When Sang Yan was three, disaster struck her village, and the village chief invited a shaman to find a solution.
The shaman circled the village three times, then stopped at Sang Yan's door and pointed at her. "This girl is a calamity star brought into the world, rejected by heaven and earth. All the disasters in the village are her doing."
The villagers were terrified, and her parents despised her.
Following the shaman's instructions, they forced Sang Yan to drink talisman water until she was full, broke her hands and feet, tied stones to her, and threw her into a freezing pool.
Later, she returned from the pool, killed the shaman, and slaughtered the village. A passing cultivator branded her a calamity star and hunted her for a thousand years, until she became a notorious demon star in the cultivation world.
Sang Yan thought, Since everyone calls me a demon star, I might as well become one, just as they want.
On her first day as a demon, Sang Yan led a horde of demons and slaughtered the cultivators hunting her.
On her second day, Sang Yan fought a bloody battle against the various immortal sects and won, though barely.
On her third day, Sang Yan climbed to the most beautiful peak, Sunrise Peak, at Yunhai Celestial Palace, the foremost immortal sect. Gazing at the morning clouds on the horizon, she lamented how dull life was.
Sang Yan decided to find herself some amusement.
She followed the example of human emperors and demanded that the immortal sects send her beautiful people.
Those who refused would have their entire sects slaughtered.
Three days later, the most handsome, upright, and beautiful immortal lords in the entire cultivation world were all prostrate at her feet.
Sang Yan walked through the crowd, looking at faces filled with fear or disgust. She raised a hand and chose Yunhai Celestial Palace's most outstanding disciple, Immortal Lord Lingguang.
Immortal Lord Lingguang was noble and pure, untouched by worldly concerns.
Sang Yan threatened the lives of everyone at Yunhai Celestial Palace, then spent nights with him beneath the covers, indulging in carefree pleasure.
At first, she only wanted a pet to amuse her.
Later, the man's face and eyes reddened for her. When heavenly lightning struck, he shielded her with his body and nearly died from the blow.
Sang Yan was astonished. Was there really someone in this world willing to risk his life for me?
Unable to understand, she asked the immortal lord why.
He replied, "I love you more than I love myself."
Sang Yan believed him.
She put away her blades and sought a way to cultivate the immortal path again.
She heard that bathing in the Weak Waters for three hundred and thirty-three days would wash away her impurities and let her begin cultivating anew.
Only after she entered the Weak Waters did she discover that the pain was like having her soul torn apart, the cruelest torture in all the world.
For three hundred and thirty-three days and nights, Sang Yan endured by holding on to her memories.
When she emerged from the Weak Waters, she washed the blood from her body, deliberately changed into the white clothes the immortal lord loved most, and hurried back through the night.
When she saw the immortal lord again, he ran his sword through her heart.
"Sang Yan, you're beyond saving!"
That night, she burned up all her karmic fire and perished with the immortal lord.
Ten thousand years later, the little demon Sang Yan was drinking tea when she heard the legendary tale of Immortal Lord Lingguang.
They said he had endured humiliation and offered himself to the demon, eventually finding the demon star's weakness and killing her with one stroke, ridding the human world of a scourge.
They said he had shared a deep love with his junior sister, Fairy Yuli. After she passed away, he raised alone the son she had borne him, spoiling the boy until he lost all reason.
They said he had withstood heavenly tribulations and refused to ascend because he wanted to find Fairy Yuli's reincarnation and rekindle their love.
Sang Yan had an epiphany. "So this is the enemy who killed me in my past life. He's still alive!"
Got it. Off to Yunhai Celestial Palace to kill him and get revenge.
