987 Nine States Divine Territory

Above the Heaven Court, countless immortals and gods reside.

Among them, gods are the official deities enshrined by the Investiture of the Gods, while immortals are cultivators who have achieved success and come from various major sects in the Lower Realm, which are referred to as the orthodox Daoist sects.

If a grandmaster serves as an official in heaven, their disciples are deemed orthodox. Conversely, if a grandmaster is an unaffiliated cultivator without a heavenly post, they are considered unorthodox and can only identify themselves as such.

Likewise, only orthodox Daoist sects can obtain the consent of the Heaven Court to occupy Cave Heaven Blessed Lands and establish sects.

Unorthodox sects, not recognized by the Heaven Court, cannot establish sects in Cave Heaven Blessed Lands and ultimately must remain as unaffiliated cultivators, which means they have no fixed abode.
