To live forever without dying was to roam free beyond worldly things, already sharing the lifespan of heaven and earth.
Such a being's Divine Abilities and magical power could no longer be measured by common sense. They could perform all manner of inconceivable feats, turning decay into miracles!
A "sage among demons" such as the Chongyu Demon God possessed the strengths of both Buddhism and demonkind.
Even across the Myriad Heavenly Firmament Universe, he was a renowned personage, a venerable being who had truly attained the Dao!
Although the Pure and Still Buddha Lord and the three Music-Master Ladies had taken advantage of his grievous injuries to strike the Chongyu Demon God down to Dust Head, they had lacked the ability to truly kill him and extinguish his vitality completely.
Given time.
A trace of hidden spiritual awareness would eventually grow again within the Chongyu Demon God's Undying Dao Fruit.
And then.
The time would come for the Chongyu Demon God to return to the Myriad Heavenly Firmament Universe!
This could not be prevented. Even a Great Virtue of the Śrāmaṇa such as the Pure and Still Buddha Lord was powerless.
But before making his move, the Pure and Still Buddha Lord, the Chongyu Demon God's old adversary, had already known this. With Daoist Kongkong's covert guidance, he had also devised a plan.
Afterward, he had taught it to the Crown Prince Suiyu, leaving the crown prince to carry it out himself.
The plan was for the Pure and Still Buddha Lord to use his supreme Divine Ability to divide the Chongyu Demon God's Dao Fruit into ten portions, then find suitable people whose bodies could serve as shrines to seal away those ten portions.
By confounding the Dao Fruit, this method would delay the Chongyu Demon God's return.
