Background / History

The Profound Spirit Sect possessed a legacy of roughly two thousand years and was older than the Sacred Extremity Sect’s establishment in the Southern Heaven Domain. It became one of the region’s major powers and the Sacred Extremity Sect’s sworn enemy. Their territories were separated by buffer zones rather than directly adjacent core domains, but disputes over resources repeatedly escalated into open warfare. 126 197 405

Approximately a century before the sect’s destruction, the Profound Spirit Sect assassinated several of the Sacred Extremity Sect’s most outstanding younger-generation talents. The losses left the Sacred Extremity Sect without a new Void Realm expert for nearly a century and contributed to its prolonged decline. 385

The sect maintained powerful disciples and elders. Sikong Nan was celebrated as one of its future twin stars and had already killed three Grandmasters while in the Innate Realm. Another generation of experts, including Shi Wushuang, later became central to the sect’s campaign against the Sacred Extremity Sect. 292 391

The Profound Spirit Sect also operated through covert alliances. It supported the Moluo Cult and secretly recruited the Situ Family, offering Situ Longcheng a Blood Longevity Pill in exchange for the family’s submission and an attack on Sacred Extremity Sect disciples inside a spiritual realm. 316 325 332

Abilities & Resources

High-Level Martial Power

The sect possessed enough top-tier strength to dominate the Southern Heaven Domain battlefield for a period and force the Sacred Extremity Sect into retreat.

• Its high-level forces included Void Realm ancestors, Great Grandmasters, Grandmasters, and powerful younger disciples. 104 292 392
• During its ambush of the Sacred Extremity Sect, it fielded fourteen Void Realm or higher experts, including a Cave-Heaven cultivator from outside the region. 392
• Ancestor Sikong’s arrival alone placed both sects under overwhelming pressure and caused weaker Sacred Extremity Sect disciples to faint. 390 391
• The sect’s military advantage collapsed after Xie Qingtian defeated Shi Wushuang and the Sacred Extremity Sect launched a counteroffensive. 384 387 390

Mountain-Protection Formation

The Profound Spirit Sect’s mountain gate was defended by a powerful formation that remained intact despite sustained attacks from Yang Qingyun and three Void Realm ancestors.

• The formation was maintained through spirit stones, earth veins, and the coordinated efforts of the sect’s disciples. 408
• It resisted the attackers for half a day even after the sect’s Void Realm leadership had fallen. 408
• Yang Qingyun broke it with the Yin Yang Life and Death Mirror, an attack the three Void Realm ancestors could not reproduce through ordinary force. 409 410
• Once the formation collapsed, the sect’s morale and organized resistance disintegrated. 410

Covert Operations

The sect frequently targeted the Sacred Extremity Sect’s promising disciples through infiltration, assassination, and ambushes.

• Its earlier assassination of Sacred Extremity Sect prodigies contributed to a century of suppression. 385
• It ambushed Xie Qingtian after his return from True Master Fang’s trial, killing his companions and Dao Protector while leaving him severely wounded. 380

• Its later ambush of the Sacred Extremity Sect’s senior forces was supported by Central Continent experts and a Cave-Heaven cultivator. 391 392

Sect Legacy and Wealth

• Its mountain gate contained spiritual items, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and other resources accumulated over centuries. 405 411
• A Spiritual Liquid Pool within the mountain gate was reserved for disciples attempting to break through to the Void Realm. 413
• After the sect’s destruction, the Sacred Extremity Sect seized its wealth and used the mountain gate’s resources and intelligence for its own benefit. 405 413

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rivalry with the Sacred Extremity Sect

The Profound Spirit Sect serves as the Sacred Extremity Sect’s principal long-term antagonist. Its repeated victories, assassinations, and pressure on the Sacred Extremity Sect’s territory created the central sect conflict in the Southern Heaven Domain. 126 380 382

Ancient Grotto-Heaven Trial

The sect sent a powerful younger-generation contingent into the ancient grotto-heaven, led by figures including Sikong Nan. Only three of its participants survived, leaving Old Daoist Yuan furious and exposing the cost of its rivalry with the Sacred Extremity Sect. 292 293

Spiritual-Realm Conspiracy

The Profound Spirit Sect used the Situ Family’s discovery of a spiritual realm as a trap. Its envoy coordinated with the Situ patriarchs and the Moluo Cult to eliminate Sacred Extremity Sect disciples and gain control of the realm’s deeper opportunities. 313 316 325

Southern Heaven Domain War

The sect gained the upper hand in the war, pushing the Sacred Extremity Sect out of more than half its territory. Xie Qingtian’s advancement to the Great Grandmaster Realm reversed the battlefield momentum, but the Profound Spirit Sect responded by deploying Ancestor Sikong and preparing a final offensive. 382 387 390 391

Destruction of the Mountain Gate

After Xie Qingtian defeated Shi Wushuang and the Profound Spirit Sect’s leadership was eliminated in the ensuing conflict, the Sacred Extremity Sect attacked the mountain gate. Yang Qingyun broke the sect-protecting formation with the Yin Yang Life and Death Mirror, after which the sect was subdued and its resources were seized. 405 408 410 413
