Background / History

Origin Sect was already a major customer of the Great Luo Pill Dao before the latter's destruction. After recruiting 25,000 disciples, it commissioned an enormous five-year supply of medicinal pills, including one million Grain Abstinence Pills alone. Master Mieqing calls it the foremost orthodox sect of the realm. 11

When the Great Luo Pill Dao requested an investigation into a heavenly-lightning anomaly and demonic activity, Origin Sect dispatched 3,000 elite disciples. Its forces arrived after Blood God Ancestor's assault on Spring Return Valley, finding Lin Xiao as the sole surviving disciple. 32 33

Yi Xin offered Lin Xiao the position of guest elder: he would refine pills for Origin Sect, while the sect would provide medicinal materials and assist his search for the reincarnated souls of his former sectmates. Lin Xiao accepted, becoming Origin Sect's youngest guest elder on Qi Yuan Star. 32

Territory and Influence

Area	Details
Core world	Qi Yuan Star, described as the origin of the cultivation world 33
Sphere of influence	Qi Yuan Star and thirteen inhabited planets, for a total of fourteen worlds 33
Mortal population	More than thirty billion ordinary people live within its territory 33
Political authority	The Qi Dynasty is supported by Origin Sect; from its monarch to its soldiers, the dynasty's personnel are nominal sect disciples 33
Direct disciples	More than one million 33
Mountain gate	Spans more than 50,000 li, including Three Manor Houses, Three Academies, Three Prefectures, Three Caves, Eighteen Spirit Peaks, Ninety-Nine Spirit Waters, and 1,072 spirit mountains 33
Core residence	Qi Yuan Cave lies on Sky-Supporting Cliff and has a spiritual vein with energy more than ten times denser than the outside world 33

Origin Sect is counted among the three strongest sects in the cultivation world. Azure Nether Palace and Hidden Source Hall are considered its peers, though even they acknowledge that their combined disciple numbers do not approach Origin Sect's scale. 33

Organization

• Sect Leader Yi Xing — Leads the sect's major decisions, military responses, and negotiations; he accepted responsibility for aiding Lin Xiao's revenge and search for reincarnated disciples. 32 36
• Yi generation — Senior leadership tier that includes Yi Xing, Yi Xin, Yi Yi, Yi Zhen, Yi Zhi, and other elders. 35 36 48
• Xuan generation — Higher senior elders, including Xuan Yuan, Xuan Heng, and Xuan Luo; several have entered the Void Realm. 48
• Qing generation — At least two elders entered the Void Realm five hundred years earlier and remained engaged in an undisclosed important matter. 48
• Artifact Hall — Oversees large-scale artifact forging from Skyfire Peak, including the construction of Lin Xiao's Pill Frying Furnace. 35 36
• Medicine Mountain and Pill Room — Supply spiritual herbs and pill materials; the sect's pill stock became strategically important after the destruction of the Great Luo Pill Dao. 37 45

Assets and Techniques

Interstellar Teleportation Arrays

Origin Sect operates through large interstellar teleportation networks. Its Qi Yuan Star arrival point contains dozens of giant arrays, while the route from the former Great Luo Pill Dao world required a massive array set with high-grade Spirit Stones. 33

• Connects Origin Sect's planetary sphere of influence.
• Supports a major cultivation market and constant traffic of cultivators. 33
• Origin Sect cultivators protected Lin Xiao with True Essence when teleportation pressure overwhelmed him. 33

Defensive Formations

Origin Sect can rapidly deploy large-scale formations around internal threats.

• During Immortal Miao's infiltration, its disciples established eighteen layers of the Heavenly Net Array around a residential courtyard within two cups of tea. 46
• The operation included thirty Yi-generation elders, fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators, and nearly three hundred Golden Core disciples. 46

Mysterious Origin Green Bell

The Mysterious Origin Green Bell is a high-grade Immortal Artifact used against threats connected to Blood God Ancestor. 48 49

• Eighteen Xuan-generation elders jointly lifted and activated the bell. 49
• Its sound-wave gale spread across Qi Yuan Star and into the void. 49
• Activation harmed the elders involved and severely scattered Yaoying's recovering body. 49

Artifact Refining

The Artifact Hall possesses immense material reserves and the ability to mobilize dozens of refiners for extraordinary projects. 36

• Pill Frying Furnace — A hundred-zhang furnace designed by Lin Xiao and forged by Yi Zhen, eighty-one artifact-refining elders, and nearly a thousand additional Daoists. 36
• Spirit Gathering Array — Lin Xiao gave Origin Sect this formation, which can allow artifacts to absorb ambient spiritual energy and evolve over time. 36
• Furnace arrays — The finished furnace contains the Three Illusions Thunder Array, Skyfire Burning God Array, and Four Spirits Demon Slaying Array for offense and defense. 38
• Fire Crystal Pillar — An eighteen-li pillar connects the furnace to underground spiritual veins, powers its fires, and can release accumulated energy as an offensive beam. 38

Relationship with the Great Luo Pill Dao

Origin Sect maintained a major commercial relationship with the Great Luo Pill Dao, commissioning vast quantities of cultivation pills before the latter's fall. 11 19

After the massacre at Spring Return Valley, Origin Sect sheltered Lin Xiao, recognized the value of the Great Luo Pill Scripture preserved in his mind, and committed resources to his rebuilding efforts. 32 36

• It provided Lin Xiao a spiritual-spring residence, restorative pills, and a servant, Qingchu. 33
• It supplied the immense materials and labor required for the Pill Frying Furnace. 35 36
• Lin Xiao's mass pill production restored Origin Sect's depleted market supply and strengthened its position as a supply station for cultivators exploring nearby ruins. 37 39
• Yi Xing ordered secrecy within the sect concerning Lin Xiao's inheritance of the Great Luo Pill Scripture. 45

Story Role / Major Arcs

Enshrining Lin Xiao

Origin Sect investigates the destruction of the Great Luo Pill Dao and rescues Lin Xiao's remaining hope: the knowledge that his sectmates' souls survived for possible reincarnation. Yi Xin arranges for him to become a guest elder, while Yi Xing accepts the arrangement despite initially objecting to her acting without his consent. 32

Establishment on Qi Yuan Star

The sect transports Lin Xiao to Qi Yuan Star and grants him a residence near a spiritual spring. Its scale, wealth, spiritual veins, markets, and million-strong disciple base establish it as the primary force capable of supporting his plans to rebuild the Great Luo Pill Dao. 33

Pill Frying Furnace Project

After Lin Xiao reveals that he possesses the Great Luo Pill Scripture's inheritance and offers the Spirit Gathering Array, Origin Sect commits its material reserves and Artifact Hall to forge his unprecedented pill furnace. 36

The finished furnace enables Lin Xiao to refine seven pill types at once and produce hundreds of thousands of pills rapidly, replenishing the sect's market inventory and earning him widespread respect. 37 39

Immortal Miao's Infiltration

Origin Sect discovers that Immortal Miao has infiltrated its mountain gate through Princess Xiu and County Princess Jie. Yi Xing leads the encirclement and capture operation, while the sect's elders and formations contain the peak Nascent Soul cultivator. 44 46

Though Immortal Miao nearly devastates the mountain gate, Yaoying's Bewitching Immortal Powder creates an opening for Yi Xin to use a Profound Spirit One Qi True Thunder Seed against him. 47

Conflict with Blood God Ancestor

After extracting Immortal Miao's knowledge of Blood God Ancestor, Origin Sect elects to ring the Mysterious Origin Green Bell. Its signal reaches distant Void Realm cultivators and draws attention to the larger demonic threat. 48 49

When Qing Yi and Qing Chu are gravely wounded during Blood God Ancestor's attack, Origin Sect summons Lin Xiao to determine how they can be saved. He identifies the Soul Continuation Pill as the necessary remedy, requiring a drop of Ten Thousand Year Blood Dragon heart's vital blood. 50

Relationships

• Azure Nether Palace and Hidden Source Hall — The other two sects regarded as Origin Sect's peers among the cultivation world's leading powers. 33

Trivia
