Long story short, this kind of Heavenly Vow didn't have much constraining force on weak warriors at low realms.
However, it did have immense binding force on semi-governing gods and more powerful warriors such as governing gods.
Once a governing god made a Heavenly Vow, he wouldn't dare to violate it easily.
If he broke his vow, his fighting power would have been almost completely destroyed.
Simply put, the consequence was far too heavy to bear.
"Young man, I think you should believe us,"
the supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect declared, his eyes firmly on Austin right after they made the vow.
Meanwhile, the other seven governing gods couldn't hide their sense of loss.
All of their gazes softened and the way they looked at Austin changed.
They made a Heavenly Vow that they would follow Austin's orders from now on.
"Good.
I'll let go of all the grudges between us.
You have to remember your vow.
Once you break your vow, I'll punish you before the heaven can do so,"
Austin said, his voice light and cheery. Only then did he put away his sword.
In the blink of an eye, the harsh murderous will that had enveloped his entire body vanished.
Since the eight top leaders of the Long Sword Sect made a Heavenly Vow together, Austin lost all desire to make things difficult for them.
"Mr. Lin, don't worry. None of us would dare to easily break our Heavenly Vow,"
the supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect assured.
"Is that so?
I trust you'll keep your word."
Austin nodded in response.
"I don't have any special requirements for your Long Sword Sect.
You can operate your sect as usual.
If I need anything from you, I'll just send a voice message."
With a wave of Austin's hand, eight jade slips flew out and each one landed in front of one of the eight senior leaders of the Long Sword Sect.
These jade slips were something Austin specially created.
As long as they use jade slips, long distance transfer of voice messages between Austin and another person would be possible.
"Got it,"
the supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect replied, taking the jade slip into his hand.
While the seven governing gods of the Long Sword Sect, including their sect leader, also pocketed the jade slips.
All of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
If Austin told them to take to his heels like a dog or do various errands like they were his attendants, they would have felt humiliated beyond belief.
Each of them was hailed as a top cultivator in the Sword Cosmos. They were the rulers of the Sword Cosmos.
Fortunately, Austin would just let them operate the sect as usual, which was the greatest thing they could have possibly asked for.
"I'm leaving then."
Austin turned around and quickly walked out of the Long Sword World.
"Goodbye, Mr. Lin."
The supreme grandmaster politely bid him goodbye.
Austin activated his bodily movement skill. Every time he took a step, he passed through space and time. Between one blink and the next, he disappeared from their sight.
"Supreme grandmaster, he's gone."
The sect leader of the Long Sword Sect turned to the supreme grandmaster with a complicated expression on his face after Austin was gone from their sights.
"Alas, we really had no other choice today.
Fortunately, our Long Sword Sect held on strong. We've survived a disaster.
Remember, from now on, our Long Sword Sect would no longer be his enemy.
Do you understand?
The Heavenly Vow isn't something we decided to do for fun,"
the supreme grandmaster said slowly. Every word that left his lips was spoken in a grave tone.
