Shadow Sect

Faction in Reverend Insanity

Sect

Shadow Sect is first named on San Cha mountain when killer ghost doctor Chou Jiu claims a blessed land that holds the Door of Life and Death.

Appearance

Southern Border is its headquarters. Purple Mountain True Monarch set up many eerie fire caves at many locations there. ch. 1634

First naming on San Cha mountain

Fang Yuan first hears the name when Chou Jiu refuses to speak about the Door of Life and Death unless Fang Yuan joins the shadow sect. Chou Jiu then states that his sect is the Shadow Sect, that its founding ancestor was a rank eight Gu Immortal of the Immemorial Era who found the Door of Life and Death and placed it in his blessed land, and that many Gu Immortals were later nurtured there. ch. 384

Fang Yuan treats the claim as unproven. He notes that a sect said to date from the Immemorial Era would be a miracle if it still existed, and that if Shadow Sect were a great Southern Border force Chou Jiu would not be fighting alone. The sea oath Gu Chou Jiu cites is tied to a sea inside the Shadow Sect blessed land, so the blessed land’s location stays locked behind that oath. ch. 384

Chou Jiu’s account of the disciples

Chou Jiu says his original name was Zeng Ah Niu. He fell into Shadow Sect’s blessed land, passed the land spirit’s test, and became a disciple. At that time the sect had only two disciples: himself and a senior sister named Chen Jiu. He and Chen Jiu cultivate together and enter deep into the Door of Life and Death to capture life Gu and death Gu. He later names Chen Jiu as Doctor Su Shou and the outsider who took her away as Shang Yan Fei. ch. 385

Before dying, Chou Jiu says Shadow Sect has different views on life and death, and he leaves Fang Yuan the hope of finding the blessed land and the Door of Life and Death. ch. 385

Qin Bai Sheng, Lord Vice Envoy

Fairy Jiang Yu tells the captured Qin Bai Sheng that he is a member of Shadow Sect addressed as Lord Vice Envoy, and that his memory loss is because his soul was modified. A black robed Gu Immortal beside her adds that the sect’s supreme methods leave the soul looking unmodified, so that even a rank nine Gu Immortal can find no issue with it. ch. 771

A hundred thousand year plan against heaven

Old Man Yan Shi tells a fellow Shadow Sect member that their crucial plan has been devised for a hundred thousand years, and that their true enemy is not Central Continent’s Heavenly Court or the other four regions, but heaven itself. ch. 958

Immortals around Falling Heavenly River

Beside immortal zombie Bo Qing stand Envoy Blue of Shadow Sect, who is immortal zombie Seven Star Child, the blood path demonic immortal Song Zi Xing called Blood Dragon, and the hairy man refinement path Gu Immortal Yu Mu Chun. ch. 997

Refinement path formation

Fang Yuan works out that the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation is actually Shadow Sect’s own refinement path Gu formation, refining with the immortal apertures the Southern Border Gu Immortals left behind in death as refinement materials. ch. 1004

Behind the sect

At Yi Tian Mountain, Fang Yuan sees that the mastermind of Shadow Sect behind the scenes is Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. Ying Wu Xie activates lead soul into dream against Heaven Overseeing Tower, and Shadow Sect’s effort in creating him shows there. ch. 1010 After discussion, Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals, including Seven Star Child and Song Zi Xing, enter the formation and sacrifice themselves. ch. 1011

Founding and strategy

A scene of the first split souls leaving the Door of Life and Death states that only seven of ten made it past Reverse Flow River, that they chose to create an organization called Shadow Sect, and that the seven took the names Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Azure, Blue, and Purple. ch. 1016

Fang Yuan reads that after the battle on Yi Tian Mountain each region’s Zombie Alliance has become an empty shell, with Northern Plains Zombie Alliance vanishing and Dark Flow Giant City said to have sunk into Earth Trench. He concludes that Shadow Sect intentionally sacrificed Zombie Alliance while leaving defensive measures, including that sinking of Dark Flow Giant City. ch. 1084

A spy in Lang Ya blessed land

Ying Wu Xie tells Hei Lou Lan that Shadow Sect has a spy inside Lang Ya blessed land. ch. 1038

A traitor inside Lang Ya blessed land

Ying Wu Xie is informed that Fang Yuan has passed his tribulation, because Shadow Sect still keeps one hairy man Gu Immortal traitor inside Lang Ya blessed land. ch. 1060 Ying Wu Xie orders Sixth Hair to keep watching Fang Yuan and to let him develop, planning that once Ying Wu Xie has gathered strength and saved their main body the sect will settle accounts with Fang Yuan. ch. 1079

Emptied treasuries

Shadow Sect had emptied out almost all of its treasuries to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu, even using Zombie Alliance itself as immortal material for the ten extreme formation. ch. 1066

Guarding against heaven’s will

Fang Yuan, taking Shadow Sect as the best model for dealing with heaven’s will, notes that its members have to use self will to cleanse themselves of heaven’s will’s hidden influence, a burden he does not carry as a complete otherworldly demon. ch. 1086

Sixth Hair’s restraint

Sixth Hair, the spy Shadow Sect placed in Lang Ya Sect, will not let mishaps happen to Fang Yuan and will not harm his life, because after Shadow Sect saves Spectral Soul’s main body its next target will be Fang Yuan; he can at most suppress Fang Yuan and delay his growth to make things easier for Shadow Sect later. ch. 1143

Leadership and Southern Border ground

Purple Mountain True Monarch, a first generation split soul, led Shadow Sect until he turned into a purple gold rock, after which Da Li took over as leader. ch. 1402

Complete inheritance

At the crumbling stone lotus island, Spectral Soul’s will passes on the main body’s soul path true inheritance together with the rest of the collection, and tells Fang Yuan he has now completely inherited Shadow Sect and its hundred thousand years of accumulation. ch. 1435
