Greens and Cocoa: The Imperial Sect probably arose sometime between 1500 and 1700 CE. Its principle was "all things can be controlled" from the beginning, so there isn't much to say about that. Around 2000 CE, the Imperial Sect began its rise. It took only a few centuries to go from a small sect to replacing the Bright Sect as the greatest sect in the world. Its standing and overall strength rose and fell afterward, but it remained a top sect until around 3721 CE, when it began to decline rapidly because many cultivators of the Imperial Sect system could no longer summon projections of their Secret Pact Beings.
Greens and Cocoa: The secret Divine Pact Method hadn't stopped working at that point.
Greens and Cocoa: My guess is that they hadn't lost contact with their Secret Pact Beings. Rather, the beings no longer wanted to answer them or send down projections.
Greens and Cocoa: That last sentence is the important part.
Greens and Cocoa: Then came 3804.
Greens and Cocoa: According to the history of the Yu Dynasty, a general who cultivated under the Imperial Sect system was fighting in a war. He suddenly lost all contact with his Secret Pact Object, and the secret Divine Pact Method stopped working. The general was horrified. His side lost the battle, and our country lost He Prefecture.
Greens and Cocoa: People later thought the general had made it up as an excuse. The evidence suggests he very likely hadn't.
Greens and Cocoa: Worth the price of admission?
Righteous Vital Energy: Worth it.
