Fairy Caiyi rode her phoenix, supporting True Person Suyuan with a shroud of clouds, and flew without pause straight toward the Divine Firmament Sect.

The Divine Firmament Sect was located at the Mirror Lake Immortal Mountain.

The mountain light and water colors blended into one; strange rocks and peculiar peaks were everywhere. Clusters of peaks floated within the mist, and all manner of beasts hid among the clouds.

Upon arriving, Fairy Caiyi circulated her magic power, causing her aura to become dim and erratic. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she deliberately disheveled her hair.

"Disciples of the Divine Firmament Sect, come quickly!"

As Fairy Caiyi shouted, the disciples of the Divine Firmament Sect heard the commotion and emerged from the Mirror Lake Immortal Mountain like a school of fish.

The leader was a cultivator of the Contemplation Realm named Chi Yingzi. His strength was already peerless; he was only one step away from entering the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Purple light flashed in his eyes, and he was greatly shocked to see True Person Suyuan unconscious upon the clouds.

He hurried forward and asked, "Fairy, what happened to our True Person? How did he end up in such a state?"

As Chi Yingzi asked, he also secretly remained on guard against Fairy Caiyi.

Fairy Caiyi saw this clearly, but she pretended not to notice and said, "True Person Suyuan was wounded by a fiend. I rescued him, but I also sustained some injuries myself."

"Hurry, take True Person Suyuan back to the mountain and treat him at once!"

Fairy Caiyi withdrew her clouds and handed True Person Suyuan over to Chi Yingzi, secretly casting a spell to rouse the unconscious True Person.

As soon as True Person Suyuan regained consciousness and sensed that he had arrived at his own mountain gate, he felt at ease.

Chi Yingzi hurriedly took out a healing pill, dissolved it with his magic power, and had True Person Suyuan swallow it.

That pill was a secret medicine of the Divine Firmament Sect. Each one was irreplaceable and served as a life-saving treasure with remarkable efficacy.

After taking the pill, True Person Suyuan sat upright and began to circulate his magic art to heal his wounds.

Their foundation is truly deep. A Contemplation Realm cultivator can just whip out a pill like that without a second thought!

Fairy Caiyi felt envious as she watched. Unlike them, whenever she needed a pill, she had to transform into a phoenix just to go and fetch one.

"Since True Person Suyuan is now safe, I shall take my leave!"

Fairy Caiyi said this, turned her direction, and prepared to depart on her phoenix.

Who would have thought that after only a few steps, the phoenix formed by her divine ability suddenly dissipated. Fairy Caiyi's body swayed, and she actually plummeted from the sky.

Chi Yingzi was still stunned when a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Why aren't you going to save her yet!"

"Fairy Caiyi must have been severely wounded by that fiend while saving me."

It was True Person Suyuan who had recovered enough to speak!

Chi Yingzi dared not disobey True Person Suyuan's command. He manifested a purple light to catch Fairy Caiyi, then brought her back into the Mountain Gate together.

"Go, fetch another medicinal pill!" True Person Suyuan ordered.

Chi Yingzi's face showed hesitation as he said, "Master, there are not many of those pills left..."

True Person Suyuan cut him off, saying, "Is my Divine Firmament Sect so poor that we cannot afford a single pill?"

"Fairy Caiyi hails from the Biyun Heavenly Palace and was injured while saving me. How can we not save her!"

Chi Yingzi had no choice but to retrieve another pill, intending to dissolve it with his magical power for Fairy Caiyi to consume.

Fairy Caiyi, however, slowly stirred awake and asked, "Where am I?"

"Oh, I am in the Divine Firmament Sect. That devil's methods were ruthless; he actually damaged my Divine Soul!"

Seeing her wake up, Chi Yingzi stopped his movements, holding the pill in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, please take this pill as well to recover from your injuries," True Person Suyuan said.

Fairy Caiyi feigned refusal, but eventually, unable to resist True Person Suyuan's persuasion, she accepted the pill.

She secretly used a concealment technique to hide the pill, then circulated her magical power, causing her aura to gradually stabilize. "As expected of the Divine Firmament Sect's medicine; it is truly miraculous. I have already recovered seven or eight tenths."

"True Person Suyuan, your injuries are quite severe. You must recuperate carefully. I shall take my leave now!"

"That devil and I had a prior grievance. He killed my disciples for no reason, but it is hateful that my strength was insufficient to slay him, and I ended up injured myself."

"Once I return, I can only close my Mountain Gate and cultivate diligently to ensure my disciples suffer no further losses."

"True Person, you must also keep a close watch on your Mountain Gate, lest that devil emerges from the secret realm and comes seeking revenge!"

True Person Suyuan felt moved and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Fairy. That devil is truly detestable. If he dares to come to my Mirror Lake Immortal Mountain, I have plenty of methods left behind by our Ancestor to ensure he is scattered to the winds!"

Hearing this, a look of worry suddenly appeared on Fairy Caiyi's face, as if she were burdened with heavy thoughts. She whispered, "That is good."

"Although I hail from the Biyun Heavenly Palace, the Palace's laws are strict. Having descended from the sacred mountain, I have little to rely on."

"If that devil were to attack, I would not be afraid, but I pity my disciples, whom I would be unable to protect!"

"True Person, I take my leave!"

At this moment, Fairy Caiyi appeared like a willow swaying in the wind, fragile and worthy of pity.

True Person Suyuan, already weakened by his injuries, fell under her influence before he even realized it. A desire sprouted in his heart, and he felt that Fairy Caiyi was kind-hearted and beautiful, so he said:

"Fairy, do not fear. My Divine Firmament Sect will certainly ensure your safety!"

Seeing True Person Suyuan fall for the trap, Fairy Caiyi chuckled inwardly, though she showed nothing on her face. She merely used her words to provoke his emotions, waiting for him to make the first move.

Sure enough, True Person Suyuan said, "Fairy, do not decline any further. Chi Yingzi, go open the Treasury and let the Fairy choose whatever she likes!"

Fairy Caiyi naturally would not take the initiative to go and take them; she put on airs once again.

What she wanted was for the Divine Firmament Sect to voluntarily deliver the treasures and spirit pills into her hands, not for her to go and take them herself.

If the Divine Firmament Sect gave them to her voluntarily and she only accepted them because she could not refuse, then no one could say anything against her!

Seeing that Fairy Caiyi refused to accept, True Person Suyuan grew anxious. Ignoring the fact that his injuries had not yet healed, he went to the Treasury himself.

He carefully selected treasures and pills with extraordinary effects, then forcefully shoved them into Fairy Caiyi's hands.

Only then did Fairy Caiyi reluctantly accept them, saying, "True Person, you are truly too polite. If I were to make a trip to the Biyun Heavenly Palace, I wouldn't even have a use for these things of yours!"

"Fairy, you are worthy of these. Furthermore, you saved my life; let these be a token of my gratitude," True Person Suyuan said with sincere emotion.

Only then did Fairy Caiyi stop playing hard to get. She put away the treasures and pills and departed from the Divine Firmament Sect.

Watching her leave until he could no longer sense her aura at all, True Person Suyuan felt a hollow emptiness in his heart.

However, at this moment, he could not distinguish whether this feeling was because of Fairy Caiyi's departure or because of the treasures and pills he had given away.

Chi Yingzi, standing to the side, saw it clearly, but he dared not speak too much in front of True Person Suyuan.

Once I reach the Spirit Condensation Realm, I must thoroughly reorganize the Divine Firmament. This place has rotted to the core! If only we could summon the Supreme Treasure left behind by the Ancestor, the Divine Firmament Sect would not have fallen to this state!

Chi Yingzi thought to himself, then turned and headed deep into the Divine Firmament Sect, toward a sheer cliff.

The Supreme Treasure left behind by the Ancestor of the Divine Firmament Sect was hidden within that cliff, but everyone in the sect had already tried countless times and had never been able to summon the treasure from within.

Chi Yingzi sat cross-legged before the cliff, practicing his cultivation while continuously calling out and sensing, hoping only that his strength would become sufficient to save the Divine Firmament Sect from its decline.
