"This... this junior did not know! I came late and knew little of the Primordial Continent!" Xiao Hua shrugged. "Of course, if that Devil Race's Devil Venerable had already existed before you two seniors arrived, perhaps even you two seniors might not necessarily have discovered him!"
"That is even more impossible!" Diting shook his head even more firmly. "My Buddhist Lord..."
At this point, Diting said no more, but Xiao Hua understood. Before Namo Maitreya Buddha, even a Devil Venerable could not possibly hide without a trace. However, Xiao Hua truly did not know what lay above a Devil Venerable, nor did he dare speak nonsense. He could only hedge, saying, "If that is so, then how should the vanished souls be explained?"
"Hmph..." Tun Tian Beast snorted coldly. "No need to say so much! Little fellow, come with us to take a look before the grand formation and you'll know! Diting, are you coming or not?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hua was overjoyed. "This junior naturally wishes to go. This junior also wishes to pay respects to Dragon God Venerable's remains. Oh, perhaps I might even catch a glimpse of Namo Maitreya Buddha's holy visage!"
The moment Xiao Hua said this, Diting's heart skipped a beat. How could he possibly feel at ease letting Xiao Hua seek out Jiang Liuer's previous life's corpse? Diting hurriedly replied, "Of course I'm going! That Devil Race's Devil Venerable dared scheme against me—I'll make him know my power too!"
Immediately afterward, the two strange beasts brought Xiao Hua and teleported to Tongtian Peak! At this time, floodwaters still surged around Tongtian Peak. Other than the collapsed remnant peak of Tongtian Peak still lying there, not yet corroded by the Innate Heavy Water, the other mountain ranges and enormous boulders were all slowly dissolving.
