History

Mount Fangcun rose from an ancient cave-dwelling inheritance. Two brothers obtained cultivation arts and treasures from the ruin, followed its records to the Slanting Moon Three-Star Cave Blessed Land, and built the sect’s foundation over generations 543. By the era of the Star-Plucking Assembly, the sect was described as a more-than-two-thousand-year-old pillar of the righteous path 577.

The sect historically exercised broad authority over its territory. It established temples at famous mountains and rivers, enrolled local deities in its Orthodox Investiture Register, and sent disciples who failed to advance to the Dao Embryo Realm back into the secular world to establish descendant lines 524. Clear River Commandery falls within its sphere of influence 500.

Mount Fangcun had previously produced a Supreme Grandmaster and held the leadership of the Righteous Dao 724. Records of its earlier prominence describe an alliance with the Dragon Spring Sword Sect and Western Kunlun, supported by friendly relations with Mount Zhongnan. Mount Fangcun became the leader of the Righteous Alliance and witnessed the conclusion of the Struggle of the Three Houses, which changed the world's political landscape 574.

Mount Fangcun later suffered from factionalism and decline. During a crisis involving its disciples, it sent only Dragon Court Realm reinforcements and no Golden Core True Person, prompting accusations that internal strife had hollowed out the sect 564. Its Eighteen Lineages had also become fragmented and self-governing 724.

The Zhao Kingdom ghost-domain crisis further exposed the sect's problems. More than a hundred disciples who had descended the mountain were endangered by demonic forces, while the initial relief force lacked any Golden Core cultivator 564. Elder Huang Long was subsequently exposed as the mastermind behind the earlier Drought Demon calamity in Clear River Commandery and was slain by Zhou Jing 567.

Following the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasury expedition, the sect punished corrupt peak masters, strengthened its disciples through gained opportunities, and regained influence among the Righteous Nine Sects 724. Sect Master Nong Mu subsequently attained the Supreme Grandmaster realm, though he was later exposed as Bai Ze, the ancient Outer Dao King 758 821.

The reforms unfolded over the thirty years following the Treasury expedition. Peak masters implicated in corruption, including those of Cloud-Reaching Peak and Dragon Head Peak, were successively punished. The resulting improvement in discipline and cooperation, together with the Treasury's opportunities, allowed new talents to emerge throughout the sect 724. During the Southern Border campaign, Mount Fangcun and Western Kunlun were described as having risen into a three-way balance with the Dao Dominion Sect after True Person Nine Yang's death 734.

Bai Ze had governed Mount Fangcun under Nong Mu's identity for nearly five centuries 577 821. Before the Ascension Platform opened, he secretly joined the Devil Lord of All Living, the Western Sea Dragon King, and other powers in an alliance intended to counter Zhou Jing 809. During the Battle of Ascending Heaven, he ceased concealing his Outer Dao path and used the Fate Star Sect's Great Fate Art, leaving Mount Fangcun's elders and disciples stunned by his true identity 821.

Before that public revelation, Bai Ze approached Zhou Jing during the latter's return to Mount Fangcun. He openly admitted fearing Zhou's growing power and offered goodwill on the basis of their remaining ties. Zhou acknowledged that he had intended to kill Bai Ze, but spared him after considering Little Green Peak, Clear River Commandery, and an earlier kindness from Patriarch Dixiang. This left Zhou's karmic connections to the sect unresolved until the opening of the Ascension Platform 812.

When Bai Ze's identity was finally exposed, the sect's elders, Sun Miao, and the disciples of its lineages initially struggled to accept it. They nevertheless recognized that Nong Mu had not persecuted Mount Fangcun during his tenure, tempering their response to the revelation 821.

Blessed Land and Defenses

Mount Fangcun occupies the Slanting Moon Three-Star Cave Blessed Land, where heaven-and-earth spiritual veins converge. Its spiritual energy far exceeds that of the surrounding mortal lands and can nurture spiritual springs, treasures, and divine beasts 523.

• The mountain gate bears the seal-script name “Mount Fangcun.”
• Azure Jade Qilins stand beside the entrance, their spirit-pearl eyes capable of intimidating hostile intruders with divine sense 508 812.
• A spiritual spring descends from the mountain into a thousand-zhang waterfall, with mist and rainbows surrounding the gate 508.
• The main peak rises like a sword pointed toward the heavens, while surrounding peaks cluster around it 508.
• Immortal cranes and azure luans circle above the mountain, and spiritual mist gathers across the sea of clouds 508.
• The Nine Heavens Summoning Order can alert fellow Mount Fangcun disciples within a thousand li in emergencies 525.
• Evergreen Mountain, where the spiritual hubs and dragon veins of the Eighteen Lineages converge, serves as the sect master's secluded cultivation ground 586.
• On Zhou Jing's first arrival, the spiritual energy near the mountain was more than ten times denser than in Clear River Commandery, condensing into visible mist 508.
• The two Azure Jade Qilins beside the gate are each a hundred zhang tall 508.
• Powerful protective formations guard the blessed land. During his return as the East Sea Dao Venerable, Zhou Jing passed through them without disturbing their operation, bringing Qing Yao and Ying Yuan inside; Cloud-Reaching Peak's formation swords also halted before him 812.

Fangcun Temple

Fangcun Temple is Mount Fangcun’s great treasure and principal assembly venue.

• It ranks beneath only the sect’s sole divine-prohibition artifact, the Slanting Moon Treasure Mirror 576.
• More than sixty generations of cultivators refined and expanded it over roughly a thousand years 576.
• It can shrink into a sleeve-sized object or unfold into a thirteen-hundred-mu cloud platform capable of holding nearly one hundred thousand people 576.
• It is deployed for sect expeditions in wartime and serves as the venue for the Eighteen Lineages Star-Plucking Assembly in peacetime 576.
• For the Star-Plucking Assembly, it manifests at Cloud-Reaching Peak's summit as a vast plaza forged from hundreds of millions of pounds of immortal gold 576.

Organization

Eighteen Lineages

Mount Fangcun is divided into eighteen principal lineages, including Cloud-Reaching Peak, Dragon Head Peak, Dragon Fang Peak, Jade Splendor Peak, Vast Mystery Peak, Heavenly Sound Pavilion, and Little Green Peak 576 586.

The lineages vary sharply in influence. Major peaks such as Cloud-Reaching Peak, Dragon Head Peak, and Dragon Fang Peak each have more than two thousand disciples, while smaller lineages generally have around a thousand 576. Cloud-Reaching Peak is traditionally the foremost lineage; three successive sect masters originated from it 521. Little Green Peak was historically neglected and severely understaffed despite possessing exceptional terrain and hidden inheritances 508 532.

Before the Treasury expedition, Mount Fangcun was described as having only four cultivators who had passed the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Two belonged to Cloud-Reaching Peak, reinforcing that lineage's dominance alongside its connection to the sect master 546.

Lineage	Known specialization or characteristic
Cloud-Reaching Peak	A prominent sword-cultivation lineage whose disciples train on iron chains spanning thousand-zhang cliffs to temper their bodies and swordsmanship 544
Dragon Head Peak	Its sword cultivators can form a roaming dragon sword formation; its secret transmissions include the Yang Dragon Finger 576 763
Dragon Fang Peak	Its peaks resemble a giant dragon's fangs. Originally used to suppress and imprison demons and monsters, it retains demon-related disciple training traditions 587
Jade Splendor Peak	Home to Feng Qingge, who demonstrates the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Draw Art and Great Flowing Light Art 512 579
Dragon Scale Peak	Breeds messenger birds and possesses Dragon-Washing Pool secret arts that use refined dragon essence blood to empower spirit beasts 579 599
Heavenly Sound Pavilion	Specializes in qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, particularly music that cleanses the spirit and dispels inner demons; most of its cultivators are women 586
Crane Pill Peak / Elixir Crane Peak	A pill-refining lineage whose disciples travel on carefully nurtured white cranes; Xie Mosheng is one of its talents 576 593
Little Green Peak	Preserves distinctive sword and Dharma Eye inheritances; later becomes Mount Fangcun's foremost lineage through its connection to Zhou Jing 508 512 812

Other named lineages include Reishi Peak, Weituo Peak, Little Qi Peak, and Firecloud Peak 532 546 586.

Central Authority

Office / Institution	Known role
Sect Master	Holds supreme authority over Mount Fangcun; Nong Mu governed the sect for nearly five hundred years before his identity as Bai Ze was exposed 577 821
Herb Hall	One of the three halls above the peak lineages; led by Duanmu Xiwei during major expeditions 577 724
Reward Hall	One of the three halls above the peak lineages 577
Evil-Punishment Hall	One of the three halls above the peak lineages 577
Discipline Hall	An enforcement institution in which Sun Miao later served as an elder 763
Founders’ Hall	A prestigious inner inheritance associated with true closed-door disciples 543

The three hall masters are Great Dao Golden Core cultivators who have passed heavenly tribulations 577.

At the Star-Plucking Assembly preceding the Treasury expedition, Nong Mu appeared through a Golden Core external incarnation rather than his true body. Even this incarnation possessed the foundation of a cultivator who had passed the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation 577.

Recruitment and Advancement

Mount Fangcun conducts a disciple-recruitment ceremony every three years, sending disciples to test candidates throughout its territory 507. Outer disciples are assigned to individual branches after entering the mountain 508.

• The standard outer-disciple method is the Slanting Moon Ageless Art, which covers cultivation from Qi Movement to Dao Embryo Realm and includes three basic spells 508.
• Disciples earn Merit Points through assigned labor and demon-slaying missions; the sect’s rewards are assessed according to contribution 509 530.
• The Library Pavilion provides access to lower-realm manuals, while the sect’s core inheritance texts are kept on restricted upper floors 509 544.
• Dragon Scale Peak breeds messenger birds used for correspondence across Mount Fangcun's territory 599.
• Disciples who fail to reach the Dao Embryo Realm may be returned to secular life as lay disciples. Zhou Tai's return in this manner led to the founding of the Clear River Zhou Family 599.
• The Library Pavilion stands between Celestial Phenomena Peak and Dragon Head Peak. Manuals below the Dao Embryo Realm are freely accessible, while an elder's jade token can grant access to restricted floors 509 511.
• Recruitment and branch placement are vulnerable to political interference. Zhou Jing received an upper Grade D assessment and was assigned to Little Green Peak despite his reputation as an exceptional childhood talent; Yuan Shujian later recalled having overlooked him under pressure from a Dragon Court Realm elder 508 544.

Merit activity or reward	Recorded amount
Guarding a spirit garden	100 Merit Points per day 509
Felling ten Moonshadow Spirit Bamboo stalks	200 Merit Points 509
Low-grade spirit artifact	100,000 Merit Points 509
Saving a city during a disciple trial	30,000 Merit Points awarded to each participating disciple 530

Spirit pills, spirit beasts, and magic swords also have clearly marked Merit Point prices, making the points an internal currency 509. Successful trials can bring formal promotion: Yang Chen and Tao Zimo were elevated to True Disciples after the city-saving mission 530.

Little Green Peak

Little Green Peak is one of Mount Fangcun’s most politically fraught lineages. It was once among the smallest branches, with fewer than fifty disciples, and was routinely marginalized by stronger peaks 508 544.

Its apparent weakness concealed valuable inheritances, including the Five Elements Hidden-Armor Sword Classic, the Geng-Metal Sword Finger oral transmission, and the Great Origin One-Yang Sword legacy of Patriarch Dixiang 508 509 518.

The peak suffered a historic catastrophe when a former peak master slaughtered its disciples after cultivating a forbidden sword path. It was subsequently reopened, though its status remained contested among the other lineages 512 545. Its then peak master, Jiang Yingxue, later passed the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation and personally accompanied its elite disciples during the Southern Border campaign 602 724.

The peak’s landscape is naturally exceptional: its mountains and waterways form a “dragon vein raising its head” configuration, inferior only to Cloud-Reaching Peak among the Eighteen Lineages 532. However, an ancient well was placed in a guardian mountain to create a “piercing the back and exposing the heart” configuration, continuously draining Little Green Peak’s fortune for roughly three centuries 532.

Five years after Zhou Jing’s rise as the East Sea Dao Venerable, Little Green Peak surpassed Cloud-Reaching Peak to become Mount Fangcun’s chief branch. New disciples arrived in an unbroken stream, drawn by Zhou Jing’s former connection to the peak 812.

Inheritances and Training

• The Five Elements Hidden-Armor Sword Classic was created by the peak master and is taught as Little Green Peak's distinctive sword scripture. Its Geng-Metal Sword Finger is suited to cutting the qi-armored Moonshadow Spirit Bamboo used in disciple labor 508 509.
• The Eighteen Pauses oral transmission guides sword qi through eighteen qi residences, beginning at Linchong and ending at Pure Yang Palace. Zhou Jing regarded it as even more precious than the main scripture 509.
• The Great Void Dharma Eye can pierce illusions, analyze sword moves, track escaping lights, and observe the flow of spiritual energy 512.
• The Startling Cloud Thunder-Riding Sword combines changing cloud forms with thunderous sword power. It was attributed to a former peak master and was demonstrated by You Sanfeng during the inter-lineage contest 512.
• Despite its designation as a sword art, the Five Elements Hidden-Armor Sword Classic also provides an orthodox foundation for cultivating the Vital Energy and Longevity Divine Treasuries 650.

Internal Conflicts and Hidden Threats

Resentment toward Little Green Peak extended beyond its own catastrophe. A previous peak master had massacred cultivators of other lineages, including Jade Splendor Peak, leaving grudges that endured for generations. Elders from Jade Splendor Peak and Reishi Peak later intruded upon Little Green Peak while its master was secluded; Nian Wubei repelled them at the cost of aggravating his lingering Seven Kills Sword Intent injury 532.

Nian's defense of the lineage eventually became famous throughout Mount Fangcun. During a major confrontation, he fought ten Dragon Court Realm elders from ten lineages alone, and his sword split the sea of clouds. Some disciples consequently called him Mount Fangcun's foremost cultivator below the Great Dao Golden Core Realm 576.

Zhou Jing's inspection of the peak's terrain also uncovered a deeper concealed formation, Black Tortoise Exiting the Pass, intended to reverse-devour the fortune of all Mount Fangcun. He suspected Patriarch Dixiang's involvement, though this was not established as fact 532.

Jiang Yingshuang's later account challenged the sect's understanding of the peak's destruction. She blamed Bai Ze for the massacre and pursued revenge against him, accepting the Seven Kills Sword Manual's influence on her temperament as the price of advancement. She also explained that her deliberate estrangement from her younger sister had been intended to let the girl survive and grow stronger 710.

Later Leadership and Old Companions

By Zhou Jing's return, Qi Ling had become Little Green Peak's young peak master. Nong Mu had not obstructed the stream of disciples seeking entry during the preceding two years 812.

Lü Qingyu, Xiao Wan’er, Nian Wubei, Nie Qingzhu, and Shen Qingxue continued hoping for Zhou's return despite the distance created by his status as the East Sea Dao Venerable. They followed reports of his travels through Western Kunlun and Mount Zhongnan, while Shen Qingxue suggested that he might visit once more before ascending 812.

Major Sect Activities

Star-Plucking Assembly

The Eighteen Lineages Star-Plucking Assembly is Mount Fangcun’s major internal gathering. Founded to encourage diligence and allow the lineages to compare their Dao, it has been held for more than three hundred sessions 577.

• Competitions include formation discernment, calligraphy and painting, combat, and other cultivation arts 586 593.
• The assembly can determine candidates for crucial sect missions, including expeditions into ancient ruins 572.
• Fangcun Temple serves as its primary venue 576.
• During the assembly preceding the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury expedition, each lineage was ordered to field sixteen competitors, while the top one hundred participants received rewards 577.
• Auxiliary competitions included array discernment, chess, calligraphy and painting, musical arts, and object identification 577.
• Zhou Jing and Fu Dongcheng each cleared 1,300 formations in exactly the same time. The official ranking nevertheless placed Fu Dongcheng first and Zhou second, provoking Nie Qingzhu's concern over bias against Little Green Peak 586.
• Zhou Jing subsequently won the calligraphy and painting competition with a scroll that drew viewers into a heavenly-palace illusion. Fu Dongcheng placed second, and his status as Nong Mu's secret direct disciple became widely known during the assembly 593.
• Feng Qingge defeated Dragon Scale Peak's Cang Song despite his use of a Thunder Eagle, Mountain Kui, and black python empowered with True Dragon essence blood 579.

Heavenly Emperor’s Treasury Expedition

Mount Fangcun dispatched eleven disciples into the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasury through the Void Tear formation, led by Sun Miao and including Fu Dongcheng, Yuan Shujian, Qi Ling, and Zhou Jing 610.

The expedition was tasked with investigating an ancient medicine garden and pill chamber. The sect promised to claim only thirty percent of recovered treasures, leaving the remaining seventy percent to the participants 603. Despite the ruin’s dangers, Mount Fangcun emerged almost entirely intact; Zhou Jing’s disappearance and achievements became known throughout the Three Daos 672.

The disciples established several means of finding their way back to the entry formation, which would reopen after one year 610.

• Sun Miao planted Mother-Child Soul-Tracking Banners 610.
• Xie Mosheng left Lovesickness Trees with Affection Beasts 610.
• Qi Ling supplied Guiding Spiritual Flames 610.
• Zhou Jing secretly left True Spirit aura and blood markers and memorized the surrounding spatial structure 610.

The group's intact condition remained notable deep within the Treasury, where it was led by Sun Miao with Fu Dongcheng, Yuan Shujian, and Qi Ling still present 652. At the expedition's conclusion, Duanmu Xiwei found only one disciple missing—Zhou Jing—and the returning disciples were visibly subdued despite their survival 672.

Southern Border Campaign

Mount Fangcun later sent Elder Cai Wenhe and Herb Hall Master Duanmu Xiwei to lead a disciple-tempering expedition during the Sea Clan conflict at Eagle-Sorrow Gorge 724. Little Green Peak’s leading disciples, including Qi Ling, Lü Qingyu, and Xiao Wan’er, accompanied the force 724.

Jiang Yingxue also joined the expedition after passing the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation, while Qi Ling had become an elder and passed the First Nine Heavenly Tribulation 724.

Nong Mu remained in seclusion rather than personally leading the expedition. Cai Wenhe instructed Duanmu Xiwei to maintain a low profile, protect the carefully cultivated elites of the eighteen branches, and prioritize their training. Duanmu retained operational leadership despite Cai's seniority because of her steady conduct during the earlier Treasury expedition 724.

Jiang Yingxue later represented Mount Fangcun among the Righteous Dao cultivators who reached Many-Treasure Mountain's summit, joining the gathering of rival factions around its treasures 748.

Taihua Sect Visit

After the Southern Border campaign, Duanmu Xiwei led Sun Miao, Qi Ling, and Yuan Shujian to formally visit Taihua Sect's Chen Xuanzi 763. Though Chen declined an invitation to Mount Fangcun because of his wariness toward Bai Ze, he gave Yuan Shujian insight into pure-yang cultivation, derived a suitable follow-up art for Qi Ling, and guided Sun Miao in Dao discussion 763.

The visit occurred while Mount Fangcun, Taihua Sect, and Three Immortals Island were traveling north together, after Western Kunlun had departed. Chen recognized the delegation as old acquaintances from his life as Zhou Jing but did not disclose his identity 763.

Earlier, Shen Qingxue and Shang Fang of Little Green Peak had independently sought an audience at the Taihua Sect encampment. Shang Fang accompanied Shen out of concern, regarding a Righteous Dao disciple's approach to a prominent Outer Dao sect master as socially presumptuous 759.

Ice-Nest Lake Interception

During the northward journey, the allied treasure ships were ambushed near Ice-Nest Lake by an Icefield Throne Serpent, a two-headed Great Demon King at the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation level. The attackers froze the surrounding void to prevent distress transmissions, indicating advance preparation 763.

Jiang Yingshuang's appearance linked the interception to the Mortal Dust Immortal Sect and provoked intense killing intent from Mount Fangcun's camp. Duanmu Xiwei recognized the serpent and understood that the enemy had deliberately prepared for the encounter 763.

East Sea Dao Venerable's Return

Five years after the East Sea battle, Zhou Jing returned toward Mount Fangcun with Qing Yao and Ying Yuan. Bai Ze offered to preserve their ties and permitted him to visit or remain at either Mount Fangcun or Clear River Commandery without opposition 812.

Zhou spared Bai Ze despite arriving with murderous intent, then entered the blessed land without disturbing its protective formations. He proceeded to Cloud-Reaching Peak and warmly reunited with Yuan Shujian, whose surprise reflected the unexpected return of his former junior brother 812.
