Upon seeing this, everyone sat cross-legged on the cloud.
Just then, Zhunti suddenly spoke up: "This great prosperity in the West should naturally be led by our Buddhist sect."
"Therefore, among all five people who went to the West, Buddhism should occupy two spots."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Nuwa retorted without backing down, "You all know perfectly well that the human race is now in power, and I am not only the Holy Mother of the human race, but also a member of the demon race."
"Therefore, I should also have two spots."
Faced with the debate between Zhunti and Nuwa, Yuanshi, Yuantong, and Laozi all chose to remain silent.

"And the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and my Penglai will each occupy one spot."
Yuan Zhexian finished speaking in one breath, then glanced at Zhunti and said.
