Yang Jing was clad in a Daoist Robe, a Command Banner clutched in his hand.
He stood upon the Dharma Platform, the Celestial Waterfall Sword enshrined on the table before him. He performed the ritual of Stepping on Gang and Fighting while reciting a loud chant.
"Heaven and Earth are the gateway to change, the parents of all hexagrams. Kan and Li are the outer walls, turning the hub and trueing the axle. The four trigrams of yin and yang are the bellows, encompassing the Dao of Yin and Yang. Be as a skilled driver who grasps the bit and reins, holds to the marked line, and follows the ruts in the road!"
As he recited the prayer from the Sword Qi Canon, Yang Jing could sense a profound and mysterious connection forming between himself and the Celestial Waterfall Sword.
The destinies of man and sword slowly began to intertwine.
Under this faint connection, the Spiritual Essence within the Celestial Waterfall Sword was slowly drawn out from the blade.
