Only the gates of Hell had been suppressed. But suppressing the gates of Hell was insufficient, for the evil corpse incarnation remained!
In the end, the abbot of the Ancient Buddha Temple stepped forward and waged a great battle with this evil corpse incarnation. The abbot of the Ancient Buddha Temple was actually a living Buddha who remained in the human world. He cultivated among humanity and exorcised demons on their behalf. And this abbot was the old monk before us.
Although the old monk was a living Buddha on earth, regrettably, the evil corpse incarnation of the Great Freedom Demon King from the ninth heaven proved too powerful. Even he was no match for it. Ultimately, the living Buddha summoned the power of reincarnation. All of the Buddhist doctrines from his past seven lives descended upon him, fortifying his flesh. Then, he used a grand formation to suppress the evil corpse incarnation within the scripture vault.
