Background / History
Tongtian Cult Master committed the Jie Sect to protecting Fu Xi's Dao Attainment after learning that the Chan Sect and Western Sect intended to sabotage it. Although Duobao Daoist privately worried about confronting the Saint-backed Chan Sect, the disciples accepted Tongtian's command to mobilize. 130
The sect arrived at Shouyang Mountain under Tongtian's personal command, relieving the collapsing defensive formation and stabilizing the battlefield around Fu Xi. Jie Sect disciples fought the Chan Sect and Western Sect directly, used defensive formations to shield Fu Xi and Hu Shu, and endured severe casualties without retreating. Their intervention enabled Fu Xi to complete his Dao Attainment. 133 135
Following the battle, the Jie Sect became a lasting partner of the Human Race. Its disciples patrolled for threats, trained human warriors in cultivation techniques, joined defensive construction, and fought alongside Human Race forces in campaigns against the Chan Sect, Western Sect, and hidden enemies. 141 153 159 170
During the ZhaoGe crisis, Hu Shu formally sought the sect's support against the Chan Sect's planned exploitation of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity. Tongtian convened the disciples at Biyou Palace, where the sect debated whether assisting the Human Race was worth the risk of provoking the Chan Sect and its Saintly backing. 205 206
Hu Shu argued that the Chan Sect's suppression of the Human Race was only a preliminary step toward targeting the Jie Sect itself. Tongtian ultimately accepted this reasoning, citing the Jie Sect's doctrine of teaching without discrimination, and declared cooperation with Hu Shu. Most dissenting disciples accepted the decision. 207
The alliance later faced a serious internal fracture under pressure from the All Saints and Chan Sect. Some disciples attempted to abandon Hu Shu and leave the sect, while loyal members defended the alliance. Hu Shu and Tongtian restored much of the camp's morale, though a number of disciples ultimately departed and weakened the sect. 218 224 225
