Maitreya Buddha nodded as well. "I think we can still hold out for a month."
The Three Pure Ones were both slightly stunned by their words.
"Tathagata Buddha, our prediction of the future just now relied on the Chaos Star Disk. The Chaos Star Disk is a heavenly artifact, and Xuanzang is no ordinary man. The month we spoke of is neither a month in the mortal world nor a month in Heaven. The Chaos Star Disk showed one month, but by mortal calculations, three days equal one mortal year. In other words, it will take ten years," Taishang Laojun said to Tathagata Buddha.
Tathagata Buddha and Maitreya Buddha were both taken aback upon hearing this, astonishment filling their hearts.
That was far too long. Many upheavals would surely occur over ten years. Perhaps other events would happen before ten years had even passed, giving Xuanzang and the others a chance to escape.
Given the situation at Lotus Cave on Flat-Top Mountain, it was impossible for Kinkaku and Ginkaku to imprison Xuanzang for ten years. It would already be impressive if they could hold him for one year.
"Then does that mean we have to find gold, silver, copper, iron, and zinc this time, and then deal with Xuanzang?" Tathagata Buddha asked.
This was too difficult. They had finally found such a good opportunity, one in which Uchiha Shin could not intervene, yet killing Xuanzang was still so hard.
Taishang Laojun sat there without speaking. He felt utterly helpless about the matter as well. Why did Heaven always seem to work against him?
With a soft sigh, Taishang Laojun rose and walked outside Jade Purity Hall, looking up at the sky.
He pondered a solution. He felt there was little chance of gathering gold, silver, copper, iron, and zinc now,
