Chapter 204 - Lightning Sword Domain (Final)
Ye Tian Yun knew that he was on the very last step of getting to the Lightning Sword Intent.
How was he so sure? Well, it was an instinctive feeling.
He had been practicing for days now, and it was at this moment that Ye Tian Yiun felt that he was just one step away from getting the Lightning Sword Domain.
Ye Tian Yun began to resume practicing his sword moves without wasting any time and once again focused on his Sword Intent.
This time he didn't wait to get into the flow and released his Sword Intent from the get-go.
Just as he was expecting, the Sword Domain formed without any big issue.
Ye Tian Yun was quite satisfied with this surprise. He was able to have control over his new lightning domain in just a second try.
Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, Ye Tian Yun thought of trying it once again.
Getting into a fighting stance, Ye Tian Yun released his Sword Intent once again, and the lightning domain appeared very smoothly.
Ye Tian Yun tried a few more times so that he could remove the slightest doubt in himself and increase his confidence.
Fortunately for him, not a single problem or inconsistency appeared, and he was easily able to create the lightning domain.
At this stage, he had completed two of the three stages to getting the Lightning Sword Domain.
The first one was changing the white screen dome into a lightning domain.
The second was to control the lightning domain at his will and create it whenever he wanted.
Now came the final stage - he needed to convert this lightning domain into a genuine Lightning Sword Domain.
To understand in simple words, one first needs to understand the difference between the current lightning domain that Ye Tian Yun had and a genuine Lightning Sword Domain.
The basic difference is that a Sword Domain is something that is not visible to one's eyes!
Unlike the current lightning domain, one can't see a genuine Sword Domain. It's invisible to the eyes. Cultivators can only sense it, even if they have considerable comprehension of Sword Intent by themselves.
The other difference is that a cultivator can 'use' the nature of the Sword Domain in offense, while in a normal domain, like the lightning domain that Ye Tian Yun currently had, one can't use it to add any offensive power.
Within a Sword Domain, one will have absolute control over the type of nature that domain belongs to, with or without the presence of a sword.
These basic differences are the ones that separate a genuine Sword Domain from a normal domain.
The lightning domain that Ye Tian Yun currently had was more like an unfinished product.
What Ye Tian Yun needed to do right now was to focus on perfecting his lightning domain and convert it into a genuine Sword Domain.
The first thing he needed to do was make his lightning domain invisible.
How was he going to do this?
The most common approach is to use the sword in his hand and concentrate all the Intent 'on' the sword after creating the lightning domain.
This approach is quite simple and easy to perform. The only thing that Ye Tian Yun needed to take care of was not to trip and lose focus.
With this in mind, Ye Tian Yun subconsciously nodded his head and prepared himself for the next step.
A few moments later, Ye Tian Yun was standing in a fighting stance, ready to make his moves, and in the next breath, he moved his sword.
Within an instant, the lightning domain appeared, and as soon as it appeared, Ye Tan Yun used all his focus into concentrating the domain on the tip of his sword.
Suddenly he felt a shock through his body when the lightning struck his sword.
In the next moment, Ye Tian Yun was thrown away from his position and directly hit the wall behind him.
'Ugh..'
Gritting his teeth, Ye Tian Yun stood up and looked at the place where he was standing a moment ago.
The place was currently charcoal black and the sword that was in his head was lying on the ground, broken into pieces.
Letting out a long breath, Ye Tian Yun geared himself up once again and took out another sword from his spatial ring.
Without any more delays, he once again created a lightning domain and tried to concentrate it on the tip of his sword.
This time, however, with the wall just behind his back, Ye Tian Yun was able to withstand a lot of force and successfully 'trapped' the lighting in his sword.
'Trapped' because the lighting around him had disappeared all of a sudden, however, Ye Tian Yun could still 'feel' the presence of his Lighting Domain!
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh of relief at his own success.
Just like the previous time, the first thing Ye Tian Yun did was to try once again.
And to his surprise, the lighting domain did appear; however, this time, he couldn't see it, only felt its presence.
The best part about this domain was that unlike the earlier state of the white dome, which continued to expand non-stop, but for this one, Ye Tian Yun was able to control the size, thus allowing him to assess his own situation properly.
Now that the domain was transparent, the last thing Ye Tian Yun needed to do was to 'create' lighting within the domain.
For that, Ye Tian Yun had to concentrate on his sword and focus on the Sword Intent on its tip.
As ridiculous as it may sound, this was one of the easier and foolproof methods to pass this stage.
And so, Ye Tian Yun once again stood up properly and held out his sword.
This time he didn't take any fighting stance as his only focus was on the tip of his sword.
The next thing he knew, there was a huge thunderbolt striking the ground nearby him!
Witnessing this, Ye Tian Yun smirked as he had finally achieved his first goal!
'Ah, this is the feeling I have missed so much. The feeling of Lightning Sword Domain!'
