The One thousand hall battle palace could be considered a sect and not a sect at the same time, though to most it could be considered a cultivation academy, kind of like what the institute was for the Order.
The battle palace was formed by a collection of different trainers who taught different schools and styles of combat and everything that encompassed it. Among the many techniques taught by those trainers were; fist arts, spear arts, sword arts, palm, arts, kicking arts, movement and evasion arts, soul arts, knife arts, and the like, and it progressed down to niche arts like spirit beast union combat arts, which were derived from learning how spirit beasts fought and incorporating those techniques to be used by human cultivators.
