947: Chapter 948 Breakthrough in Seclusion

Gu Changge glanced at the Elders present and suddenly said: "Today's matter is known to all of you, so there is no need to spread it outside."

The Elders were stunned, somewhat puzzled.

Gu Changge said indifferently: "I do not like to draw attention to myself. If the matter of the pavilion's Old Ancestor taking a Revered Master spreads, it will surely attract numerous investigations and needlessly add unnecessary trouble.

For everyone to keep your mouths shut is the greatest respect you can show me."

Only then did the Elders come to a sudden realization and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Rest assured, Young Master, we will definitely keep our mouths sealed and never spread it!"

Only then did Gu Changge nod in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Ancestor Dan Wuya hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It is rare for Revered Master to visit our Tiandan Pavilion; why not stay a few more days?

The best Nine Heavens Pill Immortal Cave on the main peak of the pavilion has already been prepared. It is filled with abundant Spiritual Qi and features an exceptional earth-fire vein eye, allowing Revered Master to practice Alchemy and rest at any time."

"Coincidentally, there is an Alchemy grand competition in the Danxin Hall these few days, gathering quite a few Alchemy geniuses of the younger generation. If Revered Master has any interest, why not take a look?"

Gu Changge originally intended to refuse, but as he casually swept his Divine Sense across, he suddenly caught sight of a figure in a corner, the corners of his mouth curving into an imperceptible smile:

"Very well." He withdrew his Divine Sense and said indifferently, "Then I shall disturb you for a few days."

Ancestor Dan Wuya was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Revered Master is too polite! I will have someone arrange the best quarters right away!"

Pavilion Master Danchenzi, standing to the side, keenly captured the fleeting smile at the corner of Gu Changge's mouth. His heart stirred, and he tentatively asked:

"Just now, did Young Master see someone interesting?"

Gu Changge glanced at him and casually said: "Just an interesting little girl. However, her cultivation is still shallow right now. You can just hold the grand competition as normal; there is no need to give her special treatment."

Pavilion Master Danchenzi understood in his heart and hurriedly nodded: "Rest assured, Young Master, this Junior understands."

But he had already silently noted it in his heart. It seemed that among the contestants this time, there was someone favored by the Young Master—low cultivation, a little girl…

He would have to instruct people to keep an eye out later so as not to let some blind fool offend that distinguished person.

Although the other Elders did not dare to ask more, they also secretly noted this detail.

They were all clever spirits; to be able to reach such a position in Tiandan Pavilion, which of them wasn't a Revered Master at reading facial expressions?

Seeing that matters here were concluded, Heavenly Lord Qingming finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said:

"Young Master Gu, since the Medicinal Pill has already been refined, I shall take my leave first to save my Junior Brother."

Gu Changge nodded: "Go ahead."

Heavenly Lord Qingming did not delay any longer, turning around and flying rapidly toward the quiet room where Celestial Venerable Qinghua was placed.

Hearing that a Nine-Veined Nirvana Pill was going to be used to save the dying celestial venerable, all the Tiandan Pavilion Elders felt their hearts burning with fiery passion. Unable to suppress their curiosity, they all followed closely behind, wanting to witness with their own eyes the miraculous resurrection effect of this peerless Divine Pill.

In the blink of an eye, the vast corridor and main hall were left empty, with only Gu Changge, Ancestor Dan Wuya, Pavilion Master Danchenzi, and a few others remaining.

With no outsiders left around, the respect on Ancestor Dan Wuya's body restrained somewhat, replaced by an intensely burning Dao Heart palpitation.

His body trembled slightly as the shackles that had been dormant within him for hundreds of millions of years completely loosened, countless principles of Alchemy surging endlessly in his Sea of Consciousness.

He stepped forward, bowed deeply toward Gu Changge, his voice sincere and solemn:

"Revered Master, just now your few words of the Dao and a wisp of Dao Rhyme completely shattered the Heart Demon of my Dao Heart that had plagued me for many years.

I have already sensed that the threshold of the Supreme is close at hand. This Disciple wishes to immediately enter seclusion in the pavilion's fire-vein Secret Realm to break through to the Supreme realm."

Gu Changge's gaze was calm, landing quietly upon him with an all-knowing, calm composure.

"Your knot of the heart has been untied, and your Alchemy is transparent. What has trapped you for hundreds of millions of years has never been talent or technique, but your obsession and delusions. Now that the path ahead is unobstructed, it is indeed the best time to break through your realm."

As his words fell, his fingertips lifted slightly, and a warm, pure halo of Alchemy containing Supreme principles quietly merged into the center of Ancestor Dan Wuya's brows into his Sea of Consciousness.

Gu Changge's Alchemy had already reached the absolute heights of the celestial realms. This was the truest Origin of Alchemy, surpassing all alchemical scriptures and classics in the world, and was sufficient to protect him without hindrance in his Breakthrough, allowing him to see through the Supreme Dao.

"Leaving this Dao Rhyme in your Divine Soul can suppress your Heart Demon, stabilize your dao foundation, and steady the fire-temperatures."

Gu Changge's voice was clear and indifferent, every word falling firmly: "In this seclusion, go with the flow. Without obsession, without impatience, without delusion, you will definitely step into the Supreme realm."

A simple, straightforward assertion was a nailed-down outcome.

Ancestor Dan Wuya trembled violently all over, the spiritual power in his limbs and bones instantly boiling and surging. The previously loosened Supreme barrier now completely became fragile, breakable at a mere touch!

The confusion, shackles, and regrets that had accumulated in his heart for countless years all dissipated, leaving only extreme awe and wild joy. He immediately kowtowed deeply, his tone incomparably pious:

"This Disciple thanks Revered Master for the grace of Rebirth! In this seclusion, I will certainly comprehend the Dao with peace of mind and break through the shackles!

Once I successfully emerge from seclusion, I will follow Revered Master for a lifetime and not fail this Supreme fortune!"

With the bow completed, it was heavy and resolute.

At this moment, he was extremely clear in his heart that without Gu Changge breaking his obsessions with a few words and opening the path ahead with a wisp of Dao Rhyme, he would probably be trapped to death at the half-step Supreme realm for the rest of his life, with no further possibility of a Breakthrough.

This Young Master bestowed upon him not only the Opportunity to break through his realm, but also the Perfection of his alchemical remaining life.

"Go." Gu Changge nodded slightly, his tone calm and waveless.

Ancestor Dan Wuya got up, reined in all his emotions, and without a shred of hesitation, he turned to look at Pavilion Master Danchenzi by his side, instructing in a deep voice:

"I am entering seclusion immediately. All matters big and small in the pavilion will still be managed entirely by you. The Alchemy grand competition will be held as usual, no need to wait.

The only thing to remember is to serve Revered Master well. Whoever dares to show the slightest disrespect will be severely punished without leniency!"

"This Disciple will firmly remember the Old Ancestor's instructions!" Pavilion Master Danchenzi bowed to accept the command, his mind trembling in awe.

After finishing his instructions, Ancestor Dan Wuya took one last deep look at Gu Changge. With a flick of his robes, his figure turned into a blur, directly streaking towards the Burning Sky Fire Vein Secret Realm in the deepest part of Tiandan Pavilion, where the earth fire was most intense and the Spiritual Qi was purest.

For ten thousand years, that had been the Forbidden Ground exclusively provided for the Old Ancestor of Tiandan Pavilion to enter seclusion and comprehend the Dao, and it was also the top-tier alchemical cultivation place in the entire Desolate Region.

In the blink of an eye, the stone gate of the Secret Realm slowly closed, cutting off all external movements and falling into complete silence.

On the corridor side, Pavilion Master Danchenzi respectfully accompanied Gu Changge by his side, personally leading the way to settle him in the Nine Heavens Pill Immortal Cave on the main peak. Along the way, he continuously instructed the servants to prepare spiritual tea and Heaven And Earth Treasures, fully equipping all necessary items for cultivation.

Gu Changge's expression was leisurely, casually glancing at the layout of Tiandan Pavilion along the way without saying much.

At this moment, from within the core quiet room of Tiandan Pavilion, an uncontrollable exclamation suddenly came forth—

"He's alive! He's really alive!"

"All the Death Qi is gone! How long has it been? Not even the time of an incense stick!"

"Nine-Veined Nirvana Pill… Such miraculous effects are simply unheard of!"

Heavenly Lord Qingming stood in front of the bed, watching his Junior Brother's ruddy complexion recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the hideous wound on his chest slowly healed and new flesh regenerated.

His breathing also changed from faint to steady and powerful. The whole person stood frozen in place, unable to speak for a long time.

Early the next morning, myriad rays of colorful light filled the skies above Dan Imperial City.

The once-in-a-century Alchemy Grand Assembly finally opened its curtain amidst the eager anticipation of the masses.

On the giant plaza in front of the main building of Tiandan Pavilion, it was already a sea of people.
