The Daoist Equal to Heaven left his Enlightened Dao Body to rest and recuperate in Flower-Fruit Mountain so that it could quickly return to its peak state. Meanwhile, he himself planned to make a name in the world before pledging loyalty to a lord in order to be entrusted with important duties.
Having acquired the physical body of Wuzhiqi and created an Enlightened Dao Body, the only task left was to slay the Six-Eared Macaque. However, the whereabouts of the macaque were unknown; whether it had been born yet or was already under Tathagata's control was also a mystery.
