Sky Barrier

The original Tang Sect is from Tang San's past life at Hell's Peak. It is divided into the Inner Sect and the Outer Sect. The Inner Sect members are able to learn all of the secrets of Tang Sect, which has existed for centuries and has centuries of knowledge accumulated.

Tang Sect has many secrets and techniques. Their Hidden Weapons are designed and constructed in a way that no outsider can mimic. Even a Tang Sect disciple must learn them arduously for several years before becoming proficient in their use.

The greatest difference between Inner and Outer Tang Sect was the usage methods of hidden weapons.[1] Outer sect gave priority to mechanisms, and for inner sect, the standard was genuine technique. Poison use was likewise an Outer sect talent, while in the inner sect, hidden weapons were handed down in a direct line from master to disciple and very few employed poison, since they were basically not needed.[1]

By the time Tang San became an outer disciple of the Sect, it was a shadow of its former glory. Outer disciples are not allowed to learn the secret techniques of the sect, while the inner disciples can barely learn them. Bulling was common within the sect.

It was said by Grandmaster Tang Lan that he feared that the Tang Sect will soon decline and cease to exist. That is why he entrusted Tang San with the core secrets of the sect hoping he may one day revive the sect.[2]

The Sect deploys a Sky Barrier in order to protect their sect. The Clear Sky Clan has a similar barrier.

Inner Sect[]

In Tang Sect inner sect’s practice regimen, the requirements regarding eyesight and hand strength were extremely high. Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Jade Hand were the required course for inner Tang sect disciples.[1]

Outer Sect[]

The Outer Sect focuses on making and using mechincal hidden weapons.

General Principles (Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record)[]

First Point: Never let a person you cannot completely trust know how much strength you really possess. [3]

Second Point: What are hidden weapons: employed surreptitiously, a special martial weapon to vanquish the enemy and obtain victory. If the enemy knows you want to use it, like that, it is no longer a hidden weapon, rather an overt weapon.[4]

Third Point: Determine whether the opponent is an enemy. If they are, then aim to kill. If not then show mercy, otherwise you shall only increase your worries.[5]
