Divine Blazing Mountain

Divine Blazing Mountain is an immortal sect that focused on cultivating fire and yang arts. They are the polar opposite of Glacier Palace and only accepted male disciples. These two sects are at constant war with each other ever since they were founded.

The sect is located on the side of a massive cone volcano. The active volcano would spew bits of lava and it was a singular existence in a wide desolate plain where everything looked burned and lifeless.(Ch 150)

Divine Blazing Mountain disciples practiced the Blazing Sun Art. If a man cultivating the Blazing Sun Art took the virgin yin of a woman practicing Eternal Winter Sutra, it would give them a huge boost in cultivation. In fact, one of the ways to ascend to the immortal realm with the Blazing Sun Art was to obtain a multitude human cauldrons at the peak of Spirit Initiate Realm.(Ch 50)

There are about five thousand male disciples along with additional wives and children.(Ch 150) It is a family oriented sect and all male disciples are relatives of the sect master in some form or another. The women are all wives or daughters of disciples. They cannot practice the sect's art so they are responsible for daily chores instead of cultivating. The wives come from many different backgrounds, from peasant girls to daughters of rich and noble families.

However, the largest singular source of women actually came from within the sect. They are the daughters of disciples. They have a lot of intermarriage between families and disciples. Incest is forbidden but marriage between first cousins is allowed. Everyone ends up being related to each other in some way. If a disciple dies, his wives will be taken by other disciples.(Ch 151)

The sect has over a thousand years of history. The sect master tended to have many Glacier Palace disciples as wives and the Blazing Sun Art made many references to the importance of the Eternal Winter Sutra.(Ch 154)
