Although Chi Xue and the others would soon return, Ling Tian and his companions could still launch two more raids before then. With their forces split into three groups, that meant six sect strongholds would be destroyed. After that, Chi Xue's side would have fewer than ten strongholds left, and the Technology Cultivators' production of Universe Flying Saucers would slow dramatically.
Although Chi Xue's side already possessed a great many Universe Flying Saucers—far more than the Technology Cultivators had even at their peak—Ling Tian and his companions still had many temporary bases. Chi Xue and the others would have to expend a batch of flying saucers to capture each one. Judging by the situation, even if they used up every last saucer, they still wouldn't be able to destroy all the temporary bases Ling Tian and his companions had set up.
If that was the case, then Chi Xue and the others no longer posed much of a threat to Ling Tian's side. As time passed, Ling Tian and his companions would only grow stronger. In particular, after Fairy Sword Ji and the others each reversed their Golden Core five times, Ling Tian's side would even have the strength to destroy the Sunset Canyon base. Then they would have a chance to wipe out the Technology Cultivators, Chi Xue, and the rest. In other words, Chi Xue and the others would no longer be much of a threat.
During their earlier attacks on the sect strongholds, Ling Tian and his companions had not only destroyed the various facilities within the bases, the Satellite Flying Saucers, and the super cannons, and killed many cultivators from the God Realm; they had also destroyed many Universe Flying Saucers. When Chi Xue left, he had taken only most of the saucers with him. Nearly
