On the second floor of the Scripture Depository.
Before the bookshelves, Shen Changge would occasionally flip through the books on the shelves. These books were worthless to outsiders, but to the members of the Cang Clan, they were rare treasures. They were the records of their clan's glorious past, an eternal monument.
Right now, the Cang Clan was already showing signs of decline. They didn't let down the glory they had ten thousand years ago. At that time, although the Cang Clan was a rising power, they were still extremely powerful. In the entire Western Immortal Realms, other than those unrivaled dao orthodoxies, the Western Cang Immortal Realm was the strongest.
That was the most glorious era of the Cang Clan.
The sea turned into mulberry fields, time changed.
After ten thousand years, the Western Cang Immortal Realm that was once ranked at the top of the Western Immortal Realms was no longer as glorious as before.
There were no eternal legends in the world. No matter how famous a legend was, it would always fade away with the flow of time, vanishing into the river of time.
The history of the Cang Clan's development had a very special meaning to the members of the Cang Clan. It was the proof of their past glory.
Hence, the second floor of the Scripture Depository was filled with the glorious legends of the Cang Clan's ancestor.
"To think that the Cang Clan actually came from the lower world." Before the bookshelves, Shen Changge's eyes were deep as he seriously read the books on the shelves. At this moment, he was exceptionally serious. His entire body was shrouded in a layer of sacred golden light, making him look even more extraordinary.
The Cang Clan was actually a power that came from the lower world.
Ten thousand years ago, there was a peerless demon-level genius from the Cang Clan in the lower world. He was extremely talented and the moment he stepped on the path of cultivation, he displayed a cultivation talent that shocked the entire Cang Clan. The Cang Clan treated him as their future successor and provided him with the best resources.
As expected, this young man didn't disappoint the Cang Clan. In a short eight hundred years, he stepped into the immortal dao domain and became an expert that stood tall in the immortal dao domain.
Just when everyone thought that he would lead the Cang Clan to dominate the lower world, he made a decision that exceeded everyone's expectations.
He stepped on the path of immortality and headed to the Immortal World.
Even when he arrived at the Immortal Dimension, it didn't take long for him to shine brilliantly and reveal extraordinary natural talent. He was thought highly of by a powerful Immortal Dao force in the Immortal Dimension, and he was nurtured as a seed. He received extremely great attention and care.
Two hundred years later, he became the Holy Son of the Immortal Dao Sect. He opened the Immortal Path and led all his clansmen from the lower realm to the Immortal Realm.
At this point, the Cang family entered the world of immortals.
This person was the founding ancestor of the Cang Clan of the Celestial World — Cang Lan Tian.
According to the ancient records of the Cang Clan, the Immortal Dao Sect that the Canglan Heaven belonged to was located in the Western Immortal Realm. It was a powerful force, but ultimately, it couldn't be considered a top force.
In the end, this Immortal Dao Sect was destroyed. Cang Lan Tian escaped under the protection of the Sect's experts, luckily preserving his life. Because the Cang Family's reputation was not prominent, they also survived this calamity.
While fleeing, Cang Lan Tian was forced to enter a forbidden area of the Immortal Dao in the Western Immortal Domain. The people of the Cang Clan thought that he had died in the forbidden area, and the entire clan mourned.
However, fifty years later.
Cang Lan Tian defied the heavens and returned. Moreover, he had already stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm. Relying on his own heaven-defying strength, he single-handedly destroyed the strength of his enemy.
It was said that the battle caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to split. The sun and moon lost their light. Five experts of the Immortal Dao Sect were killed, and the thirty thousand disciples of the sect were all killed by Cang Lan Tian. Not even a chicken or a dog was spared.
At this point, Cang Lan Tian became famous in the Western Immortal Domain, and the Immortal Dao forces in the Western Immortal Domain paid attention to him.
In the years that followed, Cang Lan Tian triumphed all the way without suffering a single defeat. He wrote a brilliant chapter that belonged solely to him. Following his legend, he forcefully stepped into the Immortal King Realm and became a powerhouse of the Immortal Dao.
He truly became a giant figure in the Western Immortal Domain. He dominated the entire Immortal Domain, and no one could compete with him. He founded the Immortal Dao family Cang Clan, established the Western Cang Immortal Domain, and his illustrious name resounded throughout the Western Immortal Domain.
At that time.
The prestige of the Cang Clan was so great that it was on par with the Immortal Dao Sacred Grounds in the Western Immortal Domain. Even the branches of invincible orthodoxies like the Fuyun Sword Sect treated the Cang Clan with great respect, not daring to slight them.
The strength of the Cang Clan was self-evident.
Later on, in order to find the path to the end of the Immortal Dao Domain, Cang Lan Tian would occasionally barge into the Immortal Dao Forbidden Zones. In the end, he even crossed the starry sky and left the Immortal World in search of the path to the end of the Immortal Dao Domain. From then on, his whereabouts were unknown. Tens of thousands of years had passed, and he never returned.
In that era, the Cang Clan's strength and glory had reached the pinnacle. Because they had an Immortal King Realm ancestor, the Cang Clan was called the Cang Clan of Immortals.
The most basic standard for an Immortal Clan was to have an Immortal King Realm expert. Countless years had passed, and as the Cang Clan's ancestor disappeared, the Cang Clan lived up to its former glory. Now, they could no longer be called an Immortal Clan, and could only be called an Immortal Dao family.
Even so, the Cang Clan was still considered an ancient Immortal Dao family, and possessed the profound foundation of the Immortal Dao.
As a result, many powerful forces near the Western Cang Immortal Domain coveted the Cang Clan's ancestral immortal art.
Shen Changge guessed that the Cang Clan's ancestral immortal art, the Indestructible Creation Immortal Art, was very likely obtained by Canglan Heaven in the Immortal Dao Forbidden Zone.
After a long time, Shen Changge went to the Scripture Pavilion and browsed through some of the powerful immortal arts in the Cang Clan's collection. However, she didn't find any that were suitable for her.
Or rather, she didn't find a sufficiently powerful immortal art.
Presumably, the Cang Clan's collection of peerless immortal arts was the foundation of the Cang Clan's foundation. It was a secret that wasn't passed on.
After that, Shen Changge left the Scripture Pavilion.
However, the Cang Clan wasn't calm at the moment. In fact, the atmosphere in the Cang Clan was somewhat heavy and heavy.
… …
Canglan Immortal City.
Main City, Canglan Temple.
At this moment, the Cang Clan members were gathered in the spacious square in front of the Canglan Temple. Their leader was the current patriarch of the Cang Clan, Cang Qingtian.
Behind Cang Qingtian were a group of elders of the Cang Clan. They were all powerful beings who stood tall in the Immortal Dao Domain.
The atmosphere in the space was heavy, and there was a faint feeling that a storm was about to come. The atmosphere was tense and hostile.
Below the steps of the Divine Palace stood a group of people. They were led by a handsome young man. He had long golden hair, which was tied up in a jade crown. He wore a gorgeous golden robe, which was embroidered with the image of a divine dragon. He looked luxurious and dignified. His body was tall and straight, as straight as a sword. His eyes had golden pupils, which were flowing with sharpness.
Beside him stood an old man who was also wearing a golden robe. His hair was also golden, and his eyes were gloomy. He gave off a sinister feeling that made people shudder.
Behind the two of them were dozens of figures. They were all dressed in golden robes, and their every movement exuded an air of nobility.
In the space, the atmosphere was tense and hostile, and it was filled with a murderous aura.
"Wang Jiang, how dare you! First, you killed my Cang Clan members, and now you've come to Canglan Immortal City. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" At this moment, on the steps in front of the temple, Cang Qingtian looked down at the handsome young man in the golden robe and said coldly.
His cold voice was filled with undisguised coldness.
Wang Jiang.
In an instant, there was an uproar in the square, and the surrounding Cang Clan members were all shocked.
Wang Jiang was the eldest son of the Wang Clan, an Immortal Dao family. He had unparalleled talent, and it was said that he had an extremely high reputation in the Western King Immortal Domain. He was praised by the Wang Clan as a peerless genius that appeared once in a thousand years, and there was a great possibility that he would become the ruler of the Western King Immortal Domain in the future and inherit the position of the Western King.
Most of the Cang Clan members did not know Wang Jiang, but since Cang Qingtian had personally pointed him out, there was naturally no mistake.
Subsequently, the Cang Clan members all stared at the Wang Clan members with unfriendly expressions. The leader was the eldest son of the Wang Clan, Wang Jiang, so the people behind him should all be members of the Wang Clan.
The Cang Clan and the Wang Clan were not on good terms. At this moment, after the Cang Clan members knew the identity of Wang Jiang and the others, they all exuded a cold aura, causing the atmosphere in the space to become even more tense.
However, in the face of the cold gazes of the Cang Clan members, Wang Jiang seemed to turn a blind eye. A gentle smile hung on his handsome face, and his golden eyes looked up at Cang Qingtian. He smiled and said, "Master Cang, how have you been?"
"This time, I came here for no other reason than to exchange pointers with the young experts of the Cang Clan and exchange pointers. Master Cang, please don't misunderstand."
Wang Jiang's smile was amiable, and his words were sincere. No one could find any fault with his words. His smile was like a spring breeze, and it was extremely comfortable.
The more this was so, the heavier Cang Qingtian's heart became. Even he had to admit that the Wang Clan had indeed nurtured an extremely outstanding successor.
"Master Cang, since the Eldest Young Master has said everything, I will say a few words on behalf of him." At this moment, the elder behind Wang Jiang spoke. He looked up at Cang Qingtian, and his gaze swept across the elders of the Cang Clan. His eyes were cold and sharp as he said, "This time, we came specially to the Cang Clan to issue a letter of challenge to the younger generation of the two clans to exchange pointers. If the Cang Clan wins, then our Wang Clan will retreat from the border, and vice versa. If our Wang Clan wins, then we hope that Master Cang can cede the Clear Wind Celestial City to our Wang Clan."
Duel.
Cede the Clear Wind Celestial City.
The elder of the Wang Clan could be said to be concise and comprehensive. Moreover, he did not speak as smoothly as Wang Jiang. He went straight to the point and expressed his thoughts, revealing the purpose of their visit this time.
They were here to issue a letter of challenge!
They were here to challenge the young experts of the Cang Clan.
Rather than a duel, it was more like a bet. It was a bet between the Cang Clan and the Wang Clan, a game between the Western Cang Celestial Realm and the Western King Celestial Realm.
The bet was the Clear Wind Celestial City.
One had to know that the Clear Wind Celestial City was the barrier in the north of the Western Cang Celestial Realm. It was also the border between the Western Cang Celestial Realm and the Western King Celestial Realm. It was an Immortal Dao Imperial City built by the Cang Clan and was the number one city in the north of the Western Cang Celestial Realm. It was an important defense against the Western King Celestial Realm.
It was precisely because of the Clear Wind Celestial City in the north of the Western Cang Celestial Realm that the Western King Celestial Realm couldn't move an inch. The Wang Clan also couldn't cross the border.
The importance of the Clear Wind Celestial City to the Western Cang Celestial Realm was self-evident.
If the Clear Wind Celestial City was lost, it would mean that the Western Cang Celestial Realm's northern territory would be annexed by the Western King Celestial Realm.
"If my Cang Clan loses, we have to cede the Clear Wind Celestial City to your Wang Clan. But if your Wang Clan loses, you actually only retreat. What's the point of this duel?" On the stairs, Cang Qingtian laughed coldly. He glanced coldly at the experts of the Wang Clan and said, "Moreover, a few days ago, your Wang Clan dared to kill my Cang Clan members. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
"Rumble!"
In an instant, Cang Qingtian took a step forward. At the same time, a vast and boundless pressure was emitted from his body, shaking the void and spreading across the Heavens and Earth. It pressed down on the space below, causing the Heavens and Earth to tremble and the void to rumble.
This was the Immortal Dao Pressure.
Moreover, it came from an Immortal Venerable expert who stood in the Immortal Dao Domain. It was as majestic as the Heavenly Might, vast and boundless, pressing down on the people of the Wang Clan.
Cang Qingtian was obviously an Immortal Venerable expert.
"Rumble!"
At the same time, the elder of the Wang Clan below also took a step forward, releasing a vast Immortal Dao Pressure from his body. It swept forward like a broken dam, causing the Heavens and Earth to tremble.
In the void, the two Immortal Dao Pressures collided. It was like an invisible storm that swept across the Heavens and Earth, causing deafening rumbles to be heard. Under such powerful pressure, the people of the Cang Clan and the Wang Clan all felt an extremely terrifying pressure that almost suffocated them.
This was an invisible confrontation between Immortal Dao Domain experts.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Subsequently, the elder of the Wang Clan turned pale. His wide golden sleeves fluttered violently, and his body couldn't help but fall back. The ground under his feet cracked and densely packed cracks appeared like a spider web.
"Pfft!"
The elder of the Wang Clan turned pale and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His golden eyes gleamed with sharpness. He raised his head and looked at Cang Qingtian, but there was no fear in his eyes.
He didn't believe it.
He didn't believe that Cang Qingtian would dare to kill him.
His strength was indeed inferior to Cang Qingtian. He was only a Supreme Elder of the Wang Clan and was only at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of True Immortal Realm. Although he could be considered an expert in the Western King Immortal Realm, he was still inferior to Cang Qingtian, the ruler of the Western Cang Immortal Realm.
Cang Qingtian was an Immortal Venerable.
Even so, he was still fearless. He didn't believe that Cang Qingtian would dare to kill him. Otherwise, the Heavens and Earth would shatter, and the Western King Immortal Realm would start a full-scale war against the Western Cang Immortal Realm.
Would Cang Qingtian dare to do so?
The answer was yes. Cang Qingtian naturally wouldn't dare to.
In other words, in Cang Qingtian's opinion, it wasn't the time to start a full-scale war with the Western King Immortal Realm. It was fine if he didn't make a move, but if he really did, it would be a thunderous blow that would completely wipe out the Wang Clan of the Western King Immortal Realm.
And to start a war against an Immortal Realm, an extremely detailed plan would need to be formulated and considered at length.
Therefore, after the elder of the Wang Clan vomited blood, Cang Qingtian retracted the pressure of an Immortal Venerable expert that he released. He looked coldly at the people of the Wang Clan and hesitated for a moment.
