Thinking that Venerable Sword Saint might have received special attention from the Lord of the Universe, and that by collecting and refining more Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power he could destroy the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation ahead of time and inflict casualties on Ling Tian and the others, Chi Xue's group was thrilled. It wasn't only because many of Ling Tian's people might perish. More importantly, they would have a chance to deal with the Ancient Divine Beasts of the Divine Beast Alliance and capture a large number of divine beasts. Once they fused with them, their strength would increase greatly, giving them much greater power to protect themselves.
Of course, Chi Xue's group also felt some regret that the cultivator hadn't undergone his tribulation in the eastern region of the God Realm. It wasn't that they wanted to collect more Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power themselves; rather, they could have given some of it to Venerable Sword Saint and built a good relationship with him, which would have greatly benefited their future plans. At the very least, Venerable Sword Saint might then stop holding a grudge over the way they had "played" him, making them safer. After all, Venerable Sword Saint might target not only Ling Tian's group but Chi Xue's as well. That was partly because they, too, were seeds chosen by the Lord of the Universe, but more importantly, they possessed some Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power, something Venerable Sword Saint naturally wanted as much of as he could get. Their relationship was already strained, especially after what had happened with Mo Ye.
If Chi Xue's group took the initiative to give Venerable Sword Saint some Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power and smooth things over, surely he wouldn't target them again—especially without explicit instructions from the Lord of the
