"I don't believe that with the immortal realm being so vast and powerful, with countless strong individuals, there's no way to save her."
Wan Lei's voice resonated.
At this moment, Han Xiaoyun stepped forward.
"How about this? I have a way to temporarily suppress the bead within her body, but as long as her heart fire isn't extinguished, she will eventually be burned to death. My method won't be completely effective either, so we still need to quickly find a solution to this matter."
"Good, thank you then."
Wan Lei nodded gratefully.
Han Xiaoyun strode to Qingwu's side. Fang Xiaoyu immediately wanted to remind her not to get too close, lest she be burned by the heart fire. However, seeing her unharmed within the heart fire, he relaxed.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu also came to her side.
Han Xiaoyun stretched out both hands, brought them together, and then opened her palms. In her palm appeared a...
A small animal, entirely fiery red, with two small horns.
The little creature was only palm-sized and very cute. Upon seeing Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, it bared its teeth, looking fierce but harmless.
"Dundun, divide a wisp of your consciousness and take the origin fire to help suppress the bead in her sea of consciousness, to contain the heart fire."
Han Xiaoyun spoke gently. The little beast nodded, and then a wisp of flame emerged from its body, entering Qingwu.
"I was wondering why this little beast's aura felt so familiar. So it's the origin fire."
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu suddenly realized.
"Huh? You've seen the origin fire? Let me tell you, the origin fire is incredibly powerful. It encompasses all flames in the world, and heart fire is one of them. With the origin fire in hand, you can suppress that heart fire bead.
This origin fire is one of only two in existence. The entire immortal realm only has this one that I possess. The other is found on the Fire Hall plaza of the Five Elements Hall, which allows disciples to cultivate.
Do you know how precious this origin fire is now..."
Han Xiaoyun, who was proudly showing off her origin fire, suddenly stopped talking and stared at Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, dumbfounded.
Both of them were holding the origin fire.
"...How do you have the origin fire? This is impossible, it's illogical!"
Han Xiaoyun, at this moment, looked like a child whose favorite toy had been snatched away, her big eyes welling up with tears, feeling incredibly wronged.
"Uh... it's different. Your origin fire is from the origin plane, while ours is from the small plane of the Thunder Wind Realm. The caliber is definitely not as good as yours. How can our small universe compare to your origin fire?"
To coax a child, you just need to make them feel that theirs is better than yours.
As expected, Han Xiaoyun smiled.
"That's true, my origin fire even has consciousness, while yours doesn't even have independent consciousness, so it's definitely not as good as mine.
Since you also have the origin fire, replenish some into her sea of consciousness periodically. Dundun's consciousness carries only a small amount of origin fire. Theoretically, as long as you keep replenishing it, Qingwu will never die."
"But she will never wake up."
Wan Qianxin said without looking up, fiddling with a spirit tablet.
"Then what do we do now?"
"Don't worry, Xin Xin is looking up information and thinking of a solution."
Bao Bao smiled sweetly, trying to use her ultimate move to comfort Wan Lei's anxious heart.
Wan Lei suddenly thought of Xia Yubing's father and immediately asked,
"Bingbao, your father is very powerful, right? If he made a move, could he solve Qingwu's problem?"
"He could definitely solve it, it just depends on whether he's willing to. I'll ask him for you."
"Don't ask. Your father won't make a move."
Wan Qianxin continued with a cold expression.
"To trouble your father with such a trivial matter, what do you take your father for? In other words, if we can't even handle such a small matter, what face do we have to go to the old ones?
A cultivator in the Mortal Realm suffering from heart fire is not a big deal. Your father won't intervene; instead, he'll make you handle it yourself. This is a test, no, it's not even a test."
He then said to Wan Lei,
"The power of Bingbao's father is beyond your imagination. Your relationship with us, this is a favor. Such a great favor used to save Qingwu would be too wasteful. When you one day provoke an existence at the Saint level and can't resolve it, then come find Bingbao's father. That's when this favor would be worth using.
"But I can't just watch Qingwu burn to death. Continuously replenishing her with origin fire to maintain the suppression isn't a solution. If the heart fire bead isn't resolved, she won't wake up."
"Don't worry, I told you this is not a big deal. I've already found at least ten methods to solve the problem.
Fortune accompanies misfortune. It would be too wasteful to remove and discard this bead. It's better to transform and guide it, using it for her to comprehend and break through to the Immortal Realm, or even for future breakthroughs to the Boundless Realm, it would be extremely beneficial."
"There's a way? Tell me."
Hope flickered in Wan Lei's eyes.
"There are methods. First, go to the Five Elements Hall and ask the Fire Hall Master or an Elder for help with the transformation. Never mind, you can't invite them.
Second, buy a pill from the Five Elements Hall's Pill Hall to directly extinguish the heart fire in the bead. Never mind, too wasteful.
Third, go to the Celestial Venerable Treasure Refining Pavilion and buy a soul-type magical treasure that can suppress immeasurable realm Dao techniques. Never mind, you can't afford it.
Fourth, the cultivation techniques and divine abilities of the Western Desert Buddhist sects can suppress and remove heart fire, making the mind calm and free from desires. No, no, it's too much of a pity for such a beautiful young lady to become a nun.
Fifth, travel to the Endless Sea of Fire in the Ten Thousand Fires Plane to obtain new heart fire for guidance... Never mind, you can't traverse across universes and planes, it's too far."
"..."
"Can you tell me a feasible method that's nearby?!"
Everyone was speechless, looking at the indifferent Wan Qianxin, wishing they could each slap him twice.
"Here, this is it. In the Eastern Land of the Immortal Realm Continent, there is a small sect called the Auspicious Person Sect. They also cultivate the seven emotions and six desires, but unlike the Weeping Desire Sect, the Weeping Desire Sect cultivates malevolent thoughts and lust, the stronger the heart fire, the better.
The Auspicious Person Sect cultivates benevolent thoughts, not forgetting emotions, entering the world but not leaving it, emphasizing the suppression of malevolent thoughts with benevolent thoughts, and is adept at guiding heart fire for cultivation. Their heart fire is more gentle.
If you can go there and have their ancestor use ancestral runes to correctly guide the heart fire within the heart fire bead to help Qingwu cultivate, then this bead will no longer cause harm to Qingwu; instead, it will be highly beneficial.
Most importantly, in this sect, everyone is a good person and a kind soul, completely different from the Weeping Desire Sect. They are very willing to help others.
Furthermore, their sect only has one Taiheng Realm ancestor. Even if he is unwilling to help, with your combat strength, you can easily subdue him and force him to help save Qingwu."
Wan Qianxin finally presented a viable plan.
