On reflection, that made sense. Even after obtaining the Venerable Sword Saint's origin bloodline power, Chi Xue and Po Tian would need a very long time to reach his level of strength-perhaps over a hundred thousand years, or even longer. By then, Ling Tian and Xiao Shi would surely have broken through to the near-saint sixteenth heaven, making them far stronger than they had been when they fought the Venerable Sword Saint.
Even the Venerable Sword Saint had been unable to do anything to Ling Tian and Xiao Shi when they were only at the near-saint fifteenth heaven, let alone Chi Xue and the others. After all, by that time, Ling Tian and Xiao Shi would surely have reached the near-saint sixteenth heaven, and the gap between their cultivation realms would be much smaller than it had been against the Venerable Sword Saint.
Moreover, Ling Tian and the others were familiar with all the secret arts the Venerable Sword Saint had mastered. Even if Chi Xue and the others mastered Phantom Combo and other secret arts by refining his origin bloodline power, so what? For a long time, their proficiency in those arts would fall far short of his. Even when the Venerable Sword Saint used them, he could do nothing to Ling Tian and the others, let alone Chi Xue and his companions.
"Actually, only Chi Xue and Po Tian obtaining the Venerable Sword Saint's origin bloodline power benefits us to some extent," Ling Tian suddenly said. Seeing the puzzled expressions on Fairy Meng Shang and the others' faces, he continued, "It means that only Chi Xue and Po Tian will be strong enough to threaten us in the future. Shi Lin and the others will pose almost no threat at all, because they'll be far weaker than us."
