Not only Ling Tian and the others had noticed that there were no Quasi-Saint Ninth Order Ancient Divine Beasts in the God Realm—aside from the Young Leader—but Chi Xue and the other cultivators who had fused with Ancient Divine Beasts knew it too. They understood that to noticeably improve their cultivation, they had to fuse with an Ancient Divine Beast whose cultivation was somewhat higher than their own. Even fusing with one at the same cultivation level did little to improve their strength. In other words, even if those Quasi-Saint Ninth Order Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators fused with the Ancient Divine Beasts they had captured, their strength would barely increase.
It was true that once Quasi-Saint Eighth Order Peak cultivators fused with Ancient Divine Beasts, their overall strength would rise enough for them to break through to Quasi-Saint Ninth Order.

That level of cultivation posed little threat to Feng Lingzi and the others.

Before anyone could speak,
