After learning that Ling Tian had effortlessly killed a large number of cultivators in Thunder Purgatory, including cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Twenty-third Heaven of Near-Saint, countless Outer Realm Cultivators gave up pursuing him. In their hearts, with their strength, chasing Ling Tian would be no different from courting death.
That's right, a large number of Outer Realm Cultivators gave up pursuing Ling Tian. They weren't just cultivators in the Twenty-second Heaven of Near-Saint; quite a few cultivators in the Twenty-third Heaven of Near-Saint also abandoned the idea of attacking him. After all, in their hearts, Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures were important, but nowhere near as important as their lives. They had no desire to risk so much for those treasures.
At this point, the only ones still interested in Ling Tian were cultivators in the late stage or peak of the Twenty-third Heaven of Near-Saint, or those at even higher realms. However, cultivators of this caliber made up only a small fraction of the entire Outer Realm Star Domain. What's more, most of the cultivators at the higher realms were unwilling to act personally. That left even fewer who would still attack Ling Tian, further easing the pressure on him.
After deciding not to pursue Ling Tian, the large number of Outer Realm Cultivators also began wondering how his strength had improved so much in such a short time. It had to be said that there were plenty of clever people among them. They soon analyzed the real reason: Ling Tian had obtained a large number of Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, and it was with these treasures' help that his strength had improved so quickly.
Although this realization made the Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures in Ling Tian's hands even more tempting, many Outer Realm Cultivators knew their limits.
