Members of the Four Symbols Sect felt deeply ashamed of their past low-level thinking.
"And to think I believed it was the Divine keeping the Venerable by force... Look at this Dharma Image of the Vermilion Bird spreading its wings, even from a great distance one can feel the might and power. The Vermilion Bird Venerable must have made significant progress in her cultivation, thus triggering a resonance with the stars.
This is not servitude; even the Maitreya Sect, which boasted endlessly of Dual Cultivation, wouldn't dare claim they could help someone attain such improvement. This is not that sort of thing, it can only be a true Divine blessing that allowed the ever loyal and selfless Vermilion Bird Venerable to make such a leap in her cultivation.
This is a miracle among miracles, and who knows, it might even deplete the Divine significantly. How could one even begin to imagine such a distasteful scenario?"
