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

"Who are you? Where did you get this Qiankun Golden Token?"

The black-armored captain looked at Lin Langtian, respectfully handed him the golden token, and then asked.

Seeing the black-armored captain suddenly become somewhat respectful, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

It seems that this Qiankun Golden Token is not an ordinary item in the Qiankun Sect.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Langtian looked calmly at the black-armored captain and then began to recount the origins of himself and the Qiankun Golden Token.

"Oh, you're from a lower plane." Upon hearing Lin Langtian's background, a look of surprise immediately appeared on the face of the black-armored captain.

After all, in this vast world, it is rare to encounter someone from a lower plane who can break through the shackles of dimensional barriers.

After his initial surprise, the black-armored captain pondered for a moment and said, "Since this Qiankun Golden Token of yours comes from the Song family of Beiling City, it is indeed a gift bestowed by the ancestors of my Qiankun Sect. However, the specific details still need to be discussed with the elders and higher-ups."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-armored captain waved his hand, and a giant portal of light slowly opened behind him.

"Please lead the way," Lin Langtian said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Considering he was merely a second-rank supreme being, an unknown figure in the vast world, it was unlikely that the other party would set up a trap.

Since he was already there, Lin Langtian had become quite interested in the Qiankun Sect.

"Hmm." The black-armored captain nodded, then handed over the defense task to a vice-captain before personally leading Lin Langtian to the sect's higher-ups.

Following behind the black-armored captain, since the other party didn't ask anything more, Lin Langtian simply kept quiet and began to observe his surroundings.

In the sky above Qiankun Heaven, neat rows of lights and shadows occasionally streaked across the heavens; these were the patrolling armies guarding Qiankun Heaven, preventing any unusual activity.

Lin Langtian stared at the well-organized army and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

Every aura emanating from these armies was no less than that of the leaders of the super sects on the Tianxuan Continent. Seeing this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but shake his head.

Indeed, all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.

After speeding along for about half an hour, the black-armored captain finally slowed down.

Lin Langtian looked up and saw a towering mountain that reached into the clouds, its imposing height blocking out the sun.

At the very top of that mountain, a magnificent and continuous palace complex stands.

The captain in black armor gazed at the palace, a look of awe appearing on her pretty face. Then, she moved and landed in front of the most magnificent central hall.

“Let’s go. I’ve already sent a message to the Grand Elder via the jade talisman. He wants to see you,” said the black-armored captain.

"Ah."

Lin Langtian nodded calmly. Although the Grand Elder held a prominent position in the Qiankun Sect, he was used to great things and did not show much nervousness.

Upon seeing this, the captain in black armor couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. As the second-highest-ranking member of the Qiankun Sect after the sect leader, the Grand Elder enjoyed a great reputation even in the Qiankun Continent.

If an ordinary person were to meet the Grand Elder, even if they weren't filled with trepidation, they would at least show signs of nervousness. It's extremely rare to find someone as composed as Lin Langtian.

Although surprised, the black-armored captain led the way, and Lin Langtian followed step by step.

As Lin Langtian entered the main hall, he could vaguely sense the faint yet powerful aura emanating from it, and every now and then, invisible waves would sweep across his body, causing the pores on his skin to tighten.

He knew that some powerful figures from the Qiankun Sect were scrutinizing him. After all, this place was an important area of ​​the Qiankun Sect, and it was understandable that Lin Langtian, an outsider, would be monitored.

"As expected of the Qiankun Sect, it has so many hidden talents."

Lin Langtian sighed inwardly. The aura he sensed was enough to shake him, and he also understood that top forces like this in the Qiankun Continent must have hidden strengths.

After Lin Langtian and his companion turned through several dark corridors, an ancient stone hall came into view a dozen minutes later.

Upon seeing this, the man in black armor straightened his expression and then landed.

Inside the stone hall, Lin Langtian could see the presence of an old man, and a subtle aura, like the awakening of insects in the clouds, quietly emanated from his body.

Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became much more serious. He knew that this must be the true top-level executive of the Qiankun Sect, the Grand Elder.

"Hehe, come in." As Lin Langtian stared, an old man's soft laughter suddenly rang out in the stone hall.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian pondered for a moment, then leaped forward and landed in front of the stone hall. Looking up, the old man in front of him came into view.

The old man in front of them was clearly very old, with deep wrinkles on his face, but beneath that aged appearance lay a terrifying power.

"The Song family of Beiling has finally used the Qiankun Golden Token."

The old man smiled slightly. He did not exude the kind of imposing aura that top experts possess. However, if one looked closely at his seemingly cloudy and aged eyes, one would find that they were as vast and unfathomable as the void.

An invisible yet awe-inspiring majesty that could shake heaven and earth—that was the terrifying aspect of this Grand Elder of the Qiankun Sect.

"I heard from Hei Zhan that your name is Lin Langtian, and you come from a lower plane?"

The old man's cloudy eyes turned to Lin Langtian. Under his gaze, Lin Langtian felt the flow of spiritual energy within his body slow down. Even Aunt Ling completely fell silent, a state that only occurred when encountering extremely strong external pressure.

"Lin Langtian greets Senior."

Lin Langtian suppressed the shock in his heart. He had experienced many trials and tribulations on the Tianxuan Continent, so he did not lose his composure too much. He clasped his fists together, and spoke softly and calmly.

"Hehe, as expected of a prodigy who can break through the shackles of the plane, no wonder the Song family of Beiling was willing to hand over the Qiankun Golden Token to you."

The old man smiled, a hint of appreciation in his lips, seemingly quite pleased with Lin Langtian's demeanor.

"Let me see your Qiankun Golden Token." The old man spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian quickly took out the Qiankun Gold Token from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

The old man accepted the Qiankun Gold Token, his aged hand carefully tracing the patterns on it. After a long while, he sighed, "Has the Song family of Beiling fallen so low that they can't even find a suitable candidate...?"

Lin Langtian remained silent upon hearing this.

Fortunately, the old man did not dwell on his sorrows for long. He looked at Lin Langtian and slowly said, "I am Qian Qiong, the Grand Elder of the Qiankun Sect. The ancestor of the Song family of Beiling was not only the previous Grand Elder of my Qiankun Sect, but also my master."

Hundreds of years ago, our master made great contributions to the sect and died in battle, so the Song family received a Qiankun Gold Token as a reward from the sect.

Unfortunately, the Song family has declined with each generation, so this Qiankun Golden Token has ended up benefiting an outsider like you.

Before Lin Langtian could speak, the old man continued with a smile, "But don't worry, although you are not a member of the Song family, the Qiankun Gold Token recognizes objects, not people, so you can enjoy the rights and benefits of the Qiankun Gold Token."

Hearing this, Lin Langtian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to the rights and benefits of the Qiankun Golden Token, you can serve as the commander of any palace in the Qiankun Sect. I wonder if you have a preferred palace?" Qian Qiong looked at Lin Langtian with his cloudy, aged eyes and said softly.

"Oh, to serve as the commander of any palace?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow. No wonder the black-armored captain showed a hint of awe when he saw the Qiankun Golden Token.

It turns out that holding this Qiankun Gold Token not only allows one to directly join the Qiankun Sect, but also grants access to a high-ranking position.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian pondered for a moment, then directly cupped his hands and clasped his fists towards Qian Qiong and said, "This junior is new here and not familiar with the Qiankun Sect. Please let the Grand Elder arrange things for me."

Upon hearing this, Qian Qiong nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In that case, you shall come with me. It just so happens that Jiang Yatou is short of a commander, so you can fill that vacancy."

Lin Langtian didn't know anything about the 'Jiang girl' that Qian Qiong mentioned, but judging from the name, she seemed to be a woman.

Lin Langtian showed no discomfort working under a woman, after all, the vast Qiankun Sect was just a stepping stone in his mind, let alone a mere commander's position.

Following behind Elder Qian Qiong, Lin Langtian headed northwest of Qiankun Heaven once again.

Half an hour later, Qian Qiong stopped. Lin Langtian looked up and saw a huge mountain in front of him, which housed a continuous cluster of palaces.

Before that palace lay a vast training ground.

At this moment, thousands of figures were meditating on the cultivation ground, and at the very front of these figures stood a woman.

She was a woman dressed in a silver shirt and a black short skirt, beneath which were a pair of long, straight, slender legs that were dazzlingly white.

She had extremely delicate features, with a high and straight nose, thick and long eyelashes, and skin as white as snow. However, although every feature was admirable, what was most memorable was her silver hair.

Her straight silver hair was like a silver waterfall, long, straight, and smooth, captivating the eye.

In addition, the silver-haired woman's beautiful eyes exuded an indescribable purity, and if you stared at them for too long, they could even give you a sense of oppression.

Her expression was somewhat indifferent as she stared ahead, one hand on her slender waist, the other hand resting on a heavy sword. In an instant, a sense of dashing, sharp, and powerful strength swept over you.

This is a woman whose appearance and temperament are both captivating.

At least, many of the cultivators in that arena couldn't help but secretly open their eyes to watch.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the silver-haired girl opened her eyes abruptly, a cold and sharp glint flashing in them. She looked up sharply and said in a deep voice, "Who goes there!?"

In that training ground, everyone looked up warily, their bodies surging with spiritual energy.

"Hehe, Jiang girl is getting more and more amazing." An old man's laughter echoed from the sky, and then two figures slowly descended and landed in front of the palace.

The silver-haired woman stared at the descending, aged figure, and was first taken aback. Then, a rare, faint smile appeared on her usually cold and beautiful face: "Teacher, what brings you here?"

"Hehe, does it mean that I can't come to your esteemed hall unless I have something important to do?" Qian Qiong stroked his beard and smiled.

After saying this, Qian Qiong pointed to Lin Langtian beside him: "By the way, this is the new commander I arranged for your Silver Mist Palace. What do you think?"

In an instant, Lin Langtian felt a sharp gaze directed at him, and his lips twitched slightly.

It seems I'm about to have a difficult palace master to please... (End of Chapter)
