*swish!*
Just as Ye Tian Yun practiced the first move of the One Sword For All technique, he suddenly felt as if the sword had become lighter!
Usually, a sword would weigh a few pounds to save and increase the momentum of the sword attacks; however, at this time Ye Tian Yun suddenly felt as if the sword in his hand had turned into a peacock feather - light and long.
But he didn't let this bother himself and continued to practice the next sword moves - he knew that he was close to his goal.
The feeling continued and it moved throughout his body as for the third time in his life, Ye Tian Yun felt the euphoria of being an all-powerful being.
Ye Tian Yun had successfully comprehended a new Sword Intent!
And he had accomplished this in mere two-three hours of time!
One must not forget that it takes a whole lifetime for cultivators even to have hope to comprehend Sword Intent.
Here, Ye Tian Yun had accomplished this within a few hours, and he did it without the presence of Qi flowing through his body!
After two hours of utmost concentration, Ye Tian Yun entered the Manifestation Realm of Sword Intent.
Even then, he showed no signs of stopping as he continued to practice his sword technique without giving any rest to his body.
He already had the momentum in his practice; if he stopped or slowed down, he might lose the best opportunity to break through once more in the Sword Intent Realm!
The next stage was the Sword Attainment Realm - one of the crucial and most challenging to reach realms in all the Stages of Sword Intent.
One might argue that the higher we go, the harder it becomes to breakthrough.�
This statement is indeed true in almost all cases; however, in the case of Sword Intent, there's an exception.
The Sword Attainment Realm.
This is the second realm of the total four known realms of Sword Intent, and is the hardest to reach.
If breaking through the Manifestation Realm is compared to climbing the highest mountain, unlocking the Sword Domain would be like circling to the moon.
But, before that, reaching the Sword Attainment Realm would be no different than landing on the sun!
This was how hard it was to get to the Sword Attainment Realm, and almost all the cultivators who reached the Manifestation Realm remained stuck on this realm forever.
The cultivators who reached the Sword Attainment Realm were as rare as the phoenix's hair, and this is what makes them very precious.
Even in the Sect, when Yuan Shuchun learns that there's a disciple who had reached this realm, she immediately wishes to find him and even made up her mind to cancel the banquet, which could decide her league's future because it was a chance to recruit most of the new top disciples of the Inner Court.
Still, Yuan Shuchin wouldn't regret canceling the banquet because a disciple in the Sword Attainment realm of Sword Intent is too precious for anyone.
The reason why this makes them precious other than their rarity is the fact that this realm is also called the 'genuine' Sword Intent Realm.
Those who have reached this realm have genuinely comprehended the Sword Intent.
Those who are still on the Manifestation Realm are considered to be 'on-the-way' in terms of Sword Intent comprehension.
But because it's very rare and almost impossible to get to the Sword Attainment Realm, cultivators also put a realm before it, the Manifestation Realm, so that the cultivators have a sense of accomplishment and don't feel disheartened.
The reason why this realm is considered to be the 'genuine' Sword Intent Realm is because it is this realm that concludes the nature of one's Sword Intent.
What Ye Tian Yun was targeting was a continuous breakthrough and reaching the Sword Attainment Realm.
However, as stated earlier, it wasn't an everyday thing to be able to reach the Sword Attainment Realm. Thus, even though Ye Tian Yun was feeling confident in himself, he knew that it wouldn't be easy.
He continued to practice, each move was faster and sharper than the last one, but there was nothing that he sensed which could have helped him to know that he was getting close to reaching the second stage of Sword Intent.
Ye Tian Yun didn't know what kind of nature would his Sword Intent have. Will it be powerful like his previous two? Or will it be just a regular one that wouldn't be as effective as the Sword Domains that he would face in the coming future?
After all, this era was the one with the most talented geniuses. Ye Tian Yun wasn't going to be the only person who would succeed in reaching the Sword Domain Realm.
In fact, there would be even more terrifying talents in terms of Sword Cultivation, someone would succeed and reach the stage where they could be vying for the Throne of the Heavenly Emperor, but there would also be many who would die before even reaching their full potential.
Ye Tian Yun was very well aware of this fate. In his previous life, he was lucky to have the backing of the best background in the Middle Heavens. But in this lifetime, he had left all this behind and come to the Lower Heavens on his quest for the Tokens and Emblems, which would one day decide the fate of this world.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun calmed his mind and continued to practice moves from the One Sword For All technique.
He wanted to focus as much as he could, just so that he could increase the chances of himself achieving the rarest possible Sword Intent!
Thus, without distracting himself, Ye Tian Yun continued to focus on his Sword Moves.
After what felt like an eternity, Ye Tian Yun finally felt a sizzling sensation throughout his body.
He knew that he was close to getting to the second realm!
