Excited by the Heavenly Decree, Shen Gongbao turned to look at the Holy Mother of Wudang beside him, his expression solemn:
“Fellow Daoist Wudang, I do have a method that might awaken Qiongxiao, but this method has some side effects. I don’t know if we should try it.”
"Fellow Daoist Shen, do you really have a way to awaken Qiongxiao?"
Wen Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Shen Gongbao with disbelief.
Previously, when Shiji confronted Qingxu Daode Zhenjun and the other two, she also mentioned that Shen Gongbao might have a way to awaken Qiongxiao.
But Wen Zhong knew that Shi Ji was just criticizing for the sake of criticizing.
In reality, she had no idea whether Shen Gongbao truly had the ability to awaken Qiongxiao.
Therefore, Wen Zhong didn't take Shi Ji's words to heart at all.
But now it's completely different.
Now Shen Gongbao himself has admitted that he can awaken Qiongxiao.
At this moment, upon hearing Shen Gongbao say that he could awaken Qiongxiao, Wudang Shengmu, though not as distraught as Wen Zhong, was equally excited.
"Shen Gongbao, do you really have a way to awaken Qiongxiao? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
Shen Gongbao shook his head:
"There is a generally feasible method, but as I just mentioned, this method has some side effects!"
At this moment, the Holy Mother of Wudang had calmed down slightly from her excitement at Shen Gongbao's ability to awaken Qiongxiao, and said somewhat nervously:
"Tell me, what exactly are the side effects you mentioned? If they don't affect Qiongxiao's life, then I think it's worth a try. I think Yunxiao and the others can accept that as well."
Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao no longer hesitated and said directly:
"Fellow Daoist Wudang, have you ever heard of the Red Embroidered Ball, the most precious treasure for marriage belonging to the Goddess Nuwa?"
"A red embroidered ball?"
After a moment's thought, the Holy Mother of Wudang spoke:
"The Red Embroidered Ball was forged by the Goddess Nuwa using the threads of primordial passion and the power of the wishes of all living beings. With this, the Goddess Nuwa controls the marriages of the Three Realms. But the Red Embroidered Ball of the Goddess Nuwa should have nothing to do with Qiongxiao's current illness, right?"
Halfway through her speech, the voice of the Holy Mother of Wudang gradually weakened.
The red embroidered ball is said to be a red embroidered ball, entwined with countless red threads of fate, causing those who touch it to feel their hearts flutter and foreshadowing romantic tribulations.
It doesn't seem to help Qiongxiao's current situation at all.
But at this moment, the Holy Mother of Wudang suddenly remembered a casual conversation she had with the Sage of Tongtian.
The Qiankun Cauldron is a supreme treasure possessed by the goddess Nuwa. It contains the innate Yin and Yang energies, which can restore the original state and refine all things in reverse. Moreover, all innate spiritual treasures transformed through the Qiankun Cauldron possess the wonder of creation.
The red embroidered ball was forged by the goddess Nuwa using the threads of chaos and the power of the wishes of all living beings.
However, to ultimately become a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, it must have undergone the reverse refinement process of the Qiankun Cauldron.
If so, does the red embroidered ball also possess miraculous effects?
Seeing the changing expressions on Wudang Shengmu's face, Shen Gongbao knew she had a general idea. Seeing this, Shen Gongbao spoke again:
"Besides being able to seal a marriage, the red embroidered ball can also prolong life with the thread of love. When one party is on the verge of death and unconscious, as long as the thread of love on the red embroidered ball is wrapped around their wrist, the thread of love can penetrate into the heart meridians of both parties, forcibly awakening the sleeping spirit and making their heart beat again."
Upon hearing Shen Gongbao's words, the Holy Mother of Wudang jumped up in excitement.
Qiongxiao's current situation perfectly matches the scenario Shen Gongbao described, where the red embroidered ball symbolizes the continuation of her life.
Qiongxiao is saved!
At this moment, the Holy Mother of Wudang was absolutely certain that as long as she possessed the Red Embroidered Ball, she could definitely save Qiongxiao's life.
"Shen Gongbao, thank you so much. This time, as long as we can save Qiongxiao, you will definitely deserve the most credit."
"But Uncle Wudang, Nuwa's most precious treasure shouldn't be so easy to borrow, right?"
Wen Zhong's words immediately silenced the Holy Mother of Wudang.
Things belonging to sages are not so easy to borrow, not to mention that the Red Embroidered Ball is a supreme treasure of Nuwa, who controls the rules of marriage in the three realms. Even without saying a word, one knows that there is no way to borrow such a thing back.
"It seems we have no choice but to ask Master to take action!"
However, despite saying that, this time, Wu Dang's face did not show much confidence.
On the one hand, it's because the red embroidered ball involves Nuwa, who is in charge of marriage in the Three Realms. Even though Tongtian Jiaozhu and Nuwa are both saints, Nuwa might not necessarily give Tongtian Jiaozhu face.
On the other hand, it was because King Zhou's offering of incense at Nuwa's Palace had displeased Nuwa, and as the sage sect behind the Shang Dynasty, it naturally incurred Nuwa's wrath.
In this way, the chances of borrowing the red embroidered ball from the goddess Nuwa are even smaller.
Thinking of this, the Holy Mother of Wudang couldn't help but sigh softly:
"Although we have now found a way to awaken Qiongxiao, it is not certain that Master can borrow the Red Embroidered Ball from Goddess Nuwa."
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly:
"That doesn't matter. Although I don't have the Red Embroidered Ball, I obtained a Marriage Thread by chance. Although its effect is far inferior to the Red Embroidered Ball of Goddess Nuwa, it should be enough to awaken Qiongxiao!"
"What? You actually possess the marriage thread from the red embroidered ball?"
"Does that mean Qiongxiao can really be saved?"
At this moment, the Holy Mother of Wudang could no longer remain calm.
Although a simple marriage line is certainly not as effective as a complete red embroidered ball, as Shen Gongbao said, merely awakening Qiongxiao, the effect of the marriage line is not much different from that of the red embroidered ball.
What does it matter how much we have to sacrifice, as long as we can awaken Qiongxiao?
"Fellow Daoist Shen, how can you give up the marriage thread in your hand? I will never be stingy with anything I have."
As she spoke, the Holy Mother Wudang waved her hand, and several magical treasures appeared directly in her hand.
"This is the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, which my master forged from the remains of a Chaos Demon God. Once activated, it can travel millions of miles in an instant, making it an absolute life-saving treasure."
"This is the Profound Yin Beast Gathering Banner, which my senior brother forged with the evil energy of the Nine Netherworlds. The banner is embroidered with totems of ferocious beasts from the primordial era. When it is shaken, it summons the souls of beasts such as Taotie and Qiongqi to devour enemies. It is an absolutely deadly weapon."
...
As the Holy Mother of Wudang introduced the magical treasures in her hands one by one, Shen Gongbao was also tempted.
As expected of a direct descendant of the inner sect of the Jie Sect, the spiritual treasures he possesses far exceed the imagination of ordinary cultivators.
However, Shen Gongbao is not really lacking in spiritual treasures right now. When he mentioned the marriage thread to the Holy Mother of Wudang, he never thought of asking for a reward.
Reaching into his robes, Shen Gongbao extended his hand again, placing the thread of fate before the Holy Mother of Wudang:
"This is the marriage line. As for the side effects I mentioned before, you should now understand them. So before binding the marriage line to Qiongxiao, you'd better find someone who is compatible with Qiongxiao."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Wudang and Wen Zhong exchanged bewildered glances.
