The longer they delayed, the greater the chance Hua Min'er and the others would meet with an accident and die. Naturally, Ling Tian hoped they could return to the God Realm as soon as possible and rescue them.
That was true. Although Chi Xue and Ling Tian had already found sixty or seventy Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, and might find more while dealing with the Outer Realm Cultivators, they knew that the fewer Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures remained, the harder they would be to find. No one knew how long it would take to locate them all.

All told, the delay would be considerable. Ling Tian felt that waiting another million years, as Po Tian had suggested, was too long. At the very least, he found it difficult to accept.
"Since we've already delayed this long, another million years won't make much difference," Chi Xue suddenly said. As a thought occurred to him, he turned to look toward the Demon God Forbidden Ground.
