Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 389: Arrival of the Purple Robe

The core of this formation plate was a set of veins designed to guide spiritual energy in an instantaneous burst. But Luo Feng's design was too complex; within an extremely small space, he had crammed in seventeen different runes with distinct functions. In the pursuit of ultimate power, their spiritual energy pathways overlapped and intertwined, making the whole assembly trigger at the slightest touch.

It was like trying to squeeze seventeen massive ships into a narrow river channel at once—the result would be mutual congestion, ending in the destruction of both ships and men.

"Third Senior Brother, your 'spiritual energy vein' design has too many nodes. The spiritual energy can't flow through, so it's no wonder it blew up." Su Ming said helplessly.

"Is that so?" Luo Feng leaned in, his face full of eagerness to learn. "But I thought that with greater power, the structure had to be more complex! Look at those ancient killing formations—which one doesn't have runes stacked on runes and formation lines layered on formation lines?"

Su Ming shook his head. This line of thinking wasn't necessarily wrong, but it had to be judged case by case.

Without much explanation, he sat cross-legged, placed the formation plate fragments on his lap, and took out a rune brush and some blank formation plate materials from his storage pouch.

He spent a full hour.

During that hour, he didn't add a single new rune; instead, he subtracted.

From Luo Feng's original seventeen runes, he cut nine, keeping only the eight most fundamental runes—"Gather," "Burn," "Burst," and the like. Then, he redesigned the spiritual energy circuits, streamlining the original chaotic, interlocking lines into clear pathways that flowed like several non-interfering streams, finally converging at a single point.

Throughout the process, Luo Feng crouched beside him, now scratching his head, now slapping his thigh in sudden epiphany, muttering under his breath: "So that's how it's done..." "What a brilliant idea!"When Su Ming made his final stroke, a new, much simpler-looking formation plate was complete.

"Try it." Su Ming handed the formation plate to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng took it carefully, as if holding some priceless treasure. He took a deep breath, inserted a new spirit stone, and infused a thread of spiritual energy into it.

The formation plate lit up, its glow gentle and steady.

The expected explosion didn't happen.
