Chapter 4639 The Fate

Austin stood in the entrance of the temple and looked around. To his surprise, it was tiny, occupying an area of only ten square meters.

Right in the center, there was a Buddhist altar. On top of it was an amiable statue of an ancient Buddha.

In front of the altar, there was an old, crooked altar table.

A meticulously-sculpted wooden fish sat motionlessly on the altar.

Besides, in a corner in the yard of the temple, there was a dried log leaning against the wall. Everything related to the temple was serene.

Austin couldn't spot anything else worth noting.

Feeling slightly confused and surprised, Austin furrowed his eyebrows so that they created dark shadows over his eyes.

The interior of the temple was desolate and dilapidated. It didn't look important.

"Sir, does the state of this place surprise you?"

the middle-aged monk asked with a smile while he observed Austin.

"Not really.

According to Buddhism, everything will eventually become nothing. If a Buddhist wants to cultivate, they can't have too many distractions in their way,"

Austin said calmly, wiping the expression off his face.

"Sir, have you cultivated Buddhism before?"

the middle-aged monk asked curiously, stunned to hear that Austin was so knowledgeable on the subject.

When he didn't receive an immediate answer, he quickly added, "It's a pity that you didn't choose the same path as us."

The monk glanced at Austin with an all-knowing loo

he watched their reaction. Then, he proceeded to take the three of them to the hillside of the divine mountain and they entered the ancient temple.

"It's true! It is the Crystal Buddha Body!"

the middle-aged monk yelled the moment that he laid his eyes on them. He was overcome with pleasure at meeting Sue and Ivy in person.

"It is our pleasure to meet you, sir!"

Ivy and Sue exchanged looks with each other and then smiled back at the monk. The excitement of walking into the temple had washed over them, and upon seeing the monk, a sense of familiarity also hit them.

From the sight of him alone, the two of them could tell that the middle-aged monk had a vast and profound Buddhism cultivation.

He must be a skilled senior master of Buddhism.

"Well, very good. Very good.

Now that the inheritance of the real Buddhism has been lost, it's rare for people to cultivate the Buddhism to this level. You two should be proud.

Even without the Crystal Buddha Bodies you two have, your talent is impressive.

Well, sir, if you trust me, let the two of them stay here with me for a period of time.

I want to test whether they are destined to be the true successors of Buddhism,"

the middle-aged monk asked Austin, looking at him earnestly.

"Of course they may stay with you,"

Austin said instantly.

He knew that this was a precious opportunity for both Ivy and Sue and he would be doing them a disservice to take them away.
