"These were actually the weakest, the very bottom? Then what grandeur must the strongest in the Primordial World possess?"

"And what was that refining essence into qi Snake Maiden mentioned? Was that a cultivation realm in the Primordial World?"

"So there were no Soul Beasts in the Primordial World. They were all called Demon Beasts."

"Note down the place name: Northern Julu Continent. This is the first territory in the Primordial World to be revealed, and it belongs to the Demon Race."

Members of the major factions across the Douluo Continent analyzed every word, afraid of missing any important information.

The sheer amount of information Xiao Wu had brought them this time was staggering.

The people of the major factions were all numb. From this tip of the iceberg, they could see that the Primordial World's reserves already far exceeded their capacity to imagine.

They could not imagine just how powerful a person or beast could be.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo stared silently at his sword. Had his entire life really not been wasted?

Many Titled Douluos were questioning their lives.

Tai Tan had become a god, yet could not defeat ordinary bandits. That terrifying eagle was stronger than the bandits, yet it was still at the very bottom. They could not imagine just how powerful the mighty figures of the Primordial World were.

Everyone was stunned by this information. Only Tang San clenched his fists.

"Snake Maiden, you actually dared to make Xiao Wu call you master. You've already given yourself a reason to die!"

Just then, Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San on the shoulder.

"Little San, don't let hatred blind you. At least Xiao Wu is still alive, isn't she?"

Tang San immediately calmed down. "Teacher, don't worry. I won't act rashly before I'm strong enough."

"Good. I'm very pleased that you could calm down."

With a self-satisfied air, Yu Xiaogang handed over his notebook.

"Little San, take a look. This is the analysis I just made."

"Oh?"

Tang San took the notebook, and his eyes lit up.

"According to Teacher's analysis, this Northern Julu Continent is equivalent to our Douluo Continent's Star Dou Great Forest. It's just that the Demon Beasts inside are a little stronger. There may well be a chance to rescue Xiao Wu in the future."

The Star Dou Great Forest? I know that place. No matter how dangerous it is, surely people still go there?

Tang San was instantly fired up.

"Teacher, I understand. As long as Xiao Wu isn't dead, there's a chance."

"You can be taught."

The others all looked rather strange when they heard Yu Xiaogang's analysis.

Was this only a little stronger than the Star Dou Great Forest? And you don't even know how big the Northern Julu Continent is, yet you can reach that conclusion?

But Flender trusted Yu Xiaogang one hundred percent.

"That's Xiaogang for you! You've gotten to the bottom of the Primordial World so quickly. Little San, don't worry. When the time comes, I'll bring Shrek's monsters along to rescue Xiao Wu with you."

"Thank you, everyone."

Tang San was delighted to hear this and glanced at his daddy.

Tang Hao, whose brain had never worked particularly well to begin with, gave a slight nod at these words.

These people can still be of some use. Yu Xiaogang does have a few tricks up his sleeve.

Just then, Dai Mubai's voice rang out.

"Look, everyone! Fatty seems to have appeared somewhere new again."

Within the screen of light, Ma Hongjun faced a crimson world.

Desolation filled his vision, and scattered white bones littered the ground.

"This is bad. Hongjun's situation may be even more dangerous than Xiao Wu's."

Flender's expression immediately darkened.

"Don't go croaking like a crow."

Yu Xiaogang snapped at Flender, then fixed his unblinking eyes on Ma Hongjun.

"Where is this? I want to go back! I don't want to come to the Primordial World anymore!"

Ma Hongjun was already scared out of his wits. The aura emanating from those white bones on the ground nearly made him wet himself.

His breathing earlier had made him a god and completely removed the influence of his Evil Fire, but now he had no attention to spare for happiness. There was only panic.

Just then, a humming sound reached his ears.

Ma Hongjun immediately tried to find somewhere to hide, but there was not even a blade of grass here. Gritting his teeth, he burrowed his plump body straight into a pile of white bones.

Before long, through the gaps between the bones, Ma Hongjun saw a group of bald men in kasayas approaching, chanting scriptures.

They radiated a reassuring aura, and Ma Hongjun instantly calmed down.

"I'd say Ma Hongjun's luck is excellent. He hasn't encountered bandits or Demon Beasts, but good people."

Yu Xiaogang spoke with great enthusiasm.

"The white bones on the ground must belong to Demon Beasts and villains these bald men killed."

Tang San's eyes lit up as well. He recognized them.

"This is Buddhism. It's good."

"Buddhism? Little San, how do you know?"

Not only Yu Xiaogang, but Tang Hao and the others also looked at Tang San.

"I read about it in a book. These bald men are actually monks. They hold compassion in their hearts."

Tang San answered calmly. He could not possibly admit that he was a transmigrator. Meanwhile, towering waves churned in his heart. Ma Hongjun really was lucky. Having encountered Buddhism, he definitely would not die.

Once I reach the Primordial World, I can find Ma Hongjun first, then have him help rescue Xiao Wu.

"Xiaogang, I was rash just now. You were right."

Flender also breathed a sigh of relief. "Hongjun, hurry out and seek refuge with them. Get yourself settled first."

Sure enough, Ma Hongjun did not disappoint Flender.

"Um, wait a moment!"

Ma Hongjun crawled out of the pile of white bones.

A trace of mockery flashed deep in the leading monk's eyes. He had long since noticed someone was there, but had not expected him to crawl out of his own accord.

"Amitabha Buddha. This humble monk is Kongxin, abbot of Nalanda Temple. Benefactor, where have you come from, and where are you going?"

Listening to all this chatter, Ma Hongjun scratched his head.

"Can I join you?"

"Oh? Benefactor, you wish to join Nalanda Temple?"

"Yes!"

Ma Hongjun nodded. This place stretched beyond the eye's reach. If he missed out on this whatever-it-was temple, he really might end up a corpse exposed in the wilderness.

"Of course. The Buddha delivers those bound by fate. Your appearance here, benefactor, naturally means your destined bond with our Nalanda Temple has arrived."

"Come with this humble monk for now. Tomorrow, I shall shave your head and ordain you."

Kongxin invoked the Buddha's name again. Ma Hongjun copied him, pressing his palms together, and followed behind the monks.

"Hahaha! I think this Nalanda Temple is quite good. In the future, all of us at Shrek can enter Nalanda Temple."

Flender laughed happily.

"But it looks like we'd have to shave our heads."

Oscar was somewhat reluctant.

"Foolish! You've seen what the Primordial World is like. Get strong first, then grow your hair back. Wouldn't that do?"

Flender scolded him.

"Yes, Dean. I understand."

Oscar answered helplessly.

Tang San merely smiled without speaking. Buddhism was not that easy to join, but he would not say so. In any case, he would not join Buddhism. He still wanted to nest together and fly side by side with Xiao Wu.

"Note this down. Another faction has appeared: Buddhism. It appears benevolent. It's a good faction."

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi had someone record the important information.

"Those white bones must have been left behind when Buddhism hunted Demon Beasts. Buddhism truly possesses great love."

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might be able to secure an affiliation with Buddhism."

Ning Fengzhi committed Buddhism to memory as his first choice for an alliance of kindred branches after reaching the Primordial World.

Sword Douluo, however, had some reservations. "Fengzhi, I keep feeling that this Buddhism isn't reliable. Let's watch a little longer before deciding."
