209: Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill

"Virtue is not worthy of the position?" Di Tianxiao repeated, a cold, hard arc pulling at the corner of his mouth, his eyes sharp as spears.

"Grand Elder, you are trapped by yourself, getting stuck in a rut."

Di Chenyuan's breathing stabilized slightly. Hearing this, he suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Di Tianxiao.

"Do you think," Di Tianxiao stood up, his burly figure like an iron tower, instantly bringing a stronger sense of oppression, "that this giant ship of a Family only needs the sharpest spear and the strongest shield to cut through waves and reach the other shore?"

He walked up to Di Chenyuan, staring at him with burning eyes, "Wrong!"

"The spear must naturally be sharp! The shield must naturally be strong!"

"But, is only having a spear and a shield enough?"

He stretched out a finger and tapped Di Chenyuan's chest. The force wasn't heavy, but it made Di Chenyuan's heart skip a beat.

"The Family is a whole! A massive, precise, constantly operating whole! The Clan Chief is the helmsman of this great ship, and his gaze is fixed on the Di Clan's immortal grand blueprint!"

"And we Elders, we core members, are the keel and rivets that support the rudder, maintain the hull, and ensure every component operates precisely!"

"The Clan Chief trusts you, and we are convinced by you, which is why the Clan Chief entrusted such an important position to you!"

His gaze was like lightning: "What I, Di Tianxiao, am good at is charging into battle! Give me a target, give me a battlefield, and I can poke a hole in the sky! But put me in your position, dealing with those red tape and leading the Family? Within three days, I'd either smash the table and storm off, or forcibly suppress everyone with martial power, leading to widespread resentment and disunity!"

"Qian Jie and the others? Even more so! They are uniquely gifted and possess higher ambition. Letting them handle Family trivialities is no different from trapping a Dragon in a shallow pool, stifling their edge!"

Di Tianxiao's voice was decisive: "Grand Elder, positions have no hierarchy of high or low, only suitability! The Clan Chief possesses great talent and strategy, his vision is like a torch. Putting you in the position of Grand Elder is precisely because he values your stability, your experience, and your Heart-Nature of silently dedicating yourself to the Family and willingly serving as the foundational cornerstone behind the scenes! This is your unique 'Virtue'!"

"It is your greatest contribution to the Family! The value of this contribution is absolutely no less than any powerful enemy I slay on the battlefield!"

He picked up the wine jar and refilled the cups for himself and Di Chenyuan. The crimson liquid poured into the cups, looking like boiling hot blood.

"As for cultivation?" Di Tianxiao raised his cup and clinked it heavily against the cup in front of Di Chenyuan, producing a clear ringing sound.

"What's the hurry? The Family's resources are incomparable to the past! The Clan Chief even holds a Heaven-Defying marvelous technique like the Myriad Realms Return to Origin Scripture!"

Once the Family's Foundation is more stable, accumulating strength before erupting, you might not necessarily fail to catch up later!

Your current Foundation is precisely the most solid guarantee for your future Breakthrough!

If you rush to attack due to temporary anxiety and damage your Foundation, that would be truly counterproductive, and truly irresponsible to the Family!"

Di Chenyuan stared blankly at the wine liquid violently shaking and then slowly settling in the cup. Di Tianxiao's words exploded like thunder in his stagnant heart lake.

The accumulated anxiety and unwillingness were shattered by this forceful and essential analysis.

Subconsciously, he tightened his grip on the black jade token at his waist again.

This time, the warm, smooth feeling was no longer scalding; instead, it conveyed a strange, heavy warmth, as if resonating with the loyalty and responsibility to the Family deep within his Bloodline.

That's right... Qian Jie and the others are sharp and exposed, the Family's keen swords and daggers;

Tianxiao is unparalleled in bravery, the Family's steel bastion;

And himself... Di Chenyuan's gaze swept over the mountain of Jade Slip Scrolls piled on the desk, which recorded the Family's daily operations and the context of every decision... Perhaps he was the bond and cornerstone that maintained the keen edge of the sword and the unwavering Foundation of the bastion?

A clarity he had never experienced before, like moonlight breaking through dark clouds, gradually illuminated his gloomy state of mind.

The confusion and dejection in his eyes rapidly faded, like dust scattered by a fierce wind.

Although the pressure brought by the difference in cultivation still existed, the suffocating shackles of "Virtue is not worthy of the position" crumbled at this moment.

He took a deep breath, and the stale air accumulated in his chest seemed to be exhaled with it.

When he looked up again, his eyes had regained their former composure and depth, even adding a trace of clarity and determination after being cleansed.

He picked up the wine cup that Di Tianxiao had clinked, held it with both hands, and nodded solemnly to Di Tianxiao.

"Tianxiao, these words are like a sudden enlightenment, deafeningly clear." Di Chenyuan's voice was calm and powerful, carrying the relief of having shed a heavy burden and a newly anchored resolve.

"It was I... who was too fixated. Thank you."

Di Tianxiao grinned, showing a heroic smile, and raised his own cup: "That's right! Come, let's drain this cup! For the Family!"

"For the Family!" Di Chenyuan responded in a deep voice, tilting his head back and draining the strong liquor in the cup.

This time, the burning sensation was no longer pain, but rather like a searing power injecting itself into his limbs and bones.

Deep within the Di Divine Palace, Di Shenglong sat cross-legged.

His tightly closed eyes slowly opened. There was no dazzling divine light in his eyes, only a profound, abyss-like tranquility.

However, beneath this tranquility flowed a mighty power capable of overturning all the heavens and myriad realms.

Just now, the conversation between Di Tianxiao and Di Chenyuan was clearly reflected in his vast perception.

On his placid face, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Grand Elder..." Di Shenglong murmured.

How could he not know the dedication, effort, and struggles of this Grand Elder who had been diligent and hardworking since he took the helm of the Di Clan?

The Family is like a giant ship surging forward, the younger generation of Geniuses are the sharp battering rams and the billowing sails, and Di Chenyuan is the keel that silently endures the impact of the huge waves and maintains the stability of the hull.

If the keel were to become anxious, wavering, or even rot due to its own quality, it would be a catastrophic hidden danger for the entire giant ship.

"Cultivation stagnant... sixth layer of Purple Mansion..." Di Shenglong lightly tapped the Void Realm with his fingertip. A screen of light condensed from pure Space-Time Law appeared, clearly reflecting the state of spiritual power circulation within Di Chenyuan's body, which was obscure and difficult, as if bound by layers of invisible chains.

"Although the Foundation is thick, the constraints have formed. Ordinary Medicinal Pills and spiritual lands are merely a drop in the bucket for the Grand Elder."

The Grand Elder's Cultivation Talent is not very strong.

Di Shenglong's thoughts changed in an instant. Information on countless plans, Secret Techniques, and Heaven And Earth Treasures flowed, collided, and filtered rapidly in his Sea of Consciousness.

Finally, a name emerged like a stabilizing divine needle—the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Dao-Shaping Pill!

This Medicinal Pill is ranked Quasi-Emperor Level!

Its effect can be called Heaven-Defying. It doesn't forcefully raise cultivation, but fundamentally reshapes the Dao Foundation, breaking the constraints of life levels. Like a Phoenix undergoing Nirvana and Rebirth from fire, it allows the user to be completely transformed and their Aptitude to leap forward!

Once this Medicinal Pill is completed, Di Chenyuan's seemingly solid Bottleneck will be utterly burned away like rotten wood, and his potential, accumulated through long effort, will erupt like a volcano!

However, Heaven-Defying effects must be accompanied by Heaven-Defying difficulties.

The Materials required to refine this Medicinal Pill number twenty in total. Every single one is a rare treasure, hard to trace, and several types only exist in legendary Forbidden Lands and Restricted Areas.

A few of the Main Ingredients are:

Nether Blood Lotus: Only grows in the core of the extremely Yin and filthy Nine Nether Yellow Springs. It requires absorbing the essence of billions of Resentful Souls to mature, containing the Opportunity for life and death reversal.

Chaos Origin Stone: Born in the Chaos Singularity when the heaven and earth first opened and Laws were unsettled. It contains the most primitive power of creation, is incredibly solid, and difficult to mine without the power of a Great Emperor.

Solar True Fire Essence: Not ordinary solar fire. It must be the supreme Yang essence condensed after billions of years of precipitation at the core of a Divine Emperor-level solar Origin, utterly overbearing.

Star Tear: A strange crystallization born by chance at the moment of destruction, when a star is annihilated and its core collapses to the extreme.

Nether Dragon soul crystal: A supreme Soul Dao treasure that can only condense in specific Nether Forbidden Lands after an ancient pure-blooded Nether Dragon perishes, extremely ferocious.

Creation Azure Lotus Seed: The fruit borne by the legendary Innate Spiritual Root, the Creation Azure Lotus. It contains infinite vitality and creation, capable of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh and bones, and reshaping the Dao Foundation.

These Main Ingredients are hard to find, which is why the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Dao-Shaping Pill is called an Extinct Medicinal Pill!
