The Cangqiong mountain sect 「苍穹山派 (Cāng Qióng Shān Pài)」 is the most powerful sect in the canon world of Proud Immortal Demon Way and where Luo Binghe's journey begins. Most of the story takes place in or is connected to Cang Qiong Mountain. The current leader of the sect is Yue Qingyuan.

## Overview

Cang Qiong Mountain Sect is the world’s foremost major cultivation sect, and is led by Yue Qingyuan, who acts both as sect leader and the peak lord of Qiong Ding . Cang Qiong Mountain is a well-established sect of great renown , and in recent years, has become the number one when it came to cultivation, and had no real business rivals, and thus was abundantly wealthy . Cang Qiong Mountain has twelve peaks. Each peak is ruled by a Peak Lord and has its own unique strengths and specialties. This multi-pronged approach makes Cang Qiong Mountain the most comprehensive out of the four sects.

Disciples with excellent aptitude fight to enter Cang Qiong Mountain Sect each year , and the sect has produced a countless number of heroes throughout the years . While the exact number of people currently in the sect or on each peak is never stated, there are ways to approximate. The current peak lords ascended to their positions a couple of years before Luo Binghe joined the sect , and only select a handful of disciples (if any) each year. At the time of the Demon Invasion when Luo Binghe was around fifteen years old , it’s noted that Qing Jing had more than ten disciples who were waiting on Shen Qingqiu to leave seclusion . Of those disciples, it’s noted that Ming Fan, at age seventeen, is the most senior of the original Shen Qingqiu’s disciples. The number of disciples mentioned to be at the demon invasion is several hundred , and it’s mentioned that the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect delegation that went to the Immortal Alliance Conference was around one hundred .

## Services and Techniques

As with many sects, Cang Qiong Mountain Sect provides protection and assistance to the settlements within their territory. Disciples are sent out on a variety of missions, from transport to eliminating demons or helping assist people . Additionally, as a sect, they produce mystical herbs and elixirs, and collect a number of rare and treasured flowers every day . Outside of the cultivation sphere, the sect also sells Cang Qiong Mountain Sect’s Qian Cao Peak’s Dragon-Bone Cantaloupe seeds, which are noted to be wildly popular .

While likely specializing in many techniques, one minor technique noted to be native to the sect is “Plucking Leaves, Flying Flowers,” which isn’t very useful but is aesthetic and interesting .

## Peak Traditions and relationships

Within the mountain, there are certain traditions and relationships that are maintained between the peaks and the disciples. Once a disciple’s cultivation reaches a certain stage, they are able to pick a suitable blade for themselves from Wan Jian Peak . Bai Zhan is the most warlike of the peaks, boasting the greatest martial ability . On the opposite end of the spectrum, An Ding, the logistics peak, are seen as bricks to be moved to wherever they are needed , with Yue Qingyuan providing them communal funds to use .

At the demon invasion, it’s noted that the disciples joining the crowd had uniformly colored robes , though it’s unclear if all of the various disciples were from different peaks and ranks or not.

The peaks are socially separate enough to not know the internal politics of other peaks , but Bai Zhan is noted to bully and start fights on other peaks, drama that happens at public sect events like martial tournaments is widespread, and gossip is able to spread fairly quickly. Cang Qiong Mountain places a high emphasis on maintaining kinship between peers. It is common for a handful of head disciples to group up and go on side quests occasionally.

## Peak Lords

There are twelve peaks, each with a Peak Lord. Despite having differing personalities and being split across the peaks, the peak lords are a unit that breathes as one, and are a dependable family when things go wrong . No matter if their relationships with the original Shen Qingqiu were good or bad, they still came to express proper sentiments after he protected the sect in the demon invasion. Important information, especially confidential information about other peak lords, is shared amongst the peak lords without worry of it being leaked .

When the Peak Lords are promoted or retire, they do so together to foster harmony and good relations between the peaks. If one of them dies, their seat is left open until the next generation of Peak Lords. Furthermore, each generation of Peak Lords is assigned a new given name, which includes a generational name. The current generation of Peak Lords have the generational name **Qīng** (清), which is why they all have Qing as the first syllable of their name (e.g. Qingyuan, Qingqiu, Qingwei, Qinghua, etc.)[?]

The Peak Lords' seniority is based on the rank of the peak itself, and not based on age or the order in which they joined. Three peaks remain unnamed in the story.[?]

Some of the various tasks a Peak Lord might do, ones noted to keep them from assisting in the demon invasion at least, are sleeping, being in seclusion, being on a stroll, or being away from the sect on official business , though the severing of the Rainbow Bridges prevented them from intervening when they realized something was amiss . Peak Lords also grade papers and run classes, as well as take high level missions. It’s noted that work is reported to Yue Qingyuan .

## Major Locations

Main article: Cang Qiong Mountain
The sect has set up a protective array called the Heaven-Ascending Stairs, and disciples are tasked with the job of escorting people who has gotten lost back down the mountain. The best location for cultivation on the mountains are the Lingxi Caves, though cultivating there requires the sect leader's permission. The twelve peaks are connected by Rainbow Bridges.

## Peak Order

Cang Qiong Mountain Sect is composed of twelve peaks, with nine of them being named and only seven getting named peak lords. In terms of numeric rankings, there are only three that have confirmed numbers: Qiong Ding Peak is the first peak, with the peak lord Yue Qingyuan also being the sect leader,  Qing Jing Peak is ranked second,  and Bai Zhan is ranked seventh .

No other peaks have confirmed numbers, however, every peak lord refers to the other peak lords as their marital seniors or juniors based on rank, which can be used to gauge their approximate ranking: Wei Qingwei is referred to as “Wei-shixiong” by Shang Qinghua , placing Wan Jian above An Ding. Shang Qinghua refers to Liu Qingge and Qi Qingqi as “Liu-shidi”  and “Qi-Shimei”  respectively, placing An Ding as above Bai Zhan and Xian Shu. Qi Qingqi refers to Liu Qingge as “Liu-shidi” , placing Xian Shu above Bai Zhan. Mu Qingfang refers to Liu Qingge as “Liu-shixiong” , placing Qian Cao as below Bai Zhan. The Ku Xing Peak Lord and Zui Xian Peak Lord do not refer to anyone else in their scenes, and thus their relative locations are unknown.

Therefore, the approximate peak order, with peak lord names, is as follows:

1) Qiong Ding Peak - Yue Qingyuan

2) Qing Jing Peak - Shen Qingqiu

Wan Jian - Wei Qingwei

An Ding - Shang Qinghua

Xian Shu - Qi Qingqi

7) Bai Zhan - Liu Qingge

Qian Cao - Mu Qingfang

Unknown) Ku Xing

Unknown) Zui Xian
