Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 342: Detecting Truth Through the Flames of War

This was a challenge to Su Ming's capabilities.

A mere Qi Refining cultivator, how could he accomplish something even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't?

Su Ming didn't panic.

"Because my 'Spiderweb' was never intended to rely entirely on spiritual energy from the very beginning."

He extended his right hand, palm facing upward. An extremely fine strand of water spiritual energy slowly condensed, transforming into a complex three-dimensional structure.

"The one hundred and eight core nodes of the Spiderweb are all built upon a foundation of Star Pattern Steel, buried ten meters underground. The main formation plate is not powered by spirit stones, but rather... activated by essence blood."

When Su Ming mentioned "essence blood," his face paled slightly—a lingering effect of depleted vitality and blood. "When the Beacon Fire mode was activated, what actually happened was the detonation of all the 'Resonance Talismans' in the sub-formation nodes. This resonance doesn't rely on spiritual energy transmission; instead, it conveys physical signals through vibrations in the earth veins. As long as the earth veins remain unbroken, the signals will not cease."

"Star Pattern Steel... physical resonance..."

Xuanheng murmured to himself, then a burst of sharp light erupted in his eyes. "What a brilliant idea—not relying on spiritual energy! In a place devoid of spiritual energy, this is the only path to survival. Junior Brother Mo... truly did not misjudge this person."

He looked at Su Ming, his tone unusually carrying a trace of warmth. "After this battle concludes, you must properly organize the blueprints and insights for your 'Spiderweb.' In the future, they may prove to be of great use.""The technical hurdle is cleared," Lin Yu reminded. "Next comes the political hurdle."

The blurry figure who had remained silent until now—the one whose body contained vast, surging vitality—finally spoke. His voice was gentle, yet permeated with a profound, compassionate heaviness.

"Fewer than two thousand people ultimately evacuated from Iron Wall Pass. Your Spiderweb covered Bing Battalion and several surrounding defensive zones. How many people did it ultimately save?"

Su Ming fell silent for a moment.

He ran the number through his mind. Behind each digit was a vibrant life, and also a burden he had been forced to abandon on his escape route.

"The Spiderweb guided and assembled a total of two thousand, three hundred and twelve individuals."
