After learning of Feng Lingzi and the others' heroic deeds at Sunset Canyon, Fairy Sword Ji and the others could hardly sit still. They were especially eager to leave after hearing that the six Ancient Divine Beasts at the Quasi-Saint Ninth Order, which the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators had finished fusing with, had also joined the battle. They suggested heading to the eastern part of the God Realm early. After all, compared to dull cultivation, Fairy Sword Ji and the others were more enthusiastic about fighting the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators. What was more, they could improve their cultivation during battle, or at the very least hone their archery skills.
Of course, Fairy Sword Ji and the others offered reasons for going out. For example, they were worried that the Outer Realm Demon Race might mobilize a great army at any moment to attack the northern part of the God Realm, so they wanted to hurry there and intercept them along the way. But none of these reasons could convince Ling Tian, because he was certain that the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators would not make a move within the next five thousand years. They could use that time to continue improving their cultivation or make other preparations.
Ling Tian was so certain because he knew that cultivators who had fused with Ancient Divine Beasts had to become completely familiar with their current realms before they could bring their strength to bear perfectly. And getting used to a whole new realm took a long time. Although fusing with more powerful Ancient Divine Beasts could forcibly raise their cultivation, the cultivators and the Ancient Divine Beasts they had fused with had never reached those realms before, so they naturally needed to familiarize themselves with them as soon as possible.
