Chapter 41, Duobao Points the Way
Duobao stood up straight, his broad body erect, his expression serious and earnest, filled with great self-confidence. He began to speak, "Eldest Uncle, after careful consideration of the process through which Nuwa became sanctified, Nuwa attained sagehood when she comprehended the Creation Dao, creating a race that was recognized by Heaven and Earth.
Disciple is thinking, Eldest Uncle, if you refine an unprecedented kind of elixir, could it also be recognized by Heaven and Earth, allowing you to instantly attain sagehood? This elixir would be called the Saint Pill."
The smile disappeared from Taishang’s face as he murmured, "Saint Pill, Saint Pill..."
Regarding becoming a sage, Taishang, Primordial, and Tongtian had always been exploring the path toward the great Dao, never considering a methodological approach. Now, questioning himself, having already achieved an enlightened Dao Heart and reached the pinnacle of the Dao yet still unable to attest the Dao, Taishang estimated that this might just be the method he lacked. If Junior Sister Nuwa could create humans to demonstrate her understanding of the Dao and become a sage, why couldn’t he refine a Saint Pill to do the same?
Duobao respectfully said, "Eldest Uncle, these are just the humble insights of your nephew."
Taishang spoke up, "Although it seems like taking a shortcut through a side door, it indeed constitutes a path to attest the Dao. Duobao, you should go back first and let your master contemplate this."
Duobao bowed and said, "Disciple takes his leave!" He then walked towards the outside.
Upon leaving Taiching Hall, the great doors shut with a thunderous boom, a ray of Taiching Immortal Light sparkling on it, thoroughly sealing off Taiching Palace.
Duobao suppressed the urge to burst into hearty laughter, but the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed. Bai Jin, what you can do, I can also achieve. If you can guide Nuwa to sagehood, then I can guide my Master and Eldest Uncle to sagehood. How can you compare with me then?!
Duobao stepped on an auspicious cloud and flew towards Yuqing Peak, landing before Yuqing Palace, giving a bow, and said, "Disciple Duobao requests an audience with Second Master."
