Feng Lingzi had completed his rebirth through nirvana. Though his aptitude was now peerless, his cultivation was only at the lowest divine level. Even with a Small World several realms larger than those of ordinary cultivators, he likely still wasn't a match for a Quasi-Saint cultivator. But he had no intention of fighting anyone just then. His next task was to cultivate diligently and break through to the Great Perfection stage of the Saint God level as soon as possible. Then he could cultivate the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique, which would let him maximize his strength at this stage.
However, Feng Lingzi still retained his Primordial Spirit and memories. That meant he still had his former insights into the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, various Law Powers, and secret techniques. Combined with the new insights he'd gained from taking the Phoenix Soul Fruit and undergoing rebirth through nirvana, his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. It wouldn't be long before he reached the Great Perfection stage of the Saint God level.
Ling Tian and the others weren't worried about Feng Lingzi. Venerable Sword Saint still showed no sign of attacking them, which meant they had some time to improve their strength. And Feng Lingzi, having undergone rebirth through nirvana after taking the Phoenix Soul Fruit, would find it easy to grow stronger.

Though he would still be far weaker than Venerable Sword Saint, he'd have a better chance of fighting him—and, at the very least, a better chance
