Background / History

Tang San proposes the name “Tang Sect” after Fang Yuan asks him to establish and manage a faction. The name fulfills Tang San’s longstanding wish to rebuild the sect of his previous life on Douluo Continent. Tang San asks Fang Yuan to join as Supreme Elder with ultimate authority, while Tang San serves as Sect Master. Fang Yuan accepts after repeated requests, intending to shield the fledgling sect and retain control over its core direction 70.

Tang San presents the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record as the sect’s initial foundation, including hidden-weapon designs, martial arts, poisons, and antidotes. Fang Yuan instead establishes a development strategy of integrating hidden weapons with Soul Tools, increasing their power while lowering production costs. Control of Soul Tool core technology remains with Fang Yuan 71.

Fang Yuan proposes recruiting the four former affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect, whose members suffered after Clear Sky Sect withdrew into seclusion. Tang San agrees on the condition that the Tang Sect remains wholly independent of both Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall 72.

The Strength Clan becomes the first clan to join, followed by the Defense Clan, Speed Clan, and Breaking Clan. The four clans relocate to Heaven Dou City, where the Defense Clan begins construction of the Tang Sect headquarters 108 115 121 123.

Following the headquarters’ completion, the sect delivers its first batch of Soul Tools to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in what Fang Yuan regards as the continent’s first large-scale Soul Tool trade 153.

Major Arcs

Founding Plan

Fang Yuan entrusts Tang San with managing a future faction, and Tang San names it the Tang Sect. Fang Yuan agrees to become Supreme Elder, creating a hierarchy in which Tang San acts as Sect Master but Fang Yuan holds supreme authority 70.

Adoption of Soul Tool Technology

Tang San offers the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record as the sect’s inheritance. Fang Yuan redirects the sect toward Soul Tools incorporating hidden-weapon concepts, securing control of the core technology for himself 71.

Recruitment of the Four Single-Attribute Clans

The Strength Clan joins after Tai Tan recognizes Tang San as Tang Hao’s son and accepts the Tang Sect’s independence from Clear Sky Sect 106 107. Niu Gao and the Defense Clan join after Fang Yuan proves his overwhelming strength in a sparring match 112 115.

Bai He joins the Speed Clan to the sect after losing a speed contest to Fang Yuan and witnessing Fang Yuan’s support for Bai Chenxiang’s martial soul evolution 120 121. Yang Wudi and the Breaking Clan join after Fang Yuan demonstrates the value of immortal herbs and distributes herb-enhanced food to the gathered clans 123.

Construction and Trade

The four clans move to Heaven Dou City, with the Defense Clan beginning construction of the headquarters according to prepared blueprints 123. Once completed, the sect begins supplying Soul Tools to the Heaven Dou Empire and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 153.
