Holy Infant Child had never been an enemy or match for the Heavenly Demon Palace Lord. Likewise, he was no match for Meng Zhao, Zhu Shisan, or Monk Huikong.
As a transcendent Celestial being, Holy Infant Child remained untouched by worldly matters. He could be said to be someone all the Celestials wished to win over.
