Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 211: Gaining a Glimpse into the Dao of Arrays

It was like an illiterate child suddenly being thrown into a scripture hall containing supreme Dao treasures, facing walls full of heavenly texts.

Dizziness.

Intense dizziness instantly overwhelmed Su Ming.

It was the helplessness of having one's cognition completely crushed, the insignificance and fear perceived by a mayfly gazing up at the vast sky.

"Pfft!"

Su Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying, nearly toppling over.

That divine sense connection snapped with a sound. The hovering black jade slip clattered onto the table, and the formation plate's radiance also dimmed.

"Disciple! Guard your heart, concentrate your spirit!"

Lin Yu's stern shout, like the evening drum and morning bell, forcibly pulled Su Ming back from that endless dizziness.

Su Ming gasped for breath, his hands gripping the table edge so tightly his knuckles turned white. His eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment."Master... what was that? Was that... the true Path of Formations?"

His voice trembled uncontrollably. "It's... too vast. Compared to it, everything I've learned before... is like child's play."

A profound sense of defeat spread in Su Ming's heart. He had once thought that, relying on the "Investigation of Things" method and mathematical deduction, he had already entered the hall of formation arts, even occasionally feeling smug.

But that brief glimpse just now made him fully understand that he had merely touched the threshold of that colossal gate, not even having pushed open the crack.

"Scared already?"

Lin Yu's voice sounded in the Consciousness Sea, lacking its usual teasing tone, carrying a rare seriousness and... a trace of vicissitude.

"Disciple, what you just saw was merely a wisp of the surface of the 'Cycles of the Celestial Stars', a manifestation of the 'Dao' within formations."

"Dizzy? Seeing stars? Feeling powerless?"

Su Ming nodded subconsciously.

"That's right." Lin Yu sighed softly, as if watching a fledgling eagle attempt its first flight. "If it weren't so, that would be strange."

"You need to understand, this path of immortal cultivation is inherently cruel."

Lin Yu's tone shifted, turning slightly cold. "Spiritual root aptitude, opportunities, destiny, and fortune are mostly predetermined by heaven. Your dual water-wood spiritual roots are considered above average. In a minor sect, you might be treasured. But in the Cloud Hidden Sect, before those true prodigies, you are merely ordinary."

"Moreover, your Dao foundation is damaged, and you lack any heaven-defying, fate-altering bloodline inheritance. The road ahead... is arduous."
