939: Chapter 940 Primordial Returning to Origin Pill

Pavilion Master Danchenzi abruptly stood up, his crimson-gold robe fluttering without any wind, and his brows were filled with disbelief.

"Speak clearly, which tablet is it? Who deduced it?"

Sweat seeped from the steward's forehead, and he spoke at a rapid pace:

"It... It is the first tablet. That young man looks quite young, and his Realm appears to be only at the reaching-heaven stage." (Slightly modified from the end of the previous chapter)

"The First Tablet?!"

Several Elders in the room simultaneously gasped.

That first tablet had been studied by Tiandan Pavilion for a full three million years, with generations of Pill Dao geniuses striving one after another, yet at most they could only restore sixty percent of its content and were never able to connect the beginning and the end.

The Grand Elder of Tiandan Pavilion slightly frowned and subconsciously spoke, "Could it be a random patch-up, a lucky guess?"

The steward hurriedly shook his head, "This subordinate dares not speak nonsense, but once that Pill Formula appeared, the tablet body radiated spiritual light, and new pill patterns slithered across it!"

Pavilion Master Danchenzi took a deep breath, suppressed the roaring waves in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, to the plaza."

As his words fell, he took a step forward, his crimson-gold pill flames enveloping his figure, and strode out toward the door.

Heavenly Lord Qingming followed closely behind, and a crowd of pavilion Elders hurriedly caught up, a mighty group of high-level figures heading straight for the plaza.

Nine-Tablet Plaza.

In front of the first stone tablet, it was already a sea of people at this moment.

Cultivators three layers deep inside and outside surrounded this area completely, and the people in the back stood on tiptoe yet still could not see the situation inside.

They were so anxious they stamped their feet, while the people in the front each widened their eyes, mouths slightly agape, their faces filled with an expression of disbelief.

On the tablet surface, golden dao patterns slithered like dragons and snakes, and spiritual light flowed endlessly.

A complete ancient Pill Formula was quietly presenting itself there.

"Good heavens, it's truly completed..."

"I've comprehended here for three thousand years, and couldn't even fully comprehend the opening segment, yet now unexpectedly..."

"The key is that it's seamless! Look closely, there's no sense of fracture between the newly repaired part and the original remnant text, as if it were written by the same hand!"

"What kind of technique is this in the end? I completely cannot tell how those runes were connected."

"Don't talk about you; my Master is an Elder of Tiandan Pavilion, and having studied this tablet for eighty thousand years, he still has no clue."

"Who on earth was that person? Did anyone see clearly?"

"I only saw a young man in white clothes who left right after finishing writing, without lingering at all."

"Left? He left right after completing it? This is a Pill Dao bigwig, what did I miss?"

Discussions buzzed within the crowd, with exclamations, guesses, and sighs of regret intertwining, making the entire plaza as noisy as a pot of boiling water.

Just at this moment, a commotion came from the outer fringe of the crowd.

"The Pavilion Master has come!"

"Quickly make way! The Pavilion Master has arrived!"

The crowd parted to both sides like a tidal wave, revealing a spacious passageway.

Pavilion Master Danchenzi walked over with large strides, his crimson-gold robe hunting and snapping in the wind, followed closely by a throng of Elders.

He ignored the Cultivators bowing on both sides, casting his gaze straight toward that First Tablet.

Then, his footsteps abruptly came to a halt.

The runes on the tablet surface were intact and complete, and the golden dao patterns slowly flowed between the lines, emanating an aura that was ancient and of Perfection.

Those places that were once fractured, incomplete, and blurred were now filled and completed by brand-new characters.

It was seamless with the original part, showing not a shred of splicing traces.

Pavilion Master Danchenzi's fingers trembled slightly, gently brushing across the characters on the tablet surface.

"So that's how it is..." His voice was somewhat hoarse.

"The final step of the Taichu Guiyuan Pill is not Fusion, but separation; separating first and then combining, retreating in order to advance—brilliant, truly brilliant!"

The more he looked, the more excited he became, his fingers wandering across the tablet surface, his eyes flashing with a fanatical light:

"The heat control of this step can actually be neutralized with cold-natured medicinal herbs; how did I never think of that."

"And here, the alternative plan for this medicinal herb is simply a stroke of divine inspiration."

He muttered to himself, completely immersed within that complete Pill Formula.

Just at this time, the Grand Elder beside him suddenly stepped forward, his gaze staring fixedly at a line of characters on the tablet surface, his voice even trembling slightly:

"Pavilion Master, look here."

Pavilion Master Danchenzi looked over following his gaze; that was a record concerning the medicinal effects, which had only been revealed after being completed.

He had originally only been busy admiring the exquisite structure of the Pill Formula and had not yet read in detail up to this point.

At this moment, gazing closely, his pupils suddenly constricted: "Taichu Guiyuan Pill, effect: Reshaping the dao foundation?!"

His voice abruptly pitched higher, carrying an incredulous tremor.

This pill can wash away the Impurities within the dao foundation, repair hidden injuries, and even re-polish a damaged dao foundation, causing it to return to a state of Perfection.

In other words, as long as one has this Medicinal Pill, any Cultivator whose Realm has stagnated due to a damaged dao foundation will have the opportunity to recast their Foundation and climb to new heights once more!"

As these words came out, the entire place fell into dead silence.

The breathing of all the Elders grew heavy.

A damaged dao foundation was practically a devastating blow to a Cultivator.

Mildly, their Realm would stagnate; severely, their Realm would drop, with no hope of advancing further for a lifetime.

Within the Desolate Region, countless peerless Geniuses had fallen in obscurity due to a damaged dao foundation.

Yet the Pill Formula before their eyes could actually reshape the dao foundation?!

What did this mean? It meant that if Tiandan Pavilion could grasp this pill, it would be equivalent to grasping the lifeline of Cultivators throughout the Desolate Region and even far-off Realms!

Whether those Prodigies trapped in a Bottleneck due to a damaged dao foundation or old monsters, they would all seek to purchase this pill at any cost!

Pavilion Master Danchenzi's breathing abruptly turned rapid.

He abruptly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding Elders whose eyes were equally blazing, and said in a deep voice:

"Quick! Make a rub of this Pill Formula! Seal it away immediately and store it in the pavilion's forbidden treasury!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several Elders awoke as if from a dream and immediately took action.

Some took out Jade Slips to rapidly copy it down, some sacrificed a Magic Treasure aimed at the tablet surface, and others directly blocked in front of the tablet to prevent the onlookers of Cultivators from peeping.

"Everyone take three steps back!" the Grand Elder shouted sternly, "This Pill Formula involves the secrets of Tiandan Pavilion and must not be leaked!"

The surrounding crowd stirred with commotion; some were dissatisfied and some felt regret, but facing the pressure of the Elders of Tiandan Pavilion, no one dared to say much else and could only resentfully back away a few paces.

Pavilion Master Danchenzi stood before the tablet, his gaze staring fixedly at those golden characters, his fingers trembling slightly.

Reshaping the dao foundation.

These four words were too heavy.

So heavy that even having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he could not maintain composure at this moment.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and turned his head to look at the reporting steward, his voice carrying a trace of hoarseness:

"That young man, in which direction did he go?"

The steward hurriedly pointed toward the south of the city: "Replying to the Pavilion Master, that Young Master in white clothes went in the direction of the south of the city. This subordinate was anxious to report and did not pursue far."

Without a second word, Pavilion Master Danchenzi turned and chased in the direction of the south of the city, and several Elders also stepped forward one after another.

However, having only taken a few steps, Pavilion Master Danchenzi suddenly paused his footsteps as if remembering something, turned back and instructed the Grand Elder:

"You stay behind, personally guard this Pill Formula. After the rubbing is completed, seal off this tablet immediately. Without my token, no one is allowed to approach."

The Grand Elder nodded solemnly, "Rest assured, Pavilion Master."
