I'll wait for some more comments, and I'll pick the one with the most vote then.

I like Divine Spirit Sect. Not only is it the most accurate of the three in terms of its connotations and meaning, it's also the shortest. Chinese names tend to turn into a huge mouthful when translated, so I am of the opinion that brevity is the soul of wit when deciding on such names. In fact, I might even suggest a radical idea of calling it something like the "Seraphim Sect", which while somewhat less accurate, is short, sounds good in English (it's even alliterative!), and gets its meaning across.

Thanks for the TL!

I'm fine with whatever name-wise. Honestly, after reading the number of cultivation manga/manhwa that I have, I'll literally take anything for a good translation.

@TheMadFool The problem with this, is that a seraphim is biblical, and Immortal Cultivation is based on Taoist principles. I agree that Divine Spirit Sect is in phase with the theme and tone of the manhua, but then again, so are Celestial God Sect/ Celestial Deities Sect.

I'll just wait for enough votes, and then choose the one with the most. (Democracy FTW)

@Dunhban Oh, I don't disagree. A Russian literature prof I used to know used to make a joke about translation: "A translation is like a wife. It can be beautiful or faithful, but it can't be both."

So he's creating an entire class of people who will be able to destroy the Earth for fun... Wonderful.
Spirit energy must be the reason xianxia worlds aren't constantly obliterated.

@TheMadFool I really like the way your professor was thinking.

@ufrckingsped He's the strongest in terms of battle prowess, but he's still ranked n°2 after defeating the Rainbow Rangers

天神 Directly translated is Sky god. Usually used to refer to the celestial deities in the heavenly court in the Chinese mythologies.
While heavenly god is probably the more accurate translation. Divine or Celestial deities sect probably would be easier for people to understand.
My votes on Celestial Deities sect

@CptHornSwoggle ーSame! It's really better than those other -Get betrayed and return/go to earth/reincarnate- Manhuas. Much much better.

Btw I vote for Divine Spirit Sect, because it's easier/faster to say

+1 to Celestial Deities. Divine Spirit also sounds good, but seems less descriptive of what they're trying to do.

@ufrckingsped The red guy was ranked #2
One the #1:
He's supposedly dead/was dead, it's revealed in a few chapters, but since it's astroman, he (I guess) got rebuilt.
