Organization

Division / group Role and status
Outer sect A network of seventeen settlements whose disciples perform labor, cultivate, and trade within a largely enclosed sect economy. It is regarded externally as a place for menial servants rather than the sect’s true core 25 38.
Inner sect The sect’s principal body in the eyes of the outside world. Inner disciples have greater cultivation resources and may be assigned as magistrates or city lords after passing assessments 38 45.
Personal disciples Disciples attached to elders. They can be dispatched alongside inner disciples for important matters, such as the search for the murderer active in Cloud City 35.
Elders High-status cultivators who oversee major functions, including the Law Enforcement Hall and personal disciples 42 43.
Stewards Outer-sect administrators who assign work, lease spirit fields, and manage disciple affairs 1 20.

Cultivation System and Resources

The sect represents the modern demonic path’s shift away from indiscriminate human sacrifice. Rather than relying primarily on slaughter, it uses controlled resources, territory, and the breeding of exotic creatures to sustain large numbers of cultivators 16 26.

  • Two-Legged Sheep — Exotic beasts raised as substitutes for human sacrificial materials. Their blood, souls, skin, flesh, and bones can all be used in demonic cultivation or artifact refinement 16 26.
  • Demonic blood — Sold in the outer-sect marketplace for body-tempering techniques and artifact refinement 25 26.
  • Spirit rice — A basic necessity for low-level cultivation. Outer disciples receive low-grade spirit rice, and losing this nourishment can cause spiritual energy to decline 5 6.
  • Cloud and Rain Art — A spell required to become a Spirit Planter. Spirit Planters tend sect fields, submit a harvest quota, and retain the surplus 10.
  • Outer-sect techniques — Generally low-grade, entry-level arts with limited long-term potential; practical combat spells are scarce among ordinary outer disciples 10 24.

Territory and Facilities

Location / facility Description
Blood Mist Valley A blood-mist-filled valley used for herding two-legged sheep. The stench is severe even through the masks issued to handlers 1 10.
Outer-sect settlements Seventeen settlements containing thatched cottages, wooden huts, spirit fields, and an internal marketplace 10 25.
Outer-sect marketplace A market where disciples trade spirit rice, talismans, magical artifacts, and demonic blood. It also includes taverns and brothels 25 26.
Cloud City The largest city within the sect’s territory, described as its equivalent of an imperial capital 30.
Main altar / inner sect The elevated core of the sect, distinct from the scattered outer-sect settlements below 38.

Membership and Advancement

  • Outer disciples are generally restricted from leaving the sect except during the annual gate-opening period, when they may descend the mountain for roughly one month 30.
  • The annual gate opening is also a major intake period for new disciples 30.
  • The biennial sect selection tournament allows outer disciples with exceptional aptitude or at least the ninth level of Qi Refining to enter the inner sect 45.
  • For most outer disciples, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining within ten years is the only route to inner-sect admission; those who miss that limit are considered to have poor aptitude 50.
  • Inner-sect membership provides a registered identity token, greater resources, and prospects for official postings in the sect’s territory 45.

Rules and Enforcement

The sect is characterized as “lawful evil”: it maintains rules and order, but its laws provide little protection for ordinary people 12 35.

  • Killing within sect territory is permitted if the killer pays the required fine 35.
  • A mysterious cultivator who killed and drained Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators in Cloud City provoked the sect by refusing to pay the fine or submit to its rules 35.
  • In response, the sect sent inner disciples and elders’ personal disciples to Cloud City to hunt the culprit; the search was reportedly treated as a temporary assessment with rewards for success 35.
  • Four elders, including Law Enforcement Hall elder Ge Hongshan, attempted to protect Qin Haie from the Flesh-Bone Spirit Puppet but could not contain it 42 43.
  • Qin Haie’s death was investigated for ten days, then effectively abandoned when no further attacks occurred and no culprit was found 45.

Notable Members

  • Li Muyang — Outer disciple and former herder of two-legged sheep; later leased remote spirit fields and worked as a Spirit Planter 1 20 25.
  • Guan Xiaoshun — Outer disciple and Spirit Planter who had joined the sect a year before Li Muyang 6 10.
  • Steward Wang — Outer-sect steward who leases spirit fields and assists disciples with practical matters 20 35.
  • Qi Rui — Elder and master of Qin Haie 43.
  • Ge Hongshan — Law Enforcement Hall elder and specialist in curses and talismans 42 43.
  • Qin Haie — Qi Rui’s Golden Core personal disciple, who was killed through attacks on her soul in dreams 43 44.
