Sect Arrangements

One in the light, one in the dark, working together.

If that's the case, then Tang San's scheme is far too elaborate.

That's terrifying to think about.

Of course, these are all just speculations.

The truth is probably only known to the higher-ups of the Clear Sky Sect.

But no matter what, the Clear Sky Sect will have to be used sooner or later.

After all, Huo Yuhao has already appeared.

Tang San's grand strategy has reached a crucial moment.

How much longer can the Clear Sky Sect, this hidden spy that has been concealed for ten thousand years, remain hidden?

Having discussed the history and current state of the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect, let's take a look at the important figures in its history.

The first one has to be Tang Chen.

The founder of the Clear Sky Sect, Level 99 Limit Douluo, known as invincible on the ground, and the Asura God Inheritance.

How to put it, this old man was a typical martial arts fanatic, who spent his whole life pursuing two things: becoming stronger, and becoming even stronger.

In his youth, he was invincible and single-handedly established the Clear Sky Sect, leading it to the top position in the world.

As a result, in middle age, he acted impulsively and pursued Godhood, driving himself insane and spending decades in the Slaughter City.

In his later years, he was finally awakened to his senses by Tang San, but he only lived a few days before his life ran out and he died, eventually turning into a handful of ashes.

Tang Chen was someone who ran away at the peak of his career, causing a huge mess for his sect. In terms of love, he had a long-distance relationship that lasted a lifetime, but in the end, they were separated by death.

To say he's successful is an understatement; he's achieved legendary status with his Ultimate Douluo, God-level Inheritance, and founding of his own sect.

To say he failed is an understatement; he failed to manage his sect, failed to keep his lover, and ultimately even lost himself.

A peerless powerhouse whose life is filled with tragedy.

The second one is Tang Hao.

The once-in-a-century genius of the Clear Sky Sect, the youngest Titled Douluo, Tang San's father.

Tang Hao is a grumpy, stubborn, and single-minded person. Once he's made up his mind about something, nothing can change it.

He was a prominent figure in his youth, known as one of the "Clear Sky Twin Stars" along with his Tang Xiao, and was invincible among the younger generation.

Then he met Ah Yin, and, blinded by love, he went against the entire Spirit Hall for the sake of a woman.

In the end, Ah Yin sacrificed herself, severely injuring herself. She took the newborn Tang San and hid in Holy Soul Village, where she worked as a drunken blacksmith for more than ten years.

He was indeed deeply devoted, willing to give up everything for his lover.

If you say he was irresponsible, then he really was. He basically didn't take care of Tang San when he was a child. Tang San was drunk all the time and had to take care of himself.

Later, when Tang San grew up and became capable, he jumped out and became his father again.

The most classic father figure: he only cared about his own enjoyment when he was young, and now he expects his son to support him in his old age.

Of course, Tang Hao's strength is undeniable.

When he was Titled Douluo, he could go toe-to-toe with the Pope. After recovering his strength, he became even more formidable. He also contributed to the battle of Jialing Pass.

The third one is Tang Xiao.

Tang Hao's older brother, former sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect.

How should I put it? This person is just a typical tool.

She spent her whole life cleaning up after her younger brother.

When he was young, he went out into the world with his younger brother, and he always covered for his brother when his brother got into trouble.

His younger brother was expelled from the sect, and he took over the position of sect leader, keeping the sect in a state of disarray.

His younger brother returned, and without saying a word, he relinquished his position as sect leader.

Without a single complaint.

You might say he's incompetent, but he's Titled Douluo and the Clear Sky Sect, managing the sect for decades without any major problems.

You might say he's capable, but he's lived his whole life in the shadow of his younger brother and nephew, with no particularly outstanding achievements.

A typical good-natured person, hardworking and selfless, always giving back quietly.

The fourth one is Tang San.

This goes without saying; he's the most important person.

He single-handedly pulled the Clear Sky Sect back from the brink of extinction and elevated it to new heights.

But the question is, how much affection does Tang San truly have for the Clear Sky Sect?

To be honest, there probably aren't many.

He grew up in Holy Soul Village and his impression of the Clear Sky Sect was mainly based on his father's descriptions.

When they were supposed to be recognized as ancestors, they were subjected to all sorts of difficulties by the elders.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation.

Tang San revitalized the Clear Sky Sect primarily to fulfill his father's wish and to utilize the Clear Sky Sect's power to fight against the Spirit Hall.

For him, the Clear Sky Sect was more like a tool, a stepping stone.

Once it's used up and you've ascended to immortality, you don't care anymore.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have left behind the ancestral precept of "remaining hidden from the world," allowing the Clear Sky Sect to hide for ten thousand years.

After reading this passage, Tang Ya remained silent for a long time.

It turns out the Clear Sky Sect has so many stories to tell...

She only knew that the Clear Sky Sect was very powerful before, but she didn't expect it to have such a complicated past.

In truth, the Tang Sect owes its current strength largely to the influence of the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Ya gave a wry smile.

They're all just tools for Tang San's sects, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

One is in the light, the other in the dark.

One was responsible for making a public appearance, while the other was responsible for secretly accumulating wealth.

They are all chess pieces on Tang San's chessboard.

but...

Tang Ya raised her head, her eyes hardening.

The Clear Sky Sect chose to hide, chose to live a life of ignominy, and chose to abide by its ancestral precepts and wait for death.

But Tang Ya wouldn't.

The future of the Tang Sect depends on her own efforts.

No matter how solid the foundation left by Tang San, no matter how deep Tang San plans were, she was determined to lead the Tang Sect onto a path that belonged to them.

Tang Ya clenched her fist.

The Clear Sky Sect can hide for ten thousand years, but the Tang Sect cannot.

The Tang Sect is a sect of the living, not the legacy of the dead.

The Clear Sky Sect and the Tang Sect, one an overt and the other a covert tool sect, have a deep history and a very subtle relationship.

Both of these sects were established by Tang San.

The Clear Sky Sect is the ancestral foundation of Tang San, and the Tang Sect was established by Tang San himself.

One was inherited from ancestors, and the other was built by themselves, but ultimately they are both Tang Family businesses.

Both of them have experienced periods of decline.

The Clear Sky Sect declined because of Tang Chen's disappearance and Tang Hao's expulsion. The Tang Clan Tang Sect because... well, actually, the Tang Sect only began to decline after Tang San ascended to immortality.

When Tang San was around, the Tang Sect was the number one sect on the continent, enjoying immense prestige.

By the time of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Clan, neither of them were particularly impressive.

One hid in the mountains pretending to be dead, while the other struggled to make ends meet outside.

In addition, let's talk about the differences between the two.

First, the methods of inheritance are different.

The Clear Sky Sect is a family-based succession, passed down only to the Tang Family bloodline; outsiders simply cannot enter the core level.

The Tang Sect is different. They open their doors to disciples, and as long as you have the ability and contribute to the sect, you can climb the ranks.

The Clear Sky Sect relies on the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, which is innate and cannot be learned.

The Tang Sect relies on Hidden Weapon, poisons, and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record), all of which are technical skills that can be learned later in life.

Their styles of doing things are different.

The Clear Sky Sect is conservative, low-key, and prefers to hide.

The Tang Sect was relatively open and active. Although it declined, it never became detached from the mainland's overall environment.

You know what, you really have to admit, these two sects, one overt and one covert, actually cooperate quite well.

Is this simply a result of the development of the times, or did Tang San really issue some kind of divine decree to orchestrate things during these ten thousand years?
