Sacred Flame Sect

Biodata

History

Xiao Huo began recruiting for the Sacred Flame Sect through the Alchemist Guild, appointing Frank to handle registration and promising every recruit a Pipi Experience Pill. The offer immediately drew fervent interest from the Guild's disciples. 127

In its earliest stage, the sect existed primarily as a name and growing alliance rather than a completed institution. Gute, Hai Bodong, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, the Snake People Tribe, and members of the Heavenly Snake Mansion all pledged themselves to Xiao Huo's cause. 129 132 150 181 206 By this period, Xiao Huo envisioned it as a force capable of opposing the Soul Hall and eventually unifying the continent. 150 181

The sect was formally built in the Jia Ma Empire after Xiao Huo created its basic infrastructure in a wilderness site. Hai Bodong was tasked with planning the interior, while the elders were assigned sect affairs, disciples, resources, cultivation techniques, and recruitment. 275 Within half a month, its grounds had become a vast, luxurious sect complex protected by a seven-colored mountain-protecting formation. 276

Its first large-scale recruitment brought in 4,000 disciples in a single day. Most were initially Dou Zhe-level youths, but the sect's pills, cultivation environment, and material benefits rapidly attracted disciples and prodigies from major families and factions. 276 326

Major Arcs

Founding and Expansion

The Sacred Flame Sect grew from Xiao Huo's recruitment campaign into a formal Jia Ma Empire institution. Its rapid growth was fueled by exceptional cultivation resources, prominent allies, and Xiao Huo's conquest of local powers. 127 275 276 326

War with the Misty Cloud Sect and Xiao Yan

After Yun Shan declared war, Xiao Yan led a Monster Beast army against the Sacred Flame Sect. The sect's formation delayed the invasion, but eventually broke under Xiao Yan's assault. 376 380 381

Yun Yun, Medusa, Hai Bodong, Nalan Yanran, Chu Yaoyao, and the other disciples fought to protect the sect until Xiao Huo returned and took command. 382 383 386 Xiao Huo's victory over Xiao Yan established the Sacred Flame Sect as the foremost sect in the Jia Ma Empire. 392 396

Xiao Huo's Disappearance and Return

Following Xiao Huo's apparent death in a heavenly tribulation, the sect fell into chaos but refused to believe he was gone. Its female disciples remained loyal and declined association with men outside the sect. 399

Xiao Huo's appearance on the Nine Regions Ranking later confirmed his survival. Under Xiao Yu's leadership, the sect celebrated, vowed to grow stronger, and began sending disciples out for experience. 453 454
