Background / History

Lin Dong first encounters Xiao Wujiu near the opening of the Ancient Tomb Mansion on Tianyan Mountain. He is consumed by a desire to defeat Lin Langtian, whose Manifestation Stage cultivation far exceeds his own. Xiao Wujiu offers to capture Lin Langtian for him, but Lin Dong refuses, insisting on resolving the grudge himself. Little Marten considers Xiao Wujiu unfathomable but advises Lin Dong that befriending him would be worthwhile. 144

Inside the Ancient Tomb Mansion, Lin Dong is unable to open a sealed bronze gate until it suddenly opens. He finds Xiao Wujiu and Ling Qingzhu within the stone hall, then becomes embroiled in Wang Yan’s attempt to detain him. After Xiao Wujiu kills Wang Pan and suppresses Wang Yan, Lin Dong leaves the tomb alongside Xiao Wujiu and Ling Qingzhu. Xiao Wujiu gives him a Storage Ring and permits him to follow. 148 150

At the Lin Clan gathering, Lin Dong arrives to protect Lin Qingtan, defeats Lin Feng and a biased elder, and openly challenges Lin Langtian. He unleashes the fourth strike of the Great Desolation Imprisoning Heaven Finger, forcing Lin Langtian to rely on the Spirit Wheel Mirror and a blood sacrifice. Lin Fan ultimately halts the battle and awards the championship to Lin Dong. 182 183

Lin Dong later enters the Ancient Battlefield seeking greater strength. During the Hundred Empire War, he is associated with Xiao Wujiu’s intervention against the Western Xuan Region experts, whose Heaven-Sealing Array Map had trapped members of the Eight Great Super Sects. 189 200 201

After reuniting with Xiao Wujiu, Lin Dong joins the Dao Sect, whose Elder Wudao promises to safeguard him despite potential pressure from the Yuan Sect. 205

Personality

Lin Dong is resolute and deeply self-reliant. He refuses Xiao Wujiu’s offer to solve his conflict with Lin Langtian because he believes the grudge must be settled by his own hand. 144

He is also courageous to the point of recklessness. Despite being only at half-step Creation Stage, he publicly calls Lin Langtian down to fight and presses his attack even against an Earth-level Spiritual Treasure. 182

In crisis, Lin Dong prioritizes protecting others. When pursued by Lu Feng, he refuses to abandon Ying Xiaoxiao and is prepared to buy her a chance to escape if necessary. 295 296
