In the end, the entire Tiansheng Empire was "divided" by the ten major sects, and since no one had the strength to completely annex all the other nine major sects, even the Tianyu Sect did not have such strength. Therefore, no one wants to be a "bird", although everyone wants to "be the king and the emperor", but no one dares to take this step. Even though the Imperial Capital Heavenly City had been reduced to the sphere of influence of the Purple Gold Pavilion, the Purple Gold Pavilion was still "polite" to the Heavenly Saint Imperial Family, and did not dare to trespass in any way.

Moreover, with the end of the division of the territory, the major sects still have a very "tacit understanding" and still respect the "Tiansheng Imperial Family" as the "co-master", and still formally submit to the imperial family, and consider themselves to be the subjects of the Tiansheng Empire, in fact, everyone knows that at this time, the empire has no soldiers in the major states and the imperial capital Tiansheng City, there is no official, and there is no tax.

All the sects only claimed to represent the Heavenly Saint Imperial Family in managing the cities and residents within the state, and never mentioned that they had defeated the Heavenly Saint Empire's garrison in the local area, disbanded the state capital, and set up their own mountains. But in fact, the major sects are actually the "uncrowned kings" of the major states, and all the people in the major states only recognize the sects and do not know the royal family.

Due to the martial arts of the entire Lingzhou Continent, the decline of the empire and the rise of the sect feel like a common thing for the people of the empire, and even become a good opportunity, especially because each sect has its own state, and in addition to the state capital, there are many towns and cities. At the same time, due to the intensification of competition among the major sects, in order to seek the expansion of the strength of the sect, ordinary people who were not originally clans and had no chance to join the sect at all were also recruited into the major sects, which was naturally different from before.

At the same time, since the imperial capital Tiansheng City was still nominally the residence of the royal family of the Tiansheng Empire, the ten major sects had a very "tacit understanding" to designate the imperial capital as a "non-war place". That is to say, no matter how vicious the major sects of the empire are, and how the fourteen major states of the empire are fighting, they cannot extend their force into the imperial capital. In particular, no matter whether the major sects are benevolent or enmity outside, there must be no fights within the imperial capital. At the same time, the ten major sects have all set up sect offices in the imperial capital Tiansheng City, which is responsible for connecting with the royal family and coordinating with other sects. So don't look at the major sects fighting to the death outside, but in the imperial capital Tiansheng City, it is a harmonious scene.

Among them, the Tianyu Sect occupies four major prefectures, namely the Jingzhou Domain, the Dingzhou Domain, the Yunzhou Domain, and the Yingzhou Domain, and the clan has the surname "Ouyang", and the main hall of the sect is set in the "Tianyu Mountain".

The Purple Pavilion occupies the Zhongzhou region, the imperial capital Tiansheng City, the clan is given the surname "Jin", and the main hall of the sect is set in the "Purple Mountain".

Wuji Gate occupies the Xianzhou domain and Yanzhou domain, the clan is surnamed "Zhao", and the main hall of the sect is set in the "Wuji Hantan".

Wanfenglin occupies the Suizhou region and Linzhou region, and the clan has the surname of "Sikong", and the main hall of the sect is set in Wanfengjian.

Yushenzong occupies the Bozhou domain, the clan is surnamed "Ou", and the main hall of the sect is set in Zhongwei Mountain.

The Iron Sword Gate occupies the Luzhou region, and the clan has the surname "Mo".

Linggu occupies the Tengzhou region, and the clan has the surname "Bai".

The Flower Sect occupies the Shengzhou region, and the clan has the surname "None".

Lingyun Hall occupies the Qizhou region, and the clan has the surname "Gu".

The Antarctic Gate occupies Yingzhou Island and the South China Sea, and the surname "Nan" is fixed.

According to the strength, the first level of the ten major sects is the Tianyu Sect, the second level is Wanfeng Forest and Zijin Pavilion, the third level is the Feather God Sect, the Wuji Gate, and the Iron Sword Gate, the fourth level is the Lingyun Hall and the Flower Sect, and the weakest ones are the Spirit Valley and the South Pole Gate.

After the establishment of the ten major sects, they were also filthy and strife, although the major sects had enough say in their own state and could completely control the affairs of their own state. However, because the powerful big sects wanted to annex the small sects, and the small sects wanted to protect themselves, there were many frictions between the major sects at the junction of the states.

The biggest friction occurred between the Heavenly Feather Sect in the north and the Wanfeng Forest in the south.

The Tianyu Sect is one of the major sects of the "Two Heavenly Sage Sects", and after the chaotic era, it has occupied the four major states alone, becoming the largest sect in the empire. The most terrible thing is that these four major states are like a wall that surrounds the Tiansheng Great Plain, and has become an obstacle for the major sects in the south and west of the empire to go to the imperial capital. The Heavenly Feather Sect was like a "sharp blade", traversing the center of the empire, cutting the connection between the north and south of the empire. In particular, the Yingzhou domain of the Tianyu Sect is located on the southern periphery of the Tiansheng Great Plain, and it is connected to the Suizhou domain of the three most powerful sects in the empire, Wanfenglin, the Bozhou domain of the Feather God Sect, and the Luzhou domain of the Iron Sword Gate.

And Wan Fenglin, as the first sect to start the rebellion, is the sect that ignited the fuse of the rebellion of the entire empire, the sect whose strength is second only to the Tianyu Sect, and the most powerful sect in the entire southern region. For the Tianyu Sect to monopolize the four major states, Wan Fenglin was very dissatisfied. Especially in the Yingzhou region, before the Tiansheng clan established the Tiansheng Empire to unify the southern part of the Lingzhou continent, it had always been the territory of the Wanfeng clan. When Wan Fenglin set off a "storm of turmoil", he also carried out an operation in the Yingzhou region, at that time, Tianyu Sect did not get involved in the news of Yingzhou at all, but taking advantage of Wan Fenglin's lack of preparation, Tianyu Sect quickly dispatched troops to occupy Yingzhou and sent a large number of soldiers and horses to garrison. When Wan Fenglin reacted, the Tianyu Sect was already "raw rice cooked and matured", and the Yingzhou domain was firmly occupied, and Wan Fenglin attacked many times without any result.

And Wan Fenglin always wanted to get the Yingzhou domain, and opened up the channel for his two major states "Suizhou Domain" and "Linzhou Domain" to go to Zhongzhou Domain and the Imperial Capital, so that he could become the eastern and southern territories of the empire and become the strongest sect in the empire.

However, Wan Fenglin launched many great battles against the Tianyu Sect and the Yingzhou Domain, and in the end they all ended in failure. Seeing that his own single sect really "couldn't do" the Tianyu Sect, Wan Fenglin started the idea of other sects in the south.

Wan Fenglin, as the strongest of the seven major sects in the south, issued an order to the six major sects in the south, including the Shenyu Sect, the Iron Sword Gate, the Linggu Sect, the Flower Sect, the Lingyun Palace, and the South Pole Gate, announcing that Wan Fenglin recognized the legitimacy of the existing spheres of influence of the major sects, and at the same time promised that Wan Fenglin would not take the initiative to attack any of the other six major sects in the south, and also asked the seven major sects to stop infighting, otherwise Wan Fenglin's military strength would be used to crusade against the warring parties. In addition, the most important point is that Wan Fenglin asked everyone to join the ranks of the Heavenly Feather Sect.

The situation in the empire shifted from rebellion against the rule of the empire and individual struggles between sects to direct collective battles among major sects.
