According to Po Tian, Ling Tian would reach his limit in about a hundred thousand years. If he could break through by then, all would be well; if not, he would have no choice but to consume the Phoenix Soul Fruit and be reborn through nirvana. The thought of Ling Tian undergoing nirvana worried everyone. Lian Yue was especially troubled by the fact that, by then, Chi Xue and the others would be far stronger than Ling Tian.
