After analyzing the situation, everyone realized that Xiaoshi could hardly hope to rapidly increase his strength by fusing with the Ancient Divine Beasts Venerable Sword Saint had left behind and then face Ling Tian. Even if they did, ten thousand years later, their cultivation realms would still lag behind Xiaoshi and Ling Tian, and their strength would be far inferior. They simply wouldn't pose any threat to Ling Tian or Xiaoshi.
Po Di then thought of another way to quickly increase their strength: take Phoenix Soul Fruits and be reborn through nirvana. Many people agreed with his proposal. After all, they knew that taking a Phoenix Soul Fruit, being reborn through nirvana, and then cultivating the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique could rapidly increase their strength.
"That's right, that's right! We can absolutely take Phoenix Soul Fruits, be reborn through nirvana, and increase our strength!" Po Family Seventeenth Brother said. His eyes swept over everyone, brimming with excitement. "Quite a few of us have Phoenix Soul Fruits. At a glance, at least twenty people can take one and be reborn through nirvana. Tsk, tsk! Once they do, they'll surely be able to join forces with Venerable Sword Saint to kill Ling Tian and that Heaven-Devouring Wolf!"
Everyone nodded at that, then looked expectantly at Chi Xue and the others, certain they would agree to the proposal.
Unexpectedly, after a long silence, Chi Xue shook his head. "Taking a Phoenix Soul Fruit and being reborn through nirvana can rapidly increase our strength, but ten thousand years simply isn't enough for us to draw out its full benefits. Don't forget that our cultivation realms will be reset to zero after we take one. Although our previous insights and experience will let us cultivate by leaps and bounds, it'll still take a long time
