When Fairy Meng Shang had reversed her golden core for the second time, Ling Tian had not yet cultivated the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique. And forty years separated her fifth reversal from her fourth. This meant that Fairy Meng Shang would reverse her golden core before Ling Tian did. Moreover, this would be her fifth reversal. If nothing unexpected happened, she would successfully reverse her golden core and then break through to the Quasi-Saint level again, greatly increasing her strength. She might even surpass Ling Tian as he was now.
It would not be long before Ling Tian reversed his golden core next. This meant that both he and Fairy Meng Shang would greatly increase their strength, naturally posing an even greater threat to Chi Xue and the others. They might even destroy Chi Xue and the others' sect strongholds, which meant their strongholds would dwindle in number. Then Ling Tian and the others would have nothing left to worry about.
"That's true. Younger Sister Meng Shang started cultivating the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique before any of us, and she also reached her fifth golden-core reversal before we did," Fairy Sword Ji said with a smile. "Ling Tian and Younger Sister Meng Shang are reversing their golden cores one after the other. Their strength will soar, and working together, they'll easily break through the protective formations and energy shields. They might even destroy the enemy's sect strongholds. So their strongholds may not keep multiplying; they might even dwindle in number. That would hardly leave them much of a threat to us."
Before anyone else could speak, she continued, "Even if we still can't destroy their sect strongholds by then, it won't matter. We'll be reversing our golden cores five times next, and there'll be at least a dozen of us.
