminate it and devour its concept. Why bother reporting to me? You can handle it yourselves."

Bai Qiuran gave him a strange look.

"That's not what I meant, Immortal Ancestor. When we established the blockade network, countless Consciousness Demon attacked from all around, and we wiped them out."

The captain cupped his hands to Bai Qiuran and said, "But this Consciousness Demon that came this time isn't here to cause trouble; it seems to be here to form an alliance."

"An alliance?"

Bai Qiuran surprise.

"Yes."

The captain's expression was very strange.

"It seems to regard us as one of its own powerful allies, and it has mistaken the blockade we've built for an isolation zone created by a special ability."

Bai Qiuran pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, take me there to have a look."

"Yes."

Led by the captain, Bai Qiuran followed him alone to a Void Outpost within the blockade network.

The Void Outpost was located near the blockade network. Standing inside the Void Outpost, even through the semi-transparent blockade Barrier, Bai Qiuran could clearly see the scenery in the Void outside.

The colorful Consciousness Domain still forms a vast and boundless Multiverse of Consciousness Demon World, but those Consciousness Domain, upon reaching this point, are cut in two by a thin sealing net, isolating them from the outside.

Above the severed river of Consciousness Domain stood a tall, strange Consciousness Demon.

The Consciousness Demon was covered in Green Scales, and its body resembled a human, but upon closer inspection, it was actually made up of countless snakes twisted and intertwined together.

Each of its fingers, toes, and joints has a snake's head growing from it, hissing and flicking its tongue.

Its head also consisted of three enormous snake heads, looking around, with fangs protruding from its mouth, and deep purple venomous smoke swirling around the fangs, clearly indicating its Deadly Poison.

Right now, the Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon's head is staring at this side of the Consciousness Domain, emanating an obscure fluctuation of Consciousness that echoes within Consciousness Domain. Using this method, it communicates with Bai Qiuran and the others. "Fellow traveler, I've come to seek an alliance with you. With a formidable enemy at hand, I don't think we need to be so rigid."

"A formidable enemy is at hand?"

Bai Qiuran thought about it with a puzzled expression.

"Could it be a conflict between Consciousness Demon?"

After much deliberation, Bai Qiuran summoned the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable. The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable had undergone further evolution, with several pieces of silver armor beginning to appear on his body. His Sword-Spear looked even sharper and more powerful. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had been coiled around his arm had also grown larger, now as thick as an arm, and was now wrapped around one of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable's shoulders with its tail, hovering in the halo behind his head.

Driven by Bai Qiuran's thoughts, the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable slowly rose up, passed through the blockade net, and landed on the river of Consciousness Domain, where he gazed at the serpentine Consciousness Demon from afar.

"Similar."

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable asked, "What important matter do you wish to discuss with me?"
