"Golden Cicada is now nearing the end of his eighth life and will soon enter his ninth. We must make our preparations," Taishang Laojun continued.
Everyone nodded.
As for Golden Cicada, they had no intention of killing him. Golden Cicada had made a Ten-Lifetime Great Vow before the Deva Path. When members of the Buddhist Sect made such great vows, it was not as simple as ordinary people making an oath.
