"This... is the birthplace of the Buddha?"
The little monkey followed Lu Xuan to the Land of the Far West. It looked around in a daze at the utter ruin.
The earth was parched and cracked, the mountain peaks scorched black, and the rivers reeked. A few Barbaric Creatures were barely clinging to life...
It was the complete opposite of the scene they had witnessed on Kunlun Mountain!
The little monkey, who looked like a Daoist Child, swallowed and subconsciously scratched its ears and cheeks.
"Teacher, Teacher, was the Buddha really born in a place like this?"
Lu Xuan smiled faintly.
"At the Beginning of Ancient Times, the Source of all things, the Dao occupied nine-tenths of this world, while the Buddha held but one-tenth... Although, that might not be entirely accurate.
"In truth, there was no Buddha at the Beginning of Ancient Times, only the Dao. The Buddha only began to develop after the Beginning of Ancient Times had passed."
