This was the most elite portion of Myriad Sect's forces.
The Heavenly Palace Divine Realm was not large; it could only protect this many people, and Li Tianming had no other choice.
The rest scattered in all directions. Though displaced from their homes, because their numbers were vast, the Order Celestial Clan could only occupy the major sects for now. They did not have enough personnel to carpet-kill the remnants of Myriad Sect scattered across every corner.
Next, the Order Celestial Clan's attention should be on Sirius.
Myriad Sect finally had room to catch its breath and recuperate.
"If the Sovereign continues to wipe them out root and branch, spreading the war to every level of ascendants and sending tens or even hundreds of billions of Order Celestial Clan ascendants south to hunt down Myriad Sect's remnants inch by inch, then this will become a true war of extermination."
For now, the Order Celestial Clan showed no signs of doing so.
However, having Myriad Sect's remnants scattered everywhere and stripped of organization, with only Silver Dust keeping track of their locations, was not a long-term solution either.
Every cultivator needed a base like Myriad Dragons Sacred Mountain. The resources required for every aspect of cultivation were vital. It might be manageable in the short term, but if this continued for years or decades, cultivation would be like rowing upstream—if one did not advance, one would fall behind.

They could not gradually decline and sink into ruin while hiding and fleeing
