Lu Xuan listened quietly, a thoughtful expression on his face. He had understood the gist of it.
Houtu attained Enlightenment through Reincarnation, Bodhi through a Grand Aspiration, and Amitabha Buddha through the Western Pure Land.
All of these could be severed. If they were, these beings would be just like the Celestial Emperor who lost the Celestial Court, falling from a perfect Dao Fruit to half a Dao Fruit!
In fact, it seemed his three masters could also be dragged down this way, transforming from Enlightened Ones into Ancient Ones who possessed only half a Dao Fruit.
It's just that no living being could accomplish it.
For example, for his second master to fall and become an Ancient One, one would need to erase concepts like the very Creation of Heaven and Earth, Cause and Effect, and the Source itself.
But if one actually did that, all of creation would cease to exist!
