Entry and Advancement

• Martial Examination recommendation: A Top Candidate receives an internally recommended slot. Successful entry through this route grants immediate Inner Disciple status 111.
• Five Inner Courtyards: Their Core Disciples compete in a ranking tournament that displays the sect’s younger generation and concerns the choice of the next Sect Master 160.
• Courtyard-wide rewards: A Core Disciple’s placement affects the resources available to their courtyard. Lin Tian’s third-seat result gives Wood Courtyard disciples 20% more monthly resources and five days of Spirit-Drawing Tower access each month 165.
• Mission points: Demon-suppression achievements earn contribution points. Lin Tian receives nearly 15,000 points from one expedition; within the sect, points are more valuable and useful than silver 148.
• Upper-sect opportunities: The sect supports participation in the Dao Origin Sect’s Hundred Sects Plan, but decides that disciples should not be forced to join against their wishes 246.

Resources and Facilities

Heavenly Marrow Resources

Resource	Properties and Distribution
Heavenly Marrow Earth Vein	The sect’s foundational resource. Mo Sheli credits the Dao Origin Sect’s protection with allowing the Heavenly Derivation Sect to retain it without attracting predatory outsiders 175 204.
Heavenly Marrow Fluid	Accelerates cultivation and improves root-bone aptitude. Its scarcity leads the sect to dilute ordinary distributions with medicinal herbs 183 201.
Undiluted Heavenly Marrow Fluid	Reserved for special support. During the Heavenly Dynasty Sect crisis, ten bottles are entrusted to four Core Disciples to divide among themselves 183.
Heavenly Marrow Treasure Fluid	A stronger resource supplied to Lin Tian by Hua Chengming. Its effect surpasses the three bottles of Heavenly Marrow Fluid Lin Tian had previously obtained 187 189.
Geocentric Cavern	Discovered within the sect’s managed territory; can continuously produce Geocentric Milk. Its discovery creates a resource dispute with the Heavenly Dynasty Sect 175.

Heavenly Marrow Fluid is reportedly extracted from sufficiently high-quality Heavenly Marrow Crystals found beneath the sect; better crystals yield stronger fluid 187.

Facilities and Mounts

• Spirit-Drawing Tower — An Inner Sect cultivation facility reportedly connected to an Earth Vein’s spiritual energy. Lin Tian measures an almost 50% increase in cultivation speed there; private chambers can be rented with silver 148.
• Inner Sect Performance Stage — Hosts the Core Disciple Ranking Tournament, attended by sect leaders, Inner and Outer Disciples, and visitors from other great sects 160.
• Council Hall — Meeting place where Mo Sheli and the five Inner Academy Masters occupy the central seats 140.
• Back mountain — Includes secluded areas used by Lin Tian for Gang Realm breakthroughs and True Gang cultivation 216 231.
• Divine Wind Colts — Specially bred mounts carrying a trace of ancient exotic-beast bloodline. Their superior strength and speed make them useful for cavalry warfare as well as transportation 233.

Cultivation Arts

Five-Element Mental Cultivation Methods

Lin Tian practices five methods described as the Heavenly Derivation Sect’s highest-tier superior mental cultivation methods 278.

Attribute	Method
Metal	Geng Metal Condensation Art 176 189
Wood	Azure Wood Eternal Spring Art 176 189
Earth	Thick Earth Mountain-Suppressing Art 176 189
Water	Mystic Water Origin-Returning Art 176 189
Fire	Separating Fire Heaven-Burning Art 176 189

Technique Security

• Image-Projection Crystals transmit battle-technique imagery directly into a disciple’s mind.
• This teaching method is used to prevent martial arts and battle techniques from being secretly learned 127.

History

Foundation and Regional Authority

The sect’s prosperity rests on its access to a treasured site that continuously produces Heavenly Marrow Fluid. This resource enables it to establish itself among Gaoyan Prefecture City’s Ten Great Sects 175.

Within the city, the Ten Great Sects stand above the numerous lesser powers and set the rules those factions must obey. Even the identity of a Heavenly Derivation Inner Disciple at Core Condensation is sufficient to intimidate an entire boxing arena 142.

Demon-Suppression Campaign

Following the exposure of the Worry-Forget Pavilion, the Heavenly Derivation Sect launches a campaign that uncovers two additional Demon Sect strongholds. Their principal experts escape after becoming wary of discovery. In a separate encounter, a late-stage Core Condensation enemy kills a sect disciple with black Zhenqi that drains flesh and blood 148.

The sect later assigns Core Disciples to pursue wealthy-clan defectors carrying valuable treasures. By the subsequent core meeting, the Ten Great Sects’ joint investigation has driven the Demon Sect out of Gaoyan Prefecture City, although Mo Sheli warns that the withdrawal is temporary and the threat persists elsewhere in the dynasty 217 246.

Geocentric Cavern Dispute

The Heavenly Dynasty Sect discovers the Geocentric Cavern inside Heavenly Derivation territory. Under Dao Origin Sect rules, the discovering faction is entitled to 10% of its annual output. Heavenly Dynasty proposes a disciple duel: victory would earn it another 10%; defeat would require it to surrender its existing share and provide 20% of its unique Heavenly Crystal Pills 175.

Mo Sheli invites other Gaoyan sects to contribute disciples in exchange for a share of the wagered resources. Heavenly Dynasty then erects an arena directly outside the Heavenly Derivation mountain gate, using Song Shaoyan’s victories and public rumors to damage the host sect’s reputation before alliance negotiations 176 180 182 185.

Lin Tian ultimately defeats Song Shaoyan, breaking the momentum of Heavenly Dynasty’s campaign 201.

Anti-Demon Alliance

At the alliance conference, Mo Sheli clashes with Heavenly Dynasty Sect Master Long Tianchao. Han Qingtian and the other sect masters intervene before the fight escalates further 203.

The alliance is established without immediately appointing an Alliance Leader. Its members retain control of their resources while contributing core treasures as incentives for operations against the surrounding Demon Sects 203.

Hundred Sects Plan

Kui Shengyang and Yu Qinghan accompany the sect’s disciples to the Dao Origin Sect. Lin Tian’s perceptiveness earns Deacon Song’s recognition and a Grade A Token, allowing the delegation to bypass the ordinary queue and receive preferential lodging 257 258 259.

Lin Tian and Mu Qingxue qualify through the Hundred Sects Trial; Mu Qingxue places ninety-fifth. Chen Qingyu subsequently chooses the alternative route of entering as an Outer Disciple 275 277.

Before parting, the Heavenly Derivation Sect gives Lin Tian and Mu Qingxue 50 drops of Heavenly Marrow Fluid and 50 Tempered Qi Pills each. Lin Tian pledges to remember his Wood Courtyard origins and assist the sect whenever he is able 277.

Relationships

• Dao Origin Sect — Governing upper sect and protector of the Heavenly Derivation Sect’s core resource holdings; also provides a path to higher-level training through the Hundred Sects Plan 175 204 246.
• Heavenly Spear Sect — Close ally within Gaoyan Prefecture City’s Ten Great Sects 166.
• Cold Heaven Sword Sect — Fellow leading great sect whose representatives attend the Core Disciple Ranking Tournament; its Sect Master, Han Qingtian, helps preserve the anti-demon alliance conference 160 202 203.
• Heavenly Dynasty Sect — Resource and political rival that attempts to turn victories at the mountain gate into leverage over Gaoyan’s sects; nevertheless participates in the anti-demon alliance 175 180 185 203.
• Spirit Jade Sect — Blood enemy due to an earlier dispute over territory and influence. The feud remains evident when their delegations meet during the Hundred Sects Plan 255.
• Heavenly Gu Sect and Puppet Control Sect — Their delegations travel alongside the Heavenly Derivation party, with Kui Shengyang’s existing connections helping establish friendly exchanges 252 253.
• Flesh and Blood Divine Sect — Demonic enemy targeted by the sect’s investigations, suppression campaigns, and alliance operations 148 201 203.
