Although he had corrupted the entire Buddhist world with demonic energy, Chen Xuan did not intend to bring these followers to the All-Saints Assembly. Instead, he had Mo He lead these cultivators—who possessed both Buddhist hearts and demonic bodies—to guard the various realms of the Seventh Epoch. This allowed Chen Xuan to leave with greater peace of mind.
After returning to the Heavenly Martial Realm and deliberating, Chen Xuan decided that his companions should stay behind. The cultivation level of a beginner Saint was no longer sufficient for the Ancient Star Domain. However, some of his companions possessed strength far beyond the beginner Saint level; for example, Feng Yue’s role in the great war was comparable to that of a Saint King. But because Feng Yue was so vital, she was even more obligated to stay behind; should the Buried Immortals invade, her presence could increase the combat power of their forces several times over. Additionally, Chen Xuan had Yin Zhonghua stay behind so that they would not have to rely solely on Gu Chenxiao to contend with the top-tier powerhouses among the Buried Immortals.
Ultimately, those who set off for the All-Saints Assembly were Chen Xuan, Qiye, Yuan Wufeng, and various members of Star Luo.
