## History

### Five Colored Treasure Pagoda

In killing the evil Tan Jun Hao, Yang Kai acquired a priceless Emperor Artifact of Star Soul Palace, the Golden Armor Heavenly Book. The Bright Moon Great Emperor has Lan Xun exchange one month in the Five Colored Treasure Pagoda with Yang Kai for the book. After his one month, the Pagoda becomes extremely unstable. As Yang Kai quickly departs Star Soul Palace, a smiling Bright Moon Great Emperor locks him in mid air and rapidly approaches him. He attempts to examine Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea, but is surprisingly heavily resisted. Not wanting to severely injure Yang Kai, Bright Moon concedes to let him retain whatever advantage he gained.

### Captured

During the time of the Martial Gathering at Orthodoxy Temple, Lan Xun is kidnapped. A few years later, multiple Great Emperor children or disciples meet similar fates. Eventually, the kidnappers are tracked to a Western Territory Mysterious Small World. Lan Ming Yue first arrives here before later showing a newly arrived Yang Kai the way to the captured children/disciples as he proceeds to further investigate the matter. Soon, he ends up in a conflict with the Night Shadow Great Emperor alongside the Iron Blood Great Emperor. The Bright Moon Great Emperor then learns that the Night Shadow Great Emperor has betrayed Star Boundary, and has used his status as both a Great Emperor and a Demon Race member to create a connecting passage to Demon Realm.

Later, Lan Ming Yue, Zhan Wu Hen, Mo Huang, and Yao Jun pursue Night Shadow into Demon Realm, where they are ambushed by 6 Demon Saints. Ming Yue ends up staying behind himself to allow the others to escape. The Demon Saints, intending to rob the World’s Will of Star Boundary to create a 13th Demon Saint, do not make a move to kill him. Instead, lead initially by Demon Saint Xue Li, they have many Half-Saints surrounding him with a giant Blood Formation(Spirit Array) in an attempt to steal his World's Will.

### Sacrifice

Lan Ming Yue holds out for many months against both the Array and encirclement. At one point, Yang Kai helps to restore his condition with the leaves of the Immortal Tree so that he can better resist the enemy. The 12 Demon Saints eventually surround and bombard Lan Ming Yue as he makes a last ditch attempt to escape. However, he is dealt a decisive traitorous blow from Can Ye that all but ensures his imminent death. Desperate to prevent the enemy plan, Ming Yue uses a powerful illusion technique on Yang Kai and forces the latter to kill him so that Star Boundary can retain the World’s Will, ultimately sacrificing himself for the survival of Star Boundary.

### Helping Lan Xun

Later, Yang Kai desperately tries to help Lan Xun refine the rampant Five Colored Treasure Pagoda in Star Soul Palace. Suddenly, the wisp of spirit of Lan Ming Yue arrives and helps Lan Xun to refine it. Knowing that everything is okay and that Lan Ming Yue is thankful to him, Yang Kai goes forward with a solidified resolve.

## Legacy

Lan Ming Yue's heroic sacrifice would prove fruitful when Yang Kai, as the Void Great Emperor, replaces him, kills Can Ye, and saves Star Boundary.
