Background / History

Ten thousand years before the story, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect renamed itself the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and she became the Nine-Colored Goddess. The sect itself did not inherit the evolved pagoda martial soul or Ning Rongrong's bloodline. 19

Without the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the sect gradually declined from the world's second-greatest sect to a power described as the lower end of the first-rate factions. It nevertheless retained its wealth, extensive commercial reach, and ability to offer resources to sufficiently talented recruits. 19 36

The sect preserves a longstanding connection with Shrek Academy and uses the academy as a venue to identify and recruit young talent. Ning Tian, its young sect mistress, attends Shrek specifically to build connections and seek prospective members and a future Guardian Douluo. 4 19 25

Organization

• Ning Tian — Young sect mistress; personally recruits students at Shrek Academy and represents the sect in negotiations. 19 25
• Wu Feng — Ning Tian's guard and longtime companion; participates in recruitment efforts and protects Ning Tian in battle. 19 20
• Direct disciples with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda — Expected to learn the sect's Distraction Control Technique upon awakening their martial souls. 4 20
• Sword and dragon-type martial soul cultivators — The sect has spent ten thousand years fostering these martial soul categories, accumulating substantial experience despite failing to locate heirs to the Seven Kill Sword or Bone Dragon. 25

Assets and Influence

• The sect is regarded as the wealthiest on the continent, with a commercial network spanning all three great empires. 20 36
• Its Nine Treasure Pavilion in Shrek City can arrange large cash payments and cultivation resources on Ning Tian's authority. 36
• Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda possesses a treasure-seeking resonance that reacts to exceptionally valuable items. 20
• The sect maintains intelligence-gathering capabilities that Jiang Yue considers more dependable than Shrek Academy's for investigating the evil soul master who destroyed his village. 52
• While soul bones are valuable to smaller factions, the sect has sufficient wealth and commercial access to buy, appraise, and resell them with ease. 35 36

Distraction Control Technique

The Distraction Control Technique is the sect's inherited secret art and a defining practice of its direct disciples. It trains spiritual power for multitasking, reduces soul-power consumption while using soul skills, and improves battlefield awareness and endurance. 4 20 26

Level	Known Function
Three Apertures Heart	Entry stage of the technique. 26
Four Apertures Steadfast Heart	Allows control suited to four simultaneous swords; Jiang Yue reaches this stage after his spiritual power rises. 28 49
Five Apertures Scattered Heart	Required for Jiang Yue to control five swords. 28
Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart	Highest documented stage; the complete sect version can guide a practitioner to this realm. 25 26

• The technique is especially suited to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul masters, enabling them to divide attention among enhancement skills and reduce their expenditure of soul power. 4
• It is less closely guarded than major combat inheritances such as the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and ring detonation. 20
• The known system has only five levels through Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart; no later stages are documented within the sect. 26
• The sect granted Jiang Yue the complete technique and practitioners' cultivation notes on the condition that he neither teach nor distribute it to others. 25

Recruitment Practices

Ning Tian's personal invitations serve both as recruitment and as a display of the sect's respect toward promising Shrek students. Even recruits who decline are intended to leave with a favorable view of the sect. 19

The sect is particularly interested in strong sword martial souls. Since Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong died without descendants, it has sought inheritors or equivalents of the Seven Kill Sword and Bone Dragon for ten thousand years, without success. 25

Its recruitment strategy includes:

• Offering cultivation resources and institutional support to talented soul masters. 19 51
• Building goodwill before a recruit formally joins. 20 25
• Providing training materials and sect insights as incentives. 25
• Seeking talents at Shrek Academy through Ning Tian and Wu Feng. 19 20
• Encouraging prospective members to give the sect priority after graduation rather than demanding an immediate commitment. 25

Relationships

• Jiang Yue — High-priority prospective recruit. The sect gave him the complete Distraction Control Technique and cultivation notes, purchased his Void Demon Leopard Left Leg Bone, and later undertook an intelligence investigation at his request. 25 36 52
• Ning Tian — Young sect mistress and the sect's principal representative at Shrek Academy. 19 25
• Wu Feng — Ning Tian's guard; her possessiveness toward Ning Tian repeatedly complicates the sect's attempts to recruit male talents. 19 25 26
• Shrek Academy — Longstanding allied institution and major recruitment ground for the sect. 4 19 32
• White Tiger Duke's Manor — A faction described as sharing a friendship with the sect lasting tens of thousands of years. 32
• Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong — Revered historical figures whose deaths and lack of descendants drove the sect's continuing focus on sword and dragon-type martial souls. 25

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment of Jiang Yue

Ning Tian and Wu Feng approach Jiang Yue after he gains notoriety at Shrek Academy for defeating Dai Huabin. Ning Tian offers to report Jiang Yue's request to learn the Distraction Control Technique to the sect, while Wu Feng reacts warily to his presence. 19 20

After the freshman assessment, the sect authorizes Ning Tian to give Jiang Yue the complete technique and cultivation notes. In return, it requests only that he prioritize the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect if he chooses to join a faction after graduating from Shrek. 25

Freshman Assessment

Ning Tian's team represents the sect's combat strength during the freshman assessment. Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda enhancement skills boost Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, while her mastery of the Distraction Control Technique enables sustained auxiliary support. 20 30

Jiang Yue defeats Ning Tian's team in the semifinal, but the encounter ends without hostility; Ning Tian accepts the result calmly, and their exchange suggests an emerging understanding between them. 32

Soul Bone Transaction

Following the assessment, Jiang Yue turns to Ning Tian as the most suitable buyer for his Void Demon Leopard Left Leg Bone. The sect purchases it for 300,000 Gold Soul Coins plus cultivation resources valued at 200,000 Gold Soul Coins, demonstrating both its wealth and its willingness to invest in Jiang Yue. 35 36

Investigation into Jiang Yue's Past

Jiang Yue later asks Ning Tian to use the sect's intelligence network to investigate the evil soul master connected to the destruction of his village and the desecration of its graves. The sect accepts the request without exploiting Jiang Yue's need for assistance. 52
