News of the Grand Disciple's Grandson

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable casually found a place to sit down, and then two large black snakes crawled in from outside, carrying trays on their heads. The trays contained a bottle of drink and a plate of red meat, which they placed in front of the two Consciousness Demons.

"Eat."

The Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon immediately began to feast, its countless snake heads tearing at the large chunk of red flesh, while its largest snake head poured a little of the liquid from the bottle, drank it, and let out a sigh of pleasure.

"Hey fellow human, do you still eat this kind of stuff?"

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable glanced at the red meat and drinks, but showed no intention of touching them.

"These are offerings."

The Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon looked at the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable and replied, "Fellow being, I know what you're trying to say. If I could, I would also like to consume fresh souls and concepts every day, but that's not how life works. The lower beings of the Material World that I've kept in captivity offer me such things from time to time. No matter how delicious they are, I can't consume them all at once. Therefore, I feign compliance, accept their offerings, and bestow small favors upon them, and they will then voluntarily come to provide for you."

The Material World?

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable asked, "Can there still be living beings in the Material World?"

"Some."

The Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon nodded.

"In fact, most of us are born from the twisted thoughts, delusions, and fantasies of these foolish creatures."

"But in the world I was born in, in Another Dimension, nothing alive remained."

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable casually shoved his fingers into the red meat on his plate and said, "I went there once and found that even the Stars were lifeless."

"In your worlds, there certainly wouldn't be any living beings in the Material World."

A smile emanated from the Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon's Consciousness fluctuations.

"After all, the location is just too good. Your worlds are near the edge of the Consciousness Barrier, which is the front line. In the Material World, there should only be some remnants of ancient material life. You saw it too, right? That indestructible, boundless barrier formed by Divine Power. I heard that on the other side of the barrier, there is a group of Material World beings whose strength is no less than ours, but ultimately, life forms like us are much more advanced."

"Oh."

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable nodded.

"So what's that barrier all about? Is it to defend against life forms from the Material World on the other side?"

"I don't know about that."

The Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon replied, "That Consciousness Barrier has existed for far longer than I have. Perhaps only the most powerful beings in the Consciousness Sea Ocean know what that barrier is and what its purpose is."

"Oh, and who are those gentlemen?"

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable faced a series of problems.

"They are the most powerful beings in this Consciousness Sea Ocean, wielding absolute power. They are also our kind, but far stronger than us. They were once collectively known as the Seven Emotions... Now they are collectively called the Six Desires, because in the previous chaotic battle, one being perished, and its body and concept were divided among the remaining six beings."

A kind of awe and emotion emerged from the consciousness fluctuations of the snake-shaped demon.

"A while ago, they led their respective armies in a massive melee in this area. I was hiding on the edge of the battlefield and was fortunate enough to witness their presence... It was a magnificence and power that words cannot describe."

"I can't imagine it."

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable made up a story.

"Of course you can't imagine it. Before witnessing them, no one could fathom their power and terror."

The Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon glanced at the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable, its eyes filled with disdain.

"Even if we country bumpkins grow up for another ten thousand years, we're no match for any random leader in their army... The guy we're dealing with this time was sent from deep within their territory to clean up the mess in this area."

"So, according to you, we won't be able to defeat it even in ten thousand years? What's the point of joining forces then? We should just pack up and run away!"

"This Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable said."

"That's not the case. It's true that we can't handle the leaders of their army at all, but after the great battle, I heard that in the depths of the Consciousness Sea Ocean, in the territory of the Six Desires, countless material beings in the worlds they had raised began to rebel, so their armies were all dispatched back to suppress them."

The Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon said, "The one that came this time isn't one of their kind that could be selected for their army... It's just a janitor randomly sent to Cleaner up the battlefield. After the war, there are no powerful beings of its kind in this area. Besides it, you are the strongest of your kind that I know. Of course, it definitely wants to achieve its evolution by conquering this area."

"I see."

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable nodded.

"One last question, may I see your Material World? I've never seen what creatures in the Material World look like in my entire life."

"Of course."

It's clear that the Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon was willing to grant any request in order to win over the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable as an ally. Upon hearing the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable's request, it extended a snake head, spewed out a beam of light, and easily tore open a passage to another dimension within its domain.

The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable arrived at the passage and looked into the Material World through it. The structure of the Material World in this world was also very peculiar. At the top of it was a sea of clouds, with the sun, Sun and Moon and Stars floating in this sea of clouds. Their numbers were very small. Below was an endless Void Void stretched to the edge of the world and connected with the real Void outside.

The inhabitants of this Material World live on a group of broken continents floating in the center of the world, traveling between them by airship.

The main inhabitants of this world are a group of Snake People. They have snake heads but human-like bodies. It is evident that they possess a very advanced civilization, capable of creating flying tools and manipulating unique elements by drawing Runes.

Beneath their continent, on some smaller continents in the dark Void, live bizarre and terrifying creatures. They are ferocious and frequently attack the upper realm.

Bai Qiuran stared at the Runes drawn by the Snake People, vaguely feeling that some of them looked familiar.

What are those?

He pointed to a Runes and asked the Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon.

"Oh, this..."

The Snake-Shaped Consciousness Demon said somewhat irritably, "Years ago, the Consciousness Sea Ocean fought a great war with the material beings on the other side. I heard that a leader of the Material World didn't retreat but instead ended up on our side. While evading the pursuit of the Seven Emotions, he continuously taught what he had learned to the local Material World beings, awakening their intelligence and making them resist us, causing us a lot of unnecessary trouble. I think the Runes of these beings must have originated from him. I've heard that this recent uprising of Material World in the Six Desires Realm is also related to this leader of the material beings on the other side."
