Background / History

Void Gate is an ancient cultivation sect located on Void Mountain. Its grounds are marked by jade-paved mountain paths, mist-shrouded Dao buildings, and a tranquil immortal atmosphere. Mo Hua formally completes entry procedures there after being led through the sect by Shangguan Xu. The environment noticeably calms his state of mind and Divine Consciousness. 590

Mo Hua later returns to Void Gate after investigating the human-trafficking and Evil God-related disturbances in Ganxue Prefecture. 671

The sect becomes a target of forces connected to an Evil God when the Tree of Divine Authority descends upon it. The Long-Bearded Elder, stationed within the sealed Sword Graveyard, recognizes the descending authority as that of an Evil God. 712

During the conflict, Mr. Tu concludes that Void Gate has raised a “Fierce God” to oppose the God Lord. The supposed Fierce God destroys Demon Specters and breaks through a God Lock Array, but its identity is not publicly established in the available account. 793 794

Void Gate was formerly one of Ganxue Prefecture's Eight Great Sects and had fallen behind its related sects, Ta'a Gate and Chongxu Gate, as its sword inheritance declined and its divine swords and sword arts were sealed. Its deeper legacy nevertheless remained formidable, particularly its Divine Sense Sword inheritance and its ability to suppress evil beings. 690 741 895

Following the agreement of the three sects' ancestors, Void Gate merged with Ta'a Gate and Chongxu Gate. The merged institution retained the name “Void Gate,” while the three original sects remained as branches and their existing elders, instructors, disciples, and sect masters generally retained their positions. 895

Under Mo Hua's leadership and array-based Dao Soldier tactics, Void Gate won first place in the Ganxue Sword Discussion, Array Discussion, and overall Dao Discussion. Rather than being placed among the Four Great Sects, it was elevated by the Celestial Authority Pavilion into the separate rank of “Three Mountains,” above the Four Great Sects in Ganxue Prefecture's revised hierarchy. 1006 1104

Void Gate remains Mo Hua's acknowledged sect affiliation during his later travels. His Sect Jade Pass, bearing the marks of Void Gate's elders and ancestors, is treated as evidence significant enough for True Person Zhuge and the Imperial Observatory to investigate and recognize. 1104 1313 1315

Sect Grounds

Void Gate's mountain complex is ancient, simple, and imposing, with clouds and rosy mist permeating the area. 590

• Void Gate is situated on the ancient and majestic Void Mountain. 591
• A broad jade-stone mountain road rises toward the summit like a stairway to heaven and connects the Inner and Outer Mountains. 590 591
• Pavilions, terraces, towers, halls, palaces, and courtyards line both sides of the central path. 590
• The buildings possess an antique character and are enveloped by white mountain mist. 590
• A central Dao Field is used for major sect ceremonies, including the sect-opening ceremony held for newly admitted disciples. 590
• The sect includes a Sword Graveyard protected by multiple layers of Array Techniques. 712
• Void Gate's Back Mountain contains ancestral sites, sealed inheritances, and sword-related defenses left by prior generations. 690 1097

Organization

• Void Gate Sect Master — A Feather Transformation cultivator; he does not fully perceive the heavenly anomaly witnessed by the Void Insight ancestors. Following the Three Sects Merger, he is one of the sect masters of the Three Mountains. 982 895
• Old Ancestor Murong — Void Gate's Void Insight old ancestor; gathers with the old ancestors of Ta'a Gate and Chongxu Gate after the anomaly. 982
• Elder Xun — Senior protector of Mo Hua and a principal authority within Void Gate. He seeks a means for Void Gate to survive the surrounding Evil Thoughts, manages the sect's response to crises, and protects Mo Hua from outside investigation. 711 892 981
• Xun Ziyou — Elder who accompanies Mo Hua during the Lone Mountain crisis, reports directly to Elder Xun, and is entrusted with activating the warning token connected to Mo Hua's Void Two Poles Lock. 981
• Long-Bearded Elder — Guards the Sword Graveyard and detects the Evil God's authority descending on the sect. 712
• Old Ancestor Dugu — A Void Gate ancestor associated with the sect's Divine Sense Sword inheritance. His descendant, Dugu Xuan, was later refined into a Ghostly Slave by the Ghost Daoist. 900 1394
• Shangguan Xu — Leads Mo Hua through the sect and assists with his entry procedures. 590
• Ta'a and Chongxu Sect Masters — Continue administering their respective branches after the merger, preserving Ta'a's sword-forging lineage and Chongxu's Sword Qi lineage within the unified Void Gate. 895 1036

Sect Heritage and Status

Void Gate's three branches preserve complementary sword Dao inheritances. The Ta'a branch specializes in sword forging, the Chongxu branch specializes in Sword Qi and conventional sword arts, and the Void branch historically possesses Sword Intent and Divine Sense Sword methods. 895 1036

The Void branch's greatest inheritance is the Supreme Void Divine Sense Sword Transformation Art, a once-renowned sword art capable of threatening gods and Evil Spirits. Because of its extreme danger and cultivation requirements, it became a forbidden art that could no longer be openly transmitted. 611 741 995

During the Ganxue Dao Discussion, Elder Xun publicly maintained that the sword art used by Mo Hua was instead the newly created Supreme Void Soul-Startling Sword Intent Art, rather than the prohibited Supreme Void Divine Sense Sword Transformation Art. 1051

Although many outsiders initially disparage Void Gate as a sect with shallow foundations and an undeserved elevation, its rise causes clans and sects throughout Ganxue Prefecture to compete privately for admission and connections. 1104

Defensive Measures

Void Two Poles Lock

Elder Xun places a Void Two Poles Lock on Mo Hua, sealing and obscuring aspects of his Karma while forming a protective connection between him and Void Gate. The lock senses Mo Hua's vitality and helps prevent outsiders from prying into his circumstances through Heavenly Calculation. 892 981

• Xun Ziyou can crush a Void Sword Token to notify the old ancestor if Mo Hua faces a critical threat within Ganxue territory. 981
• The lock serves as a protective connection between Mo Hua and Void Gate's senior figures. 981
• The complexity of the lock and its surrounding karmic protections prevents outside clans, sects, and even accomplished Heavenly Calculation cultivators from easily tracing Mo Hua's origins. 892 893

Heavenly Calculation and Record Sealing

Void Gate seals Mo Hua's birthplace and ancestral records as core sect secrets after he becomes the Array Dao Champion. Access is restricted to the sect master and ancestor-level figures. 892

• Void Gate's Heavenly Calculation Lock obstructs attempts by external clans and sects to calculate Mo Hua's Karma. 892
• The sect closes its mountain gates and cuts off outside disturbances and Karma calculations when Mo Hua's Fate undergoes a dangerous Reverse Transformation. 1097
• Its protection of Mo Hua's information contributes to widespread speculation regarding his identity, relationship to the sect, and possible connection to its ancestors. 892

Array and Sword Defenses

Void Gate possesses high-level Array Technique defenses, including the layered sealing of its Sword Graveyard. 712

• The Long-Bearded Elder previously cut out a Dao Sin with a single sword strike while responding to Evil Spirits, though he suffered a hidden loss. 712
• During the God Lord conflict, a force identified by enemies as Void Gate's “Fierce God” destroys Demon Specters and breaches God Lock Arrays. 793 794
• Mr. Tu speculates that the Fierce God may reside in, or be symbiotic with, a flesh-and-blood Divine-Human; he considers Mo Hua the principal suspect, but treats the matter as unconfirmed. 1064
• Void Gate's ancient mountain gate and Back Mountain sword legacy are feared for their capacity to identify and destroy evil or demonic beings entering the sect. 652 1097

Five Elements Source Armor

During the Ganxue Sword Discussion, Void Gate equips its disciples with standardized Spirit Artifacts, specialized armor, and array-based equipment designed for coordinated Dao Soldier combat. 1005 1006

• The Five Elements Source Armor incorporates the Five Elements Source Array to amplify the combat strength of Void Gate disciples. 1046
• Mo Hua's custom arrays and Spirit Artifacts are tailored to counter the inheritances and equipment of rival sects. 1005 1013
• In the Asura Battle, the armor's amplification allows Void Gate's smaller force to rout a substantially larger group of prodigies from the Four Sects and Seven Gates in an initial direct clash. 1046

Relationships

• Mo Hua — Sect member protected by the Void Two Poles Lock; he enters the sect in person and later returns to it after events in Ganxue Prefecture. He becomes Void Gate's Array Dao Champion, leads its disciples in the Ganxue Dao Discussion, and is entrusted with exceptional authority and access to the Three Mountains' inheritances. 590 671 981 1041 1042
• Elder Xun — Senior protector of Mo Hua who worries over how Void Gate can find a path of survival amid pervasive Evil Thoughts. He seals Mo Hua's Karma, defends him against scrutiny, and gives him grave counsel regarding the danger of his Fate and accumulated killing sin. 711 892 981 1104
• Old Ancestor Murong — Void Gate's Void Insight old ancestor. 982
• Ta'a Gate and Chongxu Gate — Sister sects of shared origin that merge with Void Gate into the Three Mountains. Their sword-forging and Sword Qi inheritances complement Void Gate's Sword Intent legacy. 895 1036
• True Person Zhuge — Former Void Gate disciple and Imperial Observatory cultivator who investigates Mo Hua's Jade Pass, protects him while his identity is verified, and later orders him to return to Void Gate after the events at Dragon Pool. 1313 1315 1380
• Dugu Xuan — A Void Gate senior and descendant of Old Ancestor Dugu who is transformed into a Broken Sword Ghostly Slave by the Ghost Daoist. Mo Hua recognizes him through the corrupted form of Void Gate's Divine Sense Sword Transformation Art. 1394
• God Lord / Mr. Tu — Hostile forces that view Void Gate's alleged Fierce God as a threat to the God Lord's plans. 793 1064
• Duanjin Gate and Guishui Gate — Rival sects with lasting grievances against Void Gate, intensified by Mo Hua's use of their own inheritances and techniques to develop countermeasures during the Sword Discussion. 1013 1015 1041
• Celestial Authority Pavilion / Dao Court — Recognizes Void Gate's post-discussion status by establishing the Three Mountains as a rank above the Four Great Sects. The Central Dao Court also seals records connected to Mo Hua alongside Void Gate's own protections. 892 1104
