Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
The next day, the transmission of the Thunder God Sword Dance began. Dokgo Seong personally handed Cheongwol a porridge made from ground grass roots and said,
"The quintessence of the Thunder God Style swordsmanship, the Thunder God Sword Dance, unlike extremely practical spear arts, developed as part of sacrificial rites. It is the ultimate expression of reverence to the gods, infused with Heavenly Thunder Qi. Mastering it proves one possesses the qualities of a high priest and qualifies them to become the leader of the White Lotus Cult."
I had heard this explanation before. So I asked the question that had long piqued my curiosity.
"If that's the case, does that mean other martial styles also have ritual arts like the Thunder God Sword Dance?"
"Indeed."
Dokgo Seong stared at Cheongwol, who was forcing down the grass root porridge with great difficulty. Cheongwol looked like he desperately wanted meat, but as Dokgo Seong had suggested, he needed to eat the porridge to restore his body and mind. Only after Cheongwol had consumed more than half did Dokgo Seong finally turn his head.
"To be precise, the spirit-summoning sword arts exist in all four great martial styles. And the masters of each lineage are obligated to pass them only to their successors."
