Ye Tian Yun was quite surprised to witness the scene in front of him.
As soon as he had released his Sword Intent, he had also created his Sword Domain.
The Sword Domain was also the usual one - it couldn't be seen, but it could be felt.
However, the thing that surprised Ye Tian Yun was the lightning striking the floor within the domain.
It was pure black!
Earlier, when Ye Tian Yun had made his last attempt to combine the two different Sword Domains, he had caught a glimpse of this black lightning. However, at that time, he had thought it was just an illusion or his brain was playing a trick because too much was going on at that time.
But now that everything had calmed down and he wasn't facing any difficulties with his Sword Intent, Ye Tian Yun was sure that he wasn't hallucinating or anything.
The lightning was indeed black, and the aura it gave off was pretty frightening as well.
'Did this lightning turn black because I have successfully combined my Sword Intents?'
Looking around, Ye Tian Yun soon nodded his head on the hypothesis.
The black lightning was indeed due to the two Sword Intents integrating with each other.
The reason why he was affirmative was the presence of killing intent throughout the hall.
At first, Ye Tian Yun was quite surprised that he failed to detect the killing intent faster; however, it seemed logical that he wouldn't be able to easily sense the killing intent because it was coming from himself.
Other than black lightning, there wasn't anything that seemed out of the ordinary except for one feeling.
The feeling of power.
Ye Tian Yun was feeling the power running through his veins. It was so much that there was a confident expression all over his face for no reason.
He just felt that his success in integrating the Sword Domains had helped him power up a lot, and now all he needed was someone to test his power.
However, before that, Ye Tian Yun had to ask something, 'System, what do you know about this black lightning?'
[Host, Black Lightning is one of the rarest and most powerful types of lightning. It was once said that if one can understand the power of this lightning and comprehend the principle behind it, he will be able to traverse through the continents within minutes.]
[However, this is all but a rumor. Though, it being one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, types of lightning, is not a big secret because there have been many cultivators in the different eras who have been fortunate enough to possess its power.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, 'System, even if black lightning is very powerful, is there a chance for me to hide it or separate my killing intents once again?'
[Why, Host? Why would you want to separate your killing intent?]
'Of course, to get one more trump card.'
[Ah, so you're looking for another secret identity you can use?]
'Indeed,' Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, 'You see, if I can separate and combine my Sword Intents at will, I will be able to use them separately in different battles and easily disguise myself. After all, no one has ever had two Sword Intents, at least not in my knowledge.'
[Host, combining these Sword domains almost killed you, and you now want to get to the stage where you can combine and separate these two at your own will? You're just going to waste your time doing this.]
'Waste time? I thought you would be able to show me a way to get there,' Ye Tian Yun shrugged.
[Host, it's not that what you are trying to do is impossible, the problem is it's impossible to separate these Sword Intents. At least not before you form Nascent Soul. And with your cultivation speed, there's a long way to go before you reach that cultivation realm.]
'Nascent Soul?' Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin while replying, 'This will indeed take some time.'
Then looking at the hall around him, he continued, 'With the Qi density at this place, I might get to the Foundation Realm in half-year. Unfortunately, I can't stay here more than that.'
'This reminds me, System, how many days have we been here?'�
[It's been almost three days since you first entered this hall, Host]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, 'Well, not much time has passed, but still, a lot of my time is wasted here.'
[...]
System was quite speechless when it heard Ye Tian Yun's reply.�
[Host, even with the time lost, you're forgetting how much you have gained in such a short time. It's a miracle that you were able to get to the Manifestation Realm of Sword Intent, much less be able to comprehend a whole new Sword Intent and integrate it with your existing Sword Intent.]
Ye Tian Yun shrugged his shoulders, 'I don't like to brag, but I am just too good for this world.'

He then lowered his gaze and stared at his sword, 'Let's practice for some more time.'
However, just as he held his sword, an idea dawned upon him as a big smile appeared on his face.
He raised his head and stared straight at the wall in front of him.
'System, what do you think about my new Sword Domain's power? It is enough to break that wall?'
[Yes, Host, breaking that wall shouldn't be very hard. But it will repair itself and become even sturdier, so you won't be able to have much time to know what's behind the wall.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, 'Is there any way of delaying that wall repair?'
[There's no way because the array is on the other side of the wall, you will need to pass through this wall before you have the ability to control this array.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded once again with a frown as he began to think of any possible way to keep that wall open for enough time for him to pass through it.
Suddenly an idea popped into his mind, making his eyes wide open.
'System, what if I attack first with enough power to just break the wall and attack once again with a little more power? Will that delay the array?'
[Theoretically, this should be the case. However, from a practical point of view, it's almost impossible.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, 'Yeah, it will be quite hard. There are just too many variables in this method.
'The first problem will be to find the exact power in the attack, which will be just enough to break the wall. The second would be to attack with more power than the first one, but the gap shouldn't be too much. And the third would be time; if I get delayed by a single instance, everything will go to waste.'
[Host, this way might work, but as you said, the problems that you face are too hard to solve. You should think of another way.]
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, 'I can't see any other way out of this situation.'
He was very interested in seeing what was actually behind the wall; he wanted to know the source of the light.�
He had a guess, but he just didn't wish to believe it because the answer in his mind was just too precious to be left open like this.
'System, can you help me calculate how much power would be enough for me to break the wall on my first try? And we mustn't forget that we need to attack continuously on the wall and keep on increasing the power on every attack.'
'That would mean there should be a considerable power gap between my first attack and the final attack. This will also be hard to manage.'
'Also, I will start closer from the wall, so I can take a step ahead every time I put in an attack, and then attack once more, then take one more step, and continue to repeat this process.'
'So, first of all, I need to know how much power I need.'
[Host, calculating the power you need isn't very hard, you only need to start from low-level attacks and slowly increase the power in your attacks, and soon you will get to the point where one hit will break the wall. After that, you just need to continue the same thing. The only difference would be that you will be taking one step closer to the wall every time you attack.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, 'Well, this solves problem number one. The other one is, how� to have the maximum possible� gap between my first attack and my maximum power attack?'
'Because we don't know how much power we will need to break the wall, what if my first attack needs power almost as much as my maximum current strength? What should I do after that?'
