One Got Away

"They escaped?"

Bai Qiuran a moment, then patted Jiang Lan's shoulder to comfort her, "It's alright, we'll just go after it later, Lan'er, you don't need to worry about it... By the way, how did it escape from your grasp?"

"That Taste Desire Venerable kept spitting out smaller versions of himself as he ran, like a nesting doll."

Jiang Lan looked somewhat annoyed.

"After it spits it out, the smaller one is its true form, and it will continue to escape, while the shed skin will try to hinder my progress. I summoned water to annihilate the shed skin, and then the Consciousness Demon began to manipulate some Material World with civilizations to crash into me. I could only catch them... I chased after it until it was only half its original size, but it still managed to escape."

"It seems that this Taste Desire Venerable is the most cunning Consciousness Demon among the Six Desires."

Bai Qiuran sighed, "It has the least presence, so it's most likely to be an observer on the sidelines. Presumably, it preserved the most strength in the previous war. Its battered appearance was probably mostly an act. But it doesn't matter; the Consciousness Domain has boundaries. No matter how far it tries to escape, it can't go."

"That's right. There might still be creations of the Senior Disciple Brother existing outside the Consciousness Domain. If that thing still exists, then the Taste Desire Venerable would absolutely not dare to go there. It can run away, but it can't hide."

Le Zhentian also came over and comforted Jiang Lan, saying, "Grandmother, don't worry. This Consciousness Demon Domain is vast and boundless. The Consciousness Demon within is not just limited to the Six Desires. We will need to spend a long time to completely eradicate the Consciousness Demon within. At that time, the Taste Desire Venerable will definitely hunt us down."

"Then Zhentian."

Jiang Lan said seriously, "I hope that when the time comes, I will be the one to hunt down the Taste Desire Venerable."

"This..."

Le Zhentian looked at Bai Qiuran, who was standing behind Jiang Lan, and the latter nodded to him.

"Alright, then I will entrust the task of hunting down Taste Desire Venerable to my master's grandmother... I will also send out Spy, and I will immediately inform my master's grandmother as soon as there is any news about Lord Taste Desire Venerable."

"Can."

Jiang Lan was finally relieved.

"But this time, the harvest was really good."

Tang Ruowei was overjoyed.

"I feel my Consciousness Demon Clone has grown much stronger, Master. Perhaps my Self-Deliverance Great Vow is about to be fulfilled."

"Yes."

Bai Qiuran's mood improved considerably upon hearing this.

"After consuming the Thought Desire Venerable, my Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable power has reached a new level. Perhaps now, his Enlightening Finger could allow me to directly break through to the Foundation Establishment."

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

"Sigh, I hadn't thought that much about it."

Seeing the master and disciple smiling at each other, Li Jinyao stretched, showing off her beautiful young figure. Then, relaxing, she smiled at Su Xiangxue and said, "Sister Xiangxue, I heard that a new hot spring has been discovered in the Southern Immortal Realm. It's good for the skin. How about we bring Xuxiang along, and our whole family go on a trip to relax in the hot spring?"

"Very nice."

Su Xiangxue nodded.

"Perfect timing. Mei Qiao is all grown up now, it's time for me to hand over the management of the Hehuan Sect to her."

After the war ended, most of the Immortal Realm's Void Fleet remained, and based on the domain of the Sight Desire Venerable, they began to establish an enclave of the Immortal Realm within the Consciousness Demon Domain. Meanwhile, Le Zhentian led the remaining Fleet back to the Immortal Realm in the Immortal Realm, where he gathered more soldiers and generals, taught the Thought-Splitting Technique, and formed United Fleet specifically for sweeping away the Consciousness Demon.

They would start from the Immortal Realm Fortress within the Consciousness Domain, sweeping along the Consciousness Barrier towards the depths of the Consciousness Demon Domain, clearing away all Consciousness Demon they might encounter on the way from the Immortal Realm Fortress to the enclave of the realm of the Sight Desire Venerable.

Meanwhile, the domain of Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable will also expand with their progress.

This will be a protracted task, because the realm of Consciousness Demon is boundless and vast, and it may take tens of thousands of years to completely sweep away every corner of the Consciousness Domain.

However, a certain brother named Olga said something very good, "As long as we keep moving forward, hope is ahead." Therefore, as long as the Immortal Realm continues its work of sweeping away the Consciousness Demon Domain, one day, the uncontrolled Consciousness Demon in the Consciousness Demon Domain will cease to exist.

While the sweeping operation was underway, the missionary work of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable's faction also had to be carried out diligently.

Bai Qiuran imprinted his Thought Imprint on himself, so it was absolutely impossible for Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable to do evil. On the contrary, spreading the faith of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable would be more beneficial to the cultivation of material beings in lower Material Plane and the progress of their civilization.

At the same time, because they still harbored suspicion towards the Heavenly Dao, Le Zhentian believed that strengthening the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable was also a way to restrain the will of the Heavenly Dao Will. After defeating the Six Desires Consciousness Demons in the Immortal Realm, the will of the Heavenly Dao Will had slowly connected the will of the main body into this Consciousness Domain through the Great Dao Laws on the other side of the Consciousness Barrier.

However, this led to a shortage of manpower in the Immortal Realm immortal realm. Immortals were already a rare existence, and each Immortals was selected from tens of thousands of Cultivation Plane. Some immortals might not even be able to successfully Tribulation Crossing Ascension become True Immortal for thousands of years.

Bai Qiuran also believed that it was a waste to send Immortals to spread their teachings. In the early stages of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable belief system, they could help spread their teachings, but now, the Consciousness Demon Domain is gaining new advantages, while the Immortal Realm is in dire need of reconstruction. With the power of an Immortals, he is more than capable of accomplishing more meaningful things.

Therefore, Bai Qiuran proposed opening up some circulation permits between lower Material Plane to certain material beings, so that these beings who have accepted the faith of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable could help the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable spread his teachings.

The Consciousness Demon Domain, the Borderlands of the Six Desires Consciousness Demons, the first Material Plane that Bai Qiuran, Jiang Lan, and Su Xiangxue arrived at when exploring the territory of the Six Desires.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since the last invasion by Greater Consciousness Demon that destroyed two layers of the world. Since the Demons were slain, the remnants of the Earth Fairies, Fire Fairies, and Ice Fairies have traveled to the destroyed two layers to rebuild their homes.

Building upon the foundation of the God of Runes, the Great Sage of the Fairy Race promoted several new gods, headed by a deity known as the "Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable," and these gods all possessed extremely efficacious abilities.

By worshipping them and receiving their help, the Fairies and dragons quickly rebuilt their lost home.

However, today, a huge Rift suddenly appeared on the top of the World Tree, at the very top of the world.

Another meteor fell through the Rift, heading towards one of the layers of the World Tree.

In the forest, the Sacred Dragon Losa, who had been crouching near the house of the Forest Fairies Sophia and had been reborn as a young dragon, saw a shooting star streak across the sky and Consciousness shuddered.

It no longer crouched in place, but instead spread its Wings and took flight, circling in the sky, ready to dodge at any moment. If the meteor showed any sign of heading towards it, Losa would immediately evade it.

What amused the dragon was that its friend from its past life, and its adoptive father in this life, the red dragon Shaka, was also flapping its wings and flying up, staring in panic at the shooting star in the sky.

The two Behemoths exchanged a glance in the sky, both seeing the awkwardness in each other's eyes, but they tacitly turned their heads away, pretending not to see each other.

"Let's take a walk."

Losa was the first to greet them.

"Yes."

Shaka's smile looked fake.

"Just finished eating, went out for a flyover to digest."

A whooshing sound came from the sky, and the meteor indeed veered off course and plummeted towards them. Upon hearing the whooshing sound, the two giant dragons instantly separated, rapidly flapping their wings and scattering in opposite directions.
