The destination that Li Ling and Bai Ruyi sought was the Asura Blood Hall. This was where Li Ling would be signed into the large tree that the Six Paths Demon Sect occupied and formally become one of its members, though at the lowest rank.
But to make it make sense, we would have to talk about the structure of a grand sect like the Six Paths Demon Sect and how things like the Tianmo Empire and the Asura Blood Hall fit into things.
To start with, what was a sect? It was simply a type of governmental or ruling body that employed a strict authoritarian system based on either clan ties or a unified religious identity that acted as a closed form of society.
What separated a normal village or any other form of authoritarian government with positions was the fact that sects were mostly a pseudo-religious type of government. They were half theocratic, half authoritarian, taking bits from the two and mixing them into a unique system that was born in the east.
