Hearing Nuwa's words, Bai Ze looked at Emperor Jun with surprise and suspicion.
To Bai Ze, such an inquiry from a Saint was not without purpose.
Under their watchful gaze, Emperor Jun shook his head and said, "The path to Dao is arduous; I have not yet achieved Dao."
Emperor Jun was speaking the truth; although he could rival a Saint, he knew he had not yet attained Dao.
According to Emperor Jun's understanding, strength and the attainment of Dao were to some extent separate matters.
However, he was aware of Nuwa's strength and felt that this Saint before him might not be his match.
Nuwa nodded her head but did not underestimate Emperor Jun because of this; she trusted her own senses.
Bai Ze could comprehend the dialogue between the two, but Cai Feng, who was still kneeling, could not understand.
