• Fuxi told Nuwa that the six cushions were seats for Heavenly Dao Sages, and she realized she might have missed her chance without his warning.
• Two western Daoists arrived too late to claim seats, and the pale-yellow-robed Daoist lamented their failure to his senior brother.

• Fuxi sat beside Hongjun and withstood the Sage's pressure without showing any strain, surprising Hongjun and the assembled cultivators.

• Laozi asked Hongjun what the Dao was and how one could become a Sage, prompting Hongjun to describe three paths to Hunyuan.
• Hongjun explained that the first path required surpassing the Heavenly Dao in magical power and mastery, while the second involved severing the Three Corpses using innate objects to house the primordial spirit.

• Nuwa firmly rejected Hongjun’s offer a second time, astonishing the immortals gathered in the hall.

• Hongjun granted Primordial Violet Qi to Hong Yun and Di Jun, leaving Kunpeng seething over Hong Yun’s earlier surrender of his seat.
