Book 7: Chapter 329: Leisure (1)

“Mother? You broke through?” Esmeralda looked toward Granny Celest with a shocked expression. Although she was a spirit, she had in fact broken into the dao realm long ago, so she could faintly understand the divisions of power quite well.

When she last saw her mother, a bit more than a half decade ago, she had been a higher dao expert. Although this was something that couldn’t be looked down, even in the outer quadrants, it was still a far cry from being able to move unimpeded. But, the peak dao realm was a completely different beast! Aside from the rare few Higher Existences, they were unmatched!

Even though there was a large difference between Granny Celest’s 10^th dao realm and the pinnacle 12^th dao realm, it had to be understood just how rare even a 10^th dao realm expert was.

Essentially, becoming a 10^th dao realm expert meant that you crossed into the dao realm as a third grade expert at the very least. Such a feat was so outstanding that it completely overshadowed entering the celestial realm even as a first grade expert. It was impossible to compare the difficulty of both feats.

The lowest requirement for becoming a dao expert was the 9^th celestial realm, this would correspond with becoming a 4^th grade dao expert. Obviously, the vast majority of dao experts were of the 4^th grade and thus would never be able to reach the peak dao realm, their cap would correspond to the 9^th dao realm, obviously.

Granny Celest’s breakthrough basically placed her ahead of more than 90% of all dao realm experts. Such a woman could treat the Supreme Kitsune Clan with impunity and kill Jasmine with a single thought.

Obviously, this sort of breakthrough shocked Esmeralda. Taking even a single step in the dao realm was so difficult that cultivators often spent thousands of years filling and tempering a single meridian. Even when Granny Celest said she was entering secluded meditation in order to breakthrough, everyone assumed that this would take her several decades at a minimum, if not several hundred years. Who knew that she would breakthrough so soon?!

Granny Celest smiled, her skin glowing with an added vigor. She was truly breath takingly beautiful at this moment. One would have never thought that she was several hundred thousand years old.

“I’ll have to thank this young lady here?” She said sweetly, looking toward Kawa. “Her breakthrough pulled mine along.”

The celestial beasts were ecstatic at this news. This meant they were one step closer to true freedom. If the celestial beasts birthed a Higher Existence, would they have to hide with their tail between their legs like this? Of course not!

The best part was that celestial beasts were exempt from tribulations. As long as Granny Celest had enough accumulation, she would one day enter that state without issue.

The only unfortunate thing was that the other family heads weren’t nearly as talented as Granny Celest. They too had entered secluded cultivation, but they were only attempting to rush into the higher dao realm, a far cry from Granny Celest.

For Head Tudo, this breakthrough was highly important to her. After all, her current lifespan was coming to an end. If she didn’t breakthrough once more, she would die. Luckily, Dyon’s appearance had raised her spirituality to another level, so the barrier that had hindered her for so many years, loosened.

“Ah, my grandson is here. I missed the visit of Little Zaire, but luckily I didn’t miss this one.” Granny Celest rubbed Dyon’s cheeks, completely oblivious to the fact she looked no older than 20, but was acting as though she had a foot in the grave. “Is this my granddaughter-in-law? Come, let me take a look at you.”

Ri blushed profusely, obediently leaving Dyon’s arms. Because Dyon’s parents died, she had never dealt with such an encounter, so it left her flustered, an appearance Dyon found adorable.

With the occasion being so happy, Dyon called Madeleine, Clara and Delia over. With their arrival came two adorable babies Granny Celest couldn’t get enough of.

It wasn’t long before they had settled to enjoy a great feast. It wasn’t until then that Dyon learned the beasts within the celestial mystical realm were actually array constructions, much like the stair guardians. The reason Dyon could eat them was because they were designed to be eaten. It’s just that the energy fuel one received was artificial.

Dyon was stunned that he had been fooled so easily. It was quite rare for him to not see through a construct of the soul path easily.

But, Dyon wasn’t in the mood to delve into those secrets. He decided to finally let loose and enjoy himself. There was more to spending time with his wives than cuddling with them in bed. He never wanted to lose touch of who they were as people and what they would grow into.

Although the fact their souls were connected gave Dyon a cheat to the thoughts hidden inside the heads of his wives, he felt that relying on this in the long term would make them grow distant.

Noticing this shift in mentality their husband had, Madeleine, Clara and Ri felt their worlds suddenly become brighter.

When Dyon and Madeleine entered the golden flame mystical world, Dyon had to assure Madeleine that he still cared for her. For Madeleine who had never felt uncomfortable about Dyon’s feelings for her, this was a massive shift in her normal thinking.

It wasn’t until now that Dyon realized it was his fault she felt this insecurity. He swore that whether it be Madeleine or Clara or Ri or Amphorae, he would never let them feel such a way again.
