Seeing that Zhenyuanzi would not wake up anytime soon, Nuwa and Daoist Qingling began discussing the Dao of Creation. As Daoist Qingling expounded upon the Dao of Creation, Nuwa grew even more certain that his attainment in this realm had surpassed her own.
This realization secretly startled Nuwa. The Dao of Creation was the very key to her attainment of sainthood; discovering that someone had surpassed her in her own field of expertise left her feeling both shocked and filled with a mixture of helplessness and admiration.
For a fleeting moment, Nuwa was even glad she had created humans and attained sainthood first. Otherwise, given Daoist Qingling's current mastery of creation, it was hard to say who might have created humanity instead. In truth, she was worrying needlessly; Daoist Qingling had never harbored any thoughts of creating humans to achieve sainthood.
