Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 345: Nest Building

Outside the pavilion, the sea of clouds churned and surged.

The mountain wind was bitingly cold, dispersing the bloody scent on Su Ming's body but unable to blow away the gravity in his eyes.

He held tightly in his hand the purple jade token representing his identity as a True Disciple. The token was warm and smooth, yet it felt heavy and weighty to him.

"Master."

Su Ming stood at the cliff's edge, gazing at the continuous mountain range looming faintly visible within the clouds and mist ahead. That was the Formation Peak's dojo, and also his future battlefield.

"What's wrong? Scared?" Lin Yu's voice sounded, carrying a hint of teasing. "Weren't you quite the actor back inside? That righteous and solemn look, I almost believed it myself."

Su Ming shook his head, the corner of his mouth curling into a self-deprecating arc.

"Not scared."

He stretched out his hand, looking at the lines on his palm. There was a tiny scar left at Iron Wall Pass. Though already healed, the mark remained.

"I was just thinking... Elder Ma called me a 'rivet'.""Mhm, that's quite a high evaluation," Lin Yu said. "A nail, usually unseen, has to withstand pressure at critical moments. That fits our 'Way of Survival' aesthetics quite well."

"Yeah."

Su Ming whispered softly, "But for a nail to not be pulled out, it must be driven deep enough, deep enough to grow together with this great mountain, with this sect."

He raised his head, his gaze passing over the sea of clouds, looking northward. That was the direction of Iron Wall Pass, also the place where that "Rockheart" insect king lay dormant.

"This year, I have many things to do."

"Foundation Establishment is just the threshold."

"If I don't want to be a sacrificial pawn in this chess game, I must make this nail of mine become a 'formation core' that no one can pull out."
