After some thought, Li Yunjing stood up and left the Chaos Palace, preparing to visit the Three Pure Ones Palace to see his three elders. Nuwa becoming a Saint was a major event, and Li Yunjing also wanted to witness it.
Meanwhile, on the Primordial Desolation continent, a Saint had emerged, and the Heavenly Dao rejoiced. Innumerable innate spiritual energy rained down, nourishing all things. All sentient beings who followed the Dao in the world knelt in reverence, all shouting "Saint!" in unison.
Near Nuwa, auspicious clouds swirled, and auspicious phoenixes appeared. Finally, a five-colored golden phoenix flew towards Nuwa, bowing its head and chirping softly, its melodious calls like congratulations.
"You shall be my mount. I bestow upon you the name Jinning." Nuwa, having already achieved Sainthood, was pleased to see such a spiritual bird willingly come to her. After all, it was a direct descendant of the Phoenix Clan with good origins, and having it as a mount would add to her prestige.
Nuwa, filled with joy at achieving Sainthood, paid no mind to the newly created Human Race. She turned, mounted the colorful phoenix transformed from Jinning, and returned to the Empress Wa's Palace.
This action naturally laid the groundwork for the Human Race to later become estranged from their Saint Mother.
Setting aside Nuwa's return to the thirty-third heaven to prepare to recreate heaven and earth and re-establish the Empress Wa's Palace, the Three Pure Ones could no longer sit still. They prepared to head to the Empress Wa's Palace to meet Nuwa and discuss the path to Sainthood.
"Li Yunjing, you clever boy, come with us! We'll show you what a Primordial Limitless Saint is." The Three Pure Ones had already conjured auspicious clouds and were preparing to depart when Primordial glanced at Li Yunjing. He saw the boy looking pitiful, clearly wanting to accompany them to the Empress Wa's Palace to broaden his horizons.
Seeing this, Primordial chuckled and specifically invited Li Yunjing to serve them and travel together to the Empress Wa's Palace.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother! Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother! Thank you, Master!"
Li Yunjing rejoiced and thanked them loudly. Primordial was truly his good Senior Brother!
When Dao Ancestor Hongjun achieved Sainthood, Li Yunjing was still an ant and naturally had no opportunity to witness it. This time, with Nuwa becoming a Saint, he finally had the chance. The benefits of seeing a Saint were immense. To observe a Saint was to observe the Great Dao, and for Nuwa to preach was an unparalleled opportunity unattainable by countless beings.
"You little rascal!"
Tongtian smiled, flicked his sleeve, and Li Yunjing was already on the auspicious cloud, attending beside the Three Pure Ones as they flew towards the thirty-third heaven.
Nuwa's Sainthood achieved through merit greatly shook the Primordial Desolation. Not only were the Three Pure Ones preparing to check the situation, but other great divine abilities who had listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace also unreservedly flew towards the thirty-third heaven.
At this moment, Nuwa wielded her great magic power, opening heaven and earth, and in the chaos, recreated the universe. The new Empress Wa's Palace, like Zixiao Palace, stood tall in the chaos.
Here, those without great magic power naturally could not reach. Li Yunjing watched the perilous chaos currents, which roared around him like rolling divine thunder, resounding incessantly.
If not for his Master Tongtian casting the Upper Purity Immortal Light to protect him, a single impact from the chaos currents would have instantly annihilated Li Yunjing.
Without the realm of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, walking in chaos was merely a dream. How could he experience firsthand what only Grand Unity Golden Immortals were qualified to experience without undertaking such a journey?
"Jinning, go wait outside the palace. Anyone who arrives, lead them in."
Nuwa knew that various great divine abilities would come to pay their respects and offer congratulations. Although she had achieved Sainthood, it was not appropriate for her to put on airs. After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was above her. Though she had attained the Saintly position, she was still the junior sister of many.
The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti would all achieve Sainthood. Especially the Three Pure Ones, as direct descendants of Pangu and the Orthodox Xuanmen, each possessed supreme treasures. In the future, when they achieved Sainthood, their strength would naturally surpass hers. Nuwa naturally dared not act as a senior and offend them unnecessarily.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, you have taken the lead this time."
Welcomed by Jinning, the Three Pure Ones, bringing Li Yunjing, were the first to arrive at the Empress Wa's Palace. The Three Pure Ones, seeing Nuwa achieve Sainthood, did not prostrate but merely offered a slight bow. They themselves had been appointed Saintly positions by their Master, and Nuwa had merely taken the first step.
"Disciple Li Yunjing pays his respects to Saint Nuwa. May the Saint's lifespan be boundless!"
Li Yunjing, unlike the Three Pure Ones, had to respectfully perform a grand ceremony of salutation.
"Please, honored Senior Brothers, be seated." Nuwa did not mind. Although she had achieved Sainthood, she was still alone and outnumbered by the Three Pure Ones. After speaking, she also allowed Li Yunjing to rise.
The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were seated, remaining silent. Li Yunjing dared not look around and grew bored waiting.
Another hour passed, and the Empress Wa's Palace became lively as great divine abilities from all sides arrived one after another.
"We two pay our respects to Saint Nuwa and congratulate Junior Sister Nuwa on achieving the Saintly position."
Jieyin and Zhunti arrived. They were not particularly concerned with appearances and only sought to gain advantages. With Nuwa's Sainthood, they had come with the intention of forming an alliance.
"Indeed, please have a seat, honored Senior Brothers." Nuwa nodded, feeling somewhat pleased. These two also had the potential to become Saints and were so courteous to her, which was much better than the Three Pure Ones.
Following them, the three from the Demon Race arrived: Fuxi, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Di Jun.
Afterward, all great divine abilities who were not in secluded cultivation, except for the Witch Clan, arrived at the Empress Wa's Palace to congratulate Nuwa on her attainment of the Dao.
"This time, honored Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers have come to my Empress Wa's Palace, presumably to celebrate my Sainthood."
Nuwa then said, "Today, I will preach for a hundred years. I hope all honored Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers can gain some enlightenment, comprehend the Great Dao as soon as possible, and achieve Hunyuan." Having spoken, she no longer restrained her Saintly aura. Her mere presence almost overwhelmed all the Quasi-Saints present. It was no wonder that below Saints, all were but ants.
Li Yunjing, with the weakest cultivation, almost knelt again under the Saintly aura emanating at such close proximity.
Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone, Nuwa felt a sense of pride. After all, the difference between before and after achieving Sainthood was like heaven and earth. Being able to display her power in front of a group of great divine abilities was a very fulfilling experience.
Then, Nuwa gently parted her lips and began to expound on her insights upon achieving the Dao. After a full hundred years, Nuwa stopped speaking, and everyone awoke, having completed the sermon.
"I have finished sharing my insights. Everyone should return to your respective abodes."
"Your Majesty, we have something to say." Di Jun stepped forward, intending to speak with Nuwa.
"I know what you all wish for. You will have your opportunities in the future. If the Demon Race has matters, I will not stand idly by." Nuwa said this and stood up, intending to see them off.
Although Di Jun and the other two were not entirely satisfied, the Demon Race now had a Saint as a backer, which essentially achieved their goal. Seeing Nuwa leave, the various great divine abilities rose and took their leave.
During these hundred years, Li Yunjing also gained immensely. Although the words of a Saint were not immediately applicable, he firmly kept them in his heart. In the future, when he advanced to the realm of a Quasi-Saint, he would then be able to use Nuwa's path to Sainthood to summarize a path suitable for himself.
