• Zhenyuanzi declared the founding of the Earth Immortal Lineage and designated Mountain Gods, River Earls, City Gods, and Land Gods as its divine positions.

As the new emperors took office, Randeng Daoist brooded over his repeated exclusion from the Chan Sect and began entertaining audacious thoughts.

• Pingxin approved Qing Ling, Xuandu, Taiyi True Person, Zhao Gongming, and Ksitigarbha as candidates for the Five Directional Ghost Emperor positions.

At Spirit Mountain, Jieyin and Zhunti appointed Duobao, Randeng, Maitreya, and several Bodhisattvas to lead the now-complete Buddhist Gate, before Duobao began to report something to them.

• Tongtian challenged Jieyin and Zhunti with the Immortal Slaying Sword Array after the Three Pure Ones confronted them over their disciples entering Buddhism.

• Duobao Tathagata told Jieyin and Zhunti that the Heavenly Mandate called for a Buddhist disciple to hold a position of honor in the Heavenly Court.

• Jieyin and Zhunti claimed one Five Elders' position for the Buddhist Gate, and Taiqing Laozi claimed one for each of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects before another speaker unexpectedly spoke up.

The Saints selected and established the Five Elders of Heavenly Court, assigning each a direction and element. Just as they prepared to leave, Tai Zhen requested another position, surprising the Saints and East King Duke.
