    Ye Tian Yun stared at the virtual screen which appeared in front of him. He had profited an increment of about two thousand kill points from the Inner Court Entrance Hunt. And he was yet to collect his reward from the side quest prompt he got when he was entering the Inner Court.


    Without hesitation, he asked the system for the Quest rewards, ''System, show me the rewards of the quest which I havepleted."


    [Congrattions, Host. You havepleted a side quest: Enter the Inner Court of the Gracious Sword Sect.]


    [Reward: 4000 Kill Points]


    [Congrattions, Host. You havepleted a side quest: Be number one disciple in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt.]


    [Reward: 6000 Kill Points]


    [Kill Points: 19347/20000]


    ''Ah, another questpleted?'' Ye Tian Yun was surprised to see the prompt of another quest that the system didn''t say about anything earlier.


    [The prompts are given as soon as the hostpletes the quest.]


    "As soon as Iplete the quest? Didn''t I rank first in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt yesterday? Then why didn''t I receive this prompt at that time?"


    [The Gracious Sword Sect did not acknowledge the host as the first ranked disciple.]


    "What is that supposed to mean? It was the elders who gave out the results; what you''re saying is not making any sense."


    [The prompts are given as soon as the hostpletes the quest.]


    "Dude, for real?"


    [Host will know in theing future why the prompt waste.]


    "Nevermind, I have no issues with thete prompt; I am not facing any loss here, but was just curious about thete prompt." Ye Tian Yun shrugged as he continued, "Anyways, with these ten thousand more kill points, I should be able to upgrade my techniques."


    ''System, how much do I need to upgrade my one Sword For All skill?"


    [One Sword For All] (Middle Phase)


    [One Sword resonates in the Heavens. One Sword to devour the Heavens. One Sword to create the realms. One Sword to ascend. One Sword For All.]


    [Requires 10000 Kill Points to level up to the Late Phase.]


    [Unlocks Sword Domain Realm of Sword Intent after upgrading this skill to Late Phase]


    "What? Sword Intent?" Ye Tian Yun was shocked to see what system had just disyed in front of him.


    Sword Intent is somewhat simr to killing intent. A dangerous aura emitted from a sword or a swordsman which causes others to feel as if they''re about to be cut by a sword. However, Sword Intent is no less than a legend even in the Middle Heavens, let alone in the Lower Heavens, where anyone with a littleprehension of sword intent is hailed as a supreme genius and considered a future Sword Saint.


    Sword Intent is a sword artist''s main and most desirable skill. Only a few people canprehend sword intent. In early cultivation Realms, the Sword Intent is feared for its offensive capabilitypared to its rivaling intents. This advantage in brutal offensive power decreases as one advances in cultivation and can be equaled by other paths in theter stages.


    Sword Intent is divided into four different levels, with the first being the Manifestation Realm of Sword Intent. It is the first step ofprehension of sword intent by a cultivator, and the sooner one reaches these steps, the more time they have toprehend the attainment.


    After the Manifestation Realmes the Attainment Realm. This is the real doorway toprehending the Sword Intent. When one reaches this stage, they can control their sword at will, even from hundreds of miles. This gives a huge advantage when ites to assassinations and long-distance battles. However, this realm is the weirdest of all because not all cultivators have the same strength. Everything depends on the cultivator''sprehension, which dictates how far away and how easily they can control their sword.


    When Ye Tian Yun reached this realm in his previous life, he was able to control his sword in a radius of one hundred miles, making him a huge threat to his enemies. Though not the best in history, his control was enough for him to assassinate his enemies.


    Above the Attainment Realm is the Sword Domain. This is the realm where the cultivator has absolute control over all the swords in a certain range, termed Sword Domain. Since the sword is the mostmon and widely used weapon in the cultivation world, when a cultivator reaches the sword domain realm, he can ignore the cultivation realm differences and challenge apex cultivators. This was also the same realm in which Ye Tian Yun had reached before his final battle on the Hundred Realm Refining Stage.


    Though this level ofprehension didn''te much use to him since even his enemies hadprehended the Sword Domain, and one of them was even more powerful than him in terms of sword cultivation.


    Beyond the Sword Domain Realm is the fabled Sword Soul. It is publicly acknowledged as the peak of sword cultivation, and whoever reaches this realm will be able to ignore the shackles of the cultivation realms and challenge Heaven''s will.


    However, no known cultivator of the current era has reached this realm. Even the Heavenly Kings of the Middle Heavens who once held and controlled the legendary Emblems are no exception. In fact, it was rumored that the Heavenly Kings actually stop cultivating Sword Intent once they reach the Sword Domain Realm because if they breakthrough, they will have Heaven''s Will as their mortal enemy. And without the Heavenly Throne and Emblem of Authority, going against Heaven''s Will was no different from asking for a brutal death, even for the Heavenly Kings.


    Ye Tian sighed as his thoughts returned to the screen in front of him. Without wasting any more time, he called out, ''System, upgrade my sword skill to the Late Phase.''
