Venerable Sword Saint had finally broken through to the Near-Saint Seventeenth Heaven, and his strength had slightly exceeded Ling Tian's expectations. He had even reached the point where he could threaten Ling Tian, which left Ling Tian worried. At this point, he actually hoped the mist shrouding the God Realm would dissipate.
