After Tongtian and Gungun settled the matter of sending Jiejiao disciples to heaven, Tongtian soon left.
After all, this bear had made it clear that he would not hand over the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus. Besides, it was true: the Dragon-Headed Walking Stick could barely anchor the fortune of the Penglai Immortal Court, so how could it anchor the Heavenly Court's fortune?
Even adding the Peach Tree would do no good. The Heavenly Court truly could not do without the World-Cleansing White Lotus. Tongtian had only come to give it a try because he had run out of options.

The Haotian Mirror, the Haotian Sword, the Haotian Pagoda, and the Plain-Colored Cloud-Realm Banner-he had only found them wanting earlier because he was comparing them with the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus.
