I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1277

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1278: I Am Different, I Can Fake It Really Well Chapter 1277: Chapter 1278: I Am Different, I Can Fake It Really Well The Buddhist Sect became hastily busy, while the instigator of the catastrophe, Li Xiaobai, already left leisurely, riding his golden chariot and surfing carefree on the sea surface, quite comfortably.

Just a short while ago, he received a system notification tone, stating that the achievement task had been completed.

With Huazi's explosion in the clouds, the entire Western Continent fell into chaos, and the progress of the Reverse Enlightenment task surged to one hundred percent in a mere instant, exhilaratingly taking flight.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the achievement task: Reverse Enlightenment. Reward available!]
[Ding! Detected that the host has received a reward: Faith Call Transfer!]
[Faith Call Transfer: A passive skill. The Accumulated Power of Faith from the Emerald Glaze Body is automatically transferred into the statue. ]
[Note: Establish faith to gain eternal life; Faith Call has been transferred!]
The achievement reward offered a somewhat puzzling skill, Faith Call Transfer!

This annotation is still as ever elusive, seemingly saying something but then again feeling as if it didn't say anything at all.

Faith Call Transfer, and it's also related to this new skill related to statues, a skill that's only recently been acquired and not yet thoroughly researched.

[Statue: Erect a statue that can be revered by thousands. Only such a statue is eligible.]
These two skills seem rather useless, toiling on the edge of a knife only to be given a passive skill like Faith Call Transfer?

Isn't it just transferring the Power of Faith absorbed by the Emerald Glaze Body onto a stone statue? This reward seems somewhat too unexpected.

“The key should be the Power of Faith, what exactly is its use, or is there some more exquisite purpose that remains unknown?”

Li Xiaobai murmured to himself, erecting a stone statue to absorb the Power of Faith; this was something he was familiar with. If it were to be built, wouldn't it be tantamount to another Buddhist Pagoda?

But he does not need to enlighten the people. There must be other wonderful uses for this Power of Faith!

Patting the scruffy little dog lying next to him and dozing off, the creature immediately sprang to its feet alertly and looked around, confirming there was no danger before asking, “What's up, is it time to split up the money?”

“Not yet, haven't sorted it out yet. Don't rush; first, let me ask if you know the uses of the Power of Faith?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

“You've asked the right person about this Buddhist Divine Skill. The Buddha knows everything!”

“Within the Buddhist Sect today, many Great Divine Powers need the enhancement of the Power of Faith, without which the might of their calligraphy Divine Skills would greatly diminish, even possibly halving. Now that the Power of Faith in the Buddhist Sect has been swept clean, their fighting powers will inevitably decline, and our return to the Eastern Continent is absolutely safe. They would not dare to chase too deeply!”

Ergouzi proudly said.

“Besides these, are there any other uses, something more secretive?”

Li Xiaobai continued to inquire.

“Wasn't this thing invented for enlightening the people? This is the Buddhist Sect's greatest secret; what else could there be?”

Ergouzi was confused, pondered for a moment then spoke again, “However, the Buddha once saw a volume in which it was recorded in bits and pieces that one who is imbued with the Power of Faith is invulnerable to all laws and can revive the dead or reanimate flesh and bone from blood, a truly divine technique of the Immortal Gods.”

“Revive the dead or reanimate flesh and bone from blood?”

Li Xiaobai was moved, there was such an effect!

“I've heard of this as well. Legend has it that the real Buddha gathers the Power of Faith from all beings in the world, bearing the great vow of the masses. Every move he makes no longer represents himself, but the people of the world. He cannot die until the great vow is fulfilled, and even in death, strong conviction would pull him back from the Ghost Gate!”

“However, this is something that only monks with great virtue can accomplish. If one truly has such a breadth of mind, becoming a Buddha would be effortless. Someone like Wuyuzi who is selfish and only engages in harmful deeds for personal gain will certainly never touch this realm!”

Xiao Lao Di also chimed in from the side.

The Power of Faith really works wonders in healing the flesh and Divine Soul, which is why he's reluctant to start a big fight on Buddhist Sect's turf.

“Kid, this venerable one noticed long ago that the little specks of light on you have increased!”

“Are you trying to become a Buddha or what?”

Ji Wuqing eyed Li Xiaobai suspiciously, asking this question out of nowhere indicated he was also interested in the Power of Faith.

“Just asking, it's nothing serious.”

Li Xiaobai rolled his eyes at him and laughed it off.

“Speaking of which, our narrow escape this time has probably completely stirred up the feud between Buddha and Demon Clans. The Buddhist Sect won't let it go, and a storm of bloodshed is likely on the horizon!”

Xiao Lao Di tsk-tsked in wonder, feeling like he's living in a dream. To think that one day he could actually shake the foundation of the Buddhist Sect–this was inconceivable in the past.

“Everything was done by the Blood Demon Sect, what's that got to do with me, Li Xiaobai? Once we get back to the Sword Sect, we'll just cultivate honestly for a while and lie low until the heat dies down before we go out again.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand nonchalantly.

“Right, that's all trivial, their scuffle's none of our business. But shouldn't we divide up the resources we've gathered this trip?”

“Kid, where's our money?”

Ergouzi grinned and tilted his head to the side, squinting as he slowly asked.

“This venerable one has been keeping tabs in my heart, you know. The income from just one small city could reach tens of billions, not to mention the other major temples. Just the top-grade Immortal Stones gathered from those 250 peripheral cities should amount to some 300 million billion!”

“Plus, with Bodhi Temple and Heavenly Dragon Temple, we've got a solid trillion to our names!”

Ji Wuqing counted on his claws earnestly.

Upon hearing this figure, both Ergouzi and Xiao Lao Di's eyes lit up with excitement. The reason they didn't get straight to the point was that such a staggering number made them feel a surge of emotion they wanted to calm down before making their claim.

The thought of the terrifying wealth they would soon possess was enough to make one's heart palpitate with excitement!

A trillion's worth of top-grade Immortal Stones is no longer a matter of being as rich as a nation; it's the resource of an entire Mainland. Now all focused in the hands of one, it's not only this lifetime, but the next and the one after that won't have to worry about Immortal Stone Resources again.

“With such an immense amount of resources, if we split it evenly, each person would easily have tens of billions. Can you all even store so much?”

Li Xiaobai said calmly and unhurriedly, already having the situation under his thumb.

With the System by his side, he could store resources, but the others couldn't. Tens of billions is an incomprehensible number–if thrown out, it could level the sea below to the brim!

“How about this, I'll give each of you ten billion for now, and the rest we'll just store with me. Later on, we could specially create a small world to store our money, how's that?”

Li Xiaobai proposed cheerfully.

“This…”

“So how are you storing it?”

A man, a chicken, and a dog all asked, a bit dumbfounded. Indeed, it was a very practical problem; their storage rings simply couldn't hold that many resources.

Li Xiaobai said, “I'm different, I can store a lot!”
