Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 344: The Flame Sets the Foundation

Sect Leader Yun Miao listened quietly, the starry sky above his head swirling, as if he was making a final weighing of the situation.

A moment later, he made the decisive pronouncement.

"Since it is the will of heaven, it cannot be opposed."

As Yun Miao's voice fell, the spiritual pressure within the great hall relaxed.

"By my order."

"Su Ming, at Iron Wall Pass, has rendered meritorious service by organizing defenses in a crisis, by innovating combat methods, and by protecting the inheritance. Three merits to be rewarded."

Yun Miao flicked his fingers lightly, and three streams of light landed before Su Ming.

"First, the 'Border Defense True Seal' shall be temporarily nurtured and warmed by Su Ming. This matter is classified as a 'Heaven-Grade' secret of the sect. Those with knowledge are limited to the five of us within this pavilion today. Should the secret be leaked, regardless of status, it shall be treated as betraying the sect, with the soul banished to the Nine Netherworlds."

As he said this, the murderous aura on Peak Master Xing Yu erupted abruptly, sweeping across the entire hall, clearly serving as a final warning.

"Second, regarding the handling of the True Seal. Junior Brother Xuanheng is responsible for supervision, inspecting Su Ming's progress every three months to ensure the stability of the mark.""Third, personal arrangements."

Yun Miao looked at Su Ming. "Promote Su Ming to a True Disciple of Formation Peak, studying under Xuanheng. Bestow the 'Gazing Star Cliff' Grade-A cave dwelling. Reward with one hundred thousand sect contribution points, three Foundation Establishment Pills, and grant access to the first six floors of the 'Myriad Scrolls Tower'."

Su Ming's heart shook violently.

True Disciple. This meant he had truly entered the core circle. And those one hundred thousand contribution points and three Foundation Establishment Pills were astronomical wealth.

"Many thanks, Sect Leader. Many thanks, Master." Su Ming prostrated himself and kowtowed, changing his address with lightning speed.

"Don't thank me yet."

Sect Leader Yun Miao's tone grew slightly heavier. "In this position, what you must bear is far heavier than you imagine. I give you one year. Within one year, you must achieve Foundation Establishment. If you cannot, for the safety of the True Seal, the sect will take extraordinary measures, even... stripping the mark."

Stripping the mark meant destroying one's foundation, even death.

It is a variant born from the earth veins. As long as the earth veins of the Northern Border are not severed, it retains a thread of life." Yun Miao's gaze was as deep as an abyss, seeming to pierce through Su Ming and see the deeper earth below. "At this moment, it should be lying dormant in some deep, secluded part of the earth veins, licking its wounds, awaiting an opportunity to

"In your future cultivation, if you sense any abnormal underground fluctuations—even if it's just a trace of heart palpitation, a wisp of discordant spiritual energy tremor, or even just a strange dream—you must immediately report it to Xuanheng, or directly send a message to me using your
