Shen Gongbao strode into the Zining Palace and upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor seated in the main hall, immediately bowed deeply and said, "I, Shen Gongbao, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
The Heavenly Emperor spoke authoritatively, "The unification of the great and small entities within Western Buddhism is indeed a joyous and commendable event.
You shall go to the Turquoise Pool to collect eighty-one Purple Pattern Flat Peaches and three baskets of Nine-pored Dragon Eyes, then proceed to the West to offer congratulations. After you have collected them, return to see me."
Shen Gongbao promptly replied with utmost respect, "Yes!" and turned to leave.
A moment later, Shen Gongbao arrived at the Yaochi Sacred Realm, stood at the entrance, and lowered his head to say, "I, Shen Gongbao, request an audience with the Queen Mother!"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman floated out from the Turquoise Pool, looked Shen Gongbao over, and said with a smile, "Follow me inside!"
