Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

"Langtian, do you want to... break through to the 'Ancestral Realm'?"

Aunt Ling's voice suddenly rang in Lin Langtian's mind, like heavenly music, instantly stimulating every cell in his body, causing Lin Langtian's pupils to shrink slightly.

"Breaking through to the Ancestral Realm?"

Although this was Lin Langtian's most long-cherished goal, it felt as if his secret had been exposed when Aunt Ling suddenly revealed it.

“Aunt Ling, even Ying Huanhuan only has less than a 30% chance of breaking through to the Ancestral Realm. Breaking through to the Ancestral Realm is probably still too far away for me.” Lin Langtian pursed his lips slightly and said slowly.

Although the Ancestral Realm is Lin Langtian's ultimate goal in the Tianxuan Continent, he doesn't have much of a clue as to how to advance to that level.

Ying Huanhuan possesses the bloodline of the Ice Spirit Clan, and with the resources left behind by the Ancestor of Symbols, she has the potential to break through to the Ancestral Realm.

As for Lin Dong, he was another contingency plan left behind by the Ancestor of Symbols. Later, he came into contact with the Spirit of the Plane and broke through to the Ancestral Realm with the help of the Plane's power and Ying Huanhuan.

As for Lin Langtian, he had no clue about either of these methods, so even he wasn't very confident about breaking through to the Ancestral Realm within a year.

"Hehe, you little rascal, you can fool others, but do you think you can fool me? Your goal all along has been to break through to the Ancestral Realm, otherwise you wouldn't be cultivating so diligently." Aunt Ling curled her sexy red lips slightly at Lin Langtian's hypocrisy, as if she could see through his heart.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was also taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from Aunt Ling's discerning eyes."

“Aunt Ling, to be honest, the ‘Ancestral Realm’ is indeed my ultimate goal in cultivation. After all, the Demon Emperor is about to descend. Whether it is to protect all living beings on the continent, to protect my family and friends, or even for myself, I must do my best.”

"To fight against the Demon Emperor, one must reach the 'Ancestral Realm' to be qualified, but I don't have much confidence right now. I hope Aunt Ling can lend me a hand!" Lin Langtian's expression turned solemn as he finished speaking.

From the moment he learned that he had been reborn in the Tianxuan Continent, Lin Langtian felt a deep sense of crisis. After all, compared to the other Dou Qi Continent that he was familiar with, the Tianxuan Continent, which was constantly facing the crisis of alien demons, was undoubtedly more dangerous and terrifying.

Even if the Soul Emperor breaks through to the Dou Di realm, he probably wouldn't completely annihilate all living beings on the Dou Qi Continent. After all, the Soul Clan only wants to dominate, not exterminate them.

But the demons are different. They belong to the evil races outside the realm and are naturally incompatible with the creatures of the world. If they win, then all the creatures on the continent, including him, will live in darkness and uncertainty.

Rather than be enslaved, living a life devoid of dignity and with death looming at any moment, Lin Langtian would rather commit suicide.

Therefore, to avoid such a fate, Lin Langtian's belief has never changed: to constantly become stronger, so strong that no one can threaten him or force him to do things he doesn't like.

With only one year remaining until the arrival of the Demon Emperor on the Tianxuan Continent, Lin Langtian's sense of crisis is growing stronger.

But Lin Langtian knew that he had no backup plan left by the talisman ancestor. At this moment, he could only place his hopes on Aunt Ling.

"Oh, to protect the mainland, to safeguard loved ones, and even for oneself..." Aunt Ling murmured as she heard Lin Langtian describe his goals, before smiling slightly after a moment.

"That's a very simple idea. I imagine that the admirable predecessors in the world also had the same idea as you, which is why they sacrificed themselves without hesitation to resist the invasion of the evil race from beyond the realm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian pursed his lips slightly and fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, he didn't have the same noble spirit of dedication as Fu Zu.

If he were to encounter a situation like that of the talisman ancestor, he might choose to retreat first, and then return once he has cultivated enough strength to kill the alien demon emperor and avenge the dead creatures of the continent.

Lin Langtian has no regrets about this choice.

As Lin Langtian pondered, Aunt Ling's phoenix eyes sharpened, and her alluring voice rang out once more.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that anymore. Putting everything else aside, now that we are connected by blood, I will do everything in my power to help you break through to the 'Ancestral Realm'!"

Although Aunt Ling had a vague idea that the talisman ancestor had some backup plan to deal with the alien demon emperor, a sword held in someone else's hands is never safe.

That Demon Emperor is quite powerful. If the Talisman Ancestor's backup plan doesn't work, Aunt Ling isn't confident she can lead Lin Langtian to survive under that Demon Emperor.

Moreover, as a powerful member of the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow Clan, how could she be content to lag behind others? Since the Talisman Ancestor could cultivate a 'Grand Ancestor Realm' expert, she was naturally no less capable.

"Really? Aunt Ling can help me break through to the 'Ancestral Realm'?"

Upon hearing what Aunt Ling said, Lin Langtian's eyes lit up immediately, and a look of joy appeared in them. He quickly replied.

"This so-called 'ancestral realm' is actually just the supreme realm in the Great Thousand World. This realm might be considered a top expert in a lower plane or some remote place in the Great Thousand World, but it is nothing to me."

Only by reaching the Earthly Sovereign realm can one truly enter the grand halls of the Great Thousand Worlds and have the capital to establish a sect. And I am at that level.” Aunt Ling smiled with a smug smile as her rosy lips curled up.

"Aunt Ling is indeed a Supreme Earthly Realm expert..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's heart tightened. Earthly Sovereign experts were already at the very top of the pyramid among all living beings in the Great Thousand World.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian gave a thumbs up, and then hurriedly asked humbly, "Aunt Ling is indeed amazing. I just don't know how Aunt Ling can help me break through to the 'Ancestral Realm'?"

Although Aunt Ling is a supreme earthly expert, she is not at her peak now, and the Tianxuan Continent is a lower plane. So how can she break through to the 'ancestral realm' or the supreme realm?

"Although the 'Ancestral Realm' is only equivalent to the Supreme Being of the Great Thousand World, neither the Symbol Ancestor nor the Demon Emperor are simple Supreme Beings. With your current strength, if you want to break through to the Supreme Realm, you should first solidify your foundation."

"There's still a year until the arrival of that Demon Emperor. In the meantime, you should first overcome the three tribulations of reincarnation. As for the method of breaking through, I will prepare it." Aunt Ling smiled slightly, keeping everyone in suspense for the time being.

"That's fine then..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Currently, his Yuan Power cultivation is only at the level of ordinary Reincarnation Tribulation, and to break through to the 'Ancestral Realm', he would at least need to advance to the third level of Reincarnation Tribulation like the Eight Ancient Lords.

Otherwise, being too ambitious will come at a heavy price.

With Aunt Ling's help in breaking through to the 'Ancestral Realm', Lin Langtian felt much more relaxed and began to look around.

The final battle against the Demon Prison was originally planned, but it ended because of the crazy actions of the Heavenly King Palace and others.

However, everyone in the allied forces knew that the crisis in the world had not diminished because of the disappearance of the Heavenly King Palace and his group; on the contrary, it had become even more despairing.

Because the dimensional seal has lost its balance, and the Demon Emperor has also broken free of the seal, he is now lurking outside the dimensional seal, ready to descend upon this world again at any time.

And at that time, there will surely be a true catastrophe.

Immediately afterwards, the three allied forces withdrew from the Western Xuan Region. Apart from the truly top-tier experts among them, the rest of the allied forces retreated back to where they came from.

At this point, the coalition forces were no longer of any use.

With the withdrawal of the three allied forces, news of what had happened in the Western Xuan Region quickly spread throughout the entire world. The entire continent was immediately horrified. They looked up at the azure sky, as if they could vaguely sense a destructive figure drawing ever closer in the extremely distant void.

A chilling sense of oppression enveloped the world.

Countless people were terrified, but they did not completely despair, because they knew that the legendary Ice Lord was now doing his best to break through to the Ancestral Realm.

If she succeeds in the end, then this world will be saved once again.

At this moment, the Ice Lord was the only hope that all living beings on the continent could find in their despair.

As for Lin Langtian, after leaving the Western Xuan Region, he returned directly to Tianfu, preparing to overcome the Tribulation of Reincarnation in one fell swoop.

……

Back Mountain of Tianfu.

On a solitary mountain, Lin Langtian sat cross-legged atop the peak, gazing at the surrounding mountain ranges shrouded in mist, his mind gradually calming down.

He then turned to look at Ling Qingzhu and the others who had followed him closely on the cliff edge in the distance, smiled slightly, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The Tribulation of Reincarnation arises from within, without any earth-shattering fanfare, yet it is precisely what every peak Reincarnation Realm expert fears most.

Because once trapped in that cycle of reincarnation, there is no way to escape, and one will forever forget one's true self until the physical body begins to decay and one utterly perishes.

The former Lord of the Dark Temple, Bo Xuan, perished under the Tribulation of Reincarnation, which demonstrates the terror of the Tribulation of Reincarnation.

Simultaneously passing through three cycles of reincarnation is something no one in this world dares to imagine, let alone achieve.

Throughout history, apart from the Ice Lord and Lin Dong, who shared the same idea as Lin Langtian, it seems that no one else has been able to succeed.

As Lin Langtian slowly closed his eyes, the Yuan energy fluctuations surging around him instantly dissipated, and even his aura completely vanished at that moment.

Occasionally, white clouds would drift by, obscuring Lin Langtian's figure. At this moment, he seemed to have completely disappeared into the world, and could not be perceived except by the naked eye.

At the edge of the cliff, everyone saw that Lin Langtian's aura had disappeared, and they understood that he had begun to undergo the tribulation of reincarnation. Zhou Tong immediately waved his sleeve, and a dazzling light shield came over, isolating the lonely peak.

"Now it's up to the Lord of the Manor to decide..." Zhou Tong said, looking at Ling Qingzhu and the others.

"Big Brother will definitely succeed!" Jinwu said with absolute certainty.

He grew up with Lin Langtian since he was a child, so he always had blind faith in Lin Langtian.

Ling Qingzhu smiled slightly and said softly, "This breakthrough will probably take quite a while, so I'll take this opportunity to cultivate as well."

Her cool, clear eyes gazed at the figure that was faintly visible in the solitary peak, and flickered slightly.

I've always left you alone. This time, let me help you out.

With a swift movement, Ling Qingzhu appeared atop another steep mountain peak, sat cross-legged, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, and a mysterious aura quietly spread out...

"Let's just wait quietly from now on."

Seeing this, Zhou Tong sighed softly. All they could do now was wait.

Time flies, and years pass quickly.

Time flows like water, gently passing between heaven and earth, and with each passing day, the sense of oppression in this world grows stronger and stronger.

At this moment, more and more people could sense that the destructive figure beyond the sky was getting closer and closer.

Faced with that destructive figure, countless people in the world began to feel panicked.

If it weren't for the sliver of hope that the Ice Lord, a descendant of the talisman ancestor, still existed, the world would probably be in complete chaos by now.

Therefore, more and more powerful individuals began to head towards the Chaotic Demon Sea where the Ice Lord was in seclusion.

They were eager to know whether the Ice Lord could successfully advance to the Ancestral Realm.

The Chaotic Demon Sea became extremely lively and crowded as a result, especially the sea area where Ying Huanhuan was in seclusion under the great formation. Almost every island was filled with crowds of people.

Those tense and anxious gazes remained fixed on the high sky.

At the center of that massive array, the ice sculpture remained completely still.

Ying Huanhuan was like a bottomless pit, allowing the terrifying energy from the surrounding array to continuously pour in, yet she showed no signs of waking up, which was somewhat unsettling.

……

Time flies, and half a year has passed.

While the Chaotic Demon Sea gradually became somewhat uneasy, the tranquil Tianfu Back Mountain remained largely undisturbed.

The figure atop the solitary peak had unknowingly become covered in dust.

Zhou Tong and the others stood on the edge of the cliff. In the past six months, Lin Langtian's body had undergone considerable changes.

In the beginning, Lin Langtian's body aged at an alarming rate, even his black hair turned gray, and a dense and astonishing aura of death emanated from him.

This scene made everyone's hearts leap into their throats, but fortunately, just as this aging reached its peak, it began to gradually recover.

However, the recovery seemed to be a bit too much. His originally handsome and cold face became youthful and immature, just like Lin Langtian when he was young.

Therefore, in the time that followed, Lin Langtian's body underwent a very strange transformation between aging and youth.

Zhou Tong and the others could also vaguely sense that amidst this wondrous change in appearance, a tremendous transformation was also taking place within Lin Langtian's body.

The reason for this change is likely the trials and tribulations that occur in the cycle of reincarnation.

That kind of training, though invisible and intangible, is so dangerous that it instills fear in anyone… (End of Chapter)
