Background
Zheng Yi conceived the Great Luo Alliance as a means of merging the Qi Family, Soul Devouring Sect, and Black Cliff Mountain into a single force. He chose the name “Great Luo” to commemorate the Gathering Place he controlled in Luo City of the Apocalyptic World. The alliance was intended to exploit a regional power vacuum, consolidate resources, and support Zheng Yi's cultivation and expansion. 132
The Qi Family readily supported the merger because it was Zheng Yi's loyal subordinate force and the weakest party in the original tripartite arrangement. The weakened Soul Devouring Sect was brought under control through Yi Xunyou, while Black Cliff Mountain presented the principal obstacle due to its loose structure, rival cliques, and independent rogue-cultivator factions. 132
The alliance was formally founded at the renovated Soul Devouring Sect mountain gate. Zheng Yi took the Alliance Master position, while the silence of Yin Jade Matriarch, Yellow Crane Daoist, and Mirage Lord made clear that his authority was genuine rather than ceremonial. 133 134
Organization
Founding Forces
- Qi Family — Founding constituent and Zheng Yi's most dependable early ally; Qi Lin became the alliance's Grand Manager. 132 232
- Soul Devouring Sect — Host of the alliance headquarters; its surviving structure and mountain gate became the alliance's central axis. 133 145
- Black Cliff Mountain Rogue Cultivator Alliance — Founding constituent with a formerly decentralized network of markets, cliques, and rogue cultivators. 132
- Xin Family — Artifact-refining clan that joined after Zheng Yi recovered Xin Lingxian; it later established a major refining presence within the alliance. 151 191
- Asura Orthodoxy — Third major power under the alliance, established at the vacated Golden Celestial Sect mountain gate by the Nether River Daoist and the Asura race. 206
Leadership
- Zheng Yi — Founder and Alliance Master; the alliance's authority, expansion, and deterrence depend heavily on his personal power. 132 242
- Qi Lin — Grand Manager responsible for administration, territorial development, recruitment, intelligence work, and diplomacy. 171 232
- Gongliang Shu — Leading Blood Cultivator who commanded alliance forces during the Qin Family campaign. 172
- Blood Nether Child Li Wenhua — Early Purple Mansion cultivator who guarded the alliance during Zheng Yi's absence. 239
Blood Cultivators
Blood Cultivators form the alliance's core military strength. Their bloodline connection gives them extraordinary loyalty to Zheng Yi and the Great Luo Alliance, contributing to the force's cohesion during crises. 193 198
- Four Blood Cultivators reached Foundation Establishment within the alliance's first three years. 145
- Many Blood Cultivators advanced following the war against the Golden Celestial Sect Alliance. 204
- Their fearlessness and loyalty enabled the alliance to resist a superior invading force for months. 197 198
Resources & Infrastructure
- Soul Devouring Sect headquarters — The alliance's original central headquarters and mountain gate. 133 145
- Blood Cultivator guard force — Blood Cultivators from the Qi Family were transferred to reinforce the Soul Devouring Sect's depleted guards. 133
- Artifact-refining branch — Established after the Xin Family's allegiance; the clan used alliance resources to mass-produce low- and mid-grade artifacts. 151 191
- Grand Yin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array — A powerful defensive array capable of threatening Purple Mansion cultivators and defending the mountain gate during the siege. 161 197
- Golden Celestial Sect mountain gate — Acquired as reparations; it contained six second-grade spirit veins and one upper-rank third-grade spirit vein. 206
- Law Transmission Hall — Holds selected non-core inheritance from Zheng Yi's Dao Treasury, available to alliance disciples through alliance points. 244
History
Founding and Early Expansion
The Great Luo Alliance emerged from Zheng Yi's consolidation of three local forces. Its rapid formation alarmed nearby sects and cultivation families, which considered a united alliance far more dangerous than the previously fragmented Soul Devouring Sect and Black Cliff Mountain. 132 134
Within three years, the alliance had expanded its territory, absorbed surrounding forces, and increased its Foundation Establishment cultivators to eight. Its Blood Cultivators became the central force directly controlled by Zheng Yi. 145
Xin Family and the Qin Family War
The Xin Family entered the alliance after the Qin Family destroyed much of its clan and seized the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine. Zheng Yi recovered Xin Lingxian, secured the Xin Family's allegiance, and established an artifact-refining branch to incorporate its expertise. 151 171
Using the Xin Family's destruction as justification, the Great Luo Alliance attacked the Qin Family. Gongliang Shu demanded the return of the Xin Family's territory, compensation, and the surrender of those responsible; Zheng Yi then intervened with Purple Mansion-level strength, crushing Qin Wufeng and shifting the conflict decisively in the alliance's favor. 172 173
The alliance seized the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine and occupied nearly half of the Qin Family's territory. Its gains later attracted retaliation from the Qin Family's Purple Mansion ancestor, who reclaimed the mine while Zheng Yi was absent. 173 183
Siege by the Three Sects
The Golden Celestial Sect joined with Star Devouring Demon City and the Savage Beast Sect to besiege the Great Luo Alliance. The attackers sought both the alliance's accumulated wealth and information concerning the lost Tai Bai Divine Metal. 193 198
Despite being outnumbered and gradually losing its outer territories, the alliance maintained cohesion. Its Blood Cultivators, fortified mountain gate, defensive formations, and extensive spending on alliances and countermeasures delayed the siege for nearly three months. 197 198
When the mountain gate faced imminent collapse, Zheng Yi returned as the Ghost Lord with Netherworld Soldiers, Ghost Kings, and the Five Ghost Soul Lifting Carriage. His arrival restored morale throughout the alliance. 198 199
Rise to Regional Hegemony
Zheng Yi annihilated the five Purple Mansion cultivators commanding the invading army, including Golden Celestial Sect Grand Elder Bao Xuzi. The Great Luo Alliance then pursued the routed enemy, while surrounding sects and families rushed to seek cooperation after the victory. 203
Taiyin Xuantian Sect prevented the alliance from completely annexing the Golden Celestial Sect, but Zheng Yi obtained reparations and its mountain gate. The site was transformed into the base of the Asura Orthodoxy. 206
With its territory expanded more than tenfold, strong military forces, and abundant resources, the Great Luo Alliance became a hegemon-level power in the surrounding region. 232
Relationships
- Zheng Yi — Founder, Alliance Master, and the alliance's central deterrent; he treats the organization primarily as a source of resources and support for cultivation. 132 169
- Qi Lin — Grand Manager and longtime subordinate; oversees the alliance's affairs, recruitment, territorial growth, and intelligence operations. 171 232
- Xin Family — Allied artifact-refining clan whose survival, status, and future became tied to the Great Luo Alliance after Xin Lingxian's recovery. 151 157
- Nine Yin Palace — Strategic ally during the Qin Family conflict, but it withdrew from the alliance's side when threatened by the Golden Celestial Sect coalition. 146 193
- Golden Celestial Sect — Major enemy that led the siege against the alliance; later ceded its mountain gate and spirit veins as reparations. 193 203 206
- Star Devouring Demon City — Enemy during the siege; it opposed the alliance partly because the Soul Devouring Sect had broken away from its former control. 193
- Savage Beast Sect — Enemy during the siege and participant in the three-sect coalition. 193 203
- Asura Orthodoxy — Subordinate power established from the Nether River Daoist's Asura lineage; serves as a separate force that strengthens and checks the alliance. 206
Trivia
- The alliance's name commemorates Zheng Yi's original Gathering Place in Luo City. 132
- During its founding assembly, guards wore sky-blue robes embroidered with the words “Great Luo.” 133
- The Great Luo Alliance's dependence on Zheng Yi is considered its greatest structural weakness; without him, it has far less Purple Mansion-level deterrence. 242
