The power of the Huaidao Sect is characterized by the religious heresy it follows, forming secret societies within the folk community. They're often named with the terms "Huaidao" or "Sect", hence the abbreviation Huaidao Sect.

After countless resurrections and returns, they gradually split into various sizes of White Lotus variants, such as White Lotus Alpha, White Lotus Delta, White Lotus Omicron...
