Back then, everyone thought that after Cang Yan became a Great Dao Celestial Lord, the declining Langya Grotto-Heaven would rise again in her hands.
However, no one had expected that not only did the Great Dao, the Mandate of Heaven, fail to help her revive the Langya Grotto-Heaven, but it also caused her and the Langya Grotto-Heaven to fall into a state of eternal damnation.
As the saying goes, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth.
Everyone knew what imperial authority meant, especially in the Primordial Era. After the calamity of the Primordial Era, the thirty-six Paradise, seventy-two Blessed Lands, the various Grand Daos of the Nine Heavens and Nine Underworlds, and the various Grand Daos of the Nine Heavens and Nine Underworlds, all the major figures were in dire need of a Grand Dao, the imperial authority of the Heaven's Will, to raise their status.
Alas, there were only so many Heaven's Wills in the immemorial era. The immortal dao only had nine so the big shots were unwilling to accept this. They were secretly looking for the nine Heaven's Wills.
The Great Dao Celestial Emperors like Patriarch Blood River and the Great Sun Glorious Sovereign were protected by their masters and seniors. Even if the other overlords wanted to snatch them, they would not have a chance.
Cang Yan's situation was much worse.
Most of the experts of the Langya Grotto-Heaven had died in the Primordial Age, and the remaining disciples had all left to pursue their own futures. Therefore, when the news of her ascension to the throne of Heaven's Will spread, many big shots had their eyes on her.
At first, it was still fine. All the big shots expressed their goodwill to Cang Yan, hoping that she would leave the Langya grotto-heaven and become their disciple.
After being rejected by Cang Yan, the various overlords began to talk nonsense and create trouble. They accused Cang Yan of colluding with the Evil Dao, saying that her character was corrupt, and that she was not qualified to become a Grand Dao Celestial Emperor.
Later on, the major powers stood on the moral high ground and publicly forced Cang Yan to hand over the imperial power under the banner of eliminating evil.
Cang Yan was besieged by all the giants. Back then, she had no cultivation and no strength to resist. She could only be trampled on. Even so, she still tried her best to protect the imperial power because she knew that the imperial power was her only hope to revive Langya Cave.
In the end, she risked her life to activate the protective formation of the Langya Grotto. Although she managed to protect the Langya Grotto and the imperial power of the Heavenly Mandate, she disappeared.
Some people said that Cang Yan was dead. In order to activate the Langya Cave's protective array, he could not withstand the power of the array and turned into ashes.
No one had expected such an outcome.
After that incident, those big shots who had forced Cang Yan to his death did not mention this matter again. They even joined forces to suppress this matter and forbade anyone from mentioning it.
The reason was that although the experts of Langya Grotto-Heaven had all died in the Antiquity Age, Cang Yan still had a man who loved her.
All the big shots knew that if Ancestor Blood River knew that Cang Yan had been forced to death, he would definitely settle the score with them.
Back then, Patriarch Blood River and the others who had obtained the Imperial Power of Destiny had all chosen to go into seclusion. Firstly, they were worried that it would be snatched away by others. Secondly, they needed time to fuse with the Imperial Power of Destiny until it was completely integrated into their bodies. Only then could they truly aspire for the Imperial Power of Destiny.
Time passed just like that. Many people had almost forgotten that Cang Yan had been forced to death until one day, Patriarch Blood River finally came out of seclusion.
Back then, Patriarch Blood River's sect, the Jade Void Grotto, did not approve of him and Cang Yan becoming Dao companions. Although the Jade Void Grotto did not participate in the matter of forcing Cang Yan to death, they did not inform Patriarch Blood River after he came out of seclusion. Not only that, they also lied that Cang Yan could not fuse with the Imperial Power of Destiny and had turned into ashes. They hoped that Patriarch Blood River would forget Cang Yan.
The seniors of the Jade Void Grotto originally thought that they could hide it, but that was only what they thought.
Later on, Patriarch Blood River found out the truth from somewhere. After knowing that his beloved woman had been forced to death by the big shots, he was enraged and went on a killing spree. He killed until the sky darkened and the earth darkened. He killed until rivers of blood flowed.
He killed until the heavens were angry and people were resentful. He killed until the Nine Heavens could not tolerate him. In the end, he crushed the Heart of Destiny that he had painstakingly nurtured in front of the Nine Heavens, the Immortal Dao, his sect, the Jade Void Grotto, the thirty-six grotto-heavens, the seventy-two blessed lands, and other big shots.
From then on, he completely broke away from the Immortal Dao and fell into the Devil Dao. He also told all the existences in the heavens and the earth that from then on, he was no longer an immortal, but a devil. A devil from head to toe.
The seniors of the Jade Void Grotto came out to stop him. He returned his cultivation base to the Jade Void Grotto and was no longer a disciple of the Jade Void Grotto.
The Immortal Dao could not tolerate him, so he went into the Devil Dao.
The Mandate of Destiny could not tolerate him, so he crushed the Heart of Destiny that everyone yearned for in their dreams.
He said that he would make whoever forced his beloved woman to death pay with their blood.
If he could not kill them now, he would kill them in the future. If he could not kill them in this life, he would kill them in the next. He would kill everyone who forced Cang Yan to death.
That was what he said, and that was what he did.
The big shots who forced Cang Yan to death back then could be said to be in danger because no one had expected that Patriarch Blood River, who had personally crushed the Immortal Dao's Mandate of Destiny and fallen into the Devil Dao, would seek the Devil Dao's Mandate of Destiny again after he had fallen into the Devil Dao. He gave up the Great Dao Immortal Emperor and became the Great Dao Devil Emperor, Patriarch Blood River.
What was even more unexpected to the big shots was that not long after, the Langya Grotto, which had been sealed for more than a thousand years, was actually unsealed. Cang Yan, who everyone thought had vanished into thin air, miraculously appeared again.
Moreover, she'd even successfully fused the Imperial Authority of the Heaven's Mandate that she'd risked her life to protect all those years ago into her body. Moreover, she'd developed the Heart of Heaven's Mandate, the Spirit of Heaven's Mandate, and the Soul of Heaven's Mandate. She'd become a true Grand Dao Celestial Lord.
Some people said that Cang Yan's appearance had saved the big shots.
If Cang Yan had really vanished into thin air back then, the big shots would have been killed by Patriarch Blood River, who had become the Great Dao Devil Emperor.
Some people also said that Cang Yan's appearance had saved the big shots, but at the same time, it had become their eternal nightmare.
After Cang Yan became the Great Dao Immortal Emperor, she did not seek revenge on the big shots. Because of this, the big shots had been living in fear. They were all afraid that Cang Yan would seek revenge on them one day.
In particular, as Cang Yan's cultivation base became more and more unfathomable, the big shots became more and more afraid.
When Cang Yan, with her Immortal Body, became the Great Dao Devil Emperor, and became the only Immortal Devil Empress since ancient times, the big shots were even more frightened. Those old fellows who had come forward to force Cang Yan to her death were living a life worse than death. Every day felt like a year. Some of them even had a mental breakdown and went crazy. Those who did not go crazy also lived in fear all day long.
The reason why Mad Monk Grand Walker was afraid of Cang Yan was not because of Cang Yan's cultivation base or background, but because of Cang Yan's means.
In his opinion, the reason why Cang Yan did not seek revenge from the various big shots back then was not because he did not have the strength, nor was it because he did not have the courage, nor was it because he was kind hearted.
On the contrary, Cang Yan's means were too ruthless and vicious.
She wanted the big shots to live in fear for the rest of their lives. She wanted them to live a life worse than death.
As long as she lived, the big shots would have to live in fear for a day.
Think about it, if a person lived in fear for the rest of their life, how terrible would that be?
