According to that moderator, the former Magic Sect was a large sect-like cultivator alliance with a loose structure and a lineage of techniques, much like the cultivation groups depicted in many Xianxia novels.
However, due to ideological conflicts a thousand years ago, the Magic Sect experienced a hundred-year-long internal turmoil, where many cultivators who wished to live peacefully were attacked and schemed against by vile individuals, leading to the sect's fragmentation, which could be regarded as a catastrophic calamity.

Some sects eventually disappeared into history, and their descendants gradually became independent cultivators.
