The Western Teachings, Mount Sumeru.
After seeing Emperor Venerate attain Sagehood, Jieyin and Zhunti looked terribly grim.
"Damn it!"
"Th-this Emperor Venerate actually attained Sagehood too?"
"And he's a Primordial Unity Saint, one who doesn't rely on the Heavenly Dao."

"It's actually Emperor Venerate!"
"He really attained Sagehood."
"Where did he get... the Primordial Violet Qi?"
Nuwa was puzzled. The Primordial
