Clearly, when the Heavenly Sect Master learned that Ye Xuan was pursuing the path of 'Proving Dao with Power', he began to doubt his belief that Ye Xuan was the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint.
Furthermore, Nuwa herself had come to request that he let the Jie Sect lineage leave the Heavenly Court, as there would inevitably be a battle between the Ancient Demon Court and the Heavenly Court, given that Heaven and Earth could not contain two supreme courts.
The Heavenly Sect Master hesitated, unsure whether Ye Xuan could become a saint. Although Ye Xuan chose the path of power, he could still switch to the method of 'Merit to Saint'.
After all, his sect brother, Laozi, initially practiced the Three Corpses Slashing Technique, but later switched to becoming a saint through merit, didn't he?
This was why the Jie Sect lineage remained in the Heavenly Court—because the Heavenly Sect Master could not yet confirm whether Ye Xuan was indeed the seventh saint.
