Xu Xinnian felt a surge of excitement.

But he didn't let his guard down. He slowly walked to the door and gently pushed it open.

With a creak, the door slowly opened...

A powerful suction force, like a vacuum cleaner, sucked Xu Xinnian in.

Xu Xinnian felt as if a blur had appeared before his eyes.

Then we arrived at a huge hall.

The hall was surrounded by Buddha statues, each radiating a soft light.

In the very center of the hall.

Seated serenely is a colossal Buddha statue radiating divine light—the Future Buddha, one of the three great ancient Buddhas of Zen Buddhism!

All Buddha statues are respectfully facing the central position of the future Buddha.

The scene was truly magnificent, like ten thousand Buddhas paying homage!

Xu Xinnian had just entered the hall.

Then I felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression coming towards me, it was terrifying!

He looked up...

He had a fat head and big ears, topped with a shiny bald head.

With a huge belly from being ten months pregnant, she looked like a nouveau riche future Buddha.

A pair of vast, smoky golden eyes stared at him seemingly out of the blue, a strange smile playing on their lips.

"Since we can see the future, why not worship it!"

A deep and authoritative voice resounded in the hall!

Xu Xinnian was startled!

He knew that this was the future Buddha giving him a challenge.

His mind raced with countless thoughts, like a movie playing in his head.

This is a crucial moment.

The slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin!

But he couldn't help but think to himself, "This opening line is so cliché, can't they come up with something fresh?"

Xu Xinnian slowly knelt down...

But in my heart, I was filled with doubt and vigilance!

"Why is this future Buddha suddenly asking me this question? There's definitely something fishy going on."

He bowed respectfully on the surface, but his eyes were secretly observing the surroundings. "Maybe this grandson is hiding someone waiting to test me. I can't let him down."

Just then.

The atmosphere inside the vast Mahavira Hall became eerie.

The Buddha statues, which had originally radiated a soft glow, gradually dimmed...

However, the light emanating from the future Buddha grew stronger and stronger.

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Xu Xinnian's heart!

He sensed a vast and powerful force rapidly approaching him—

Click click click!

Suddenly, the enormous golden body of the Future Buddha, as large as a mountain peak, began to move, emitting a series of extremely harsh and unpleasant metallic scraping sounds!

He slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards Xu Xinnian with a thud.

Xu Xinnian's heart was racing!

At that moment.

His heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with the steps of the future Buddha.

He tried to run, but found that his body was frozen in place, as if by a spell.

At this moment, I am completely unable to move!

"Damn it, I was careless! I should have brought a flashbang!"

The Future Buddha slowly walked up to Xu Xinnian, looking down at him with an eerie smile on his face.

"It's good that you have doubts and are wary."

"But do you know that this lineage of Buddha is not something that can be obtained so easily?"

That's all.

The future Buddha stretched out a hand and gently waved it.

Suddenly, a dreamlike scene appeared before Xu Xinnian's eyes.

In this scene, he saw his future.

He saw himself become an unparalleled powerhouse, standing at the pinnacle of this world.

But at the same time, he also saw countless enemies attacking him, and he was caught in a fierce battle.

........

"This is your future. Are you willing to accept it?"

The voice of the future Buddha rang out once more.

Xu Xinnian struggled internally. He knew that although the legacy of the Future Buddha was powerful...

But it also comes with huge risks.

If one accepts the inheritance, it means that he will embark on a thorny path.

Xu Xinnian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Damn it, can't I at least look at the instruction manual first?!"

"This is too risky, I'm afraid I can't handle it!"

Criticism is criticism.

After hesitating for a moment,

Xu Xinnian slowly knelt down, tilted his head slightly, and met the gaze of the Future Buddha.

“Buddha, I am fortunate to have seen your face, but I have many doubts in my heart. I hope that you can answer my questions.”

The mysterious smile on the Future Buddha's face deepened, and he slowly spoke: "Oh? You little fellow, you're quite the shrewd one."

"Tell me, what is it that you have doubts about?"

Xu Xinnian paused for a moment, then gathered his thoughts.

“Buddha, I have gone through many hardships to get here, thinking I was looking for an opportunity.”

"But the current situation is a bit hard for me to understand."

"Why should the legacy of our predecessors be handed over to me so easily? I am but a cultivator of mediocre talent, what merit do I possess?"

The Future Buddha laughed loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the hall!

"Haha, because you have distracting thoughts, desires, and your own firm beliefs about what you should and shouldn't do."

"Of course, the most important thing is that you are steady and cautious!"

"Knowing when to advance and retreat, knowing when to let go, not easily putting yourself in dangerous situations, being good at working behind the scenes, and not easily inviting karma, you are the most suitable candidate to inherit this Buddha's teachings."

"Most practitioners in this world pursue transcendence but forget their original intentions."

"And you, you have walked this path cautiously, barely surviving, yet you have never given up on your dreams. That is true character."
