In the Grand Monarch Central Palace, located upon the sixth layer of the Extreme Imperial Mountain, there was a gathering of the highest rank figures within the Myriad Monarch Sect. While there were a few key individuals missing, such as Tuo Bihan and Yao Zhen, the other three Grand Imperial Sages were present.
These three figures were each located on one of the five thrones beneath a larger, grander throne. These thrones weren't present during the Recognition Ceremony, but they signified their position within the sect: Above All, Below One.
These thrones were all differently colored, with the one Qin Rui sat on being white, while Ji Changkong was red and Zen was golden. At the top of each throne was the name of their respective mountains etched in gorgeous characters. They each sat calmly on the throne, overlooking the lower platform with various expressions.
