Wudang and Shaolin were both famous sects in Jin Yong's novels, but there was no clear answer as to who was the number one sect. This mainly depended on the reader's definition and standards of the " first sect." From the perspective of martial arts strength, Shaolin Temple was generally regarded as one of the strongest sects in Jin Yong's novels because it had the strongest internal energy and martial arts system and had a large number of experts. However, the Wudang Sect also had a very high status and influence in Jin Yong's novels. Its martial arts were also very unique and there were many outstanding masters. From the perspective of history and inheritance, the Wudang Sect is generally considered to be older than the Shaolin Temple because it originated from the Ming Dynasty while the Shaolin Temple originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty. In addition, the inheritance and development of Wudang Sect in Jin Yong's novel was also very complete. The characteristics of many disciples also made it more representative and influential in the novel. Therefore, no matter from the perspective of martial arts strength or historical inheritance, Wudang Sect could be said to be the number one sect in Jin Yong's novels. However, which one was stronger still needed to be judged according to the readers 'point of view and standards.
