Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 450: Rune Enlightenment

Su Ming rubbed his numb wrist, but there was not a trace of discouragement in his eyes, only a bright flash of excitement.

Elder Qingquan’s words echoed in his ears: “You can contemplate the formation, it will benefit your current stage.”

If you can’t go through the gate, then strip what’s on the gate!

Su Ming stopped trying to probe the stone gate and instead walked to a flat boulder three zhang away, lifted his long robe, and sat cross-legged.

He fully projected his divine sense outward, no longer focusing on the surface-level ancient seal scripts, but instead observing, through the characters, the trajectories and nodes of the dark-golden spiritual energy flowing inside the gate.

Fifteen minutes later.

A smile tugged at the corner of Su Ming’s mouth.

Su Ming stared intently at the stone gate, “On the surface, these ancient seal scripts look chaotic and random. But if you strip them away and only look at the skeleton of the spiritual energy flows… this is an extremely ancient composite array, the Nine-Lock Linked Ring Formation.”

It was a terrifying structure that nested nine independent lock-type confinement arrays together through exquisitely interwoven nodes. Tug on one thread and the whole system responds; if one is forcibly broken, the other eight arrays multiply the backlash of destructive force.

“Even if I can’t enter, the structure of this formation itself is the perfect textbook.”Without hesitation, Su Ming opened his storage pouch, flipped his wrist, and two jade slips dropped into his palm.

They were two core volumes from the long reading list Master Xuanheng had given him—Analysis of Ancient Runes and Three Thousand Questions on the Path of Formations.

Su Ming pressed the jade slips to his forehead, and the vast stream of information unfurled rapidly in his Consciousness Sea.

He lifted his head, comparing the obscure formation theory in the jade slips while staring fixedly at the formation lines flowing across the huge stone gate.
