The Wager Between the Virtual Foundation Stage and the Steel Plate

At the end of summer, Bai Qiuran brought Bai Xuxiang back to the Small Courtyard of the Hehuan Sect.

Both father and daughter wore straw hats, carried two insect nets on their shoulders, and Bai Qiuran also carried a gauze cage in her hand.

"Mother! Mother Xiangxue, Jinyao's mother, Aunt Ruowei, we're back!"

Upon seeing the front door, Bai Xuxiang dashed into the yard, shouting and yelling.

"I've told you so many times, don't call me 'Auntie'..."

Tang Ruowei was in the courtyard when she saw the little girl run in. She grabbed her and pinched Bai Xuxiang's cheek.

Call me older sister.

"But you call me Jinyao's mother 'sister,' so I should call you 'aunt.'"

Bai Xuxiang said in a childish voice, "Grandma Xi He taught me this."

You're so cute!

Tang Ruowei called out and reached out to hug the little girl, but Bai Xuxiang's abilities were now fully controlled. Seeing Tang Ruowei hugging her, the little girl immediately used her abilities to teleport behind Tang Ruowei and made a face at her.

"This little girl is not well-behaved at all."

Tang Ruowei was a little annoyed, but then she looked at Bai Xuxiang's figure and laughed.

"You're the epitome of saying one thing and meaning another."

Bai Qiuran walked in from outside, put away her hat and insect net, and placed the gauze cage in the corner of the yard.

As soon as the gauze cage was placed on the ground, it began to tremble, and the insects inside seemed quite restless.

"Master, what kind of insects did you take Xuxiang to catch?"

Looking at the constantly shaking cage, Tang Ruowei asked, "It seems a little too lively."

"Scorpion, spider, five-step snake."

Bai Qiuran replied, "Xuxiang said she needed to get some ingredients for her mother to make poison."

"... She really is Master's Wife's daughter."

Tang Ruowei sighed.

However, Tang Ruowei still thought she was very cute and wanted to hug her. Now, she had another motivation to grow her chest: to one day make Bai Xuxiang obediently let her hug her.

"By then, who knows how old Xuxiang will be."

Seemingly having seen through her thoughts, Bai Qiuran said expressionlessly.

Tang Ruowei glared at him and snorted, "Anyway, I'll definitely reach Foundation Establishment before someone else!"

I don't believe it.

Bai Qiuran also got excited upon hearing this.

"With my unparalleled talent, how could my Foundation Establishment speed be slower than your breast enhancement speed? Little girl, you're not good enough yet!"

"How about we make a bet?"

Tang Ruowei stood up, crossed her arms, and smiled arrogantly, "Whoever loses must grant the winner one request."

"Alright, let's bet. I might think twice before betting with others, but betting with you is something I don't need to hesitate at all."

Bai Qiuran also said arrogantly, "If I lose, you can make me do whatever I want."

"Me too."

Tang Ruowei extended her hand.

"Then it's a deal."

It's a deal.

Bai Qiuran gave her apprentice a high five.

I'm sure I can beat this girl.

Bai Qiuran felt a surge of smug satisfaction.

I'm sure I can beat my master.

Tang Ruowei was full of confidence.

The master and disciple each had their own plans, exchanged a smile, but at that moment, a sudden tremor came from the distant Void.

"... Huh?"

Sensing this stirring, Bai Qiuran immediately understood.

"My Consciousness Demon Clone has awakened."

"Mine too."

Tang Ruowei met his gaze.

"Senior Qiuran!"

Suddenly, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Li Jinyao, wearing an apron, came out.

"My Matchmaking Celestial Maiden has awakened."

"I see."

Bai Qiuran spoke to her, then went inside and found Jiang Lan holding her daughter.

Jiang Lan didn't say anything, but gave him a wink. Bai Qiuran understood. He went to Bai Xuxiang and asked his daughter, "Xuxiang, there are still a few days left of the holiday. Would you like to go to Haoting Xiaodu Heaven?"

"Oh no, Father!"

Bai Xuxiang was very unwilling, pouting as she said, "I want to finish my vacation!"

"Don't go to Granny Xi He's place to study these next few days."

Bai Qiuran stroked her daughter's head and said, "How about I have your grandmaster and grandmother take you to the Northern Immortal Realm for a hot spring bath?"

"Okay, okay."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuxiang readily agreed.

As long as it's not studying but playing, this girl agrees faster than anyone else.

So Bai Qiuran sent his daughter to Daoist Qingming's residence Heavenly General in advance. When he returned, he just received Le Zhentian's assembly order, which was personally delivered by Red Dust Immortal Elder.

While the Red Dust Immortal Elder returned to the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou to inform Bai Qiuran and the others of the news, Le Zhentian had already assembled an Immortal Realm force and set off into the depths of the Consciousness Demon Domain.

With the assistance of the Heavenly Dao Will Thought Imprint with their minds, Le Zhentian's ambush force traveled from the Borderlands to the edge of the Six Desires Consciousness Demons Realm, without alerting any other Consciousness Demon along the way.

On their way here, any Consciousness Demon who encountered them or might have witnessed them were annihilated by the small squad led by the Heavenly Dao Consciousness Demon Clone.

At the edge of the realm of the Six Desires Consciousness Demons, Le Zhentian's Immortal Realm army found a planet in the Material World, lay in ambush, and quietly waited for the opportunity to launch an attack.

According to the feedback from the Heavenly Dao Will, the remaining five Six Desires Consciousness Demons have fought to the point of serious injury in order to compete for the domain left behind by the Sight Desire Venerable.

However, they showed no sign of stopping; instead, they continued to amass troops, seemingly preparing to fight to the death within the domain of the Sight Desire Venerable.

A rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the planet, which was a dark red color. A blue Sword Light emerged from the rift, fell to the surface of the planet, and transformed into Bai Qiuran and his family, who Sword Flight.

They landed in the Immortal Realm Army Fortress inside the planet. After being notified, Le Zhentian immediately came and welcomed them inside.

"If you, my grandmasters, arrive, everything will be ready except for the final touch."

As Immortal Emperor Le walked towards the Fortress's Core, he said, "According to the intelligence gathered by the Spy I sent out a few days ago, the remaining five Consciousness Demons have rallied almost all the armies within their respective domains and are advancing towards the territories they have occupied in the original domain of the Sight Desire Venerable. They seem to be preparing for one last desperate push."

"I never imagined they would so easily descend into internal strife, just as we had predicted."

Bai Qiuran and said, "I was already prepared to go and kill two more Six Desires."

"They were never visionary to begin with; the internal workings of the Consciousness Demon were less divided than they were never truly unified."

Le Zhentian sighed, "If it weren't for their troublesome immortality, the Consciousness Demon Domain would have been wiped out by Master long ago."

"To see great profit and not pursue it, to hear of impending disaster and not prepare for it, to be shallow in matters of struggle and defense—such a person is doomed."

Bai Qiuran.

"However, I wonder to what extent my Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable will grow after completely devouring the Six Desires Consciousness Demons, and whether it will allow me to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in one fell swoop?"
