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

After the victory banquet, Lin Langtian did not leave Yinlan Palace for nearly ten days.

He shut out all the outside distractions and entered the cultivation room again to cultivate in seclusion.

He looked at the jade slip in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile.

On the jade slip, some characters were flashing with light.

Ten drops of ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex blood essence.

Ten drops of the Devouring Beast's essence blood.

Ten drops of golden lion essence blood.

……

The jade slip contained the essence blood of nearly ten divine beasts. These divine beasts were all renowned in the Great Thousand Worlds, and their essence blood was extremely rare and expensive.

These ten kinds of divine beast blood essences are essential for him to cultivate the Dragon Kun Divine Technique, but for Lin Langtian now, this is obviously a huge burden.

"It seems I absolutely must secure the position of the tenth king of the Qiankun Sect," Lin Langtian said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Only by obtaining the title of the Tenth King can he gain a foothold in the Qiankun Sect and, with the help of the sect's resources, acquire the essence and blood of these divine beasts.

Otherwise, relying on his personal strength, it would probably take him forever to collect the essence blood of these ten divine beasts.

With that thought in mind, he put away the jade slip and began to focus on his cultivation.

……

While Lin Langtian chose to block out interference and cultivate in seclusion, news about him began to spread throughout the Qiankun Continent, quickly causing quite a stir.

After all, this is the first time in all the years since the Dragon Kun Realm opened that someone has been able to pass through the tenth step of the Dragon Kun Ladder. How could this not surprise countless powerful figures on the Qiankun Continent?

Moreover, their astonishment intensified when they learned that Lin Langtian's strength had only just advanced to the fourth-grade supreme level, and that he had achieved astonishing feats such as defeating Liu Tianxing and repelling Huang Buxiu.

As Lin Langtian's name continued to circulate throughout the Qiankun Continent, the fervor that arose within the Qiankun Sect began to gradually subside, replaced by an even more eye-catching event.

That is the 'King Conferment Ceremony'.

To the many powerful figures of the Qiankun Sect, this was clearly an event that was far more attractive to them than the 'Dragon Kun Realm'.

Because of this royal sacrifice, they have a very clear interest in it.

The Qiankun Sect has a vast territory and numerous powerful figures under its command. However, as an established force, the Qiankun Sect also maintains a strict hierarchy.

The sect leader oversees the entire situation, with three venerables, nine kings, numerous commanders, city lords, and affiliated forces under his command.

Within the Qiankun Sect, an increase in status means an increase in the resources and position one enjoys.

The Three Venerables are three elders with extraordinary strength. They must possess at least the strength of a seventh-grade Supreme to be eligible to sit on the elder's seat and assist the sect leader. Therefore, very few people in the Qiankun Sect have such qualifications.

The title of King is also highly coveted in the Qiankun Sect, because becoming a King grants the right to form one's own army.

Not only can they obtain a large amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid from the Qiankun Sect every year, but they can also distribute many cities. When they usually wage war to attack other forces, the proportion of spoils they have to hand over will be much less than that of other city lords and affiliated forces.

Therefore, within the Qiankun Sect, countless powerful individuals covet that King-level status.

However, according to the rules, to be crowned a king, one must possess the strength of a fifth-rank supreme being.

Even the youngest King-level expert, Jiang Yinlan, aside from her status as a disciple of the Grand Elder, is able to hold her position mainly because she possesses the strength of a Fifth-Rank Supreme. Otherwise, King Yinlan would not be one of the Nine Kings.

Other powerful individuals, however, clearly lacked such backgrounds, and thus could only compete based on their own strength.

The Conferment Ceremony is the ceremony for conferring titles upon kings, which gives an idea of ​​just how significant this grand event is within the Qiankun Sect.

Therefore, while the outside world was still discussing Lin Langtian's deeds, all the powerful figures under the Qiankun Sect began to turn their attention to the upcoming King Conferment Ceremony.

If they successfully become kings, their status in the Qiankun Sect will soar to new heights.

Thus, amidst the eager anticipation of countless powerful figures, the grand coronation ceremony arrived as scheduled.

……

call out!call out!
Today will undoubtedly be the most lively time of the year.

The overwhelming light and shadow swept in from the horizon, finally falling into the heavens like locusts.

The guards in Qiankun Heaven became even more stringent during this time.

The armies of the various kings were all assisting in maintaining order to prevent riots from breaking out during such a grand event, which would only embarrass the Qiankun Sect if word got out.

However, judging from the grand spectacle, this King Conferment Ceremony truly lived up to its reputation as the most popular event in the Qiankun Sect, and it was clear that all the powerful figures were extremely interested in it.

After all, everyone wants to know who will become the tenth king of the Qiankun Sect.

Silver Mist Palace.

Outside the cultivation room, two beautiful figures stood. The one in front, with her slender and sexy figure, was naturally Jiang Yinlan, while behind her was Mu Honglian, who wore a tight-fitting red dress that accentuated her curves and made her look elegant.

At this moment, the latter was looking at the still closed cultivation room with her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, and said, "The King Conferment Ceremony is about to begin, why isn't Lin Langtian coming out yet?"

Jiang Yinlan smiled calmly and said, "Everything needs to be prepared, after all, seizing the title of the Tenth King is no easy task."

"But Sister Yinlan, what will happen to our Yinlan Palace if Lin Langtian really becomes king?" Mu Honglian said in a voice barely above a whisper.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yinlan was also taken aback. Lin Langtian had now become the spiritual standard-bearer of Yinlan Palace. If he were to establish himself independently, it would be a significant blow to Yinlan Palace.

"Don't worry, Commander Mu. Even if I become king, I will still be serving in the Qiankun Sect. Yinlan Palace will always be my home in the Qiankun Sect. I will not abandon it."

At that moment, the tightly closed cultivation room suddenly opened, and a laugh came from inside. Lin Langtian stepped out and smiled at the two beautiful women outside.

When Mu Honglian saw Lin Langtian come out and that he had overheard her whispers, her pretty face immediately turned bright red. Then, she looked at Lin Langtian with her beautiful eyes and asked uncertainly, "So, will you keep your word?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was both amused and exasperated, saying, "What do you take me for? Do you think I'm so untrustworthy?"

Mu Honglian blushed slightly, then muttered, "Who knows if you're like spilled water that can't be taken back?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian shook his head with a wry smile.

Hearing Lin Langtian's words, Jiang Yinlan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Langtian didn't abandon Yinlan Palace, his becoming king would be a great thing for Yinlan Palace.

"It seems this seclusion was quite fruitful," Jiang Yinlan said with a slight smile.

Lin Langtian smiled and didn't say much. He just stretched and looked up at the sky outside Yinlan Palace. He could feel the countless powerful spiritual energy fluctuations that had appeared in the world.

"Truly worthy of being the most popular event in the Qiankun Sect," Lin Langtian murmured.

"Are you ready?" Jiang Yinlan asked Lin Langtian with a smile. Lin Langtian nodded, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.

Even the immortal Huang was no match for him; he was determined to become the tenth king.

……

Qiankun Square.

The square is now filled with a sea of ​​people, their boisterous voices converging into sound waves that soar into the sky and eventually spread out, becoming clearly audible throughout the entire universe.

At this moment, in the center of the vast Qiankun Square, a huge stone platform rose from the ground.

That stone platform has a unique name in the Qiankun Sect: the King Conferment Platform.

Because every new king in the Qiankun Sect is born here.

In front of the square, there are several high stone seats, with distinct layers.

The highest stone base is entirely golden, shimmering with dazzling golden light under the sunlight, and exuding a sense of majesty.

When Lin Langtian and Jiang Yinlan appeared in the sky above the square, they immediately attracted countless gazes.

The Silver Mist Palace is no longer what it used to be. Everyone knows that this power, which was once the weakest among the kings, is now on the rise.

Therefore, when these experts from the Qiankun Sect saw Jiang Yinlan and her companion appear, their gazes were much more solemn than before.

Over the past year, the reputation of Yinlan Palace within the Qiankun Sect has been growing day by day.

Most of these changes can be attributed to the man in blue robes beside Jiang Yinlan, a figure who has recently risen to fame in the Qiankun Continent.

This person is named Lin Langtian.

"call out!"

As the powerful figures secretly observed Lin Langtian, a sharp sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out from the edge of the sky.

The sound of wind breaking was accompanied by a powerful surge of spiritual energy, immediately attracting countless gazes.

"Zhao Gao... he's finally arrived!"

"Haha, I knew it! He definitely wouldn't give up!"

"I wonder if this guy will be able to successfully become a king this time?"

"... "

When that whooshing sound rang out, numerous voices echoed across Qiankun Square, clearly recognizing the newcomer.

"Zhao Gao, the city lord of Qiankun City?" Lin Langtian glanced at him, then calmly looked away.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the streak of light flashed across the sky and appeared above Qiankun Square. It then slowly descended from mid-air, cupping its fists and smiling at the crowd.

Lin Langtian looked up and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man. He was broad-shouldered and burly, with bright eyes and a resolute smile on his face. He looked quite dignified and solemn.

A powerful spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from the middle-aged man, and according to Lin Langtian's estimation, Zhao Gao's strength was probably no weaker than Huang Buxiu's.

Of course, if it comes to comparing the Supreme Dharma Body, Huang Buxiu is obviously superior. After all, even though Huang Buxiu's mastery of the Great Sun Undying Body is not as good as Mu Chen's in the original timeline, it still surpasses most of the same level of powerhouses.

While Lin Langtian closed his eyes to rest, Zhao Gao glanced at him, a solemn look appearing in his eyes.

He originally thought that his only rival in becoming a king was Li Xueshou of the Blood Demon Sect, but unexpectedly, Lin Langtian appeared out of nowhere.

What was originally a battle between two powerful forces has turned into a three-way struggle for supremacy.

As Zhao Gao's eyes flickered, a wisp of bloody smoke suddenly swept across the azure horizon.

That wisp of blood smoke resembled a falling meteorite, except that it contained a chilling aura that could freeze one's blood.

Countless powerful figures looked up at the streak of blood-red smoke that swept across the sky. The smoke swept in and finally transformed into a figure in blood-red robes, appearing in the sight of many.

The figure stood in mid-air, his face pale, his eyes gloomy, and his thin lips pressed together like blades, giving off an invisible chill.

At this moment, he looked at everyone present with a smile, then clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, saying, "Blood Demon Sect's Li Xue Shou greets everyone."

Some voices echoed in agreement from the square.

Among the many veteran experts of the Qiankun Sect, Li Xue Shou is quite famous. In recent years, he has been known as the number one person below the King level in the Qiankun Sect. This time, he came to participate in the King Conferment Ceremony, determined to become the tenth King of the Qiankun Sect.

Lin Langtian merely glanced at the person's arrival, his expression neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

The fierce-blooded hand seemed to notice Lin Langtian's arrogant and indifferent attitude, his brows furrowed slightly, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

He's just some guy who suddenly appeared; he's been sharpening his knives and preparing for this position of the tenth king for years.

He refused to believe that someone who was just a commander a year ago could snatch the title of king from him!
Boom!
Just as Li Xue made his decision, a loud bell rang out throughout the world.

Immediately, countless powerful figures were moved and looked up. They saw that on the high golden throne in the square, space was distorted and a majestic figure slowly emerged.

Beneath the golden throne, three elders also appeared, looking down at the countless powerful figures of the Qiankun Sect in the square.

"Welcome to the sect master!"

At this moment, countless powerful figures in the world clasped their fists in unison, their respectful voices resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Qian Tian gently raised his large hand, and then his majestic eyes swept across the countless powerful figures in the world. His gaze passed over Zhao Gao and Li Xue Shou, and finally lingered on Lin Langtian.

He was quite interested in this newcomer who had recently joined the sect and had the idea of ​​cultivating him.

And so his voice, which contained true majesty, resounded throughout heaven and earth.

"There are three people qualified to be crowned kings at this ceremony."

All sounds in the world vanished at that moment, leaving only Qian Tian's voice echoing. All the powerful figures tensed up, for only those who had received Qian Tian's approval were qualified to seize the Tenth King!

"Zhao Gao, the city lord of Qiankun City."

"The leader of the Blood Demon Sect, Li Xue Shou."

Some voices of regret rang out in Qiankun Square, but most people were not surprised, after all, these two were indeed the most capable and qualified to be crowned kings.

As for the last person, everyone seemed to have expected it, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Silver Mist Palace.

And Qian Tian's voice rang out again.

"Silver Mist Palace, Lin Langtian." (End of Chapter)
