"Good! Senior White Dragon, we shall take you up on this opportunity."
Hearing the positive response, the White Dragon King smiled. In fact, he didn't expect anything less. This wasn't the kind of thing that just anyone could reject.
"Haha, I'm glad it's so. Now, there are many more details that I refrained from telling you yet, but before we get into those, I want the two of you to swear the Heavenly Oath."
"Senior, how does a Heavenly Oath work?" Damien questioned. He had obviously seen the concept before considering his cultivation novel obsession, but this wasn't the same as that.
In those words, the ruling entity known as the Heavens was basically an impartial authority, punishing cultivators for going against heaven's will through tribulations and bearing witness to their oaths.
Heavenly Oaths, for this reason, were sacred and unchallengeable. The only way to get around it was to leave loopholes in the path that was sworn.
