The Way of the Sword in the Martial World

The Dao is something one may pursue for a hundred lifetimes, a thousand lifetimes, and still never reach the end of. Live a hundred lives, enter three thousand worlds, and comprehend ten thousand great Daos.

The chivalrous way: one person, one sword, traveling a thousand miles and slaying all evil. To draw one's sword when encountering injustice is to be a hero; to shoulder the nation's burdens is to be a great hero...

The kingly way: love all people throughout one's life, use benevolence to govern the unkind, and use goodness to govern the wicked. This is the kingly way...

The domineering way: bow to neither Heaven nor Earth. Let future generations debate right and wrong, good and evil, and justice and injustice. This is the domineering way...

There are countless paths, all beneath your feet. Only after walking them can you know whether they are good or bad.
