As time passed, cultivators in Lingxiao Pavilion who practiced the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique successively reversed their second Golden Core. Once their cultivation levels recovered, their strength increased considerably. Lingxiao Pavilion's overall strength also rose dramatically, improving even faster than Heavenly One Path's. This put Ling Tian and the others somewhat at ease about the Po Family Brothers recruiting Ancient Divine Beasts. Besides, the Gu Family had also competed for half of the Ancient Divine Beasts.
Since the Gu Family had good relations with Lingxiao Pavilion and Soul Severing Cliff, it had the advantage of being close at hand. More Ancient Divine Beasts therefore favored the Gu Family. Though the Gu Family had started recruiting them a little later than the Po Family Brothers, it wasn't much slower at bringing them in. These Ancient Divine Beasts had also begun practicing the first slash of the Sacred Beast Seven-Style Severing Slash.
After all this time, the major super forces had finally refined Five-Revolutions Soul Quenching Liquid. The core disciples of those forces were thrilled, and cultivators who were sect leaders, such as Gu Ao and Fairy Phantom Thorn, were naturally first in line to use it. After taking the liquid, their Nascent Souls improved considerably.
Chi Xue and the Jade Devouring Sky Python were also considered "seedlings" whom the Mo Family was focused on cultivating, so they naturally qualified to use the Five-Revolutions Soul Quenching Liquid early. After taking it, their Nascent Souls had improved greatly as well.
According to the original plan, after using the Five-Revolutions Soul Quenching Liquid, the Jade Devouring Sky Python was supposed to enter Beast Soul Valley. But their plans had changed somewhat: first, they would capture some Ancient Divine Beasts that had mastered the Sacred Beast Seven-Style Severing Slash, then have it learn the technique
