CHAPTER 471: CHAPTER 454: DIVINE CULTIVATION REALM

The secret room door opened.

The people waiting outside, who had been sitting for a long time, all stood up from their chairs.

"Master!"

Ling Yu was the first to speak, his face full of excitement.

"President!"

Chang Fei’s voice followed.

"Shi Tao, did you break through successfully? How is it now, have you reached the Celestial Human Realm?"

Elder Tang and the others also asked anxiously.

To aid Shi Tao.

During these days, they tirelessly researched the pill formula and worked day and night to prepare the elixir, the hardships of which cannot be conveyed in a few words.

Shi Tao’s gaze swept over the crowd, feeling touched inside.

"Yes."

He smiled and said, "I have now become a Celestial Realm Martial Artist."

The room fell silent instantly, followed by a voice.

"President, is the pill you condensed a First-grade Martial Arts True Pill?"

Those present were core members of the headquarters, understanding that Shi Tao could have broken through to the Celestial Human Realm a year or two ago if he wanted.

The delay was to ensure a hundred percent chance of condensing a First-grade Martial Arts True Pill.

Perhaps even the legendary Celestial Grade!

"Yes."

Shi Tao nodded again.

Suddenly, cheers erupted outside the room.

Elder Tang and his group were all tearful.

First-grade Martial Arts True Pill.

Even if considering the noble families, Yan Country has no more than half of the Celestial Realm Martial Artists.

Those who have condensed First-grade Martial Arts True Pills are even fewer.

And Shi Tao is one of them.

What an honor this is.

Moreover, the higher the quality of the Martial Arts True Pill condensed by a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, the greater the probability of breaking through to the Divine Cultivation Realm in the future.

Even the current noble families don’t have anyone at the Divine Cultivation Realm.

Does anyone exist in the world?

Maybe, maybe not, as no one has ever seen them.

"Master, that’s wonderful," Ling Yu said tearfully, "I knew that you could definitely condense the First-grade Martial Arts True Pill."

Everyone else echoed the sentiment.

Shi Tao gently glanced at him and then turned to Chang Fei, "While I was in seclusion, did anything happen outside?"

"There was."

Chang Fei quickly replied, "When you broke through, it caused a celestial phenomenon and attracted a lot of attention in the city. The Zhang Family, Liu Family, and other families sent gifts and invitations, hoping to meet you.

The Awakened Association and the City Lord’s Mansion also sent invitations, saying they have prepared banquets, just awaiting your presence. Several Martial Arts Associations sent congratulations, except for the Jiangbei Sub-district Martial Arts Association."

The crowd’s smiles grew wider.

The president’s successful breakthrough naturally meant greater influence for the association in the city.

Therefore, all the powers in the city sent gifts, and even the City Lord’s Mansion and the Awakened Association had become more friendly.

Being martial artists of the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, how could they not be happy?

But upon hearing the last sentence, their faces turned displeased.

"Hmph, the Jiangbei Sub-district Martial Arts Association are truly narrow-minded," Ling Yu was the first to speak, "More than a year ago, when their president Fan Xiao broke through to the Celestial Human Realm, Master personally sent congratulations. Now that Master has broken through, they are too lazy to even say a polite word."

"Exactly, I think most likely it’s because they’re jealous of our president for condensing a First-grade Martial Arts True Pill."

"Of course, Fan Xiao only managed to condense a Second-grade Martial Arts True Pill, I heard there were problems at the time, almost failing."

"Is that true? Haha, it seems his talent is quite ordinary then?"

"Enough."

Shi Tao interrupted everyone’s discussion, his expression unchanged, "Regarding the City Lord’s Mansion and the Awakened Association, Chang Fei, inform them that I will come over later. As for the gifts from others, send them back intact."

"Yes, president."

Chang Fei replied quickly.

He wasn’t surprised by Shi Tao’s decision.

After all, their association wasn’t lacking those things.

"Elder Tang, thank you for the effort you put into refining the elixirs during this time."

"You rascal, why say that?"

Elder Tang pretended to be displeased.

"Indeed, Shi Tao, your words are too distant. To be honest, we refined the True Qi Pills not only for you but also for the association and for Yan Country."

"That’s right, we old men are all advanced in age, seeking out Fierce Beasts in the wild equals seeking death. Therefore, we can only work hard on alchemy, so in the future, you all can kill more Fierce Beasts and avenge the people of Yan Country who died to them." An elder spoke with tears streaming down.

Compared to others, his experience was much more miserable.

Not only his wife and children but also his grandchildren all died at the hands of Fierce Beasts.

"Elder Feng, rest assured, I will definitely kill all those Fierce Beasts outside the city to avenge the deceased."

Shi Tao solemnly said.

"Hmm, those words are enough."

Elder Feng wiped his tears, smiling lightly.

"Shi Tao,"

At the front of the crowd, Elder Qin spoke, "Now that you have broken through to the Celestial Human Realm, even Top-grade True Qi Pills will hardly be of much help in your cultivation, right?"

Upon hearing these words, Elder Tang and the others furrowed their brows.

Indeed, there’s a significant gap between the realms.

Even taking the worst-case scenario, should such pills specifically for Celestial Realm Martial Artist’s cultivation exist, refining them wouldn’t be achievable overnight.
