That was right. Ling Tian couldn't keep the Venerable Sword Saint occupied without using Teleportation Formations. But if he broke through to the peak of the Near-Saint Fourteenth Heaven, or even the Near-Saint Fifteenth Heaven, that wouldn't be a problem at all. He could improve his strength while keeping the Venerable Sword Saint occupied, while the Sword Saint, harried by Ling Tian, wouldn't be able to improve his own strength. Breaking through to the Near-Saint Seventeenth Heaven would be almost impossible. As long as he didn't reach the Near-Saint Seventeenth Heaven, Ling Tian and Little Scourge would have a decent chance against him.
Moreover, as Tantai had said, by then Ling Tian wouldn't be limited to going after the Venerable Sword Saint; he could also target Chi Xue and the others. Without a doubt, Ling Tian's cultivation would be a cut above theirs, and his strength even more so. In that situation, he would still have a chance to kill them. And once he had killed some of them, the mission in a hundred thousand years would be even less of a concern.
At that moment, Feng Lingzi also made a very constructive proposal: he would lead a group of Rune Cultivators in continuing to set up Teleportation Formations while advancing toward the eastern wilderness of the God Realm. By the time Ling Tian reached the peak of the Near-Saint Fourteenth Heaven, or even the Near-Saint Fifteenth Heaven, the formations they had built would surely have drawn close to the eastern wilderness. With those formations, Ling Tian could harass the Venerable Sword Saint even more freely. They might even give him a better chance of killing people from Chi Xue's faction.
"We shouldn't just set up Teleportation Formations in the eastern part of the God Realm. We should build them
