After hearing Ling Tian's reasoning, Chi Xue and the others realized that not using soul restrictions to control the captured Outer Realm Cultivators had many advantages. In particular, they wouldn't have to worry as much about extremely powerful cultivators—those at the twenty-third heavenly realm or higher—coming after them. If they provoked cultivators of that level, then even after capturing a large number of powerful Outer Realm Cultivators, they might still struggle to stand against them.
