That was right. Ling Tian and the others had more important things to do now: raise their strength as quickly as possible. They not only had to face the Heavenly Slave trials ahead, but, more importantly, Venerable Sword Saint. The latter hung over their heads like a sword, and they were eager to grow stronger. Going out to intercept Chi Xue and the cultivators from the alliance of God Realm's major powers would undoubtedly waste a great deal of time, which would inevitably hamper their progress to some extent. By having their companions face them as Heavenly Slaves, Ling Tian and the others could sharpen those cultivators and help them improve much faster. Of course, the cultivators acting as Heavenly Slaves also benefited from their repeated sparring, and their strength had improved considerably.
Though she knew Ling Tian had a point, Fairy Sword Princess still hadn't given up on the idea of going out to make trouble for Chi Xue and the cultivators from the alliance of the God Realm's major powers. "But that's all just your speculation. What if they really do go after a Near-Saint-level Ancient Divine Beast?"
"Don't worry. I already said they won't go after Near-Saint-level Ancient Divine Beasts at this stage. With their current strength, capturing one of that level would still be difficult, even if Chi Xue's people joined forces with the elite squads from the alliance of God Realm's major powers. And if they can't capture one in a single strike, they'll alert it. That would only drive those Ancient Divine Beasts to join our side, which would be a good thing for us." Ling Tian smiled, then changed tack. "Besides, even if they do capture a few Near-Saint-level Ancient Divine Beasts, so what? Does that mean they can threaten us?"
Before anyone
