The White-browed Elder Monk’s expression was brilliant, fluctuating between shadows and light; in the end, he remained silent, tacitly acknowledging Li Xiaobai’s words.
He was placed atop the moral high ground and what could he say? Obstructing would an he doesn’t wish for the profound thods to spread to the world, wanting to monopolize them himself; not obstructing would an acquiescing to Li Xiaobai’s wishes.
The crowd followed Li Xiaobai surging towards Gutuo Temple.
"Master, why don’t you smile? The Ancient Buddha I t always smiled kindly, you should learn from that."
Li Xiaobai looked at the White-browed Elder Monk and said.
The White-browed Elder Monk stiffly eked out a slender smile: "[Amitabha], the Ancient Buddha’s realm is lofty and unattainable for this old monk."
Li Xiaobai nodded: "However, when that Ancient Buddha was rendered utterly defenseless, he didn’t smile either; his expression was identical to yours now, Master."
The White-browed Elder Monk clenched his fists in anger. This young man was insidiously mischievous, speaking half-truths just to offend him.
"What do you intend to do, sir? You might as well speak plainly!"
Master Gu De asked in a low voice, very anxious that if the masses truly ca to hear Li Xiaobai preach, Gutuo Temple would indeed beco the territory of the Materialist Sect.
Moreover, they already knew that once the Materialist Iron Fist was practiced, a person’s cultivation level would be utterly lost; this was absolutely unacceptable to them.
Li Xiaobai replied: "Naturally, I wish for you all to join my Divine Sect."
"Then you should know, so people cannot be threatened, especially those with belief in their hearts."
"Belief can be exchanged; the teachings of heaven and earth are all one family, Master is too attached."
Li Xiaobai and five high monks then entered the hall first.
Once the doors were closed, without a word, he summoned [Equivalent Exchange] and [Plunder].
In an instant, he seized Master Gu De’s Law and Visualized Item.
The remaining ones realized, their expressions changing drastically: "No good, this one intends to use force!"
"[Mirror Flower Water Moon]!"
A lotus floated up behind one elder monk, then the environnt inside the grand hall transford, turning into a water domain, without waves.
The White-browed Elder Monk joined his hands: "[Amitabha]!"
A golden Great Buddha stood towering, gazing down at all beings.
If there were bystanders that looked upon this Great Buddha, they would instantly be converted, harboring aspirations toward the Buddhist Sect.
But Li Xiaobai, possessing the System, was unaffected; this thing was useless to him.
"Benefactor, my apologies, you have ambushed Master Gu De; this old monk must suppress you."
Master Bai i’s appearance was solemn with eyes like gold, every word uttered carried profound conversion power, enticing hearts and minds.
"What is the use?"
"This Sect Hierarch now is invincible in the world; the more you resist, the more thrilled I beco!"
Li Xiaobai ignored all Laws, independently starting the equivalent exchange, one by one swapping the old monks’ arms, playing rock-paper-scissors, plundering the Visualized Items.
In the world of [Mirror Flower Water Moon], one by one the Visualized Items vanished, one by one the Laws dissipated.
Until eventually, even the world of [Mirror Flower Water Moon] disappeared, everyone returned to the hall.
Master Bai i’s face was full of shock, looking at Li Xiaobai incredulously.
The other high monks were all pale as well, seeing the vast chasm-like difference.
No matter how they attacked, the opponent didn’t even bother to defend, allowing those attacks to fall upon him without causing any harm.
Moreover, with a re wave of his hand, he took all five of their Visualized Items; they watched helplessly as their Laws, ticulously cultivated over the years, were taken away, unable to do anything.
"You are... Saint God Realm!"
"You are Divine!"
The White-browed Elder Monk spoke with difficulty, his voice was raspy.
Don’t forget, besides a deity, he could not conceive of anything else able to demonstrate such power.
"You say I am, so be it,"
Li Xiaobai replied nonchalantly. In the Saint King Realm, he was in an overwhelming state; saying he was divine was not excessive.
The White-browed Elder Monk suddenly knelt down and prostrated himself, bowing: "This old monk is ignorant, having barged into the Materialism God, this old monk is guilty, ask the Materialism God to punish!"
The four elder monks seeing this, all knelt: "Please ask the Materialism God to punish!"
Although they were in the Saint King Realm, they were not from the Divine Children’s Garden, nor descendants of the Divine Child; they lacked the Divine Bloodline. In the eyes of ordinary people, they seed high and mighty, but they were aware that in the eyes of deity, they were simply ants.
Unable even to et deity face-to-face, in a millennium, only the White-browed Elder Monk’s master, the forr Abbot of Gutuo Temple, was fortunate enough to et the Ancient Buddha once.
At this mont, a real deity was within reach, compelling them to bow.
"Materialism God?"
"You say I am the Materialism God?"
Li Xiaobai’s expression was quite surprised: "I am rely the Sect Hierarch, dare not claim divine status."
Master Bai i looked very serious: "Please rest assured, Materialism God, we will all keep silent regarding this matter, swallow it deep in our stomachs, never to utter a word!"
"This old monk understands that the Materialism God travels the mortal world in ordinary guise for the convenience of spreading teachings. This old monk comprehends, this old monk is willing to cooperate, only to hear great teachings under the deity’s seat!"
Li Xiaobai stroked his chin; this old man had a remarkably vivid imagination, considering him as the Materialism God.
Yet, the Materialism God was precisely the guise he perpetuated; saying he was divine wasn’t too far off.
Interestingly, revealing a deity’s identity softened these hard-headed people up imdiately; had he known, he would have impersonated a deity from the start.
"Hmm, you and I know well. Since you’re willing to cultivate under my seat, practice this Cultivation Technique."
Li Xiaobai tossed out several leaflets as he spoke.
Master Bai i and others took the leaflets, their eyes reflecting hesitation.
Li Xiaobai explained the boxing thod in detail, and upon hearing the rapid cultivation progress and its ability to completely counter prevailing cultivation systems, the old monks imdiately began practicing, abandoning their Buddhist Law in favor of the Materialist Iron Fist.
Their realm had reached a barrier; even with fortuitous events, further advancent seed impossible. Now, with the Materialist Iron Fist, they saw hope within their lifespan.
Having divine assurance, they did not doubt the authenticity of the boxing thod’s power.
After all, a deity would disdain deceit.
Li Xiaobai was quite pleased with this; although everything he said was true, he withheld one detail, that co the end of practicing this boxing thod, the body remained ordinary, needing food, sleep, and prone to old age and death.
Given this group’s age, they probably didn’t have many years left to live, but what did that matter to him? He only sought to develop the Divine Sect and exploit Laws.
The subsequent tasks beca much simpler.
Once the elder monks joined, they actively opened the doors, allowing the populace to co in and practice the Materialist Iron Fist.
If a monk didn’t wish to practice, the White-browed Elder Monk would personally step forward to persuade, elaborating on the benefits.
Practicing a deity’s Cultivation Technique directly in front of the deity is akin to being half a disciple of the divine, an imnse privilege; choosing between the far-off, ethereal Ancient Buddha and the nearby Materialism God, is there even a choice?
Master Gu De gazed at the flourishing scene before him, imnsely moved.
"One man achieves enlightennt; chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Our Gutuo Temple... is finally rising!"
