Ling Tian had been able to cultivate so against the heavens and keep growing his Small World not only because of his Gods and Demons Chaos Body. Long, long ago, he had chosen an exceptionally heaven-defying method of cultivation. In fact, he had comprehended Intent Power back when he was still a minor cultivator in the Immortal Realm. Intent Power was the foundation that let him cultivate against the heavens. Without comprehending this power at an early stage, it was nearly impossible for a cultivator to follow Ling Tian's path.
Indeed, perhaps Chi Xue, Fairy Meng Shang, and the others had now comprehended Intent Power, but their mastery of it was far inferior to Ling Tian's. More importantly, they had comprehended it much later than he had. Even someone as powerful as Venerable Sword Saint had only comprehended this energy after reaching the tenth level of the Near-Saint stage, and only then learned to externalize his Small World.
That meant that if Yu Ying selected a disciple whose cultivation realm was above the Immortal level, he might not be able to accomplish what Ling Tian had. They would have to find an Immortal whose cultivation realm was close to Ling Tian's when he had first comprehended Intent Power.
