Professor Jiang of the Sword Dao Department

Adult Sword Dao Major.

The host offered an explanation here as well.

This was mainly for recruiting cultivators in society who had comprehended Sword Intent, or who had the potential to comprehend Sword Intent, giving them higher-level training with stronger faculty and resources.

Rather than leaving them to roam freely through society and grow on their own, it would accelerate the formation of a force spanning from the low levels to the high.

Unlike the sixteen-year-old students in the various Cultivation Departments of the Immortal Sect, the cultivators in the Sword Dao Major were basically adults who had undergone many trials and hardships. Thus, it was called the Adult Sword Dao Major.

In truth, this policy interfering with the Cultivation Departments of Immortal Sect Universities had been hugely controversial. It had been debated countless times, and there were very many opponents.

There were mainly two reasons.

First was hatred. The Great Sun Sword Pavilion had slaughtered too excessively back then. The teachers and elders of the Nascent Soul True Lords now in power had lived through the era of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion. As for Deity Transformation Cultivators, they had personally experienced it. Their opinions could not be ignored.

Second was the difference in paths.

Just like the Great Sun Sword Sect and Great Sun Law Sect in Beiyuan, which had originally sprung from the same source.

They had originally been cultivators of the Great Sun Sect. Quite a few Nascent Soul True Lords from the two sects had friendships forged through life and death that spanned centuries, even millennia. They had blocked blades for one another on the battlefield many times. Whether one cultivated spells or swords, they had treated each other equally.

So why had they suddenly turned against one another in a fight to the death?
