Chapter 206: What Just Happened?

'What is it that makes everyone want to get to the peak of the cultivation realm?'

[Host, the question you have asked has a pretty vague answer. Every cultivator has a motive. Just like how your motive is to annihilate God's Legion, all the cultivators would have a goal to achieve.]

[Some have their childhood sweetheart taken away, some want to get back to their family which abandoned them, some do it for revenge to destroy the supreme powers of the Multiverse, some do it just for universe domination.]

'What about after they achieve their goal? - scratch that - my main question is, What about me once I reach my goal? What if, by the luck of my last eighteen generations, I succeed in killing Wang Yao? What will I do after that? Won't I succeed in finishing my motive?'

'After all, Wang Yao is the only opponent who can stop me from getting to the Throne. Me killing him would also mean I will get the Throne. Once getting the Throne, what will be the motive?'

[Host, don't you want to conquer the heavens and rule the universe?]

'Bah! This is bullshit. I am thinking of roaming the world in disguise once I get my revenge. Wouldn't that be pretty cool?'

'I would love to disguise myself and open a restaurant to become a hidden bigshot. This will be much cooler than becoming a Heavenly Emperor.'

[...]

'What? No need to prompt me with your speechlessness. I am not kidding, I don't want to rinse and repeat my life. I will get my goal and live a leisurely life.'

[Host, it's better to leave this to the future and focus more on the current situation.]

'I know- I know, I am not a delusional kid, I understand what my priorities are, don't worry about that.'

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun stared at his sword, 'System, since you said that there's a good chance that I might be able to have even more Sword Intents, but I have a simple question to ask, and it's been bugging me for quite some time now. Why is it that I didn't lose control in the last stages at all? In fact, everything went too smoothly and too fast; it's still hard to believe that I succeeded in comprehending the new Sword Domain and can even control it without fainting on the spot.'

[Host, there's not a real answer to this. System can only speculate about this, and the only conclusion it can have is the unknown part of your power - the Natureless Sword Intent]

'I guessed this too but was hoping if you could have any answer. By the way, didn't you once say you will be able to answer anything with Fate Points?'

[Host, the questions you ask… usually need so many Fate Points that even the System is embarrassed to put a prompt.]

'Uh… what can I do? I am dirt poor in this part,' Ye Tian Yun shrugged while turning his head the other way.

'Anyways, do you have anything which can help me in integrating these Sword Intents? I have no idea how to do that…'

[System doesn't have any idea either.]

'Uh…' Ye Tian Yun gave a blank stare, 'Then how are we supposed to integrate these Sword Domains? And don't you tell me to do a hit and trial method, we can't take the risk of releasing the other Sword Intent; it's too risky.'

[Host, you can try forming a Lightning Sword Domain first and then slowly release your other Sword Intent and try integrating them?]

'Did anyone ever do this before?'

[No]

'...' 

[You will be the first.]

'Alright, someone has to become a man and do it. Let it be me then.'

[...]

Ye Tian Yun let out a long breath and got into a fighting stance.

In the next instant, lighting covered his sword, as the Sword Domain had already spread throughout the hall.

Ye Tian Yun performed some sword moves and waited for his Sword Intent to get into the flow.

After a few moments, he suddenly shouted, 'Now!'

An erupting force spread throughout Ye Tian Yun's body as the lightning around him suddenly went, poof!

Ye Tian Yun didn't even have the time to pay attention to this as he staggered and fell on one knee.

An intense pain wrapped his body while he felt as if he might explode any minute now.

Suddenly, his eyes started to feel heavy, and his body became lighter.

He was fainting!

Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth and punched the ground with all the force to return to his senses.

However, it wasn't much of a help as his punch became too light before it could even touch the ground.

In the next instant, Ye Tian Yun fell with his chest on the ground.

His headache increased, his eyes felt heavier, making him feel like he was about to reach the limit.

'Damn, I can't faint,' Ye Tian Yun was giving his all to keep his eyes open.

But every passing instant felt like hours; he didn't know how long he could hold on against the intense pain.

His arms were too weak to get him up; his chest was too weak to make him turn. 

His whole body was too light for him even to move an inch.

But just then, it felt as if an electric current passed through his body, reviving him.

Next thing Ye Tian Yun knew, he was standing on his feet, with no weakness whatsoever.

Frowning, he asked, 'System, what just happened? One instant, I couldn't even move, and in the next, I found myself standing energized more than ever. What in the world happened just now?'

[Host, it looks like there's been some change in your Sword Intent. System can't tell if it's a good thing or bad because it is hard to judge.]
