Whether Chi Xue and the others or Po Qiong and the others, they all knew that incorporating Heaven Locking Pillars into formation restrictions—especially into the Heaven Sealing Grand Formation—could greatly strengthen the formation's defenses. Stronger defenses would undoubtedly let them withstand the Lord of the Universe's attacks for longer, so they had independently thought of making use of the Heaven Locking Pillars.
However, all the Heaven Locking Pillars that Ling Tian's true body had borrowed from the Tu Clan had already been incorporated into the formation they had set up earlier. That formation was one of Ling Tian and the others' ways of resisting the Lord of the Universe, and at the very least it would let them hold out longer. They couldn't dismantle it and incorporate the pillars into Ling Tian's Externalized Small World instead.
Ling Tian's true body still had many things to do, and most importantly, he had already refined a great many arrows. It was obvious that he would be hard-pressed to refine Heaven Locking Pillars as well, which left Po Qiong and the others deeply regretful.
At that moment, the Creation Divine Tree proposed that Hua Min'er and the others refine the Heaven Locking Pillars. Each of them would only need to refine one or two, so it wouldn't put too much pressure on them. Nor would the need for ample time to refine the pillars be a problem. With the Eastern Emperor Bell's inner space, they could have a thousand times as much time as they would outside. As long as they could get the Lord of the Universe to delay for a little while, they would be able to refine the Heaven Locking Pillars to a very decent level.
At this, Po Qiong and the others grew excited. But Xuan Huang soon realized
