The Primordial Heart Devil was the origin of all living beings' devils.
As such, as long as the living beings remained, the Heart Devil wouldn't die.
As long as sentient beings existed in this world, a Heart Devil could be birthed. Even if the Primordial Heart Devil perished, it could still be reborn.
Theoretically speaking, no matter who or how high their cultivation was, as long as a Heart Devil was birthed within their heart, the Primordial Heart Devil of the Nine Underworlds' Six Supreme Devils would be able to sense it.
The stronger the devilish intent, the more convenient it would be for the Primordial Heart Devil to descend.
Of course, this was only the most ideal situation in theory.
In reality, due to the interference of other bigwig experts, the Primordial Heart Devil couldn't be that domineering.
In the past, Traveling Monk Sun's inner devil manifested and transformed into the Six-Eared Macaque, which involved many parties.
For bigwig experts like Traveling Monk Sun or even Nezha, even if a Heart Devil birthed within their heart, they or their peers would be able to conceal it, preventing the Primordial Heart Devil from doing anything. Most of the time, it would be hard for the Primordial Heart Devil to notice it.
However, if the obsession transformed into a devilish intent that was strong enough to cause one to fall, it would be impossible to hide it from the Primordial Heart Devil.
Yan Zhaoge had interacted with the Primordial Heart Devil more than once or twice. He knew that this old devil was hiding his strength. Otherwise, the orthodox Daoism wouldn't have suffered such a loss due to the Devil of Aged Metal.
However, that was only under the cover of the Water Devil and the Earth Devil's incident. It was a feint to divert the enemy's attention.
As for Nezha or the other Daoism bigwigs, the Nine Underworlds' Devilish Dao didn't reveal any information.
Although the Three Altars Sea Deity didn't seem to be in a bad state, he didn't seem like a fallen devil.
Yan Zhaoge felt that it wasn't impossible for the Taiyi Cultivated Deity to mention Nezha's Treasured Lotus Celestial Body not falling to the Devilish Dao.
According to the rumors regarding Nezha, the Treasured Lotus Celestial Body's most prominent defensive trait was its immunity against various evil arts.
To a certain extent, avoiding the invasion of the Demonic Dao could also be considered a wondrous inheritance.
"However, it was precisely because of this that my disciple underwent other transformations." The Taiyi Cultivated Deity smiled bitterly and said, "As the saying goes, it's better to let it go. My disciple's Treasured Lotus Celestial Body isn't something innate …"
Yan Zhaoge nodded in understanding, "This means that there's a formless gap.
"Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, and fortune lurks in misfortune." He looked down at the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield thoughtfully and said, "The Gods of the Three Altars of the Sea Meeting have long reached the Realm of Zenith Heaven, so it is not difficult for them to control their own minds. However, the Lotus Fairy Body is neither righteous nor evil. After being contaminated by evil thoughts, it turned into an evil body and affected the Gods of the Three Altars of the Sea Meeting."
Because of the Lotus Immortal Body, Nezha gained a lot of benefits.
But now, it was precisely because of this reason that he had to suffer such a calamity.
Perfected Taiyi sighed. "It's also because I had a narrow escape from death that I had to reforge my soul again and return to Yang from the realm of death. At that moment, my thoughts were the purest. Once I made a mistake, it would be difficult to return."
Nezha was reborn and did not fall into the Devil's Path. His pure and blazing murderous intent did not turn into Devil's Will and did not dissipate. Just like that, he became an existence like a God of Slaughter.
Rather than saying that he was still a Daoism Grand Heavenly Realm, it was more appropriate to say that he had transformed into a bloodthirsty and violent Lotus Great Demon because of the Lotus Immortal Body.
Moreover, he was even more ferocious and violent than the Golden-Winged Roc, the Nine-headed Bug, and the other demons.
He was not as evil as the violent demons in the Nine Underworlds, but his killing intent was purer. It was like the Sword King Buddha's Six Paths of Reincarnation had transformed into the Hell Dao.
And his strength was much stronger than the Sword King Buddha's.
During the process of treating him, Perfected Taiyi vaguely felt that something was amiss.
He could not bear to see his disciple lose his life. He was careful and tried his best to solve the problem of Nezha. However, he did not succeed in the end.
Nezha woke up. After being confused at first, he regained his senses like a God of Slaughter.
Perfected Taiyi, who was in front of him, was the first person to suffer.
Perfected Taiyi had no choice but to use a backup method to seal Nezha there.
He was Nezha's master. Previously, he had treated Nezha, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Under the condition that he was prepared, he used the layers of arrangements to form a huge seal. He did not give Nezha a chance to unleash his strength and suppressed Nezha in the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier.
However, the Great God of the Three Altars was ferocious after all. He surpassed his master and was stronger than his master, Perfected Taiyi.
It was difficult for Perfected Taiyi to suppress him.
Previously, he helped Ying Longtu get rid of Mu Zha and the others. After being distracted, he could not continue suppressing Nezha.
Thanks to Yan Zhaoge's arrival, the seal was temporarily stabilized.
"However, even so, isn't it a little too exaggerated to be tainted by a Grand Heavenly Immortal's malevolent intent?" Yan Zhaoge looked at the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier and muttered, "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have imagined it."
After a person died, an ordinary soul might turn into a malicious spirit due to the malevolent intent.
However, the Great God of the Three Altars was not ordinary at all.
According to the legends, this bigwig's temperament had always been unstable. He always maintained his youthful spirit and arrogance.
No matter what, he was a famous Daoism expert during the Ancient era. When he entered the Middle era, he even ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Yan Zhaoge found it hard to believe that he could become like this without any external forces.
"During the Great Calamity, he almost died in battle. It's normal for the Three Altars to be filled with resentment. However, it's actually this intense?" Yan Zhaoge looked at Perfected Taiyi with a puzzled expression.
Perfected Taiyi remained silent. Then, he glanced at Mu Zha.
Mu Zha remained silent. His originally complicated expression slowly calmed down.
"Ugh …" Yan Zhaoge's gaze froze upon seeing this.
He had never been afraid of making assumptions about others. Now, some bad guesses started forming in his heart.
"From what I know, during the Great Calamity, even the Buddhist Traveling Monk Hui An didn't participate in making things difficult for my Daoism's successors. The Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the Bodhisattva Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't do anything either?" said Yan Zhaoge slowly.
Mu Zha remained silent. Perfected Taiyi nodded, "Samantabhadra and the Bodhisattva didn't participate in it."
Yan Zhaoge continued, "I heard that not only Traveling Monk Hui An, but even Heavenly King Li had entered the Western Pure Lands."
The so-called Heavenly King Li was naturally the Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King – Li Jing.
He was Mu Zha and Nezha's father. After the Ancient era, he had entered the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace along with Nezha.
"Although Heavenly King Li is a member of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, as a disciple of the ancient Dipankara Buddha, it's not surprising for him to make such a choice. However …"
Yan Zhaoge's gaze shifted between Perfected Taiyi and Mu Zha with a strange expression, "During the Great Calamity, Heavenly King Li wouldn't go against us, right?"
