During the Western Zhou dynasty, before 1046 BCE, the Yinshan Sect came into being. It was a secret cultivation sect unknown to the world, a mysterious and inscrutable school of esoteric practice, particularly renowned for its dark arts. The Yinshan Sect combined folk magical traditions that worshipped the Yin Dharma Lord, the ??? King, and the Pangu Emperor. Its arts emphasized yin, using command banners to direct troops and summon generals, and included spells for harmony, enchantment, soul summoning, soul driving, and soul binding... It was the originator of the Five ??? Arts. It had faced rejection many times, but the truth is that magic itself has no distinction between good and evil. Even the most unconventional magic is still just magic. What matters is how it is used. You cannot easily judge good and evil by the nature or name of a spell...
Many people may not know much about the mysterious Yinshan Sect, but if you mention the Ancient Tomb Sect, surely many people will. The Yinshan Sect is actually somewhat like the Ancient Tomb Sect from Jin Yong's novels. Those who cultivate its arts share Xiaolongnu's ageless, beautiful appearance. This is not the artificial youth that money or cosmetic surgery can buy today. It is a youthful quality that extends from their demeanor and minds to their faces, as if they had never experienced the passage of time. Practitioners must be pure-hearted, meaning kind and untainted. Most importantly, those who cultivate the orthodox Yinshan martial arts and its highest secrets must be women, and they must remain free of worldly desires and attachments for years to master its essence. Men who practice it depend on their aptitude, but because of men's physical nature, nearly all of them only learn the basics: reading the future, predicting people's fates, and changing them. These are the Yinshan Sect's most fundamental arts, and most of its male disciples practice them. Women disciples are the ones who master the highest secrets. Of course, the sect's leaders are all women... However, throughout the Yinshan Sect's history, there was one exceptionally powerful male disciple who later became an elder. This is another way the sect resembles the Ancient Tomb Sect in Jin Yong's novels...
