There are just five thousand martial artists within the Shenxiao Sect. However, since the Shenxiao Sect was only recently revived, the number of martial artists within the Sect is the least compared to the other powers within the Taoist School, and even fewer than the Chunyang Sect, which has the least disciples.
If one were to estimate the total number of Third-Grade false master educators within the entire Taoist Alliance, then the number of false masters would likely exceed one hundred thousand. Considering this data, along with the other big alliances, different forces around the world, and the number within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, as well as the independent practitioners in the world, wouldn't the number of false masters reach several millions?
