The Celestial Being Realm

Translator: CinderTL

Xu Sanyan humbly said, "Hehe, I was fortunate enough to break through a few days ago, nothing extraordinary."

Bai Wuxia nodded slowly, speculating in his heart that Xu Sanyan's cultivation must have been boosted by precious medicines.

It was no secret that Xu Sanyan had been scouring for precious medicines everywhere, and Bai Wuxia naturally knew this. Even so, it was enough to prove that Xu Sanyan's talent was not to be underestimated.

What a pity...

Bai Wuxia sighed inwardly. Cultivation boosted by precious medicines was unstable and superficial. If nothing unexpected happened, Xu Sanyan would likely stop at the peak of the Inner Qi Realm, with little chance of further breakthroughs in this lifetime.

It was like building a towering skyscraper. Most people would lay a solid foundation, building step by step, while Xu Sanyan skipped the foundation. In the short term, his progress seemed rapid, but it lacked sustainability.

Such a waste of his excellent cultivation talent.

Bai Wuxia no longer regarded him highly and picked up his teacup, asking, "Brother Xu, do you have something on your mind?"

Xu Sanyan was unaware of Bai Wuxia's thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He had his own advantages, which were beyond their understanding.

"I would like to purchase a few precious medicines from Brother Bai. Name your price."

Bai Wuxia raised an eyebrow and asked, "The dozen or so you obtained from the Ginseng Gang aren't enough?"

Xu Sanyan shook his head, "Not enough."

"How many does Brother Xu want?" Bai Wuxia didn't press further. Everyone chooses their own path, and Xu Sanyan had already reached a point of no return.

"The more, the better. At least five."

Bai Wuxia thought for a moment, "I have seven in my possession. How about exchanging them for a ten percent stake in your Moon Gazing Pavilion?"

"No problem," Xu Sanyan agreed without hesitation.

"Brother Xu, please wait a moment," Bai Wuxia said, then stood up and left.

In his heart, he found it laughable. Did this man really think he could break through to the Celestial Being Realm just by relying on precious medicines?

How naive.

A short while later, Xu Sanyan left the Bai residence with five precious medicines, filled with excitement. He hurried home and consumed them.

With a thought, a panel appeared before his eyes.

The "Vitality" had reached twenty-three points, and the plus sign next to his realm had appeared!

This meant he could break through to the Celestial Being Realm at any moment!

"The Celestial Being Realm!"

Xu Sanyan was thrilled but decided not to rush the breakthrough. Instead, he made another trip to Zhu Yong's place.

...

An hour later, Xu Sanyan walked out of the Zhu residence, having exchanged the remaining stakes in the Moon Gazing Pavilion and the gambling den for four more precious medicines.

From then on, although the Moon Gazing Pavilion and the gambling den were nominally still under the Guanshan Association, they had effectively been divided between Zhu Yong and the White Horse Gang.

However, Xu Sanyan didn't care at all. If he wanted to, after breaking through to the Celestial Being Realm, he could easily demand half of the stakes from Zhu Yong and Bai Wuxia, and they would surely oblige.

But there was no need. He had already scavenged most of the precious medicines in Taian City, and staying here would only be a waste of time.

Xu Sanyan returned to his secret chamber, instructing everyone not to disturb him. He consumed the four precious medicines, and his "Vitality" increased by another four points, reaching twenty-seven.

With a thought, he initiated the breakthrough!

His "Vitality" rapidly decreased from twenty-seven points to five, consuming a total of twenty-two points!

In an instant, a surge of energy nourished his entire body from the outside in. His internal organs were strengthened, and even his senses underwent a transformation. Xu Sanyan felt as if the world had become entirely different.

His eyes could see what was previously unseen, his nose could smell what was previously unnoticed, and his ears could hear what was previously unheard.

It was as if a thin veil covering his vision had been gently torn open, allowing Xu Sanyan to glimpse another world through this small opening.

His ears twitched, and he heard the voice of Madam Wu scolding a maid.

His eyes opened, and in the pitch-black secret chamber, it seemed as if a light had been lit. Every detail became clear to Xu Sanyan. A single drop of blood left by the five corpses on the ground, which he had previously missed, was now as clear as day.

His nose twitched, and he could distinguish all the scents in the chamber: the lingering smell of blood from the corpses, the earthy scent of the soil, the musty smell of a few martial arts manuals in the corner, and some other strange odors mixed together, making his nose itch.

"Is this... the Celestial Being Realm?"

Xu Sanyan murmured to himself, the novelty of the sensation making him tremble uncontrollably. In that moment, he felt as if he had truly understood.

He had grasped the wonders of cultivation and experienced the joy of increasing his strength, sensations that left him utterly captivated.

Not only that, but his power had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Previously, he could only exert seventy to eighty percent of his full strength, as if an invisible shackle was limiting him.

But now, those shackles were gone. His entire body felt clear, and he was acutely aware of every change within himself.

His mind, eyes, and body were in perfect harmony. Wherever his mind went, his body followed without the slightest obstruction.

"Hehehe... Hahaha..."

Xu Sanyan's lips curled into a smile, which gradually turned into a wild laugh that he couldn't suppress for a long time.

With the cultivation of the Celestial Being Realm and his unparalleled physical prowess, he was practically a human tank.

After a long while, Xu Sanyan finally calmed down and stepped out of the secret chamber. The world seemed entirely new.

"Ah..."

This feeling was simply too comfortable.

Xu Sanyan couldn't help but take a deep breath, slowly closing his eyes and relying solely on his nose and ears to navigate around obstacles as he walked into the courtyard.

Xu Sanyan opened his eyes and turned to look at a corner, silently counting, "3, 2, 1."

Right on cue, Madam Wu appeared around the corner.

From a great distance, he had heard her footsteps and caught the scent of her perfume.

The gap between the Celestial Being Realm and the Inner Qi Realm was far greater than he had imagined, not just in terms of strength but in every aspect.

"Fourth Master, you're out?" Madam Wu approached gracefully.

Without a word, Xu Sanyan scooped her up and carried her into the house, eager to vent his excitement.

Madam Wu naturally knew what he intended, her face immediately flushing red. "Fourth Master, it's still early..."

It was just past noon, but Xu Sanyan didn't care. Soon, sounds could be heard from the house.

"Fourth Master, you... you seem even more impressive..."

Madam Wu was always the first to notice whenever Xu Sanyan's cultivation advanced, as she "deeply" felt the difference.

...

As dusk approached, Big Yellow Tooth hurriedly knocked on the door, "Fourth Master, Lord Zhu has requested your presence."

Xu Sanyan dressed and stepped out, "Zhu Yong? What does he want at this hour?"

Big Yellow Tooth shook his head, "I don't know. His deputy came to inform us and left immediately."

Xu Sanyan thought for a moment and decided to go, assuming something must have happened.

Upon arriving at the Zhu residence, Xu Sanyan suppressed his aura and circled around to ensure there were no ambushes before knocking on the door.

The door opened, and Zhu Yong's deputy led Xu Sanyan to the study, where Zhu Yong and an elderly man were discussing something with grave expressions.

Seeing Xu Sanyan, Zhu Yong quickly waved him over, "Brother Xu, come in. Let me introduce you. This is the County Magistrate of Taian City, Master Lu."

Xu Sanyan was surprised but didn't show it, clasping his hands in greeting, "Greetings, Master Lu."

The elderly man stroked his beard and said, "Young friend Xu, please have a seat."

Xu Sanyan asked, "Brother Zhu, what brings you to call me at this hour?"

Zhu Yong and Master Lu exchanged a glance, their expressions heavy as Zhu Yong spoke, "The White Horse Gang has been colluding with rebel forces!"
