Ye Cangqiong left the Azure Mountain Sect, bid farewell to the master who was disappointed and heartbroken by him, and plunged into the vast Cultivation World.
In that era, people did not resort to any means necessary for cultivation as they did now.
People still had compassion then. They helped one another.
So he bided his time, schemed, betrayed, and plundered. Soon, his hands were stained with blood and steeped in sin.
He told himself this was the true face of the Cultivation World!
Everything his master had taught him was just a fairy tale the weak told themselves for comfort!
Through ruthlessness and fortunate encounters, he truly rose step by step. He became a True Immortal, advanced to Immortal Lord, entered the ranks of Immortal Venerables, and finally glimpsed the realm of a Supreme Immortal Venerable, laying the foundations of the Ancient Ye Family!
He had long forgotten that little mountain village, the Azure Cloud Sect, his master's teachings, and the moment someone had handed him a warm steamed bun beneath the setting sun.
He ruled billions of miles of divine land, enslaved the Myriad Races, indulged in the utmost luxury, and regarded all living beings as ants and weeds.
And because he had risen so high, more and more people followed his example.
Betrayal, deception, ambushes, assassinations, poison...
Before long, the entire Cultivation World reeked of blood!
The line between good and evil blurred. Greed and selfishness became the norm.
Eventually, even those renowned throughout the Immortal Realm for their kindness turned vicious and cunning.
For cultivation resources, for their own gain, they would slaughter entire clans and wipe out whole sects!
Ye Cangqiong had believed he had earned it all through his own abilities and his decisive ruthlessness!
He had deserved it!
Until this moment...
Until
