| Name | Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect |
| Original Name | 七宝琉璃宗 |
| Affiliation | Upper Three Sects; allied/partnered with the Heaven Dou Empire |
| Occupation/Role | Major soul master sect; political ally and power broker |
| Status | Severely weakened after Bone Douluo's death and forced compensation to the Heaven Dou Empire 21 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 11 |
Background / History
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is introduced as one of the Upper Three Sects and a major force worried about Spirit Hall's growing strength. Ning Fengzhi notes that Spirit Hall possesses far more Title Douluo than the Upper Three Sects can currently field, especially with the Clear Sky Sect hidden from the world 11.
After hearing about Yun Chen's innate full soul power and Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff martial soul, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin discuss how to win him over. Gu Rong impulsively suggests tying Yun Chen up, but Ning Fengzhi rejects kidnapping because it would be impossible to explain to the Heaven Dou Empire. Instead, he plans to visit Yun Chen and offer him the chance to become Gu Rong's disciple 11.
The sect's relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire is politically useful but fragile. Ning Fengzhi is publicly Xue Qinghe's teacher, giving the sect influence in the Crown Prince's circle. Qian Renxue, while impersonating Xue Qinghe, views Ning Fengzhi's position as opportunistic and suspects the sect intends to benefit from the future ruler's rise while contributing little during the Crown Prince's struggles 17 18.
The sect's attempt to approach Yun Chen collapses after Ning Rongrong provokes him, Yun Chen slaps her, and Bone Douluo attempts to kill him inside the Crown Prince's Residence. Emperor Xueye intervenes with a divine trident-like trump card, orders troops to surround the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and forces Ning Fengzhi to beg for mercy 19 20.
Bone Douluo is killed by Xueye in a single strike. Ning Fengzhi accepts the judgment and offers half of the sect's assets as compensation, leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect alive but humiliated and effectively subordinated to the Heaven Dou Empire 21.
Political Position
| Relationship | Details |
|---|---|
| Heaven Dou Empire | Public partner and ally, but the alliance is unstable. Xueye ultimately uses the sect as a target to reestablish imperial authority 17 20 21. |
| Spirit Hall | Viewed by Ning Fengzhi as the greatest brewing threat to the continent; later targeted by Qian Renxue's escalation of the Soul Hunt Operation 11 25. |
| Upper Three Sects | Part of the Upper Three Sects, though Ning Fengzhi admits their effective Title Douluo strength is limited after the Clear Sky Sect's seclusion 11. |
| Crown Prince's Residence | Attempts to recruit or bind Yun Chen through a master-disciple relationship, creating direct conflict with Qian Renxue 17 18. |
Leadership and Key Members
- Ning Fengzhi — Sect Master; politically cautious, strategic, and willing to humble himself to preserve the sect. He proposes recruiting Yun Chen through Gu Rong rather than kidnapping him 11 17 20 21.
- Gu Rong / Bone Douluo — Title Douluo guardian of the sect; wants to take Yun Chen as a disciple and later attacks him after Ning Rongrong is slapped. He is killed by Emperor Xueye 11 17 19 21.
- Chen Xin / Sword Douluo — Title Douluo guardian of the sect; appears in the sect's internal discussion about Yun Chen and bickers with Gu Rong 11.
- Ning Rongrong — Ning Fengzhi's daughter and the sect's “little witch”; spoiled and arrogant, her provocation of Yun Chen triggers the crisis that leads to Bone Douluo's death 17 18 19 20.
Abilities & Resources
Title Douluo Guardians

- Gu Rong is treated as one of the sect's pillars before his death 21.
- Chen Xin remains another major Title Douluo figure associated with the sect 11.
- Ning Fengzhi believes the sect's high-end strength is still insufficient compared with Spirit Hall 11.

- After Bone Douluo's death, Ning Fengzhi offers half of the sect's assets as compensation 21.
- Qian Renxue later cites the sect's wealth, influence, and resources as reasons it must be treated as a major obstacle to Spirit Hall's unification 25.
Recruitment and Patronage
The sect attempts to secure future power by binding talented soul masters through relationships.

Story Role / Major Arcs
Interest in Yun Chen
After learning of Yun Chen's talent, the sect's leadership immediately identifies him as a future strategic asset. Ning Fengzhi rejects reckless action but decides to personally visit the Crown Prince's Residence with Gu Rong to recruit him through discipleship 11.
Visit to the Crown Prince's Residence
Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Ning Rongrong arrive at the Crown Prince's Residence. Gu Rong openly implies that Yun Chen should take a Title Douluo as his teacher, but Qian Renxue redirects the conversation before Yun Chen can be pressured into answering 17 18.
Conflict with Yun Chen
Ning Rongrong provokes Yun Chen by flaunting the sect's ability to make a genius disappear. Yun Chen slaps her, and Bone Douluo responds by trying to kill him, escalating a children's quarrel into a sect-level political crisis 18 19.
Xueye's Punishment
Emperor Xueye saves Yun Chen, reveals a terrifying trident-like trump card, and orders two military leaders to surround the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with 200,000 soldiers. Ning Fengzhi begs for mercy, fearing the sect's destruction 20.
Bone Douluo's Death and Submission
Xueye kills Bone Douluo in one strike. Ning Fengzhi accepts the judgment, offers half of the sect's assets, and the sect survives as a nominal partner of the Heaven Dou Empire while losing much of its autonomy and prestige 21.
Target of Soul Hunt Operation
Qian Renxue, enraged by the sect's attack on Yun Chen, writes to Spirit Hall to intensify the Soul Hunt Operation against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She recommends adding Azure Luan Douluo and Lion Douluo to ensure the operation succeeds 25.
Relationships
- Heaven Dou Empire — Official partner, but punished harshly after Bone Douluo attacks Yun Chen in Heaven Dou City 20 21.
- Emperor Xueye — Publicly allied ruler who kills Bone Douluo and forces the sect to compensate the empire 20 21.
- Qian Renxue / Xue Qinghe — Publicly connected through Ning Fengzhi's role as Xue Qinghe's teacher; privately, Qian Renxue views the sect as a threat and later pushes Spirit Hall to target it 17 18 25.
- Yun Chen — Recruitment target; the sect's attempt to bind him through Gu Rong fails and turns into open hostility after Ning Rongrong's provocation 11 17 18 19.
- Spirit Hall — Strategic enemy; Ning Fengzhi fears its hidden strength, while Qian Renxue later identifies the sect as an obstacle to Spirit Hall's unification 11 25.
