Ning Hongye's momentum is rapidly waning!
With her current strength, she wasn't absolutely certain she could break through to the next level.
However, when faced with the Hehuan Sect and Ji Hao's coercion...
Ning Hongye had no choice. Holding the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle, she planned to forcefully break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm with the blessing of the Golden Immortal-level immortal artifact.
But it failed; the pinnacle of the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm was ultimately not the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Strictly speaking, it is impossible for anyone who is not at the Celestial Immortal Realm to control a Golden Immortal-level immortal artifact!
The difference in rank is too great...
Ning Hongye attempted to break through to the next realm, but ultimately failed!
Mu Yunxi's expression changed drastically, and she quickly stepped forward to support Ning Hongye.
"Senior Sister Ning! Are you alright?!"
Ning Hongye gave a bitter smile. "Even a mountain nine ren high can ultimately fail at the last step. This time, I forced my way into the realm with the mindset of either succeeding or dying for it."
"Now that I have failed... it has naturally damaged my very essence. Perhaps I will never be able to advance to the Celestial Immortal realm in this lifetime!"
"Yunxi... how has the situation been outside all this time?"
Mu Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Senior Sister Ning, during this time... the disciples of the Hehuan Sect have been searching for our whereabouts everywhere."
"After their search proved fruitless... they actually treated our Jingyun Sect's senior and junior sisters as celestial prostitutes, offering them up to all the immortals in the Refining Immortal City..."
"What?!" Ning Hongye already had a wound on his body, and upon hearing the terrible news, his blood surged and he fainted.
"Senior Sister Ning!" Mu Yunxi called out in a panic, filled with regret. "Sigh... I was wrong too. Why did I tell Senior Sister Ning all this at this time?"
"But if I don't tell... what about my other junior sisters and senior sisters..."
Chu Tianyao sighed softly and stepped forward to take Ning Hongye's pulse.
He transferred a portion of his true essence into Ning Hongye's body, temporarily stabilizing her injuries.
During this process, Chu Tianyao made a surprising discovery.
Ning Hongye's physique is actually the same as Xiao Ruoli's... both are extremely Yin divine bodies!
He thought to himself, "With Ning Hongye's physique, if he could cultivate with me... not only could he heal his Dao injuries, but he would also have a great chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm again and succeeding."
Mu Yunxi held Chu Tianyao's hand and asked, "Husband, how is Senior Sister Ning?"
"I have activated my immortal energy to protect her heart meridian. After a short rest... Fairy Ning will wake up."
Mu Yunxi nodded, "It's a pity that Senior Sister Ning failed to break through to the next realm... How can we rescue our junior sisters from the Hehuan Sect?"
Chu Tianyao remained silent for a long time before finally pulling Mu Yunxi's hand and sitting down.
"Yunxi...I have a way to help Fairy Ning recover from her injuries, and even help her break through to a higher realm!"
Mu Yunxi's face lit up with joy. "Husband! You...you're telling the truth?!"
Chu Tianyao nodded. "I won't speak carelessly... but this matter requires me and Fairy Ning to engage in joint cultivation!"
"Wh...what?" Mu Yunxi was extremely surprised. "Husband, I don't understand what you mean. Healing...why do we need to merge?"
Chu Tianyao slowly said, "Yunxi...do you still remember how I healed your wounds and removed the poison that day?"
Mu Yunxi was slightly taken aback, then said, "Of course I remember, but that day I was poisoned by the Hehuan Sect's aphrodisiac, so... so I needed to be treated like my husband to remove the poison."
"But Senior Sister Ning clearly has internal injuries... why... why is she undergoing combined healing?"
Mu Yunxi naturally felt sorry for Ning Hongye, but after hearing Chu Tianyao's suggestion, she actually felt a pang of jealousy.
"Tianyao is my husband, why... why should he merge with Senior Sister Ning?!"
Chu Tianyao sighed softly, "Yunxi... Now that things have come to this, I will no longer hide it from you."
"My constitution is a Yin-Yang Chaos Body, with an inexhaustible supply of Yin and Yang power within my body. And I have cultivated a technique called the Yin-Yang Evolution Heaven Technique."
"This technique allows you to adjust your Yin and Yang energies to an optimal state when cultivating with a fairy."
"By circulating the cultivation technique, one can quickly recover from Dao injuries... and even achieve twice the result with half the effort in breaking through cultivation realms."
At this point, Chu Tianyao looked at Mu Yunxi and said, "Yunxi... the poison in your body is a celestial-level aphrodisiac. If it weren't for my special cultivation technique, how could I have removed it?"
Mu Yunxi looked at Chu Tianyao, and at this moment she completely believed Chu Tianyao's words.
Her face showed an extremely conflicted expression. "My husband wouldn't lie to me! He really does have a way to save Senior Sister Ning."
"But...but...he's clearly my Daoist partner, so why is he acting like that with Senior Sister Ning?!"
Mu Yunxi felt bitter and conflicted. "If I don't agree... then Senior Sister Ning's Dao injury will not be able to heal and recover."
"If my senior sister fails to break through her cultivation realm, my fellow senior sisters will also be defiled and played with by those beasts of the Hehuan Sect..."
"But if I agree... if I agree... what woman would push her husband to another woman!"
The more Mu Yunxi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
Seeing this, Chu Tianyao sighed softly.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Mu Yunxi's cheeks and said softly, "Yunxi... if you are unwilling, then I will not do it."
"At worst, I can cultivate in this tunnel for several decades. I'm confident I can break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm!"
"Decades..." Mu Yunxi smiled sadly, "Even if my husband really does reach the Celestial Immortal Realm in a few decades, how can I bear to let my junior sisters be wantonly played with by those beasts for decades?!"
"Alright... Senior Sister Ning isn't an outsider... As long as she's willing, husband, please heal her wounds..."
Chu Tianyao nodded, "Yunxi... I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Several hours later...
Ning Hongye slowly woke up, feeling that her internal energy had stabilized somewhat.
However, the scars on the Great Dao still remain!
"I only regret that I failed to break through to the next realm..." Ning Hongye murmured to herself, "Since there is no hope of breaking through to the next realm in this lifetime... how can Hongye live on in disgrace?!"
She slowly rose and gripped the Crimson Flame Stream in her hand.
"As the senior disciple of the Jingyun Sect, I cannot stand by and watch my fellow disciples be humiliated. Today, I will fight to the death to storm the Hehuan Sect!"
Thinking of this, she walked up to Mu Yunxi and took out the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle from her bosom.
"Junior Sister Yunxi, please take the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Bottle... I failed to break through my cultivation realm, so I can't use it anymore."
Ning Hongye then looked at Chu Tianyao and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I entrust Junior Sister Yunxi to your care."
"I'm going to the Hehuan Sect... I want all the immortals in Lianxian City to know that Jingyun Sect cannot be humiliated."
Chu Tianyao looked at Ning Hongye quietly and slowly said, "Fairy Ning, I might have a way to help you break through your cultivation level!"
