Unless something unexpected happened, among the cultivators who would cross the tribulation with Ling Tian in the future, Chi Xue and Po Tian were the strongest after him and Xiao Shi. They would also have the greatest impact on the Lord of the Universe. Naturally, Ling Tian hoped they would become as powerful as possible. Breaking through to the Twenty-first Heaven of Near-Saint would greatly increase their strength, so Ling Tian still hoped they could reach that level.
