Celestial Sect of Wonders

> "*From today onwards, our Sect’s name shall be the Celestial Sect of Wonders. A sect mysterious and abstruse beyond imagination. A door to the wonders of the world. A sect above the celestial powers of the Heavens. An estate that will last longer than time.*"

## **History**

The Sect was first given renown by Lin Feng and his Immediate Disciples. It has been described as an upcoming power comparable to the 3 great [Holy Land] sects: Thunderclap Temple , Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Void Sect. Occasionally, they've also been compared to the [Heaven's Gate], a sect that despite not surviving its own era, had similar unparalleled momentum in its rise to power/influence. Eventually the Sect prove that only the number 1 holy ground, the Great Void Sect might be able to rival them but surpassed even them.

When it was first established, the Sect lacked powerhouses to set up a foundation for the sect until [Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, and Xiao Budian / The Four ] formed their Immortal Souls. After that, the immortal soul powerhouses kept on coming like a tidal wave among the younger generation. Additionally, they lacked resources. But now they are considered one of the richest sects as they own many [Middle Worlds] including the [Celestial Wonders World], multiple Mountains in the [Ying Sea], and multiple Gateways into the [Starry Sea].

Later they obtained the entire Ying, Starry, Netherworld, and finally the Spirit Sea.

Unlike other sects that focus mostly on the physiques and innate bone-root (ability), the Sect focuses on 4 different talents: the innate physics, intelligence, determination and fortune; the qualities in the talent measuring device of [[Lin Feng]]'s founder system. Potential disciples must pass the [Heart Revealing Steps] to become official members/disciples of the sect. If they fail, they are permitted to take up residence with their families and retry. In earlier days, sect guardian Kang Nanhua oversaw new entrants/challengers anytime via a portal situated in the [trader assoc\_] in [\_town].

## **Appearance and Locations**

The Celestial Sect of Wonders was first founded on Mount Yujing and then expanded with the 8 Direct Disciples' Abodes. The Sect also became independent realm with its own set of rules embodied by different locations :

* Time / Mount Yujing
* Space / Black Heavenly Treasure Tree
* Life / Heaven Revolving Purple Clouds
* YingYang / Yin Yang Sea
* Idea / Lin Feng

The sect's uniforms are purple robes or variants embroidered with a Taijitu. For more information about Mirror Lake & Cloud Mirror City.

### **Mount Yujing**

The Sect was founded on Mount Yujing. It is usually positioned within the [Kunlun Mountains] and is undoubtably, a power spot rivaling any known [holy ground]. Unlike other sects' homeground/mountains however, it is able to move and hide in [Void Space] such that even finding it becomes extremely difficult.

At the top of the mountain is the [Black Heavenly Treasure Tree] said to be greater than the other [4 Grand Celestial Trees]. [Lucky] in its infant-human form, [xuan Li], the [world destroying sword], its container/casket (sheathe) and the [chess playing elder] and his chessboard were first found here.

There is an [accelerated timespace] witin the tree. Later it is discovered that the chessboard too, holds its own internal, seemingly infinite dimension. One considerably more dangerous as it forces visitors into deep sleep of which reveals their dreams/thoughts to any still awake. Otherwise with almost every entrance of the tree into a situation, its branches are said to have seemingly extended/grown into various other worlds/dimensions.

Around the Mountain and Tree, the Heaven Revolving Purple Clouds surround and protect the Holy Ground. The thickness is such that, it can singlehandedly prevented entrants with harmless but quickly renewing and inexhaustible layers. Instory, they appear to have every use imaginable: to create/build, to capture/entrap, to nurture/heal,.. Comparatively, while [founder] wields it like a trademark, later disciples including Immediates have taken to it more as a crafting ingredient among many.

Below the mountain, spreading outwards is a black sea filled with the concept of Yin; darkness, and cold. However hidden deep within the sea is a bright, warm Yang essence. (treasure embryo?) This is the Yin Yang Sea that supports and is supported by the Mountain.

Surrounding and protecting the mountain are the Disciple Abodes.

### **Disciple Abodes**

They had just witnessed the excavation of six humongous boulders from the body of Mount Yujing. Lin Feng had removed these six boulders and allowed them to float freely in the void above. These six boulders were glittering like humongous pieces of white jade and they were all roughly the size of a little knoll(Hill). They were all of a different shape which was a fact Lin Feng did not seem to be bothered by.

These boulders might have left the main body of Mount Yujing but they were not completely out of its control. They were like satellites orbiting about Mount Yujing as though they were guarding the spiritual mountain. The Black Heavenly Treasure Tree’s branches trembled as six unbelievably thick branches of leaves which were extremely close to the main trunk of the tree detached themselves. Following which, they transformed into six streaks of colorful light as they connected themselves between the edge of Mount Yujing and the humongous boulders which were afloat.

The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds surged as they formed purple bridges over the branches between Mount Yujing and the six boulders. The purple clouds expanded and enveloped the six boulders, giving them some sort of independence while maintaining the intimate connection with Mount Yujing.

Afterwords, Lin feng did the same and created 2 more abodes for new direct disciples. Each of these abodes would have to be renovated by the direct/immediate disciples of Lin Feng according to their own tastes and requirements.

These abode served as their personal residency where they and their disciples could live and cultivate. They also acted as pillars that protected the sect from all sides.

These abodes are:

1. Inferno Precipice (Xiao Yan)
2. Heavenly Temple (Zhu Yi)
3. Forest Abode (Wang Lin)
4. WasteLand Valley (Xiao Budian)
5. Blizzard Valley (Yue Hongyan)
6. Nirvana World (Yan Qing)
7. River Abode(Li Yuanfang)
8. Qingwu Pavilion(Luo Qingwu)

Heavenly Cosmic Ray World

### **Main Buildings**

Most buildings within the sect were created with [System]'s Sect Tokens (chapter\_). These buildings have been described as so majestic that the other sects are pretty much a wooden shack compared to these buildings. Also, these buildings are indestructible unless the attacker has a cultivation 2 levels above the controller.

2. disciple mantras
3. foundational mantra [The Great Classic of the Ways of Virtues]. The special part of this block is that as long as a sliver of a mantra is injected within the block will infer and create the rest.

## **Mantras and Abhijinas**

The mantras of the Sect has been described as very special. Unlike other mantras that are based on 1 to a few elements the mantra of the [Celestial Sect of Wonders]' mantra is based on 8 elements to encompass all of creation. As a result, it is capable of inferring the mantras of other sects and even finding their weak points.

It has been mentioned that cultivating the mantras of the Sect guarantees a first level foundation and a purple aurous core, which would shock the entire world. However creating a supreme foundation and an apparition within the aurous core still requires extreme talent and effort.

## Rules and Ranks

* From today onwards, there will be an external location for sect and the disciples will be separated into Foundational and Successive Disciples.
* For all who have just joined, will be known as Foundational Disciples and will train above the Yun Peak as that will be their training ground.
* Every 10 days, there will be someone who will pass on tips and guidance regarding cultivation. Every month, there will be a sect elder holding talks.
* There will be random tests within the sect. Once the tests have been passed, foundational disciples can promote to a Successive Disciples.
* A Successive Disciple will follow his/her Master for their future cultivation and after the Successive Disciples have establish their foundations, they can accept disciples of their own.
* A test will be held and after passing the test, one can become a Successive Disciple. It's fine even if failed. One just has to continue cultivating on Yun Peak. In the near future, another test will be held.

There were seniority ranks among the Successive Disciples, but there were no ranks within the Foundational Disciples. This might lead to a particular situation. For two people who joined at the same time, one of them might become a Successive Disciple first while the other was still a Foundational Disciple. When the lagging one finally becomes a Successive Disciple, his previous companion might become his Master. It might even be the case for someone who joined later to pass the test first and become a Successive Disciple. For the person who took longer to become a Successive Disciple, his previous junior might become his Master.

Overall speaking, the system emphasized a lot on achievements. That was why the abovementioned circumstances could happen. But as long as the test was fair, no one would comment much about it. On the other hand, they would become more motivated.

As for those who were jealous and plotted against others, such a situation was bound to be present but Lin Feng was not too bothered about this. Educating and ensuring a positive atmosphere within the sect was his role. For those who decide to take the wrong path, they could just be treated as the bad guys. A sect was a microcosm of society. All forms of discipline should be present.
