"Huff..."
Chen Qiu took a deep breath and then, looking satisfied, he crossed his legs and sat on the Xuantian Throne. He began to cultivate with the mental method, having tasked Xiong Gao with the capture of demon beasts. Once a sufficient number had been captured, he would emerge to slowly increase the volume of his own Little Ant.
Cultivation required one's full and undivided attention; it was impossible to split focus.
To cultivate on the one hand, and do something else on the other.
And the command to have the Little Ant attack the demon beasts needed to be given by him. Once a demon beast died, he had to issue another order for the Little Ant to attack the next one. He had to personally oversee the entire process, which was incompatible with cultivation.
It would cause a bit of a delay.
