After Ling Tian, Jie Mie Lao Ren also broke through to the peak of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint. Ling Tian and the others were thrilled, because they knew Jie Mie Lao Ren's aptitude wasn't especially strong. If he could reach this level, then Xiao Yaozi and the others could as well. Chi Xue, Divine Emperor, and the other cultivators with better aptitudes certainly could too. By their estimate, at least dozens of them had a chance to reach the peak of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint—in other words, to draw infinitely close to sainthood.
So many people drawing infinitely close to sainthood far exceeded Ling Tian and the others' expectations. It also meant that, when they joined forces against the Lord of the Universe in the future, they would pose an even greater threat, giving Ling Tian a better chance to withstand the Lord of the Universe's cosmic suppression—and ultimately, a better chance to defeat him. No wonder they were so excited.
At this point, though, Chang Xiangsi noticed something: compared with Ling Tian when he had first broken through, Jie Mie Lao Ren was much weaker after reaching the peak of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint. She worried that even after stabilizing his realm, he might not draw infinitely close to sainthood.
The Eastern Emperor Bell, however, was certain that Jie Mie Lao Ren could draw infinitely close to sainthood. His current strength far surpassed that of the ancient cultivators who had reached the peak of the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint. Since those ancients had drawn infinitely close to sainthood after breaking through and stabilizing their realms, Jie Mie Lao Ren naturally could too.
Hearing the Eastern Emperor Bell speak with such certainty, Chang Xiangsi and the others finally relaxed. They knew it understood saints better than anyone,
