Tathagata received an answer from Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin, left Chaos, and returned to the Three Realms. Upon returning, he did not immediately head to Mount Wanshou's Five Elements Temple.
He first returned to Spirit Mountain.
He gathered the Buddhist Sect's experts before continuing on to Mount Wanshou's Five Elements Temple.
Not even the saints could calculate the whereabouts of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree was truly lost for good.
Tathagata knew full well how important the Ginseng Fruit Tree was to Zhenyuanzi. This trip to Mount Wanshou's Five Elements Temple was destined to end in an unavoidable battle.
Since they were going to fight,
the Buddhist Sect had to ensure victory.
To prevent any unforeseen complications,
Tathagata summoned all the Buddhist Sect's quasi-saint experts. With so many quasi-saints, so what if Mount Wanshou's Five Elements Temple was Zhenyuanzi's territory? Two fists could not beat four hands.
Zhenyuanzi was alone, while the Buddhist Sect had so many people. Suppressing Zhenyuanzi would be ridiculously easy.
Tathagata stored these Buddhist Sect experts within his palm world before heading to Mount Wanshou's Five Elements Temple.
He feared that, upon seeing so many from the Buddhist Sect arrive, Zhenyuanzi would not dare open the formation around Mount Wanshou's Five Elements Temple. Moreover, Tang Xuanzang and his companions were in Zhenyuanzi's hands.
Zhenyuanzi was a smart man.
The moment he sensed that something was wrong,

Tathagata returned to Five Elements Temple.
Zhenyuanzi promptly asked, "How did it go, Tathagata?"
The Ginseng Fruit Tree was equivalent
