Background

Spirit Cloud Sect is a major Righteous Path sect and one of the Five Great Sects. Its artifact-crafting development is considered especially advanced, a reputation reflected by its Artifact Forging Hall and its specialty in producing artifacts and immortal artifacts. 2 68

The sect maintains a formal disciple hierarchy. Outer Disciples undergo ranked illusion training; the bottom five in an assessment are deemed unqualified and must repeat the course the following year. Inner Disciples possess greater resources and are generally more competitive. 2 7

Its known locations include Glazed Fire Peak, the Artifact Forging Hall, Nurturing Spirit Hall, Spirit Jade Pavilion, and the sect plaza. 16 65 76 166

Other established locations include Thunder Peak, Sword Inquiry Peak, Numinous Ascent Peak, Danqing Peak, and the Sect Forbidden Grounds. Zhong Yi's Qingfeng Pavilion on Thunder Peak becomes a popular gathering place for fellow disciples to participate in Illusion Realms. 8 10 87 137 272

The sect has Eight Great Spirit Peaks. During the Sage Manifestation, seventeen True Disciples are still present at the sect, fourteen of whom initially assemble in the Spirit Cloud Great Hall. 375

The sect's reputation and fortune become increasingly associated with Lu Ze. After four of its True Disciples obtain Heavenly Dao Opportunities in Palworld, widespread opinion places Spirit Cloud Sect at the head of the Five Great Sects; some observers believe it has surpassed that grouping altogether. This is a public assessment of its standing rather than a formally announced change in affiliation. 388 546

Organization

• Sect Master Huang Xiao — Emerged from thirty years of seclusion and found the sect deeply changed by illusion games. 269
• Grand Elder Chao Wendao — A leading elder who supports Lu Ze, oversees sect matters, and seeks to raise the sect's standing in inter-sect competition. 10 46 55
• Former Second Elder Ding Mingcang — Elder of Numinous Ascent Peak and the sect's master of formations, who investigated suspicious illusion artifacts and repeatedly objected to the influence of Lu Ze's games on sect discipline. He is later slapped to death, and the Sect Master declares that his death is no loss. 10 21 46 137 145 149
• Elder Nangong Yuan — Elder of Glazed Fire Peak and Lu Ze's master. He supports his disciple's work, helps protect him during external activities, and takes pride in his contribution to the entire sect. 137 388 425
• Liu Qingmei — Li Moran's master, who instructs her in the Nine Heavens Mystic Ice Swordplay. 41
• Peak Master Lin Qingxuan — Master of Danqing Peak and Zhou Yue's teacher, who witnesses his disciple's Karmic Fire refinement and approaching breakthrough. 605
• True Disciples — Prominent disciples include Zhong Yi, Mu Yawen, and Li Moran. 10 57 218
• Zhou Yue — True Disciple of Danqing Peak, whose rise from a tragic background makes him a noted example of overcoming adverse fate within the sect. 87
• Outer and Inner Disciples — Form the sect's main body and are heavily involved in missions, cultivation courses, and Illusion Realm competitions. 7 8 34
• Menial Disciples — Undertake practical duties such as entering the mountains to mine spirit ore. They also become enthusiastic players of Palworld. 531
• Enforcement Hall — The disciplinary body invoked by Ding Mingcang in his complaint that Chao Wendao and Nangong Yuan obstruct efforts to suppress the disciples' illusion-game indulgence. 137

Capabilities & Resources

Artifact Crafting

Spirit Cloud Sect's defining specialty is artifact production.

• Its Artifact Forging Hall is used for cultivation and artifact-related work. 16
• In Immortal Realm Supremacy, the sect's unique passive grants additional attribute bonuses to artifacts made by its Artifact Forging Hall. 68
• The sect's simulated late-game strength is associated with its artifact-focused development, though it can be eliminated before reaching that stage in War Mode. 75 86
• Strange and specialized artifacts are commonplace within the sect. Its Imagery Instrument can extract images or sounds from a person's mind and is normally used to reconstruct incidents from witness testimony. 2
• Inner Disciples have access to a Tower Climbing Trial in which their Spiritual Sense enters special artifacts to battle. 2

Illusion Realm Infrastructure

The sect becomes a central adopter, testing ground, and competitive force for Lu Ze's Illusion Realms.

• It hosts and distributes Illusion Crystal Stones, including Demonic Path Escape and Immortal Realm Supremacy. 10 65
• A grand formation is completed to provide Multiplayer access for all disciples. 73
• The Nurturing Spirit Hall's Illusion Realm is used for inter-sect ranking competitions. 55
• Its disciples train through games such as Plants vs. Zombies, improving their Spiritual Sense control. 34
• The sect fields teams in continent-wide ranked competitions, including the Heavenly Dao Cup. 216 218
• Six Spirit Cloud Sect elders and three elders from other sects jointly construct the sect-wide Multiplayer formation. It initially functions as a large Local Network rather than a continent-wide connection. 73
• Popular games such as Naraka: Bladepoint provide a dedicated Spirit Cloud Sect server alongside the world server and other major sects' private servers. 269
• Qingfeng Pavilion's communal gaming activities help establish the later concept of “illusion arenas” within the cultivation world. 272
• A Danqing Peak elder develops the popular Spirit Plant Summon Module, allowing Wood Spirit Root cultivators to summon spirit plants. 150

Cultivation and Defensive Strength

The sect's training combines conventional cultivation, specialized martial instruction, and increasingly effective Illusion Realm practice.

• Its disciples have access to numerous sword-training methods and ordinary illusion trials, making simple sword-swinging simulations insufficiently novel for Lu Ze's purposes. 23
• Severed Thought Cliff on Sword Inquiry Peak is a sacred site associated with an ancient elder's defense against a Demon Path siege. The elder's sword stroke shattered myriad arts and left the cliff, attracting later cultivators seeking enlightenment. 10
• Chao Wendao can mobilize the sect's elders to protect endangered disciples. When Lu Ze is trapped in a Heavenly Dao Mystic Realm, he summons all the elders and rushes to the site. 170
• After Wei Chengqing's attack on Lu Ze becomes public, all eight elders accompany Chao Wendao to block Azure Peak Sect's entrance and demand an explanation. 384
• Li Moran becomes the youngest Refining Void cultivator and is identified as a Sword Dao Sacred Physique whom Limitless Sword Sect had unsuccessfully sought to recruit. 555
• By the latest recorded development, Zhou Yue has reached the perfected late stage of the Transformation God Realm and is approaching Refining Void after gaining insight through Lu Ze's Illusion Realm. 605

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rise of *Demonic Path Escape*

Lu Ze's first illusion game disrupts normal sect routines. Inner Disciples increasingly skip elder lectures, while Outer Disciples aggressively compete for Spirit Stone-paying missions in order to fund gameplay. 8

Ding Mingcang suspects the illusion may originate from the Demon Path and orders an investigation, while Chao Wendao is intrigued by its popularity. 10

The game's realm suppression also destabilizes the disciples' customary hierarchy of prestige. Xiao Hongzhi and Yang Zhuo achieve only 300 and 200 steps respectively, while Outer Disciple Zhang Ming has exceeded 3,000. Their humiliation encourages more Inner Disciples to challenge the trial to restore the inner sect's honor. 6

Sect Covenant and Illusion-Realm Education

When Lu Ze challenges Ding Mingcang's doubts about his ability to create further Illusion Realms, Chao Wendao establishes a binding Sect Covenant between them. 21

The sect's curriculum later incorporates Plants vs. Zombies so extensively that Ding Mingcang finds multiple peaks teaching through it. The demanding lessons and hard-mode play improve disciples' Spiritual Sense control. 34

During the Martial Arts Exchange, Azure Peak Sect elder Yang Zhengxin challenges the decision to entrust the competition illusion to a Foundation Establishment Inner Disciple. Chao Wendao supports Lu Ze against the criticism. The resulting ranking competitions turn Nurturing Spirit Hall into a focal point of rivalry, with Spirit Cloud Sect and Sky Profound Gate contesting first place. 46 55 57

*Immortal Realm Supremacy*

Spirit Cloud Sect is one of the playable Righteous factions in Immortal Realm Supremacy. Its campaign begins with founding and developing a weak sect, recruiting Menial Disciples, mining Spirit Stones, constructing buildings, and resisting the Demon Path. 65 66

Zhong Yi's initial campaign defense fails against an overwhelming Demon Path assault, becoming a point of collective embarrassment and motivation for the sect's disciples. 67

In War Mode, Spirit Cloud Sect finishes third in the first round of the sect war. Its artifact-and-tower-oriented strategies later become notorious in Arena Mode. 76 86

Xiao Hongzhi's cautious development helps the sect recover from its poor opening performance to claim third place. In the subsequent confrontation with Lu Ze's Demon Path faction, Spirit Cloud Sect joins other Righteous factions in coordinating resistance and launching an attack. 76 78 82

*Spirit Qi Revival* and Internal Tension

During the Spirit Qi Revival Illusion Realm, Zhong Yi uses Redstone mechanics to rapidly reach the peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer. His plan to obtain Spiritual Roots through villager breeding alarms Zhou Yue and contributes to concern that the sect's disciples are becoming corrupted by illusion-game practices. 137

Ding Mingcang reports the situation to Huang Xiao, alleging that an unknown demonic figure's Illusion Realms have corrupted the disciples. After inspecting the peaks and seeing disciples prioritize Minecraft-like gameplay over cultivation, Huang Xiao orders an investigation and is led to suspect Lu Ze. 145

Ding Mingcang's opposition ends with his death. Huang Xiao explicitly dismisses the loss of the elder and orders Chao Wendao to convey a new oral decree to the sect. 149

The sect also participates in the emerging culture of module creation. A Danqing Peak elder's Spirit Plant Summon Module becomes especially popular, while Zhou Yue develops a module based on his Karma Fire Azure Lotus Art and notices improvements from the research. 150

Heavenly Dao Cup

Spirit Cloud Sect enters the Heavenly Dao Cup Immortal Realm Supremacy competition. Lu Ze applies to join as a substitute, while Zhong Yi gives up his own position so Liu Mo can receive an opportunity. 216

Under Lu Ze's identity as White Curtain, the team trains against AI-controlled opponents in five-versus-five matches. Mu Yawen, Zhou Yue, and Li Moran improve rapidly, while Lu Ze becomes suspicious of Liu Mo's unusual performance. 217

The team reaches the semi-finals by defeating Limitless Sword Sect three-to-one, aided by Li Moran's Night Hunter and Zhong Yi's strategy. 218

Before the quarter-finals, the team advances from the group stage with a six-to-zero record. Chao Wendao's separate elder team, “Never Bully the Poor Elderly,” is eliminated in the first qualifier round by an unknown Rogue Cultivator team. 218

The semi-final opponent, “Slay Immortals and Attain the Dao,” subjects Spirit Cloud Sect to two crushing defeats, each barely exceeding twenty minutes. White Curtain's intervention becomes a source of renewed hope, while Zhou Yue's desire to win increasingly reflects his bonds with his teammates rather than sect prestige or rewards alone. 220 221

Ghost Calamity and Demon Slaying Day

Facing an impending ghost calamity, the sect hires Revered Netherworld Soul to train disciples against ghosts, while Lu Ze releases Ghost Town Terror as an alternative method of overcoming fear. 234

Zhou Yue captures the Ghost Immortal responsible for the Ghost Calamity, earning respect from Spirit Cloud Sect. 254

For Demon Slaying Day, Zhong Yi represents Spirit Cloud Sect and later questions whether every Demon Cultivator should be killed. In the first-stage rankings, Spirit Cloud Sect places last. 286 287

Azure Peak Sect Rivalry

A dispute over alleged cheating intensifies the conflict between Spirit Cloud Sect and Azure Peak Sect. Chao Wendao and Lu Ze pressure Zhang Yuxian to clear his sect through an oath before the Heavenly Dao, with Chao's proposed hundred-year punishment for Lu Ze forming part of their rhetorical maneuver. Zhao Heng's accusation that the Heavenly Dao favors Lu Ze then provokes the Heavenly Dao's direct manifestation. 329

The rivalry extends into Immortal Abyss Continent Operation. Azure Peak Sect players deliberately target Zhong Yi, Zhou Yue, and Zhou Qiaoling, apparently watching Zhong Yi's livestream to anticipate their movements. Public boasts and the sale of Zhong Yi's in-game identity token turn the attacks into an insult to sect prestige. Zhong Yi insists on settling the feud inside the Illusion Realm and chooses Urururu to prepare a counterattack. 364 365

After Rakshasa is exposed as Azure Peak Sect elder Wei Chengqing, the cultivation world condemns his use of Refining Void strength against Lu Ze, a junior who has just summoned a sacred manifestation. Chao Wendao leads all eight elders to Azure Peak Sect's entrance. Azure Peak Sect expels Wei Chengqing and provides substantial resources as compensation, settling the immediate dispute but deepening the rift between the sects. 384

Zhang Yuxian subsequently proposes contacting Limitless Sword Sect and Sky Profound Gate to jointly seal off Spirit Cloud Sect, expressing anger at its apparent monopolization of fortune. The proposal does not establish that either sect agrees to participate. 386

Sage Manifestation

Following the prophecy of an approaching Age of Great Cultivation, Lu Ze's system identifies Spirit Cloud Sect as the site of an imminent surge of Righteous Path fortune. Believing the potential saint may be an acquaintance such as Zhong Yi, Lu Ze refuses the mission to interfere. 374 375

A Sage Manifestation then spreads over the sect, bringing auspicious clouds, rosy light, revived vegetation, heavenly music, and the resonance of the Dao. High-level cultivators arrive from across the world, and the sect relaxes its travel restrictions to receive them. Sky Profound Gate sends Chi Shengtian with gifts and congratulations. 375

Huang Xiao and the elders initially speculate about which elder or disciple has earned the Heavenly Dao's recognition. With Zhong Yi, Li Moran, and Lu Ze absent from the Great Hall, attention focuses on them as possible candidates. The phenomenon gathers toward Glazed Fire Peak and Spirit Jade Pavilion, identifying Lu Ze as its center; he is subsequently described as the first person in Spirit Cloud Sect to summon a Sage Manifestation. 375 390

*Immortal Abyss Continent Operation* Tournament

The sect gathers in unusually large numbers to watch Lu Ze compete in the Heavenly Dao's tournament. Its elders and disciples regard him as a key to future fortune, while Nangong Yuan publicly emphasizes that his disciple belongs to the entire Spirit Cloud Sect. 388

Lu Ze's success through terrain exploitation, disguises, ambushes, and “flower delivery” tactics produces a conflicting reaction. Public audiences celebrate his shameless ingenuity, but embarrassed Spirit Cloud Sect disciples and even most of its elders leave their designated spectator section to watch from the Rogue Cultivator area. Zhong Yi struggles to defend his behavior through commentary. 393

Mu Yawen becomes a contrasting symbol of the sect's values. Her generosity and shield expertise lead spectators to frame her matchup with Lu Ze as the sect's “Supreme Good” against its “Supreme Evil.” Nangong Yuan privately asks Zhong Yi to give Mu more screen time and Lu Ze less. Mu later rescues an unfamiliar enemy who cannot reach extraction in time, prompting the sect's audience to celebrate her sincerity and kindness as its proper legacy. 395 397

In the second stage, Zhou Yue and Li Moran secure early qualification and first place for the team “[Your Jade Feet],” with Lu Ze chiefly providing tactical coaching. Chao Wendao accepts a name unrelated to the sect with relief, reflecting the elders' concern that Lu Ze might embarrass them while competing under its banner. 408

The team encounters “[Last Dusk],” whose inconsistent abilities arouse suspicion. Its covert advantages derive from the Illusion Alliance's Ten Directions Spirit-Subduing Array; its cheating is later exposed and punished by the Heavenly Dao, to the delight of Spirit Cloud Sect's spectators. 408 415 421

*Palworld* and Heavenly Dao Opportunities

Spirit Cloud Sect disciples enthusiastically adopt Palworld. Zhong Yi, Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Mu Yawen operate an in-game household bearing the sect's name. A Forest Mammoth destroys their base and kills all four, prompting the joking lament that Spirit Cloud Sect has been wiped out. Zhong Yi's expulsion of Zhou Yue during this incident is an in-game action, not a dismissal from the real sect. 505

Li Moran declines to join their in-game sect, preferring to discover how far she can progress with her own sword. Her solo approach later inspires other players to imitate her journey toward the World Tree in hopes of obtaining similar opportunities. 526 553

Four of the real sect's True Disciples obtain Heavenly Dao Opportunities, causing its fame to surge and strengthening public belief that it leads the Five Great Sects. At the same time, Zhou Qiaoling's captured human workforce, human-powered generator, and use of an elderly village chief equipped with a self-destruct skill horrify Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue. They urge her to stop livestreaming before the sect is branded demonic. 546

Lu Ze's Palworld project also resolves the Beast Taming Sect's ancient Evil Soul crisis. After its purification, he plans to return to Spirit Cloud Sect and await news from Sect Master He Muye. 493 546 547

Sword Dao Ruins and *Sekiro*

Chao Wendao initially decides not to send Lu Ze into the Sword Dao Ruins' new Illusion Realm competition, prioritizing his reputation and momentum over a potentially risky contest. Li Moran is selected to represent Spirit Cloud Sect instead. 554

Limitless Sword Sect's partnership with the Illusion Alliance is intended partly to counter Li Moran without facing her in direct combat. At the previous gathering, no cultivator of her generation had lasted three moves against her; by the new event, she has reached Refining Void, and even Grand Elder Chen Yuan lacks confidence that he can defeat her. The revised contest rewards obtaining opportunities within Illusion Realms, where the Alliance secretly controls the planted prizes. 555 556

Lu Ze later intervenes, challenges the claimed Heavenly Dao provenance of the rewards, and presents his own Sword Dao illusion, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Li Moran dismisses the offered sword arts as beneath her standards. 559

With Lu Ze's illusion acting as a catalyst, Li Moran comprehends Void-Returning Sword Intent on the Viewing Terrace. Hundreds of swords rise toward her, and the First Sect Master's battered black sword emerges from the sealed depths of Limitless Sword Domain before dissolving into her Silver Longsword. Her breakthrough validates Lu Ze's wager with Chen Yuan and constitutes a major public success for Spirit Cloud Sect's disciple on its rival's home ground. 588

Illusion-Assisted Breakthroughs

After an encounter with the Buddha Carver, another bearer of Karmic Fire, Zhou Yue leaves the Illusion Realm and refines a surge of power at Danqing Peak. A massive black-and-red fire lotus attracts Chao Wendao and Lin Qingxuan, who learn that he is approaching the Refining Void Realm. 605

Recognizing a pattern between Zhou Yue's progress and Li Moran's recent Sword Intent breakthrough, Chao Wendao asks Lu Ze whether the encounters were deliberately arranged for sect members. Lu Ze denies tailoring them but recommends suitable opponents: Genichiro Ashina for Chao and Emma for Lin. The exchange extends the elders' interest in games from sect education and entertainment to their own cultivation insight. 605

Relationships

• Lu Ze — Inner Disciple of Glazed Fire Peak, later a True Disciple; creator of many Illusion Realms that transform the sect's training, culture, and public reputation. The sect mobilizes its elders when he is endangered in a Mystic Realm. 145 170 His Sage Manifestation and connection to the Heavenly Dao make him central to its perceived future fortune, prompting Chao Wendao and Nangong Yuan to safeguard him on external journeys. His methods nevertheless cause repeated embarrassment during public competitions. 388 390 393 425
• Chao Wendao — Grand Elder who publicly supports Lu Ze, entrusts Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen with escorting him, and treats competition results as a matter of sect pride. 46 55 166 He leads the elders in demanding compensation from Azure Peak Sect and later seeks cultivation opportunities for himself through Lu Ze's Illusion Realm. 384 605
• Ding Mingcang — Former Second Elder and persistent critic of Lu Ze's Illusion Realms; he investigated their origin and sought the Sect Master's intervention over their perceived corrupting influence. He later dies, with the Sect Master dismissing his death as no loss. 10 137 145 149
• Huang Xiao — Sect Master whose return from seclusion exposes him to the sect's changed gaming culture and declining discipline. 269 He later celebrates the Sage Manifestation and summons the True Disciples while seeking to identify its recipient. 375
• Zhong Yi — True Disciple, frequent Illusion Realm player, strategist, and representative in external events; he represents the sect in Immortal Realm Supremacy, the Heavenly Dao Cup, and Demon Slaying Day. 65 218 286 He also acts as a commentator, defends the sect's honor against hostile players, and attempts to manage the public presentation of Lu Ze's tactics. 364 393 395
• Mu Yawen — Battle-focused True Disciple who joins Zhong Yi in Illusion Realm activities and accompanies Lu Ze during his first external training expedition. 10 73 166 Her sincere generosity and rescue of an enemy player become public counterexamples to claims that the sect has become demonic. 395 397
• Li Moran — True Disciple and Heavenly Dao Cup competitor whose repeated matches against White Curtain rapidly improve her skill. 10 217 She becomes a leading representative of the sect's martial talent, reaches Refining Void, and acquires Void-Returning Sword Intent with help from Lu Ze's illusion. 555 588
• Zhou Yue — Danqing Peak True Disciple and major Illusion Realm competitor. His capture of the Ghost Immortal earns the sect's respect, and his later Karmic Fire insight brings him close to Refining Void. 87 254 605
• Zhou Qiaoling — Zhou Yue's younger sister and a frequent participant in the sect disciples' gaming group. Her resource-focused play supports their activities but also creates reputational anxiety through her treatment of captured humans in Palworld. 87 348 546
• Sky Profound Gate — A fellow Great Sect and competitive counterpart that becomes closely connected to Lu Ze through its Fragment of the Heavenly Dao. It sends gifts and congratulations during Spirit Cloud Sect's Sage Manifestation. 55 116 117 375
• Azure Peak Sect — A rival whose disputes with Lu Ze and Spirit Cloud Sect escalate from criticism of his illusions to targeted gameplay harassment and a confrontation over Wei Chengqing's attack. Compensation resolves the immediate incident but leaves relations worse. 46 329 364 384
• Limitless Sword Sect — A competitive rival defeated by Spirit Cloud Sect in the Heavenly Dao Cup quarter-finals. Its later cooperation with the Illusion Alliance seeks to regain prestige against Li Moran, but her Sword Intent breakthrough occurs on its own territory. 218 556 588
• Illusion Alliance — A rival organization competing with Lu Ze's Illusion Realms. Spirit Cloud Sect has no acknowledged participants when Lu Ze reviews its membership, though he considers possible incognito involvement. The sect's backing helps protect him from the Alliance, and its elders treat the Alliance's conduct as a reason to take his safety seriously. 256 382 425
• Beast Taming Sect — Its Sect Master He Muye seeks Lu Ze's help in containing the Evil Soul afflicting the Void Dream Chi. Lu Ze and Nangong Yuan visit its guardian, and Lu Ze's Palworld project ultimately resolves the crisis. 493 547
