Fourth Chapter: Oh No! It's the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable!

Piloting the small Void Vessel that came with the Immortal Realm Survey Ship, Bai Qiuran led Jiang Lan, Tang Ruowei, and Wisdom Immortal on a tour of several nearby Material World.

Unlike this desolate world, several Material World nearby appear vibrant with life. Even the world without any material beings is a newly Creation world that emerged from Chaos.

Although it was still a sea of fire, Bai Qiuran believed that once the temperature of the flames dropped, brilliant life would surely be born within it.

However, perhaps because of its remote location, the Consciousness dimensions of the surrounding worlds are all pristine, with no trace of Consciousness Demon.

Jiang Lan and Tang Ruowei were both somewhat disappointed. Jiang Lan wanted to make up for her mistake of letting Taste Desire Venerable go, while Tang Ruowei simply regarded the Consciousness Demons as wild experience babies, wanting to hunt them down to feed her Consciousness Demon Clone.

After fulfilling her great wish, she cherished her Consciousness Demon Clone immensely, treating it like a Pokémon, taking meticulous care of it, and constantly feeding it to make it even stronger.

However, the unique life forms and civilizations that evolved in these Material World greatly satisfied Wisdom Immortal's thirst for knowledge. This guy found a recording device somewhere, probably equipped by someone at Le Zhentian's behest, and then recorded all the local customs and traditions of these Material World.

"A bumper harvest! A huge harvest!"

Wisdom Immortal controlled the recording device with her mind, making it float around, and then sighed, "It would be even better if there were Consciousness Demon. I've always wanted to study the symbiotic relationship between Consciousness Demon and material beings in a world with Consciousness Demon."

"You seem to have a lot of things you want to research."

Bai Qiuran spoke without turning his head as he piloted the airship.

"Of course, human curiosity is boundless."

Wisdom Immortal responded proudly, then sighed, "Alas, but we have to go back now. I'm still a little reluctant to leave. I hope my face is in good shape today, so we can encounter the Consciousness Demon on our way back—"

"Absolutely amazing."

Bai Qiuran glanced back at Wisdom Immortal with a strange expression, then looked up ahead.

"I've really encountered Consciousness Demon."

Where? Where?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan and Tang Ruowei immediately rushed over and looked towards the front of the airship.

"Look, it's over there."

Bai Qiuran pointed in a certain direction within the Consciousness Domain.

"The distance is too far; you probably can't see it with your naked eyes. Use your Spiritual Sense instead."

Jiang Lan and Tang Ruowei closed their eyes. The former released her Spiritual Sense, while the latter released her Consciousness Demon Clone, which had shrunk back to the size of a normal person. Looking up, they indeed saw a strange and ferocious Consciousness Demon rushing towards the boundary at full speed in the Consciousness Network between worlds in the Void.

This Consciousness Demon's true form was extremely large, resembling a bloated fat man, yet it looked ferocious and grotesque. Apart from an eye and a nose on its face, its body was covered with large mouths with long tongues protruding from all sides. Its abdomen was also a giant mouth with interlocking canine teeth, surrounded by a red ring. Its lower body was covered with tentacles like an octopus, and inside the tentacles was a mouth covered with serrated teeth like a turbine.

"So many mouths."

Jiang Lan said happily, "It's highly likely that it's Consciousness Demon under the command of the Taste Desire Venerable."

The true form of the Taste Desire Venerable is a massive, galaxy-sized ball of flesh covered in enormous mouths, and the Consciousness Demon under its command mostly feature mouths as their primary characteristic.

They are all Consciousness Demon born from the realm of Taste Desire Venerable, originating from the culinary desires of material beings.

"But what's this guy doing here?"

Bai Qiuran stared at the Consciousness Demon and said with a strange expression, "Now that the Taste Desire Venerable has been defeated and fled, did it escape after the group disbanded? That doesn't make sense. How could the Taste Desire Venerable tolerate traitors? Besides, it was severely injured by Lan'er. After returning to its own territory, it should have eaten all the traitors."

Seeing the Consciousness Demon charging towards them, Bai Qiuran's heart stirred.

"Let's hide and see what it's up to."

He piloted the Void Vessel, activated the invisibility Magic Array, and hid on the surface of a Material World. The consciousness Consciousness Demon also flew towards this world and landed on the Consciousness Domain on the surface of this world.

The Void Vessel was inches away from the consciousness Consciousness Demon, and only then did Bai Qiuran notice that the consciousness Consciousness Demon had many wounds of varying sizes on its body.

It was injured? Who did it fight? Pursuers from the Immortal Realm?

As Bai Qiuran pondered this, she saw that the Consciousness Demon had already pressed its face against the dimensional barrier, looking into the Material Plane.

In the Material Plane of this world, there exists a material being with three suction cup-like legs who has established a relatively advanced civilization. This being is skilled in telepathy, and through this telepathy, they have built a unified and prosperous nation.

The Fat Consciousness Demon took in everything. The souls of those intelligent beings who relied entirely on spiritual perception to live and develop, and whose spiritual fluctuations were extremely intense, were the best feast and nourishment for the Fat Consciousness Demon. Upon seeing this civilization, saliva involuntarily dripped from its mouths, and the giant mouth on its abdomen licked its lips and slowly opened a small slit.

The Fat Consciousness Demon stretched out its fat arms, tearing a rift between the Consciousness Domain and the material dimension. Then, from the giant mouth on its belly, a flexible tongue emerged and licked at a City built by intelligent beings within the Material Plane.

However, just as its tongue was about to extend into the dimensional channel, a sudden burst of Golden Thunder struck the sky, and a gigantic Sword-Spear descended from the heavens, impaling its tongue on the ground of the Consciousness Domain.

The chubby boy, Consciousness Demon pain, angrily raised his head, only to see a towering, silver-armored, White Hair War God standing before him, hands on hips, looking at him.

"It's Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable!"

The chubby Consciousness Demon was terrified. Ignoring the fact that its tongue was still stuck in the Sword-Spear, it struggled with the book and used brute force to forcibly sever its own tongue. Then, swinging its bloody severed tongue, it ran away without looking back, enduring the pain.

However, just as it turned around, a giant jade hand appeared in front of it, grabbed it, and hurled it onto the ground in the Consciousness Domain.

Bang!

The immense power caused the entire world to tremble. The intelligent beings living in the Material Plane sensed the violent tremors coming from their minds with some confusion, while the fat Consciousness Demon lying on the ground of the Consciousness Domain saw a goddess with a beautiful figure, as tall as the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable, standing behind it, looking down at it.

"Okay, got it."

A sound wave from a material being rang in its ear, and then Fatty, the Consciousness Demon, saw a White Hair Immortal Realm climb onto its head, stand in front of its eyes, and step on its eyelids.

The White Hair man lowered his head, a kind smile appearing on his face.

"Quickly, answer my question. If you tell the truth, I might consider giving you a quick death."
