His ascension to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot was smooth, landing him at a branch of the Nine Flames Sect, which happened to be an ally of the Qianling Sect.
The main temple of the Spirit Control Sect was in the Qianling Mountain Range; after Yuling True Monarch ascended to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, there already existed a sect by the name of Spirit Control Sect, so he established his own sect called the Qianling Sect.
Among the Human Clan of the Green Lotus Continent, there are ten major forces, which the vast majority of cultivators commonly refer to as "one family, two pavilions, three sects, and four gates"; Qianling Sect is not among them.
To be one of the top ten forces of the Human Clan on the Green Lotus Continent, at least ten Unity Cultivators are needed; Qianling Sect, with only three Unity Cultivators, is considered a middle power.
The overall strength of the Nine Flames Sect is somewhat stronger than that of Qianling Sect, boasting five Unity Cultivators.
