I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1256

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1257: Master Wuhu Returns to the Jianghu Chapter 1256: Chapter 1257: Master Wuhu Returns to the Jianghu Space twisted and turned, and one after another, shadows were released by Li Xiaobai as he walked, releasing more as he went along, with the number already exceeding fifty.

Onlookers like Xiao Lao Di became numb to the spectacle and no longer sought to understand how the other party achieved it. With so many clones, each retaining autonomous consciousness, even if they knew the method of creation, they doubted they could replicate it.

One can only say that comparing people can drive one to death, and comparing goods makes one throw them away.

The waves behind the Yangtze River drive those before; it appears that the young people of today really know how to play!

Watching the values on the System panel, a consecutive eighteen cities had been taken, and the task progress bar suddenly increased by a significant margin.

[Host: Li Xiaobai!]
[…]
[Achievement Task: Reverse Enlightenment (Current Task Progress: 1.7%). Reward: Unclaimed.]
[…]
This task progress bar jumped from 0.2 to 1.7, with almost every city reclaimed adding 0.1 to the progress, the overall speed is still considered good.

Since the first batch of clones was deployed, and subsequent layers were split, the number of his clones would only increase, and the number of cities reclaimed in the peripheral areas of Buddha Country would geometrically multiply. As long as he had money, taking down the entire Buddha Country would not be beyond reach.

“Damn it, it's a good thing I've gathered quite a bit of wealth lately, otherwise following such spending habits I would have gone broke!”

Li Xiaobai muttered to himself, relieved that the clones were permanent without any time limits, and the System finally did something humane.

“Senior, what's the situation with Heavenly Dragon Temple?”

With his focus withdrawn from the System interface, Li Xiaobai looked towards Xiao Lao Di and asked.

“Heavenly Dragon Temple is renowned for its Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions. When the temple was first established, it had the Eight Divisions, each comprised of one hundred and eight Arhats, each commanding their respective authority with considerable strength. But over the years, the original Eight Divisions have turned to dust, leaving only their descendants to form the new Eight Divisions, whose strength is not what it used to be. However, their accumulated foundation could rival a Super Sect,” said Xiao Lao Di.

According to Xiao Lao Di, the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Temple lay in the fact that the monks could set up lethal Formations. Each of the Eight Divisions alone was a Formation, and combining all eight would stack eight Formations together, making the power infinite.

Nowadays, there are two Saint Realm masters remaining in Heavenly Dragon Temple, one is Abbot Bobozi, and the other is Master Pipizi, the supervisor, both profound in Buddhist Law.

“But there's no need to worry too much. Our trip is about setting up shops for selling Huazi to earn resources, not to fight and kill. Entering the city isn't a difficult matter, and these big temples also encourage monks to exchange Buddhist Law with each other.”

Xiao Lao Di continued, “The one to be wary of is Great Thunderclap Temple. The whole Buddha Country holds it in the highest esteem. Without infiltrating this temple, your shop will never be stable. It can be said that as long as Master Wuyuzi is there, the Buddhism of the Western Continent can rise again.”

The group talked as they walked, and Xiao Lao Di, to avoid drawing attention, deliberately chose deserted areas. In a short quarter of an hour, they arrived at the front of Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Here, there were no cities, only a temple that was larger than any city. Emerging from a dense forest, they came upon a secluded path leading deeper in, with a giant stone placed beside the path, emblazoned with three large crimson characters: Heavenly Dragon Temple!

There was no one guarding the entrance, and very few monks coming and going.

“This temple is large enough; its territory is equivalent to more than ten cities. It's self-sufficient with all the necessary facilities for cultivation, and an ordinary monk does not need to leave for his whole life, only going out occasionally,” explained Xiao Lao Di.

“Let's go in directly.”

Ergouzi took the lead in the team, his golden Merit Value manifested above his head, unexpectedly breaking through to one million five hundred thousand. Li Xiaobai's value displayed above his head had decreased from one hundred and thirty million back to one hundred and twenty million–down by a whole ten million.

It must be because he saved too many people in Buddha Country, which amounted to significant merit, therefore a part of his Sin Value was counteracted by the Merit Value.

“A drop in the ocean, just need to do a couple more half Semi-Saint deeds and I'll be back.”

Li Xiaobai, unconcerned, swaggered into the city following behind Ji Wuqing.

The halls of Heavenly Dragon Temple were bathed in Buddha's light, and the sound of chanting filled the air.

Even with the System shielding him from all spiritual attacks, Li Xiaobai could still feel the density of the Power of Faith here, which was a level higher than the outside world.

A man and a dog walked along the small path into the temple, which was unlike any other seen before; there were no walls or grand entrance plaques, only small shrines and temples that lined the roads on both sides, resembling a marketplace.

The monks on the road were incessantly coming and going. Originally, no one paid attention to the group entering Heavenly Dragon Temple, but when they saw the long string of golden Merit Values and the glaring blood-red Sin Values, they all reacted differently.

A dog with one million five hundred thousand Merit Value!

A demon head with over a hundred million Sin Value!

These two were actually walking together and had entered their Heavenly Dragon Temple, for what purpose could that be?

“One hundred fifty thousand merits!”

“I've heard Buddhist scriptures under Master Bobozi of Heavenly Dragon Temple; I remember his own Merit Value was just over a million. What's the deal with this dog, how can it possess such a value?”

The cultivators widened their eyes, fixating on the golden merit, repeatedly checking it several times to confirm that their eyes weren't deceiving them. This was truly a dog with a million Merit Value, and it seemed its merit was even higher than that of the Abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple.

“Amitabha!”

“Which demon dares to swagger through our streets, could it be that you do not put the Disciples of our Buddhist Sect in your eyes!”

A group of grey-clothed monks approached by treading the air. These were Arhats, similar to patrol squads, who would appear at the first sign of trouble.

Regarding the pairing of Ergouzi and Li Xiaobai – truth be told, even they were a bit baffled and couldn't figure out what this man and dog intended to do.

“How dare you!”

“To see the Buddha's own son and not kneel down to pay your respects?!”

Ergouzi rebuked loudly, his voice laced with the majestic power of the Earth Immortal Realm, clearly reaching the ears of every monk around.

“Buddha's son?”

“This dog claims to be a Buddha's son?”

The monks showed a look of confusion in their eyes. They had never heard of any Buddha's son being a dog, but the Merit Value of one million five hundred thousand on the dog was so dazzling that they had to take it seriously. Perhaps this was another high-ranking monk or great virtuous being arriving.

“May I ask the master, which Buddha's son are you? Within Great Thunderclap Temple, we have not heard news of the anointing of another Buddha's son.”

This group of Arhats was still quite polite and didn't dare to act rashly, asking respectfully.

“I am the Buddha's son personally appointed by Master Wuyuzi, on that day given the Dharma name Wuhu, have preached scripture in the Great Thunderclap Temple, have you not heard of it?”

Ergouzi asked with a look of indifference.

At those words, the monks trembled and assumed an attitude of utmost respect: “Master Wuhu!”
