Saint

Saints are the highest form of existence. Not to be confused with the Saint Race which seems a type of Demon group.

There were two types of Saints: Heavenly Dao Saints, and Great Dao Saints.

The Heavenly Dao Saints were connected to the Heavenly Dao via Promordial Violet Qi or Primordial Violet Vapor.

The Great Dao Saints "proved their Dao" through strength, and broke through or were independent of the Heavenly Dao.

There were a total of six Heavenly Dao Saints

When the novel starts, there were size known saints:
 * Nuwa, protector of Demons and creator of humans
 * Three saints of the Dao Sect, also known as the Three Pure Ones:
 * Grand Pure One: head of Ren School
 * Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning
 * Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasures
 * Two saints of the Western Sect:
 * Zhun Ti
 * Jie Yin

These Saints are Heavenly Dao Saints, having accepted the Hongmeng [Primordial] Violet Qi, which tied their existence to the Heavenly Dao, and also constrained them. No Great Dao Saint are allowed to exist. To try to become a Saint through strength requires using up half the spiritual Qi of the world, and is to go against the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor. And no, you can't just shout "defy the heavens", and hope things work out.

Past saints:


 * When the Primordial World was created, the strongest Saint in the world was the Great God Pangu . He gave up his life to allow the existence of the myriad lives of the world. His eyes formed the sun and the moon. His spine formed Mount Buzhou, which held up the heavens. The Wu (Magi) race were formed from his blood, and his essence soul formed the Three Pure Ones.

Pangu was a Great Dao Saint.

Special cases:


 * Dao Ancestor is both a Saint and not a Saint. He could be called a Heavenly Dao Saint and is the most special. After the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation shattered the world, he defeated the Fiend Ancestor and merged with the Heavenly Dao.
