Background / History

The sect’s former headquarters, Seven Treasures City, was destroyed during Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunt Operation ten thousand years earlier. The sect master of that era rebuilt the city after the war and renamed it Nine Treasures City; successive sect masters later expanded it into a city that combines ancient architecture with Soul Tool-driven modernization 7.

Its ancestral legacy centers on Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong. Both died protecting Sea God Tang San during the Three Gods War, and their remains are interred beneath statues within the sect. The statues face the sect as symbols of protection, while Ning Rongrong personally designed and supervised their construction 7.

After learning that Chen Junting had awakened the Seven Kills Sword with Innate Full Soul Power, Sect Master Ning Bo Wen arranged to recruit him through Song Manor, honoring the agreed price of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. Ye Xuanji subsequently accepted Chen Junting as his disciple 2 7.

The sect later expanded its direct talent pool by recruiting Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, Nan Qiuqiu, Ye Guyi, Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, Xuan Ziwen, and others. Its recruitment policy combines exceptional resources with tailored mentorship, particularly from its Titled Douluo Grand Elders 18 51 241 291 310.

Headquarters

Nine Treasures City

Nine Treasures City belongs exclusively to the sect. Its ancient city walls surround dense high-rise buildings, wide stone streets, and extensive Soul Tool infrastructure; the city was designed with reference to the Sun Moon Empire’s Ming Capital 7.

• The sect’s business spans the Douluo Continent, Sun Moon Continent, and the Four Great Empires 7 12.
• Soul Tools allow the sect’s Auxiliary Soul Masters to achieve attack and defense comparable to Soul Masters of the same rank, creating thousands of additional combat-capable members 7.
• Flight over Nine Treasures City is prohibited except during emergencies 349.
• Following the Holy Spirit Cult’s attack, the sect worked with the Heaven Dou Empire to rebuild the city 423.

Sect Grounds

The central sect complex is built around a Nine-Layered Pagoda and contains palaces, pavilions, cultivated gardens, rockeries, waterways, a council hall, treasury, mausoleum, Soul Fighting Arena, research facilities, and a forbidden ground used for life-and-death seclusion 7 98 365 385.

• Sword and Bone Statues — Ten-meter marble memorials to Chen Xin and Gu Rong, placed on the sect grounds above their burial site 7.
• Treasury and Secret Chamber — Stores Heaven and Earth Treasures, Soul Bones, rare metals, self-created Soul Skills, and the sect’s accumulated wealth. Its hidden chamber preserves ancestral Soul Skill traces through the Power of Faith 98.
• Mausoleum — Burial site for sect masters, elders, and disciples. Ordinary disciples are buried collectively according to the reign of their sect master 365.
• Forbidden Ground — A secluded area for elder breakthroughs. Its identity-verification barrier was upgraded to genuine Level 9 defensive strength after the sect acquired a Level 9 Soul Engineer 385.

The original eight Grand Elders introduced at the sect are Ye Xuanji, Zhiyong, Wuyan, Baisheng, Zhang Ming, Tai Yu, Yang Zihan, and Qing Lan. Their recorded cultivation ranged from rank 92 to rank 97 at that time 7.

Commerce and Resources

The sect’s wealth is its defining institutional advantage. It uses its commercial network to acquire rare treasures, Soul Bones, medicinal resources, Soul Tools, and cultivation materials that most factions cannot reliably obtain 7 98 632.

Auction Network

Tier	Locations	Auction Schedule
Nine Treasures	Capitals of the Four Great Empires and Shrek City	Every five years
Seven Treasures	Major cities of the Four Great Empires	Every three years
Six Treasures	Smaller cities	Generally once per year; no fixed schedule

The Nine Treasures Auction House in Heaven Dou City is operated by the Nine Treasures Pavilion and is among the city’s largest auction venues. Its first-floor display items are each worth at least thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins, while even the ten-thousand-gold Profound Water Pill is too common for display there 12.

Cultivation Support

The sect invests heavily in promising disciples rather than reserving its resources solely for direct bloodline members.

• Chen Junting received a private courtyard, Profound Water Pills, medicinal baths, Heaven and Earth Treasure-grade ingredients, and a dedicated Mimetic Cultivation Ground 8 9.
• Huo Yuhao was recruited with Profound Water Pills, Whale Rubber, a Storage Soul Tool, and a sect meditation manual despite his initially weak first Soul Ring 18.
• Xiao Xiao was offered full resource support, potential tutelage under Baisheng, and specialist guidance for both of her Martial Souls 51.
• Xuan Ziwen received a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone and Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, enabling his advancement to Titled Douluo and Level 9 Soul Engineer; he became the sect’s Chief Soul Guidance Researcher 268.
• The sect fully committed to providing resources and suitable Soul Bones for disciples who received Divine Inheritances 635.

Research and Innovation

Soul Tools

The sect embraced Soul Tool development early, using its capital to equip Auxiliary Soul Masters and strengthen its middle- and lower-ranked combat forces 7 134.

• It possesses Soul Tools capable of countering the Body Sect’s highest-level combatants 134.
• Ning Bo Wen used a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell to force the Body Sect’s retreat during its assault on the sect 195.
• The Soul Guidance Research Institute develops Humanoid Soul Guidance Devices, Battle Armor, and other high-level equipment 222 268.
• The sect’s Battle Armor research combines arrays, Soul Tools, artificial Soul Bone technology, and rare metals 222 671.

Array Formations

Chen Junting established the sect’s Array Formation Research Department after teaching its members the Gathering Yuan Formation and related principles 99.

The sect later supported his plan to spread basic array knowledge publicly while retaining its most advanced techniques. Ning Bo Wen intended to use the sect’s commercial and propaganda network to promote the system and gather Power of Faith for Chen Junting’s path to godhood 367.

Self-Condensed Soul Rings

After Chen Junting successfully developed Self-Condensed Soul Rings, the sect leadership convened at the Forbidden Ground to test and evaluate the method. The rings were compared to Ferocious Beast Soul Rings in quality 385.

Defenses

Nine Treasures City possesses automated defensive measures that identify incoming threats; Ye Xuanji’s token can nullify the city’s lethal security response 7.

Chen Junting later completed the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation by connecting arrays within the sect to the Ice and Fire Dragon Veins. The completed formation enriches the area with Primordial Qi and protects the sect through ice, fire, life, and death energies 366.

Ice and Fire Dual Heaven Formation

Testing established the following defensive effects:

• Intruders below Soul Saint-level combat strength are annihilated by the formation.
• Soul Saints and Soul Douluo-level intruders become trapped and unable to advance or retreat.
• External enemies require at least Super Douluo-level combat strength to force their way into the sect.
• Combined with Soul Tools, the formation turns the sect grounds into a fortress 367.

The formation was deployed in the defense against Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Cult, drawing on the Golden Tree, Undead Tree, and underground Ice and Fire Earth Veins 413.

Story Role / Major Arcs

The sect recruits Chen Junting after the reappearance of the Seven Kills Sword Martial Soul, then provides the resources, instruction, and political protection that allow him and Ning Tian’s generation to develop rapidly 2 7 9.

It becomes a central force in the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Tournament. Its main roster defeats the Snow Demon Sect, overwhelms the Holy Spirit Cult, and returns home as the tournament’s “uncrowned king” 306 320 349.

The sect withstands the Body Sect’s attack through superior numbers, Soul Tool deterrence, and Ning Bo Wen’s willingness to ransom captured opponents for profit 195.

Following the construction of the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, it repels the Holy Spirit Cult’s offensive despite the disparity in top-level combat power 366 367 413.

As war with the Sun Moon Empire approaches, Chen Junting organizes the deployment of 800 disciples: 700 combatants and 100 logistical personnel. Families of participants receive Core Disciple-level resource benefits 458.

By the later stages of the story, the sect has become one of the continent’s two foremost powers alongside Shrek Academy. Tang San identifies multiple god successors within its ranks and regards its accelerated growth as a potential threat 647 654.
