Government and Society
The Great Tang is governed through a balance between the Son of Heaven and powerful aristocratic families. The saying that “the noble clans and the Son of Heaven ruled the realm together” is presented as an objective description of its political order, not merely a slogan. 114
- Imperial Court — The Zhang imperial house commands the greatest resources available to any single family or institution in the era, allowing it to sustain numerous young experts. 254
- Aristocratic clans — The Five Surnames and Seven Clans wield deep influence through bloodline inheritance, marriage ties, local ancestral lands, and positions within the court and military. 114 216 292
- National fortune — Mountains-and-rivers national fortune and earth-vein dragon qi are central to the dynasty’s authority and major political struggles; they are influenced by terrain as well as the people’s hearts. 114 347
- Cultivation sects — The court supports Buddhist and Daoist sacred grounds partly as a counterweight to the Confucian aristocratic clans. 216
- State Preceptor — Tang Xiaotang was formally enfeoffed as State Preceptor and Protector of the Nation, a position that grants her access to considerable national-fortune and earth-vein power through the State Preceptor Seal. 366 385
Key Figures and Institutions

| Tang Xiaotang | State Preceptor, Protector of the Nation, former Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and one of Great Tang’s principal defenders. 366 379 |

Major Events
| Event | Outcome / Significance |
|---|---|
| Jiangzhou Lin Clan’s collapse | The loss of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan’s leader and ensuing internal strife created a major vacuum in Great Tang’s power structure, drawing surrounding factions into competition. 114 |
| Destruction of the Human Realm Dao Kingdom | The Great Tang court coordinated with the Celestial Master Mansion to suppress the Human Realm Dao Kingdom; its destruction elevated Dragon Tiger Mountain’s standing. 342 347 |
| Lone Eagle Khanate invasion | Foreign martial cultivators entered through a Void Gate in the Northern Desert. The court appointed Lei Jun to command forces in Guanlong and contain the invasion. 360 |
| War with the Sumeru Vajra Division | The Sumeru Vajra Division joined the conflict by attacking Pure Yang Palace and aiding Great Tang’s enemies. The subsequent campaign ended with Vajra Temple’s fall and the disappearance of the Sumeru Vajra Division from Great Tang. 370 379 |

| Conquest of Great Harmony | Lei Jun, Tang Xiaotang, and Xu Yuanzhen crossed into Great Harmony and destroyed the Five Prestigious Clans’ ancestral lands, ending their dominance there. 405 406 408 |
| Inter-realm expansion | Great Tang’s influence came to encompass or affect Guicang, the Earth Sea, Great Harmony, Sumeru, and Saha, despite its leadership presenting its actions as restrained rather than expansionist. 433 492 |
| Reorganization after Zhang Wantong’s ascension | After Zhang Wantong achieved sainthood, national-fortune dragon qi in Luoyang was no longer concentrated in one or two individuals, changing the dynasty’s political balance. 536 |
Relations

- Five Surnames and Seven Clans — Powerful internal aristocratic blocs whose influence rivals the imperial court’s; their ancestral lands, bloodlines, and alliances remain politically decisive. 114 292
- Jiangzhou Lin Clan — Its internal collapse weakened the old political order and opened a struggle over its former influence and territory. 114 255
- Sumeru Vajra Division — Former hostile Buddhist force that intervened in the Lone Eagle Khanate war and attacked Pure Yang Palace; its Vajra Temple and main Great Tang presence were eliminated. 370 379

- Great Harmony — Another human realm whose Five Prestigious Clans were overthrown by Great Tang Talisman School experts. 405 408
Notable Characteristics
- The dynasty’s stability depends on both formal imperial authority and the cooperation—or rivalry—of entrenched aristocratic clans. 114 216
- Its cultivation world includes major Daoist, Buddhist, Confucian, martial, and shamanic traditions, with the Celestial Master Mansion increasingly recognized as the leading Taoist power. 433
- Great Tang’s national fortune can empower rulers and court-appointed figures, but it is vulnerable to shifts in earth veins, popular sentiment, succession disputes, and foreign incursions. 347 379 392
- The dynasty’s recent victories transformed it from a realm defending its borders into a major power whose actions affect multiple human worlds. 433 492
