Inside the Enlightenment Palace on Fangzhang Immortal Island, Zhang Qing and Goddess Nuwa took their respective seats as host and guest. After personally brewing a pot of spiritual tea, Zhang Qing motioned to He Ling, who was waiting nearby, to go and inform the disciples to come and pay their respects to Goddess Nuwa.
Taking advantage of this pause, Goddess Nuwa gave a slight nod and a bow, saying, "My purpose in coming here is twofold. First, to thank fellow Daoist for your kindness in protecting my brother; and second, to ask fellow Daoist to make a trip to the North Sea. The Sea-Suppressing Banners are of secondary importance; it is the Hetu Luoshu that are tied to my brother's path to enlightenment, and by all means, they must be retrieved from Ancestor Kunpeng."
Hearing this, Zhang Qing was momentarily stunned. "Oh? Why doesn't Goddess make the trip to the North Sea herself instead of sending me? Surely Your Ladyship would have a greater chance of success going in person. After all, I am only at the early-stage Quasi-Saint realm, and if I fail to retrieve the Hetu Luoshu upon meeting Kunpeng, wouldn't that bungle fellow Daoist Fuxi's affairs?"
