Besides Daochen, the Three Pure Ones, and Nüwa, who had already proven their Dao and become Sages, watching Jieyin and Zhunti attain Sagehood...
Many other mighty figures in the Primordial World were also watching the scene unfold.
Quite a few were even helping Jieyin and Zhunti count just how many grand vows they had made.
Yet the more they counted, the higher the number climbed, until even they themselves were alarmed.
Jieyin and Zhunti were far too bold.
With so many grand vows made, what would they do if they could not repay them in the end?
If these mighty figures could think of that, could Jieyin and Zhunti really have failed to consider it?
But they had no choice either.
They had no foundation to draw on, no reserves to fall back on!
The two fellow disciples had been driven into a corner. Only then, spurred on by the Three Pure Ones, had they made those grand vows.

The sight of the half-built palace made the newly arrived Nüwa's eyelids twitch.
She felt as though she had fallen into another pit Daochen had dug for her.
"Fellow Daoist, did you foresee long ago that Jieyin and Zhunti of the Western Land would make grand vows and borrow merit from the Heavenly Dao to prove their Dao and become Sages?"
Nüwa slowly stepped out of the void.
"Fellow Daoist Wa Emperor, what are you saying? You and I are both Sages. If even you didn't know, how could I possibly have known?"
Daochen spoke airily.
His words left Nüwa momentarily stunned.
That's right!
