Dao

[The Dao Divine Technique]

"It was not as fierce as the 9 suns, nor as powerful as the 9 moons. It's neither hard nor soft. It's all about the balance"

50 years ago, the Abbot bestowed the secrets of the technique to the two Han swordmasters. Within a few years, the two of them managed to adapt the technique and create the Dao sword art, but originally the technique itself was a way to cultivate one's body and spirit. 

There are 8 Dao stages and 32 movement variations involving the channeling of spirit energy throughout the 12 main meridians in the human body.

The Abbot demonstrated to Emery how to understand the Dao, before leaving him to practice on top of the stone slab.
