Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 929 - 927: The Buddhist Realm is Originally a Pure Land, Yet No One Severs the Ties of the Mundane World! [Fourth Update]

"My dictionary does not contain the word 'impossible'!"

Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, his face brimming with a powerful confidence that made it impossible for anyone to harbor any doubts.

This made the Monk Jie Se beside him shake with shock, and a spark of hope ignited in his heart, which had been in despair. He was deeply influenced, even confident about personally handling Charm Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Little Lin tugged on the two ox horn-like protrusions on his green cap and said with a giggle, "Jie Se, I should congratulate you, my lord. Since the boss has spoken, there's hope for White Tiger Temple to have its revenge!"

Thump!

Monk Jie Se knelt heavily on the ground and said solemnly, "Lord Xiao, if you truly can help White Tiger Temple avenge this deep-blooded enmity, my White Tiger Temple is willing to acknowledge you as our leader and follow your command!"

"These are matters for later, you first tell me, how many people does White Tiger Temple have left? What is the strength of your strong ones?" Xiao Yi asked.

Monk Jie Se did not hesitate to reveal everything: "White Tiger Temple originally had 103,000 monks when we were expelled. But over the years, some have fled, and some have died... we now have 26,315 remaining. This includes sixty-nine Human Venerate Realm protectors, three Earth Venerate Realm elders, and one Heavenly Venerate Realm abbot—myself..."

Hiss!

Even though Xiao Yi knew that the Western Province was far stronger than the Southern State, he couldn't help being taken aback by Monk Jie Se's words.

A White Tiger Temple that was expelled still possessed so many strong ones?

One must know...

Even the current Great Qian Dynasty only has that many from the Longevity Secret Realm!

As for those above the Earth Venerate Realm.

Including myself, Little Lin, and Bai Fa Sword Emperor, there are only three.

Little Lin was also extremely shocked: "Oh my goodness, is the power of the Western State Buddhist Sect this formidable?"

Monk Jie Se said with a wry smile, "At its peak, White Tiger Temple alone had five Heavenly Venerable level powerhouses, and even had a Supreme Venerable Realm super powerhouse. However, our White Tiger Temple's Supreme Venerable was murdered in the struggle with the Celestial Dragon Supreme for the Buddha Position on Spirit Mountain, which is the fundamental reason for the decline of White Tiger Temple..."

Xiao Yi nodded, he had also learned from Nantian Wen and others that the struggle for the Buddha Position on Holy Spirit Mountain among the Buddhist sects was extremely fierce and brutal.

Moreover.

The benefits of the Buddha Position were enormous.

Between two Heavenly Venerable Boundary powerhouses, the difference between having and not having the Buddha Position was like heaven and earth.

This was not just a gap in status but a disparity in power as well.

Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Yi mused, "If there's a chance, it's worth seeing if one can vie for a Buddha Position!"

Of course.

This thought was merely a fleeting one.

Xiao Yi spoke in a deep voice, "Jie Se, immediately gather the monks of White Tiger Temple. We will head to the Western Province together."

"I will summon the monks right away!" said Monk Jie Se, nodding vigorously.

After a hundred years of being destitute and drifting, the resentment towards Celestial Dragon Temple had accumulated to a terrifying degree within White Tiger Temple. As long as he gave the word, telling the monks of White Tiger Temple that there was an opportunity for vengeance,

I believe that everyone in White Tiger Temple would give their utmost support.

Furthermore...

Given Xiao Yi's formidable strength, what would the opposition matter?

With a single motion, he could suppress any dissent!

Luckily for him, Monk Jie Se held enough authority within White Tiger Temple, and when he was told Xiao Yi would lead them back to Western Province and promised to help them deal with Celestial Dragon Temple.

The monks from White Tiger Temple, one and all, chose to submit.

The group set off majestically toward the Western Province.

...

Western Province.

The territory was more than ten times larger than Southern State, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Western Province was also far greater than that of Southern State.

In the northeast of the Western Province, Mount Shaoshi, where Shaolin Temple is located.

Mount Shaoshi is a complete indestructible diamond, unyielding and impervious to fire and blades, such that even the most powerful beings of the Nirvana Realm find it difficult to destroy.

In general.

Even the appearance of indestructible diamonds weighing hundreds of pounds would provoke the covetous glances and schemes of the strong from Longevity Secret Realm.

Yet the Shaolin Temple rests upon such a diamond, an intact mass extending hundreds of kilometers. For many years, Shaolin Temple has managed to keep this treasure from being seized by others.

The reason for this is none other than the backing of four Buddhist supremes from Shaolin!

One should know...

Merely because Celestial Dragon Temple is supported by the Celestial Dragon Supreme, it is considered one of the four great Buddhist Nations.

Shaolin has four!

One can well imagine the depth of Shaolin Temple's foundations.

And for this reason.

No one has ever dared to provoke Shaolin Temple.

But today...

Shaolin Temple has received an unexpected visitor.

Before the colossal temple gate.

Two young monks looked at Xiao Yi in front of them, utterly baffled, and incredulously asked: "B-benefactor, what did you just say? You want to challenge everyone in Shaolin Temple by yourself?"

The young monks thought they were either hallucinating or that Xiao Yi in front of them had gone mad.

This is one of the four great Buddhist Nations, Shaolin Temple, backed by four Buddhist supremes!

You want to challenge all of Shaolin Temple alone?

Isn't this seeking death?

Xiao Yi nodded calmly and said: "You heard right, I, alone, challenge Shaolin Temple!"

While speaking.

Xiao Yi snapped his fingers and a big flag unfurled behind him, thudding as it was planted before the Shaolin Temple gate. Flapping in the wind atop the flagpole was a white banner making a snapping sound.

On the banner was boldly written: "The Buddhist gate is meant to be pure, yet none can sever worldly ties!"

The two young monks watched the snapping white banner, their expressions changing continuously.

Entering the gate of Buddhism is like diving into the deep sea, from then on, the mundane world is but a path for others.

All monks entering the path of Buddhism claim to sever mundane ties and enter the sacred void.

And Xiao Yi proclaimed: "The Buddhist gate is meant to be pure!"

Yet none can sever worldly ties!

This was a blatant mockery and provocation towards everyone in Shaolin Temple, implying that no one was truly able to cut off worldly desires and enter the sacred void. For any monk in any temple, this was a naked taunt and challenge.

"Wu Qing, keep an eye on this man. I will go immediately to inform the protector..." said one of the young monks.

"Hurry back!"

Wu Qing nodded and stared intently at Xiao Yi, his voice grave, "Benefactor, you have made a grave mistake, if you leave now you might save your life. But once the protector arrives, it will be difficult for you to escape..."

Xiao Yi looked at the young monk and smiled, saying, "Little monk, you have a kind heart. But, having come here, it's not so easy for me to leave!"

"Benefactor you..."

Wu Qing opened his mouth, but in the end he sighed, "So be it, since the benefactor insists, I will say no more."

Xiao Yi closed his eyes and remained silent.

Only moments later...

A fearsome aura came racing out from within the gates of Shaolin Temple.

Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile curling on his lips: "They've finally arrived!"
