Thousand Leaves Sect

Once an extremely powerful top Sect of the Southern Territory of Star Boundary, Thousand Leaves Sect is historically famous for their attainments on the Dao of Puppetry.

## Members

### Ancestor

* Ye Chong (Antiquity Sect Master, Deceased) - Ye Chong is the Sect Master responsible for cutting Thousand Leaves Sect off from its Secret Boundary after taking all of its Secret Arts and Techniques with him. He did this in order to turn himself into a Puppet and reach the perceived peak of the Dao of Puppetry, but the process went awry, and he was forced to leave behind a wisp of Remnant Soul within his Puppet Body to await the arrival of future disciples who could repair the Space Array. This resulted in the Sect's eventual fall from dominance.

## Puppets

Thousand Leaves Sect was once known for refining extraordinarily powerful and even human-like puppets. The different Puppet Grades are listed below, with each Grade having 3 Ranks:

* **Yellow Grade**

* **Profound Grade**

* **Earth Grade** - Very life-like, Earth Grade Puppets correlate to the 1st-3rd Order Dao Source Realm.

* **Heaven Grade** - Each Heaven Grade Puppet is equivalent to the Emperor Realm. Likewise, the highest ranked Heaven Grade Puppet is roughly equivalent to the 3rd Order Emperor Realm. Thousand Leaves Sect had 4 such 3rd Order Emperor Realm comparable Heaven Grade Puppet Guardians hidden in the Spirit Peaks that surrounded its Sect. These 4 absolutely massive Heaven Grade Puppet Guardians were refined to the form of an Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise respectively.

* **Spirit Grade** - Extremely human-like, the legendary Spirit Grade Puppets of Thousand Leaves Sect could, after successfully merging with a Divine Soul, practice Secret Arts to increase their strength like a human cultivator. Of course, after losing access to their Secret Boundary, Thousand Leaves Sect lost the ability to refine these extraordinary puppets, which were extremely rare even in their heyday. The Firebird Artifact Spirit, Liu Yan, eventually acquired an embryonic Spirit Grade Puppet Body to become a true physical entity.

Unfortunately, having lost their Sect's inheritance for so long, the last generation of Thousand Leaves Sect members could not control any puppets over the Mysterious Grade.

## History

Thousand Leaves Sect is introduced when Yang Kai is invited by its Young Lady, Ye Jing Han, to help fix its broken Space Array, which leads to the Sect's Secret Boundary and its long lost inheritance. Though Yang Kai subsequently helps Thousand Leaves Sect tremendously on numerous occasions where it comes under attack, in addition to helping it to retrieve its legacy, Thousand Leaves Sect eventually ceases to exist once its Sect Master, Ye Hen, decides to permanently merge it into High Heaven Palace.

## Trivia

* The Four Heaven Grade Puppet Guardians of Thousand Leaves Sect are a clear reference to the Four Symbols(四象), or "Four Guardians," of Chinese Cultural fame. These are namely: the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North.
