As Chi Xue had said, in their future search for all kinds of Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, they would inevitably encounter even more powerful cultivators—far beyond those who had only just reached the Twenty-first Heaven of Near-Saint.

Everyone knew that, once their cultivation reached their level, advancing even one minor stage took an incredibly long time—possibly more than a million years. Even with the aid of Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, and with the Lord of the Universe's suppression no longer weighing on them now that they were outside the star domain, their rate of advancement would increase considerably. But it was still impossible to reach a level where they could contend with cultivators of the Twenty-second Heaven in just a million years, especially since some of their opponents might be beyond the Twenty-second Heaven.
