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

Lin Langtian spread his palm open, revealing a viscous drop of black liquid floating slowly above it.

An astonishing aura of death radiated intensely from within—the very drop of Dark Spirit Liquid gifted by Bo Xuan.

”Let’s see if this Dark Spirit Liquid can propel me into the Death Profound Realm,” Lin Langtian murmured to himself, determination shining in his eyes.

Resolving himself, Lin Langtian slowly closed his eyes, and black strands of energy began to seep from his palm, encircling the floating drop of Dark Spirit Liquid.

Buzz!

As the dark threads wrapped around it, an overwhelming power of absorption erupted fiercely.

Suddenly, the Dark Spirit Liquid in Lin Langtian’s hand unleashed a torrent of immensely pure energy, flooding recklessly into his body.

His entire body trembled subtly, flames of Nirvana flickering around him, reinforcing his physical form and forcing it to withstand the intense onslaught of energy rushing into his system.

As massive waves of energy surged uncontrollably into Lin Langtian, his aura began to rise again, clearly and steadily—even if at a gradual pace.

Inside the Pill River’s dimension, silence dominated, broken only by the occasional subtle humming of Yuan Power from within Lin Langtian, resonating faintly through the space.

Time quietly passed, two full months slipping by unnoticed.

During these two months, the magnificent Pill River continued to float silently, radiating boundless Nirvana Qi endlessly into the surroundings.

At the center of the river floated a black-and-white cocoon, emanating rings of life and death energy.

Within a hundred-foot radius of the cocoon, Nirvana Qi could not exist, as if repelled by the potent aura emanating from it.

Inside the cocoon’s energy boundary, two contrasting visions unfolded. One side brimmed with vitality and vibrant life, while the other lay shrouded in profound death, the space itself appearing dull and gray.

Life and death coexisted, reflecting the ultimate cycle of existence.

Within the cocoon, Zhou Tong had remained sealed since swallowing the Life-Death Wheel Pill, already having spent two whole months undisturbed. Apart from becoming increasingly solid, the cocoon gave no indication of internal activity.

However, judging from the increasingly concentrated aura of life and death around it, it seemed the process was progressing smoothly.

Boom!

Simultaneously, near the banks of the Pill River, Lin Langtian’s previously motionless body suddenly shuddered lightly.

Thump!

The Yuan Power within him abruptly erupted, violently surging through his meridians like twin raging dragons, clashing forcefully at the center of his dantian.

As the collision occurred, Lin Langtian’s body shook intensely. Strange waves spread outward from his core, causing his flesh and muscles to ripple subtly beneath his skin.

Boom! Boom!

The powerful surge of Yuan Power erupted fiercely within him, and amidst this chaotic surge, a faint black strand of energy was suddenly born.

Hum!

At the instant this black strand of energy appeared, the chaotic Yuan Power immediately quieted, gently gathering around it, treating it cautiously, like stars orbiting a precious moon.

As the Yuan Power absorbed this strand of faintly black energy, Lin Langtian instantly sensed a massive surge in his own Yuan Power—so fierce that his meridians strained painfully under the pressure. Yet, instead of concern, excitement surged within him.

He clearly knew this strand represented the Death Qi he had refined personally—his own pure Death Qi!

At this moment, Lin Langtian’s aura had undergone a dramatic change. The purity and depth of his Yuan Power had reached a level comparable to a half-step Death Profound Realm expert.

Lin Langtian slowly rose to his feet, stretching his muscles as his bones popped audibly, experiencing a powerful sensation flowing through every fiber of his being.

Half-step Death Profound Realm!

A satisfied smile spread across Lin Langtian’s face. After two months of relentless cultivation, he had finally broken through significantly, now touching upon the threshold of the true Death Profound Realm.

A half-step Death Profound Realm expert, even among the younger generations on the continent, could be considered exceptional. Though there certainly existed stronger figures, Lin Langtian had no reason to fear them.

He possessed numerous powerful trump cards. Even a full-fledged Death Profound Realm master might find it challenging to truly threaten him.

Although he hadn’t fully stepped into Death Profound Realm Minor Completion, Lin Langtian felt entirely satisfied with his progress. Over mere months, advancing from Life Profound Realm Minor Completion to half-step Death Profound Realm could already be considered astonishingly swift.

Feeling confident about his newfound strength, Lin Langtian shifted his gaze toward the distant Pill River.

Floating there quietly, Zhou Tong’s enormous black-and-white cocoon had become incomparably more substantial, radiating profound life and death energy. Moreover, a faint yet genuine presence of blood and flesh could now be sensed emanating from within the cocoon.

”It should be soon now,” Lin Langtian whispered softly to himself, sensing that Zhou Tong’s long-awaited revival was nearing completion.

Lin Langtian waited patiently, his eyes sharp and vigilant, anticipating the imminent return of a powerhouse—a pinnacle expert of the Samsara stage wielding the Spatial Ancestral Symbol!

Suddenly, the cocoon shook violently, drawing immense amounts of Nirvana Qi from the Pill River, greedily absorbing energy until finally, after absorbing an overwhelming amount, it cracked slightly.

Crack!

A small fissure appeared, rapidly spreading across the entire cocoon. Black and white lights streamed from these cracks, carrying an aura of reincarnation itself.

”Life and Death combined, approaching Samsara. Zhou Tong truly remains a Samsara expert…” Lin Langtian murmured in amazement.

Crack! Crack!

More cracks emerged, until finally, the cocoon exploded spectacularly, revealing Zhou Tong, stepping forward elegantly from within.

Zhou Tong appeared youthful, dignified, clad in pristine white robes. A faint black-and-white hue flickered subtly within his eyes, and an imposing aura of immense strength emanated powerfully from him.

Facing a true Samsara stage powerhouse, even Lin Langtian couldn’t help but feel a slight pressure in his chest. However, Zhou Tong quickly stepped forward, respectfully clasped his fist, and bowed sincerely.

”Zhou Tong greets the Mansion Master.”

Lin Langtian’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. A Samsara realm powerhouse bowing respectfully to him, a mere half-step Death Profound Realm cultivator—such a scene would be unimaginable anywhere else.

Smiling warmly, Lin Langtian gestured, ”Senior Zhou Tong, there’s no need for such formality between us.”

Zhou Tong shook his head gently, calmly insisting, ”Mansion Master, you saved my life. My gratitude cannot be overstated. From this day forward, you are my Mansion Master, and this fact cannot be altered. I request you simply call me Zhou Tong; addressing me as senior would be inappropriate.”

Moved by Zhou Tong’s sincerity, Lin Langtian nodded and took out a glowing silver symbol, presenting it solemnly. ”Very well, Elder Zhou. Here, I return the Spatial Ancestral Symbol to its rightful master.”

Zhou Tong hesitated slightly, then gently refused, ”Mansion Master, after these years of corruption by demonic Qi, though revived, I no longer feel worthy of the symbol. It would serve better in your hands.”

Lin Langtian smiled calmly, then held up another identical silver Spatial Ancestral Symbol.

Seeing two identical symbols, Zhou Tong was immediately stunned, exclaiming in disbelief, ”How can this be?! Another Spatial Ancestral Symbol!”
