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

”Replicated the Devouring Ancestral Symbol?”

As Lin Langtian finished speaking, silence instantly enveloped the hall. Even the worldly Mo Luo revealed a shocked expression.

An Ancestral Symbol... could actually be replicated?

In this world, Ancestral Symbols were considered unique entities. Apart from the legendary Symbol Ancestor, who originally created the eight Ancestral Symbols, even figures as formidable as the Ancient Eight Masters would likely be unable to perfectly replicate one.

Yet Mo Luo clearly understood that both Lin Langtian’s and Lin Dong’s Devouring Ancestral Symbols were unquestionably authentic.

Therefore, Lin Langtian’s words were undoubtedly true.

”You... truly replicated a perfect Ancestral Symbol?” Mo Luo took a deep breath, staring deeply at Lin Langtian once again.

If Lin Langtian indeed possessed such an unfathomable ability, then wouldn’t it mean the eight Ancestral Symbols could be mass-produced, reducing them to common items?

Thinking this, even Mo Luo, as the master of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, felt rather complicated emotions stirring within.

On one hand, as the proud holder of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, he struggled to accept the idea of it losing its unique status. On the other hand, if Lin Langtian could indeed replicate Ancestral Symbols on a large scale, it would greatly boost humanity’s strength and play a crucial role in resisting the Yimo threat.

Mo Luo’s feelings were conflicted upon hearing about Lin Langtian’s ability.

Lin Langtian seemed to sense Mo Luo’s thoughts and gently explained, ”Senior Mo Luo, the reason I could replicate the Devouring Ancestral Symbol is due to a mysterious treasure I possess. However, though it can replicate anything in this world, it can only do so once. Furthermore, it requires a massive amount of energy for each replication. Over many years, I’ve only replicated a few items. During the last replication, this treasure was severely damaged, and even now, it hasn’t fully recovered...”

Lin Langtian was fully aware how shocking the ability to replicate Ancestral Symbols was, so he intentionally hid details about the Golden Spirit Mirror, deliberately limiting its described capabilities and pretending it was damaged. After all, he understood the danger of possessing such extraordinary items.

Although he remembered both Mo Luo and Mu Lan as righteous individuals from his previous knowledge, Lin Langtian couldn’t be certain they wouldn’t become greedy upon hearing his secret. Human hearts were unpredictable, and caution was essential.

Hearing that Lin Langtian’s treasure was damaged and unable to replicate further, Mo Luo and Mu Lan exchanged subtle glances, seemingly relieved.

If Lin Langtian truly possessed a treasure that could endlessly duplicate supreme treasures in this world, the consequences for the entire continent would indeed be immense.

Every clan or sect had their own unique heirlooms; if these were suddenly replicated by Lin Langtian and made commonplace, it would cause enormous turmoil. Thus, although somewhat skeptical, Mo Luo and Mu Lan ultimately chose to believe Lin Langtian’s explanation, which seemed reasonable.

”To think that little friend possesses such a treasure and managed to replicate the Devouring Ancestral Symbol—what an astonishing fortune. Thus, there are now two wielders of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol,” Mo Luo sighed with emotion as he regarded Lin Langtian.

This was truly unprecedented in history.

Mo Luo was actually delighted by this revelation. After all, those who controlled Ancestral Symbols were humanity’s greatest hope against the Yimo threat. Having one more Ancestral Symbol wielder was undoubtedly good news.

”Hehe, little friend Langtian is truly exceptional. No wonder Ling Shan is so fond of you,” Mu Lan laughed softly and added, ”Currently, you might be the only person on this continent who holds two Ancestral Symbols simultaneously.”

But just as Mu Lan finished, Mo Luo shook his head slightly, saying, ”There’s actually another person who also holds two Ancestral Symbols...”

”Someone else?” Mu Lan was startled. ”Who?”

Holding two Ancestral Symbols simultaneously was historically unheard of. Yet now, two people had achieved it at the same time?

”That person is none other than little friend Langtian’s cousin... Lin Dong,” Mo Luo explained slowly, glancing at Lin Langtian.

”Lin Dong? Which Ancestral Symbols does he possess?” Mu Lan asked curiously.

”The Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol.”

”Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol?” At this moment, Tang Xinlian beside them was stunned, her expression doubtful. ”Master, then isn’t the prize of the Thunder Competition you’re organizing...”

”Don’t worry. I have a portion of the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol’s source energy. If one doesn’t inspect too closely, it’s enough to deceive. Lin Dong won the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol from me in a challenge,” Mo Luo explained.

”Master, you lost to Lin Dong? How is that possible?” Tang Xinlian couldn’t believe her ears.

Mo Luo was a Samsara-stage expert. How could he possibly lose to a junior like Lin Dong? Could Lin Dong possess a mysterious power similar to Lin Langtian’s?

”Hehe, it was merely a test to see if Lin Dong could withstand three moves from me. Surprisingly, he actually managed it. If I refused to yield after that, I’d lose face. If Qing Zhi heard about it, he’d mock me endlessly,” Mo Luo said, shaking his head.

”So that’s what happened...” Tang Xinlian nodded slightly, still slightly astonished.

She knew her master’s temperament very well. Mo Luo had certainly gone all out, yet Lin Dong managed to take all three moves. This was astonishing enough to cause quite a stir if news spread.

However, since Tang Xinlian had already witnessed Lin Langtian’s even more terrifying performance in the Devouring Realm, her surprise faded quickly. Now that her mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Langtian, curiosity about Lin Dong quickly diminished.

At this moment, Mo Luo looked towards Lin Langtian, pondering slightly before saying, ”Little friend Langtian, since you’ve obtained two Ancestral Symbols and saved Xinlian’s life, I won’t hide our Flame Divine Hall’s plans from you. Would you be willing to join our operation against the Yimo?”

Lin Langtian immediately understood Mo Luo’s intention and respectfully said, ”If it involves eliminating the Yimo, this junior will do his utmost!”

”Good, as expected of a talented hero!” Mo Luo praised, then continued seriously, ”Currently, countless Yimo are hidden throughout this world, posing a great threat, yet we know little about them. This time, I plan to use the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol as bait to lure some of them out. However, since Lin Dong has already obtained the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol, I can only take a portion of its source and disguise it.”

”I see,” Lin Langtian feigned realization.

”Given the circumstances, until we draw out a significant Yimo, the true nature of this Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol can’t be exposed prematurely,” Mo Luo explained.

”What do you propose, senior?” Lin Langtian asked.

”According to our intel, Yimo won’t reveal themselves easily. They will probably possess human bodies and compete normally, seeking to legitimately win the Ancestral Symbol,” Mo Luo continued. ”Therefore, we must ensure that a genuine human becomes the champion, forcing hidden Yimo to appear and try to seize it openly.”

Lin Langtian nodded, then smiled as he glanced at the alluring Tang Xinlian. ”Winning sounds like Xinlian’s specialty.”

”Xinlian indeed has a chance, but it’s not guaranteed,” Mo Luo shook his head.

Tang Xinlian wanted to protest but held back, remaining silent.

Mo Luo suddenly grew solemn. ”I suspect the newcomer Xu Xiu has issues.”

Lin Langtian quietly admired Mo Luo’s insight.

”Master, if Xu Xiu is suspicious, then having Lin Langtian compete would be safest,” Tang Xinlian suddenly stated.

Surprised by her open endorsement of Lin Langtian, Mo Luo gave her a peculiar look.

Realizing her mistake, Tang Xinlian’s face flushed. ”Master, don’t stare at me. There are others present.”

”Hehe, others, huh? That’s uncertain...” Mo Luo teased knowingly, making Tang Xinlian blush even harder.

Lin Langtian quickly intervened, ”If I encounter suspicious individuals, I’ll handle them personally.”

Mo Luo laughed, approving his attitude. He then warned, ”Be cautious about another competitor—Hua Chen from Yuan Gate of the Eastern Xuan Region.”

Lin Langtian nodded seriously. ”Yuan Gate indeed has issues.”

Mo Luo affirmed, ”If Yuan Gate is linked to the Yimo, we must eradicate them eventually.”

Lin Langtian confidently declared, ”I’m familiar with Yuan Gate. Leave them to me in the future.”

Mo Luo and Mu Lan nodded approvingly. Mo Luo finally laughed heartily, glancing meaningfully at Tang Xinlian and Lin Langtian.

”Little friend Langtian, Xinlian manages Flame City’s enforcement team. Be careful not to provoke her or you’ll suffer.”

Lin Langtian smiled mischievously at Tang Xinlian. ”What punishment would I face for teasing a beautiful woman?”

Embarrassed yet secretly delighted, Tang Xinlian retorted with a haughty voice, ”If caught, death!”

As she walked away proudly, Lin Langtian chuckled, amused by her fiery temperament.

Mo Luo laughed deeply, ”How about it? My disciple’s impressive, right? You two seem compatible in age and talent—perhaps I should arrange your marriage now.”
