Teachings

The Jie Sect’s Dao is embodied by “Jie”: seizing a thread of life for all beings. It rejects passive submission to Heaven’s decree and teaches that those willing to seek the Dao deserve an opportunity to hear it 3 4.

“For the All Beings of heaven and earth, Seize a Thread of Life! Teach Without Discrimination—so long as one possesses the heart to seek the Dao, one may hear the Dao!” 4

Its admissions philosophy does not judge candidates by origin, pedigree, or former affiliation. Nether River’s Blood Sea lineage, the Witch Clan’s warriors, Chaos beings, and former Chan Sect disciple Shen Gongbao are all accepted or considered under this principle 153 179 415 530.

The sect further emphasizes honoring one’s own Dao rather than Heaven, gods, or ghosts. Its disciples seek transcendence through their own effort, with the sect’s inclusive teachings intended to give every sincere seeker a chance to break from the limitations of bloodline, origin, and predetermined fate 15 157.

Members are expected to abide by sect rules, respect Tongtian and their senior brothers and sisters, and contribute to the Jie Sect 237. The Xuandi Heavenly Domain branch additionally promises protection, cultivation opportunities, and support against powerful enemies to those who join 513.

History

Xuandu’s admission

Before Xuandu joined, the Jie Sect was already renowned for its vast body of disciples, including Personal Disciples, the Seven Attendant Immortals, outer disciples, and registered disciples dispersed across the Great Wilderness 1. Xuandu chose it over Laozi’s Human Sect because its numerous disciples could empower his Total Sum System, whereas the Human Sect was expected to have only one disciple 1.

Xuandu arrived at Golden Ao Island and openly requested admission before Tongtian and Laozi. His stated wish to secure a chance of survival for the Human Race aligned with the Jie Sect’s teachings, leading Tongtian to accept him 3 4. His admission immediately activated the system’s real-time calculation of the sect’s combined cultivation 4.

Rise in fortune and influence

Xuandu’s promotion to Personal Disciple gave him equal standing with the sect’s leading disciples and made him an important bearer of the Jie Sect’s fortune 23. He later became Vice Sect Master and used that authority to recruit powerful beings and expand the sect’s reach 153 373.

The North Sea Black Tortoise’s admission brought its immense destiny and future sky-supporting merit into the sect, causing the Jie Sect’s Fortune River to surge 66. Xuandu’s acceptance of the Human Race as disciples later doubled the Jie Sect’s fortune through the Human Race’s rising destiny 103.

After Xuandu mended the sky and fixed the four poles, thirty percent of the resulting Sky-Mending Merit entered the Jie Sect, increasing its fortune by another thirty percent and establishing it as the foremost sect in the Great Wilderness 215.

Fuxi’s decision to join the Jie Sect further demonstrated the sect’s ability to attract beings previously tied to major rival factions, including the Demon Court and Nuwa 138.

Martial Dao and the Hunyuan path

Xuandu proposed spreading his Martial Dao throughout the Jie Sect as preparation for the Path of Hunyuan. The path requires a clear Dao Heart, profound foundations, and the ability to withstand the Great Dao Tribulation; Martial Dao cultivation is intended to strengthen the body, soul, and foundation for that attempt 157.

Tongtian accepted the proposal and tasked Xuandu with first teaching the Personal Disciples and core disciples 157. Duobao, Zhao Gongming, San Xiao, Wudang, Guiling, Jinling, Kong Xuan, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng are among those shown cultivating Martial Dao before the Witch-Demon War 175.

Xuandu subsequently imparted the Martial Dao True Meaning to the sect’s disciples. Tongtian activated the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation to isolate Golden Ao Island and protect the inheritance, allowing a thousand disciples to break through at once 164. After extended cultivation, the core disciples established a genuine Hunyuan foundation and advanced from the Golden Immortal of the Origin stage to its late and peak stages 312 373.

Break with the Three Pure Ones

When the Heavenly Dao attempted to erase Xuandu’s nascent Martial Dao Law, Tongtian intervened openly on Xuandu’s behalf 109. He declared that anyone seeking to destroy the Martial Dao was an enemy of the Jie Sect and severed his ties with Laozi and Yuanshi rather than permit their acceptance of the Heavenly Dao’s suppression 110.

This confrontation cemented the Jie Sect’s role as the principal defender of the Martial Dao, the Human Race’s independence, and the possibility of transcending Heavenly Dao restrictions 110 157.

Witch-Demon War

Xuandu negotiated for Witch Clan warriors—not the Ancestral Witches themselves—to enter the Jie Sect and cultivate Martial Dao. He presented it as a means to preserve the Witch Clan’s bloodline and enhance its warriors’ strength 179.

Tongtian agreed to receive the Witch Clan warriors on the condition that they obey Jie Sect rules and uphold its teachings 182. During the decisive battle at Buzhou Mountain, the Jie Sect’s elites arrived to aid the Witch Clan and caught the Demon Race off guard 199. Tens of millions of Witch Clan warriors are later counted among the Jie Sect’s forces 237.

Stabilizing the sect’s destiny

Although its fortune was immense, the Jie Sect lacked a supreme treasure capable of suppressing it; the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation’s killing nature instead attracted karma and calamity 242.

After obtaining the Chaos Bell, Xuandu chose to use it for the Jie Sect rather than keep it solely for personal combat. He refined the bell and suspended it above the sect’s Fortune Hub, stabilizing the sect’s previously unstable destiny 242 243.

Investiture of the Gods Tribulation

The Investiture of the Gods List initially placed a disproportionate burden on the Jie Sect: of 365 Orthodox Gods, 2,000 deputy gods, and 84,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, the Chan Sect and Human Sect were assigned only small portions while the remainder was demanded from the Jie Sect 375.

Tongtian entered Purple Heaven Palace alone to sign the list, while Xuandu ordered the Jie Sect to continue cultivating, teaching, and protecting the Human Race rather than retreat from its usual responsibilities 372 373. Duobao temporarily administered the sect during this period 373 374.

Tongtian rejected the inequitable allocation and demanded that Sages also be subject to the Investiture of the Gods List. Hongjun ultimately accepted this condition, forcing the opposing Sages to confront the possibility of being listed themselves 376.

When the tribulation began, Xuandu ordered the disciples to aid Shang, strike Western Qi, kill their enemies, and spare Jiang Ziya 437. The sect’s forces entered the battlefield under Duobao, Kong Xuan, Zhao Gongming, San Xiao, Wudang, Guiling, Jinling, and other disciples 437 438.

The Jie Sect immortals later returned to Golden Ao Island rather than suffering the intended destruction of their lineage 463. In the aftermath, Hongjun was banished, while Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa had their True Spirits confined within the Investiture of the Gods List under Haotian’s authority 472 582. Far from declining, the Jie Sect’s foundations continued to grow after the Heavenly Dao’s suppression was removed 582.

Expansion into the Xuandi Heavenly Domain

Following events in the Great Wilderness, Xuandu ordered Shen Ni to establish a Jie Sect branch in the Northern Border of the Xuandi Heavenly Domain, using the Central Floating Continent as its base 502 503.

The branch’s foundation includes Azure Mystery and Green Wood, both half-step Hunyuan Taiji beings, with Shen Ni acting as guardian 511 513. Its open recruitment draws rogue cultivators, Chaos beasts, transformed spiritual roots, and established cultivators from across the Heavenly Domain 512 513.

The branch offers its members protection, assistance against powerful enemies, and opportunities to break through. Its recruits include Withered Bones Daoist, Mountain Splitter, Yin Jiu, Old Madam Qinghe, Bai Chen, Qingluo, and other cultivators ranging from the Golden Immortal of the Origin stage to Zenith Heaven 512 513 514.

The Gray-Scaled Ancient Python and Earth Vein Purple Vine also choose to join after observing the branch’s growing strength and its treatment of disciples 530. Shichen, the ancient Time Demon God, seeks admission in order to restore his vitality and complete his Dao foundation, though Xuandu requires him to accept the sect’s master-disciple hierarchy and conditions before his entry is finalized 531.

Further Chaos expansion

Xuandu establishes a further branch headquarters in the Myriad Woods Ancestral Court, directing its disciples to guard their respective territories and cultivate while awaiting a path toward Hunyuan Taiji 541.

As his strength in the Chaos Depths rises, Xuandu uses his three Dao bodies to subdue five Hunyuan Taiji Mid-Stage existences from the Shattered Star Sea, Ashen Wasteland, and Profound Ice Heavenly Domain. They are brought into the Chaos Bead and join the Jie Sect, expanding its high-level Chaos membership 586.

Major Locations

Location	Function
Golden Ao Island	Main sect territory and home of the Jie Sect’s fortune nexus 4 243
Biyou Palace	Sect headquarters, Tongtian’s seat, and gathering site for major sermons and strategy meetings 4 25 182
Chaos Bead World	A world restored by Xuandu using Jie Sect and Human Race fortune; its spiritual energy exceeds that of the outside world, and its time acceleration develops from one hundred times to ten thousand times the outside flow 175 335
Central Floating Continent	Headquarters of the Jie Sect branch in the Xuandi Heavenly Domain 502 513
Myriad Woods Ancestral Court	Site designated as a further Jie Sect branch headquarters in the Chaos Depths 541

Connection to the Total Sum System

Xuandu’s Total Sum System is bound to the Jie Sect. Through his membership, it provides him with the combined attributes of its disciples, making the sect’s growth directly tied to his own power 1 4.

System function	Source within the Jie Sect	Documented status
Cultivation Sum	Combined cultivation of sect disciples	Activated when Xuandu joins 4
Root / Pedigree Sum	Combined roots and innate foundations	Unlocked following Kong Xuan’s entry 15
Cultivation Technique Sum	Disciples’ technique insights and experience	Synchronized after Xuandu’s Human Race campaign 45 46
Divine Ability Sum	Divine Abilities mastered by sect disciples	Unlocked after Kunpeng joins 79 80
Skill, Comprehension, and Destiny Sums	Combined attributes of Jie Sect members	Listed as unlocked by the time real-time effects are removed 410

The system originally caused Xuandu’s feedback to decline if Jie Sect disciples died or left the sect. Recruiting a Chaos God Demon ultimately removed this real-time weakness, leaving the Jie Sect’s accumulated sums intact 320 410.

By the time Xuandu prepares the Three Human Ancestors for the Human Dao Sage Fruit Positions, the system explicitly recognizes the Jie Sect’s Myriad Immortals, Guardians, and the countless Human Race members admitted through Xuandu as its foundation of feedback 335.

• The Total Sum System does not recognize the broader Xuanmen as a qualifying sect because it lacks a fixed disciple roster, unified structure, and clear destiny-distribution system 161.
