It had to be said that Chi Xue and the others were clever. They quickly came up with a way to deal with the situation. They also believed that as long as they held out for a while, this problem would go away. Once the hundred-thousand-year deadline arrived, Venerable Sword Saint could attack Ling Tian and the others again. By then, Venerable Sword Saint would be able to fuse nine golden cores, greatly increasing his strength. He could easily destroy the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation and then keep hunting Ling Tian and the others, leaving them no chance to catch their breath.
Fusing nine golden cores was not merely one golden core better than fusing eight. Once Venerable Sword Saint fused all nine, the different golden cores would circulate among one another, creating an endless cycle. This would greatly increase both his strength and his ability to recover, far beyond the boost he had gained from fusing one additional golden core before. With this improvement, he could easily destroy the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation and then keep hunting Ling Tian and the others.
Chi Xue and the others had thought of this as well. The realization filled them with excitement and anticipation, and eased much of the frustration weighing on them.
After that, Chi Xue and the others said no more. They focused on cultivation, hoping to break through as soon as possible. After all, the sooner they broke through, the sooner they could compete for the Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power.
Next, Po Di and Po Family's Youngest Brother went to meet the cultivators from the alliance of God Realm's major powers and tell them their proposal. Perhaps those cultivators thought the plan would work; perhaps they were desperate to obtain some Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power.
