The top eight holes are immortals, the middle eight holes are secular immortals, and the bottom eight holes are ghost immortals. The immortal of Shangbadong, also known as "Jin Xian", is the highest-ranking immortal in Taoism. Heaven, earth, ghost and three immortals are three levels of heaven, and these eight immortals are famous class representatives among Taoist immortals. Every 3,000 years, these eight immortals will be invited to attend a flat peach party held in heaven. Penglai Xiandao is their gathering place.
