History
Origins
Di Tian forced Tuo Ba Yun, then a grand elder of the Holy Dragon Sect, to submit and gave him essence blood that evolved his Martial Soul into the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon. After a century of cultivation, Tuo Ba Yun proposed establishing a faction to safeguard Di Tian’s future path to human form 2 3.
Tuo Ba Yun seized control of the Holy Dragon Sect, killed its sect master and the latter’s direct relatives, and renamed it Black Dragon Mountain. He announced that it would withdraw from continental affairs and accept vassal sects willing to seal their mountains as well 5.
Di Tian later ordered Black Dragon Mountain to end its closure and establish a sect near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest. He designated the well forbidden ground and supplied Tuo Ba Yun with Soul Bones 12.
Founding ceremony
Tuo Ba Yun pressured Shui Binghan and the Tianshui Family into joining, then moved Skywater Academy and the family into Sunset Forest. He announced the Black Dragon Sect and invited the major continental powers to its founding ceremony 14 15.
At the ceremony, Golden Crocodile Douluo Jin Cangya challenged Tuo Ba Yun on Spirit Hall’s behalf. Tuo Ba Yun defeated and mutilated him, prompting Qian Daoliu to intervene. Tuo Ba Yun used a reverse scale to summon Di Tian, who possessed him and badly injured Qian Daoliu with the Dragon God Claw. The attack destroyed Tuo Ba Yun’s eighth and ninth Soul Rings and shattered his Soul Bones 18 19 20.
Di Tian later restored Tuo Ba Yun’s strength with an Immortal Herb and Soul Bones. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sought protection and cooperation, while the Lower Four Sects joined Black Dragon Mountain directly 21.
Whale Rubber confrontation
Black Dragon Mountain and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect accumulated Whale Rubber, whose ability to strengthen physiques and raise the age of Soul Rings a cultivator could absorb alarmed rival powers. Tang Chen organized a coalition to pressure the sect, securing support from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and Spirit Hall 21 22 23 25.
When the coalition approached with Madam Ning as its captive, Tuo Ba Yun sought Di Tian’s help. Di Tian gave him another reverse scale to conceal and protect his cultivation. At the negotiations, Tuo Ba Yun proposed distributing Whale Rubber as tournament prizes; the offer rose from thirty to fifty tons after the sect’s Titled Douluo demonstrated their strength, and Tang Chen accepted 26 27 28.
