Divine Sword Sect

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

The Divine Sword Sect was formerly a declining, inheritance-severed sect with ruined buildings and almost no spiritual energy. Its previous Sect Master was killed by an Iron Sword Sect expert, leaving the sect near disappearance. Under Lin Feng, it was completely rebuilt into a cultivation paradise in less than fifteen minutes. 1 54

Its early rise began with the destruction of the Iron Sword Sect by four Handyman Disciples. The sect then attracted royal disciples from the Great Shang and Wanshun Dynasties, while the Martial Queen destroyed the Mo Family in retaliation for its actions against the sect. 54 135 142

The sect's influence rapidly expanded beyond Yi City. It destroyed the Jiuli Dynasty, accepted powerful elders and sects, established Divine Sword City as a center for the Sword Forging Pavilion's business, and accumulated an increasingly vast collection of inheritances and cultivation grounds. 194 357 362
