Ye Tian Yun knew that he didn't have much time; every day, every hour, every minute, every second was important to him.

He had many things that he needed answers to. He had many enemies that he needed to kill. He had so many goals that he needed to accomplish.

And all these became his motivation to continue and strive hard. Push himself every passing instant and aim for his goal.

His hard work and concentration slowly began to pay back as the spark noises began to be so frequent that now they seemed to be consistent.

The continuous zip zap sound also turned into a hidden push from behind, a much-needed push for Ye Tian Yun to continue with the sword moves.

After an unknown amount of time since he had heard the first zap, Ye Tian Yun felt he was closer to his goal than ever as the noise and the bright flashes began to increase in frequency and intensity.

Ye Tian Yun wanted to give himself a final push and get to his goal.

And what was this final push?

The sudden prompt from the System!

[Host, switch your comb with a Sword right now!]

The System's voice was very clear in Ye Tian Yun's ears even after the booming noise from the sparks around him.

Ye Tian Yun didn't hesitate, and within the next instant, the comb in his hand 'turned' into a sword!

Well, the comb didn't really transform into a sword. It was more of a very fast switch. His fingers were in direct contact with the comb, while on his index finger, was the spatial ring.

Thus, as soon as Ye Tian Yun heard the system's prompt, he instinctively put the comb into the spatial ring and a sword appeared at its place.

All this happened so quickly that it made it seemed like the comb had transformed into a sword!

Ye Tian Yun didn't dare to waste any time and continued with his sword moves, faster with every passing instant.

One thing that was quite surprising was the fact that the sparks around him actually increased even more after the switch instead of decreasing.

If he can make these sparks appear at the same time, it will eventually create a dome shaped structure around him. 

Even though this dome was just a few meters in diameter, this was exactly what Ye Tian Yun was aiming for.

As long as he succeeded in making a constant lightning dome, he could expand it even more and make it much more integrated with his sword; thus, forming a Lightning Sword Domain!

Ye Tian Yun knew that he was very close to this goal. Thus, he decided to expand the types of moves he was performing, from the basic techniques to other techniques that he had learned since childhood.

Even though the One Sword For All sword technique was the only sword technique that Ye Tian Yun used, it didn't mean that he hadn't learned other sword moves.

In fact, to learn this legendary technique, Ye Tian Yun had to practice quite a lot of other sword techniques to make his sword moves faster and sharper.

With the increased amount of sword moves, Ye Tian Yun was now moving a lot in the hall, and surprisingly, the dimmed dome around him was also following his movement, always covering him.

Just as he had finished one of the moves that he learned from the Imperial Library, Ye Tian Yun suddenly felt a crackling sensation throughout his body.

As he tried to balance himself, a screen suddenly appeared in front of him, and before he could process what had just happened, the screen suddenly moved!

The white screen was blinking with different shades of lights and it was moving away from Ye Tian Yun!

He moved his head to see the other sides, however, as expected, the white screen was present at all sides and was moving away from him!

This meant this was not actually a screen, but more of a dome! And this dome was moving away from him, expanding at every instant!

Ye Tian Yun suddenly felt a surging powerful feeling through his meridians as the dome kept on expanding with him at the center.

After a few seconds, the dome hit the wall just behind Ye Tian Yun, which was also the closest of all the others. A portion of the dome disappeared as if it was absorbed by the wall.

Then, as the border of the dome kept coming in touch with the dome, it disappeared every time, as if the disappeared portion had not gone out of the hall.

Finally, after a few minutes, the dome was gone from all sides, except the top.

Ye Tian Yun raised his head and looked at the ceiling, only finding it made of a white-silver screen and rising in height with every passing moment.

It was easy to notice that this dome had gone out of the hall and was only visible on the ceiling because the top of this dome was yet to cross it.

Finally, as expected, the dome suddenly disappeared and the ceiling returned back to normal.

Not only the ceiling, but the whole hall returned to normal. 

Ye Tian Yun put his hands on his knees as he bent down slightly while panting heavily.

He had lost track of time since he started practicing his sword moves and was currently very tired.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun plopped on the ground and laid down flat.

He was too fatigued to even move anymore, continued practicing and the strange phenomenons had taken a good toll on his body.

Maybe if he had a bit higher cultivation, things would have been easier, but right now, Ye Tian Yun was too tired to even think about anything.

It took a while for his breathing to return to normal as he raised his torso and slowly stood up on his feet.

Pursing his lips, he began to practice once more, but this time, he released his Sword Intent at a very slow rate.

And after a few minutes, when he almost reached his peak, Ye Tian Yun suddenly felt that his body became 'relaxed' and his surroundings became 'spacious'.

*clackle*

*zip*

*boom*

*zing*

Different sounds entered his ears as the bright flash once again appeared in front of him.

This time too, it was a dome and it continued to expand and was soon out of the dome.

And just like the last time, Ye Tian Yun lost the 'connection' with this dome. 

'System, is this what I am thinking it is?'

[Indeed, Host. This dome is a basic skeleton of Lightning Sword DOmain. YOu're pretty close to achieving this domain.]

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head. He was finally close to achieving one of the most difficult goals for any other cultivator.

'System, what should be the next step? Should I fully develop this domain? Or should we now try to integrate it with my other domain?'

[Host, there's no need to hurry about anything, you should strengthen this domain as much as possible, this would help you a lot to balance out the other domain. After all, the Killing Sword Domain is too strong, it might overwhelm your existing domain and all the hard work upto this point will go to waste if this were to happen.]

Ye Tian Yun agreed, 'Well this is true, I should first focus on increasing the intensity of my Lightning Sword Domain, and then we will focus on integrating both sword domains.'

He wasn't worried about perfecting his new Sword Domain, because now, this was the easy part for him.

After all, he had spent a lot of his teenage years in his previous life perfecting the Sword Domain.

The only thing that was making a hindrance was the fact that it wasn't easy to get the Lightning Sword Domain, but now that this problem is resolved, all he needed to do was focus on improving his Sword Domain, and making it as stable as possible.

But before starting anything, Ye Tian Yun had an important question in his mind.

Pursing his lips, he asked, 'System, even though I have got the lightning Sword Domain, what if I end up losing control over this Sword DOmain too? Won't this also make all the hard work go to waste?'

[Host, this most probably won't happen. It's because what you currently have is a raw Sword Domain, you can improve it at your own pace, as for the other Sword Domain, it's System granted, even though it's now a part of your prowess, it didn't come to you by grinding and working hard with your sword.]

'Hm? Aren't you saying things a bit… controversial? By your words, you are trying to say that System granted things won't be as strong if I achieve them through my hard work? Doesn't that mean that the cultivation realm increased due to kill points… could have given me a lot more power if I had increased my cultivation through patience and hard work, just like other cultivators?'

'I mean, aren't you saying that I am weaker than the cultivators with the same cultivation as mine, because my power is from you, the System, and their power is through hard work?'

'If this is true… doesn't that mean that I am digging my own grave?'

...

A/n: The training arc will soon come to an end. I hope you don't mind a bit of info dump here and there, it's mostly so I can remove big plot holes. Especially the one that Ye Tian Yun just asked.
