Thinking about it, that made sense. Although Yuan Yi and the others were weaker than Ling Tian was now, if they and other cultivators of comparable strength were let out and tasked with finding Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, they might well find some. Especially if many cultivators were sent out—then they could pool what they each found, and perhaps gather all the Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures.
But based on what Ling Tian and the others knew, the Lord of the Universe had done no such thing. That alone was enough to judge that the Lord of the Universe didn't truly want to collect all the Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures and fuse them into Primordial Chaos Qi. He must have wanted something else, and that was what truly worried Po Qiong.
"Perhaps the Lord of the Universe knows that weaker cultivators might find some Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, but some of the most important ones are in the hands of powerful cultivators. Only the very strongest cultivators—or at the very least, cultivators with great potential—could possibly find them." Xiao Shi cut in before Ling Tian could speak. "Since those cultivators have no chance of finding the more important Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, there's no point sending them out. That's why he deliberately cultivated you and me to help him search for various Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures."

That's why he didn't send a large number of people to do it, but deliberately cultivated cultivators who might be able to gather all the Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures." Dan Bi agreed.
"Even if those other cultivators couldn't collect every
