Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 237: The Daoist Canon Passed Down Through Generations

Su Ming stood among the crowd, his expression calm. Only the fingers hidden within his sleeves curled slightly.

The bloody scenes before his eyes and Elder Gu He's piercing words did not frighten him into losing composure. Instead, they acted like a bucket of ice-cold water, dousing and waking the last trace of subtle relaxation that might have arisen in the depths of his heart due to his identities as an "outer sect disciple" and "provisional steward."

"Master," he murmured inwardly, his thoughts racing at high speed. "The four-race structure, beneath the balance lies perpetual consumption and conflict. The demon race relies on physical bodies and bloodlines, the ghost race dominates the domain of yin souls, the spirit races are born of heaven and earth with innate affinity for laws, while we humans... appear to have the most comprehensive system, yet our internal consumption is also the greatest. Sects, noble families, dynasties, entangled in endless strife. The power of an individual seems especially insignificant, and especially easy to be devoured, within such grand and chaotic confrontation."

"Insignificant?" Lin Yu's voice rang out, carrying a hint of amusement. "Disciple, your perspective on problems is always so interesting. Consider another angle: precisely because the internal structure of humanity is the most complex, requiring the most precise 'organization' and 'inheritance' to maintain power, the system itself becomes the greatest source of strength, and also the greatest point of vulnerability."

A flash of sharp light gleamed in Su Ming's eyes.

"You mean... while personal valor is certainly important, those who can understand, optimize, or even construct 'systems' might be the truly scarce and powerful force for humanity in these chaotic times?"

"Teachability shows promise!" Lin Yu praised. "Your 'Repair Hall,' your 'standardization,' what you've inadvertently touched upon is precisely this core. You are not simply repairing formation plates; you are building a more efficient, more reliable 'production and maintenance system.' During peaceful times, this is icing on the cake. In this era of continuous conflict and chaos, it is timely aid, the 'infrastructure' that enhances overall survival capability! That old fellow Xuanheng values you, probably not just for your formation talent, but more because he sees this potential value of 'constructing order' within you."

Su Ming's mind suddenly opened up. Many previously vague understandings instantly became clear. The significance of the "scientific cultivation" he pursued was sublimated to an unprecedented level at this moment—this was not only a path for personal ascension, but could also become a tiny variable influencing the survival model of an entire race.

At this moment, Elder Gu He's voice once again pulled his thoughts back.

The gruesome battle scenes on the light screen gradually faded, replaced by an incredibly profound, three-dimensional formation diagram phantom that seemed directly constructed from starlight and Dao Patterns. A mere fleeting glimpse was enough to dazzle the eyes and stir the soul."Ten thousand years ago, the world of cultivation was even more chaotic than today. Demons and ghosts ran rampant, the spirit races secluded themselves from the world, and our human race was weak, its flame nearly extinguished."
