Would You Like to Try the Faith of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable?
Bai Qiuran his sword, carrying Su Xiangxue and Jiang Lan to explore the land.
The Material Plane of this world is not large; it is much larger than the world in which Bai Li was reincarnated, but much smaller than the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.
Moreover, the structure of this world is quite peculiar. After exploring it for a while, Bai Qiuran and the others discovered that the world as a whole is shaped like a tree.
The tree trunk is located at the center of the world, reaching from the heavens to the Netherworld. Stars surround the starry sky outside the tree canopy. The oceans and lands of this world are the lowest layer of the Giant Tree canopy. The Giant Tree is divided into seven layers, each with a different appearance.
The lowest level is the ocean and the land, where Water Fairies and Mud Fairies dwell, while the highest level is dominated by Air Elementals and what the Fairies call Holy Elementals. The Royal City of the Fairies and dragons is also located here.
Originally, these worlds were isolated from each other, but the arrival of the God of Runes changed everything. He built Heavenly Ladder with Runes to connect the upper and lower realms, linking the entire world together, and civilizations flourished as a result.
After traveling the world, at the invitation of the Great Sage Themis, Bai Qiuran and his party arrived at the Fairies' City built at the top of the world, where the Great Sage personally arranged accommodations for them.
This residence is less than 500 meters away from the Sage Runes Tower the Great Sage resides, and the lake where the Great Sage often meditates is right in front of the residence. It is less a reception and more a personal oversight by the Great Sage.
However, Bai Qiuran and the others didn't care. Since they had a clear conscience, they moved in without any qualms.
After Bai Qiuran and the others checked in, every morning, the golden-haired Fairies Great Sage would come to the edge of the lake in front of the door and meditate quietly.
Bai Qiuran would occasionally bump into her when she got up early, and when she had nothing else to do, she would observe the sage's meditation process.
Her strength had essentially reached the pinnacle of this realm. Until someone opened up the next realm of the Way of Runes, no matter how much she cultivated, Themis's strength would not improve qualitatively. However, she was still following the most basic Runes cultivation method, condensing the Runes engraved on her limbs and bones again and again.
Thanks to her, Bai Qiuran has also compiled all the cultivation methods of this Runes Cultivation System from low to high over the past few days.
"Since the path of cultivation is blocked, why not think of other ways?"
Finally, one morning, Bai Qiuran asked the question to the Great Sage Themis.
"Other methods?"
Themis was absorbing the energy contained in the morning sunlight, and dazzling golden Runes appeared on her body, shimmering with golden light. Upon hearing this, the Great Sage withdrew the Runes from his body and asked curiously, "What does Mr. Bai mean...?"
"For example, researching new Runes, or deciphering other cultivation methods, etc..."
Bai Qiuran replied.
"Mr. Bai is joking."
Themis laughed upon hearing this, "These Runes were passed down from the God of Runes; how could we possibly understand them?"
"Why not?"
Bai Qiuran said, "Perhaps the guy who researched this Runes back then isn't even as advanced as you guys now."
Themis clearly did not believe it.
"Anyway, the God of Runes never said you were forbidden from researching these things."
Bai Qiuran said, "Alright, if you won't take this path, how about we try another method?"
What method?
The Fairies Great Sage's attitude was clearly somewhat perfunctory.
"I know that besides the God of Runes, there are other Deity in this world, one of whom is called the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable, who is dedicated to protecting the evolution and breakthroughs of all living beings. Sage, would you like to give him a try?"
"Mr. Bai."
The Great Sage's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Such jokes are not to be taken lightly."
I'm not kidding you.
Bai Qiuran also said seriously, "Didn't you say back then that the God of Runes was like a mentor to you? Now that you've learned almost everything your mentor taught you, it's time to learn new things from other mentors, isn't it?"
"The God of Runes is indeed our mentor."
Themis said solemnly, "But there can only be one mentor."
"The accomplished can be a teacher. No one stipulates that a student can only have one mentor, nor does anyone stipulate that you can only worship the God of Runes Deity. Not even the God of Runes himself has said that, has he?"
Bai Qiuran advised Themis, "I'm not trying to be mean, Great Sage, but this world is already facing the threat of Demons. Those extraterrestrial Demons could flood into your world at any moment and destroy everything. At this time, what you should do is to preserve the flame of your civilization at all costs, instead of stagnation and stagnation because of some trivial reasons... I'll stop here. Great Sage, think it over carefully."
After saying that, he walked towards the residence, intending to wake Jiang Lan and Su Xiangxue. Halfway there, he suddenly stopped and added a sentence.
"If the Great Sage is willing to try the method I have described, then he may come to me; I will welcome him at any time."
"Staying stuck in the past...?"
Watching Bai Qiuran disappear from sight, Themis withdrew her gaze and looked at the Runes in her palm.
The sacred Runes shimmering with a faint golden light in her palm was the first Runes she had ever successfully condensed in her life. It represented "gentle light," and throughout her journey from a little Fairies to Great Sage, this Runes had always shone with such gentle light, never changing.
"Civilization needs progress..."
The Great Sage looked into the distance and clasped his hands together.
"My God, have we forgotten your teachings?"
This is it.
Beyond the Material Plane, within the Void of Consciousness Domain, several strangely shaped and terrifying Consciousness Demon gathered on the outer perimeter of the Material Plane where Bai Qiuran and his companions were located.
"Are you sure that strange thing from the Borderlands ended up in this world?"
Several Consciousness Demon whispered amongst themselves, their Consciousness fluctuating wildly and erratically.
"This is it. I saw it tear apart many of its kind before it crawled inside."
A Consciousness Demon cracked open its bloodshot eyes, rolled them twice, and then stared intently at the Material Plane of this world.
"Even the guy who originally occupied this area is dead. Come to think of it, the level of civilization in this Material Plane has reached the standard for [harvest], right?"
"It has indeed been achieved."
A greedy Desire emerged from the fluctuations of Consciousness in several Consciousness Demon beings.
"How about we—"
"Search it!"
Just then, from the depths of a distant realm, a vast and terrifying wave of Consciousness suddenly swept over, resounding deep within the minds of these Consciousness Demons.
"Even if it means destroying and devouring the entire world, you must find out exactly what that thing from the Borderlands is!"
"Hetushu. com. com is..."
The Consciousness Demon trembled with fear and hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy before the majestic being deep within the domain.
