Although the process and outcome of the conflict were deliberately downplayed by the official stance of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, it was evident from the Alliance's subsequent actions following the battle.
All the recently issued instructions for the offensive were urgently revoked; the states were given orders to fortify their defenses to protect against potential infiltrations from the Five Elders' Monks.

The front lines sent ever-increasing summons to the states.
"New instructions every morning and evening, what a mess!"
Practically overnight, the war policy underwent a drastic 180-degree shift, leading to heartfelt complaints from the cultivators in the Immortal Alliance.
