Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character

The ancient battlefield, Sun City.

Today, Sun City was as bustling as ever, with people flowing in and out, a testament to its prosperity. Yet, everyone within its walls understood one thing—Sun City now had a ruler.

And that ruler was none other than the newly risen powerhouse in the Northwestern Region, the Flame Alliance. Formed initially by several low-tier kingdoms, the Flame Alliance had, in a matter of mere weeks, taken down multiple mid-tier and even high-tier kingdoms. The once-dominant Magma Rock Dynasty had also fallen.

At the city gates hung the corpses of Shi Kun and his brother. Those passing by felt an instinctive fear, solidifying the Flame Alliance’s control over Sun City, a reign now accepted by all.

Rumor had it that even Violent Wolf Tian Zhen, one of the Four Great Powers of the Northwestern Region, had suffered a heavy loss at the Flame Alliance’s hands. As news of this spread, the Alliance’s prestige grew even stronger.

In a stone chamber within the Flame Alliance estate, a fiery glow filled the room. Torrents of Nirvana Qi, pulsing like scarlet columns of light, circled above Lin Langtian, creating a surge of energy so intense it was nearly palpable.

Lin Langtian sat calmly in the center of the torrent.

Since the Flame Alliance had secured its rule over Sun City after eliminating the Magma Rock Dynasty and repelling Tian Zhen, Lin Langtian had left its administration to Mo Ling, retreating to his stone chamber to focus on cultivation. The generous spoils he had taken from Tian Zhen were too valuable to let sit idle, and he was absorbing their power.

Under Lin Langtian’s leadership, the once-small Flame Alliance had grown into a formidable powerhouse. With Sun City under its control, the Alliance prospered, gaining vast riches from trade and demon-hunting activities, yielding an incredible ten thousand Nirvana Pills daily and a steady stream of demon crystals.

A significant portion of the Flame Alliance’s wealth naturally flowed to Lin Langtian as its leader. Over the past month, Mo Ling had frequently sent messengers with Nirvana Pills and demon crystals for his use.

In this brief period, Lin Langtian’s absorption of Nirvana Qi was enough to rival the wealth of ten Great Yan Kingdoms!

This was the terror of the ancient battlefield—a place where great power came with limitless resources.

In the chamber, Lin Langtian’s body glowed a deep red, radiating a searing heat that softened even the walls nearby. Above him, a black vortex spun slowly, drawing in torrents of Nirvana Qi from the Nirvana Pills and demon crystals, which were devoured and refined rapidly.

This refined energy then surged into the Nirvana Energy Reservoir in Lin Langtian’s dantian.

The amount of Nirvana Qi he was devouring was close to a million Nirvana Pills—a tremendous amount. Typically, breaking into the Nirvana stage required around twenty or thirty thousand Nirvana Pills, yet Lin Langtian was pouring nearly a million into his Nirvana Energy Reservoir.

Even with the aid of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, consuming this much Nirvana Qi was no simple task, and Lin Langtian’s main concern was whether his body could withstand the sheer force of this energy influx.

However, thanks to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the volatile Nirvana Qi became tamer. Moreover, Lin Langtian’s connection with Ling Yi had granted him the Nine Serenity energy, infused with Nine Serenity Fire, which further suppressed the wild Nirvana Qi, allowing the Nirvana Energy Reservoir to absorb it without incident.

After completely absorbing the near-million Nirvana Pills’ worth of Nirvana Qi, Lin Langtian finally opened his eyes, their fiery red glow resembling smoldering embers.

Exhaling a fiery breath, he burned the air in front of him to nothingness.

”Not bad,” he muttered with satisfaction, feeling his mastery over the Devouring Ancestral Symbol had allowed him to absorb energy at an increasingly efficient pace.

Stretching leisurely, Lin Langtian rose to his feet, feeling revitalized. Since destroying the Magma Rock Dynasty, he had refrained from venturing out, opting to continue his secluded cultivation instead. Between the resources from Tian Zhen’s payment and the Flame Alliance’s constant supplies, Lin Langtian had consumed Nirvana Qi without restraint for the past month.

This intense cultivation had indeed yielded great progress.

With a deep breath, he turned his focus inward, letting his mind sink into the Nirvana Energy Reservoir in his dantian. The reservoir had expanded, filling with dense, liquid-like Nirvana Qi that formed a small lake.

Each drop in this lake, Lin Langtian realized, was as potent as ten thousand Nirvana Pills.

A flicker of excitement crossed his face. He felt that if he fully absorbed the contents of this Nirvana Energy Reservoir, he could not only achieve a full breakthrough to Nirvana but also surpass it to reach the first refinement of Nirvana.

Even so, he restrained himself, setting his sights beyond this initial breakthrough. Knowing his Nirvana Energy Reservoir could bypass regular restrictions, he aimed to accumulate even more power for an even greater leap.

Once the journey to the ancient ruins concluded, Lin Langtian’s next destination was the Central Region. But to survive there, he knew he needed the power of the Third Refinement Nirvana stage at a minimum.

As he thought about the ancient ruins, Lin Langtian realized the time for their opening was close. Emerging from his chamber, he prepared himself. After a month of stillness, it was time for the Flame Alliance to mobilize again.
