Cang Mo

Cang Mo is the Star Envoy of Star Court who becomes an enemy of Yang Kai after the Grand Desolation Star Field is largely swallowed by the latter at the expense of the former's insidious subordinate, Wu Heng.

## Appearance

Cang Mo is a handsome man with a feather crest and a feather fan.

## Personality

Cang Mo was a very selfish and underhanded individual who would resort to a number of despicable means to achieve his goals. He would of course pretend to be upright in front of his colleagues and superiors.

## Background

As a Pseudo-Great Emperor Star Envoy of Star Court, Cang Mo was a highly respected and powerful figure within Star Boundary, only having to look up to Great Emperors in status. Cang Mo had deep attainments on **Thunder Principles**.

Though he never managed to comprehend Space Principles, Cang Mo did manage to somewhat comprehend the highly esoteric Space Force. Likewise, Cang Mo coveted Yang Kai’s Sealed World Bead, which he hoped could help him to experience the sensation of transferring the World Force.

## History

### Grand Desolation Star Field

When Wu Heng is utterly defeated by Yang Kai after trying to absorb the Heng Luo Star Field, he cries for help from his Star Envoy, Cang Mo. Cang Mo then confronts Yang Kai, and is shocked to see the young cultivator in possession of both the Sealed World Bead and the Mountains and Rivers Bell. Cang Mo desires these treasures but is surprisingly unable to defeat Yang Kai, a 1st Order Emperor, even after using his Sword to cut off Yang Kai’s connection to his Star Field. What's more, Cang Mo even loses his Star Envoy Sword to Yang Kai. However, before things can get worse, Yang Yan shows up and breaks up the fight. Though she makes Yang Kai return his Sword, Cang Mo himself is forced to leave without any compensation, which in itself is a great shame for him.

### Qiong Qi

Coveting Yang Kai’s treasures, Cang Mo goes to Li Wu Yi and asks him how to block off space in order to prevent a user of Space Principles from escaping. Cang Mo then gathers Wu Heng and the powerhouses of both Netherworld Sect and Buddhist Heavenly Holy Land to ambush Yang Kai outside of Heavenly Wolf Valley in the Eastern Territory of Star Boundary. Yang Kai, now a 2nd Order Emperor, destroys the two Sects with Embodiment and then quickly defeats Wu Heng. During this time, Cang Mo is surprised when Yang Kai calls him out, seemingly knowing he was there all along.

This time, Cang Mo unleashes his full Pseudo-Great Emperor powers, which are based around lightning. Yang Kai and Embodiment again manage to struggle to a draw when, out of nowhere, Qiong Qi, the former Mount of the Flowing Time Great Emperor, shows up and proclaims Yang Kai as his new master. Yang Kai sends Qiong Qi, a Pseudo-Great Emperor equivalent, after Cang Mo, but before he can kill him, Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng show up. To Cang Mo’s shock, Yang Kai and the two others seem to be extremely familiar, and Li Wu Yi declares Yang Kai a Half-Person of Spirit Beast Island. Cang Mo is thus again forced to retreat in shame.

### Profound Heavens Temple

When Li Wu Yi gives up his spot for the Profound Heavens Temple to Yang Kai, a mere 3rd Order Emperor, Cang Mo is openly outraged. Later, in the Temple, Yang Kai, Yang Yan, and Bing Yun see Cang Mo and one of his Pseudo-Great Emperor friends fleeing from Demon Race Half-Saints. A true coward and traitor, Cang Mo sacrifices the life of his shocked friend in order to save himself from the Half-Saints. Cang Mo is then annoyed when he realizes that Yang Kai and the others were actually watching the whole situation, and that he would've been fine if they just continued to run. Exposed, Cang Mo can no longer hide his dirty side, and heads into the Temple while Yang Yan and Bing Yun hold an infuriated Yang Kai back from attempting to kill him on the spot.

Later, when Bing Yun is struggling against Jia Long in front of the Illusionary Heavens Furnace, Yang Kai sees a loophole in the '3 deaths' rule of the competition, and takes this opportunity to ambush Cang Mo along with Sheng Yu Zhu and Yang Yan. Yang Kai shouts for all to hear that Cang Mo is a despicable traitor before finally killing him.

## Trivia

* In the original web novel, Yang Kai suddenly knows Cang Mo’s name as he appears in Eastern Territory despite never being told it in a chapter. In the DDL translation, he is instead called the “purple-robed man” during this time, and new lines are created later in which Li Wu Yi introduces his name to Yang Kai, leading the latter to briefly lament that he never got the chance to force Cang Mo to reveal his name personally.
