Chapter 1637 - Leisure (1) (1/2)
”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 10th dao realm and the pinnacle 12th dao realm, it had to be understood just how rare even a 10th dao realm expert was.
Essentially, becoming a 10th 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 9th celestial realm, this would correspond with becoming a 4th grade dao expert. Obviously, the vast majority of dao experts were of the 4th grade and thus would never be able to reach the peak dao realm, their cap would correspond to the 9th 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 acc.u.mulation, 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.
