Background / History
The sect was founded by seven chivalrous heroes who eradicated bandits in the region. Its stated tradition is to act chivalrously and righteously while dealing uncompromisingly with evil 342.
During its seventh-grade era, Wuji Sect was one of Zhao Kingdom’s three leading sects. Chu Yunxiao brought Lu Ming to its mountain gate after the reappearance of the Demonic Cult, and the sect accepted him as an Outer Sect disciple after verifying his exceptional cultivation speed and combat record 24 25.
Lu Ming’s rise transformed the sect’s standing. His victories in the Inner Sect Grand Competition, the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, and the Heavenly Pride Ranking increased the sect’s prestige, drew in new applicants, and supplied it with high-level martial arts and cultivation resources 65 99 165.
The sect demonstrated its willingness to protect its disciples during the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm dispute with Skyfire Sect. When Fire Spirit Son demanded that Lu Ming be handed over, Dongfang Yulong openly threatened a sect war rather than surrender him 98.
After the Wild Cloud Ridge beast tide erupted, Wuji Sect organized the frontline defense and sheltered nearby people, gaining considerable prestige while the Nine Heavens Sect delayed its response 234. Its subsequent expansion, promotions, and alliance-building elevated it from a Zhao Kingdom sect into a major regional power 242 347 422.
Organization
Disciple Structure
| Division | Requirements / Role |
|---|---|
| Outer Sect | Primarily Inner Qi Realm disciples. A disciple who fails to reach the True Qi Realm before age eighteen is ordinarily expelled. 25 |
| Inner Sect | True Qi Realm disciples who pass an entry assessment; reaching the realm through pills alone is insufficient without recognized combat strength. 25 |
| Core Disciples | Exactly 100 disciples who have passed particularly strict assessments. Core status also carries a strength requirement. 25 62 |
| Elders | Gangqi Realm cultivators may cultivate independently or become elders. 25 |
| Grand Elders | The sect’s highest echelon; Lu Ming became a Grand Elder after entering the Gangyuan Realm and later gained greater authority upon reaching the Sea Transformation Realm. 166 342 |
Resources and Discipline
- New disciples receive one free selection of a Human-grade initial-stage cultivation technique and martial skill; further manuals require contribution points. 26
- Contribution points function as sect currency and can be earned through internal tasks, martial-art assessments, and sect trials. 26
- The Martial Arts Pavilion has three documented floors: Human-grade initial and middle-stage manuals on the first, Human-grade high and peak-stage manuals on the second, and Earth-grade initial-level manuals on the third. 33
- Inner Sect disciples receive entry tokens to claim martial arts manuals from the Martial Arts Pavilion and weapons from the Weapon Pavilion. 31
- The sect maintains strict inspections around the Martial Arts Pavilion because it is a key inheritance site. 33
- Sect members are expected not to abuse the sect’s growing influence; violations of its rules can result in severe punishment. 340 342
Territory and Facilities
- The original sect occupied hundreds of mountain peaks, including separate Outer Sect, Inner Sect, Martial Arts Pavilion, and main-hall areas. 25
- Wuji Sect later developed southwest toward the ocean to avoid territorial conflicts and secure new resources. 407 410
- Its maritime development established regular warship travel between Wuji City and the Wind Island Sea. 422
- A new core region was constructed south of the gourd’s neck, encircled by a deep-blue river and built with mountains, large halls, and spirit-gathering formations. 522
- Lu Ming supplied special meteorites to create cultivation environments suited to different techniques and attributes. 522
- The sect’s defenses include the Nine Dragon Ascending Heaven Formation. With six dragons deployed, it can resist a Lower Heavenly Human; at full activation, it can withstand a High-level Celestial at immense resource cost. 522
Martial Arts Heritage
- The sect’s known ultimate arts include the Profound Gravity Falling Geese Technique, a Human-grade peak-stage technique that can form a gravity domain capable of restricting speed-focused opponents. 58
- Its strongest documented palm and movement arts available to Lu Ming were the Earth-grade intermediate-level Purple Sun Palm and Dragon Riding Art. 99
- By Lu Ming’s time, the sect held thirty-six Human-grade peak-stage saber techniques, nine Earth-grade initial-level saber techniques, and one incomplete Earth-grade intermediate-level saber technique. 101
- Lu Ming later replenished the sect’s heritage with numerous High-grade and top-grade Earth-level martial arts, carefully avoiding sect-specific inheritances that could create disputes. 242
- The sect increasingly developed into a saber-and-sword-oriented power, with roughly seventy to eighty percent of disciples practicing those disciplines due to Lu Ming’s inheritance and influence. 552

Major Arcs
Demonic Cult Reappearance
Chu Yunxiao investigated Demonic Cult activity near Shuofeng City and brought Lu Ming toward Wuji Sect after they fought cult members together. Lu Ming’s enrollment followed shortly afterward. 23 24 25
Inner Sect Grand Competition
The Grand Competition is one of the sect’s most important events, drawing Inner Sect disciples, Outer Sect spectators, core disciples, and external guests. Its point system awards two points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. 51
Lu Ming rose from 969th to first among Inner Sect disciples shortly after his protection period ended, an exceptionally rare achievement in the sect’s history. 65
Hidden Dragon Secret Realm
Wuji Sect sent its core disciples under the protection of Grand Elder Dongfang Yulong and Sect Master Li Ansheng. Its disciples endured repeated conflicts with Skyfire Sect, Nine Heavens Sect, and Spiritual Martial Palace while protecting one another inside the secret realm. 83 91 92
Heavenly Pride Ranking
The sect sent an unprecedented 13 disciples to the Ten Nations Heavenly Talent Competition. Five reached the Heavenly Ladder summit, while Lu Ming, Guan Wuli, and Zhu Ningyun entered the top 100 Heavenly Pride Ranking. 140 144 148
Lu Ming’s first-place finish caused a surge of applicants and made the sect a preferred destination for young talents. 165
Beast Tide Defense
When a beast tide spread from Wild Cloud Ridge, Wuji Sect led the defense at strategic points and stood at the front lines. Its actions earned widespread prestige among nearby powers. 234
Promotion and Expansion
Following Lu Ming’s Sea Transformation Realm advancement, the sect prepared and held a promotion ceremony attended by powers from Fengzhou and Guzhou. Its ancestor worship honored the seven founders and displayed 18 Gangyuan Realm experts carrying the ceremonial bronze cauldron. 342 347
The sect subsequently expanded toward the ocean and accepted three allied sects as branch lines rather than absorbing their inheritances outright. 407 422
