• Hongjun gave Receiver and Cundi Primordial Purple Qi and ordered them to offer Kunpeng sainthood in exchange for joining the Buddhist Sect.

Hongjun sealed the Earth Dao to trap Houtu, but Taiqing arrived and revealed that Ksitigarbha was working with him, allowing Houtu to reclaim the Earth Dao and confront Hongjun. Ksitigarbha then renounced the Buddhist Sect and declared that he would become a Saint of the Underworld, prompting Receiver and Cundi to return in fury.
