Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 351: Becoming Xuanheng's Apprentice

The hour of Chen had not yet arrived, but the white jade plaza before the Star Pivot Hall was already gilded with a layer of pale gold by the morning light.

Su Ming stood outside the hall's entrance, his head slightly bowed, straightening the sleeves of his robe that already had no wrinkles. He took a deep breath, circulating the Like Water Art, silently smoothing away the slight heart palpitations caused by his impending meeting with the sect's top brass.

"Heart rate seventy-two, breathing steady, divine sense perfectly restrained." Lin Yu's voice sounded in the Consciousness Sea, tinged with a hint of teasing, "Not bad, you've really figured out how to wear this 'honest and simple' skin. Remember, once inside, look less and listen more. This is the brain of Formation Peak, surveillance cameras everywhere... oh wait, I mean recording formations."

Su Ming silently acknowledged in his heart. As the heavy sound of the hall doors slowly opening echoed, he stepped across that high threshold.

With that single step, it felt as if he had entered a river of stars.

The Star Pivot Hall had no dome; looking up revealed a simulated, vast celestial sphere. Countless starry phantoms slowly revolved according to some profound trajectory. In the center of the great hall was a waterfall of spiritual energy cascading down from the void.

That wasn't water, but countless densely packed, rapidly flowing runes.

They fell from high above, disassembling, reassembling, and evolving mid-air, ultimately converging into the Formation Hub core beneath the ground. Each flicker represented one precise calculation of the mountain-protecting grand formation.

Su Ming only glanced at it and immediately felt dizzy, his soul in the Consciousness Sea involuntarily wanting to follow the rhythm of those runes.

"Don't stare at it. That's something only Golden Core realm cultivators and above can look at," Lin Yu promptly spoke up to stop him.Su Ming immediately withdrew his gaze, focusing his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and quickly walked towards the front section of the hall.

Three figures were already waiting there.

"Hey! Su Ming!"

The first to break the solemn atmosphere was naturally Luo Feng. Although this newly promoted Third Senior Brother was wearing formal True Disciple robes today, he couldn't hide his inherently lively and energetic aura. He darted over to Su Ming in a few steps, his smile as bright as a child who had just gotten a new toy, raising his hand to pat Su Ming's shoulder.

"Wait, no, from today we have to change how I address you. Little Junior Brother! Finally got you here!"
