That was right. When an Ancient Divine Beast accepted a beast-soul inheritance, the other beast souls would protect it and keep other cultivators away. Though the beast souls' overall strength had weakened considerably over the years, cultivators in the God Realm had weakened as well, since no Quasi-Sage experts had entered the beast souls at all.
