Ling Tian wasn't satisfied with only occasionally capturing cultivators from the Twenty-first Heaven. After all, he knew that cultivators from the Twenty-second Heaven possessed even better treasures. In particular, Ice Cicada Flower had said that the cultivator who'd fought Little White and the others before might have a Saint-grade Heavenly Treasure they hadn't yet obtained.
