A sizzling sensation spread throughout Ye Tian Yun's body as he tried to control his actions.
The sword suddenly fell from his hands as he tried to balance himself due to the sudden sensational feeling.
It was as if there were thousands of needles passing through his skin, but weirdly it felt alright.
Calming himself, Ye Tian Yun picked up his sword again and continued without wasting any time.
He knew that the sudden loss of flow due to the abrupt sensation had, in fact, put him one step backward.
Without thinking more about the situation, Ye Tian Yun resumed practicing his sword moves.
This time, he was not going to lose his balance and disrupt his focus if he were to feel the sensation once again.
And this was what happened; after a few minutes, the sudden sizzling sensation returned once again. From the tip of his hair to his toes, Ye Tian Yun began to shake as if he had a sudden seizure.
However, he forced himself to remain in balance and continue to practice his sword moves.
Thanks to his efforts, the euphoric feeling of a breakthrough once again passed over his body.
With a wide smile on his face, he made a few final moves of the sword technique and came to a halt.
Ye Tian Yun had broken through the Sword Attainment Realm of the Sword intent.
If this were known to anyone outside, it would most probably shock them to death!
After all, within a few hours, Ye Tian Yun had not only comprehended the fabled Sword Intent, but he had also successfully reached its second stage!
In just about five hours, Ye Tian Yun had accomplished something that an ordinary cultivator might take more than one lifetime to reach.
After a few minutes, as his breathing calmed down a bit, Ye Tian Yun took the sword in his hand and once again began making sword moves.
He wanted to see the nature of his Sword Intent and understand his new situation.
However, the proud expression over his face didn't last long as he suddenly felt something weird.
No, to be more exact, he wasn't sensing it!
He wasn't able to sense the nature of his Sword Intent!
Without thinking anything, ye Tian Yuj began to perform his sword once again and tried to do it as fast as he could.
He tried to regain his Sword Attainment Realm and sense the nature of his Sword Intent once again, however, it all came to a naught, as even though he felt the new level of Sword Intent, he wasn't able to sense its nature.
This confused him a lot, he wasn't as panicked as he should have been. With a level-headed mind, he tried once again to release his Sword Intent.
This time too, he felt the new level of power of the Sword Intent after breaking through the Sword Domain, but he didn't find the answer to what he was looking for.
Taking a deep breath, he tried again, this time too, there were no results.
After many more tries, and releasing Sword Intent in different ways, slow, fast, instant, in parts, there was no answer to the question he was looking for.
What was the nature of his new Sword Intent?
Was it one of the general Sword Intents? Like Water, Fire, Earth, or Air?
Or was it a rare type? Killing, Time, Chaos, Blood?
Ye Tian Yun had no answer to their questions, nor did he have any way of finding the answers on his own.
Thus, he turned to the only thing that could answer these questions. Most Probably.
'System, do you know the reason as to why I can't sense my Sword Intent?'
Ye TianYun waited for some time, however, he didn't get any response from the system.
'System? You there?'
[Host, System is trying to understand the situation, please hold on for a few more minutes]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and began to think of various possibilities on his own.
'What if there's actually no nature of the Sword Intent that I have unlocked? But that would be absurd, how could that even be useful?'
'What if my Sword Intent's nature is so good that it needs a higher level of Intern's realm for me to be able to use it?'
Ye Tian Yun shook his head as he thought of various possibilities, but he couldn't get a definitive answer which could make him nod and say that yes, this could be one of the possibilities.
After a while, he heard the mechanical voice that he was waiting for.
[Host, System has looked through the situation and has come to a very definitive answer.]
'Oh? Do tell, and don't you ask me for any Kill Points or Fate Points!'
[Host, System won't ask for anything, in fact, it can't ask you anything about it regarding things related to your own cultivation.'
Ye Tian Yun nodded and said, "Well, leave this aside and tell me, why can't I sense the nature of my Sword Intent? It's just too weird. What's your definitive answer?'
[Host, System has come to a conclusion that it doesn't know the answer to your question.]
'What?' Ye Tian Yun was confused by this response, 'What do you mean you don't know? Aren't you an all-knowing being? Did the problem that I am facing never happen with anyone else?'
[Unfortunately Host, this is the first time it has ever happened. There has never been any case, in any era or any universe, where there wasn't nature or trait of the Sword Intent that a cultivator releases.]
Ye Tian Yun frowned, 'So, you're basically saying that what I am facing has no solution? Did I receive a natureless Sword Intent? But how is that possible? And the most important question, how will that help me in my battle? With no nature, I won't be able to know how I will be able to make use of Sword Intent in my fights.'
