Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

[For a Sword Intent to reach the Sword Soul, it needs to have a nature. However, you might question that your Sword Domain already has a nature, on which your Sword Domain is based. However, the nature of the Sword Soul is a bit different.]

[In Sword Domains, the nature of the sword is usually based on elemental energies like earth, fire, air, water, lightning]

[For Sword Soul, it's more of an emotional nature like slaughter, destruction, devastation, comprehension]

[However, this doesn't mean that you need to get a whole new nature for your Sword Intent to reach the Sword Soul Realm, rather, the nature of Sword Soul is strongly based, directly or indirectly, on the nature of Sword Domain.]

[When one is able to comprehend the true meaning behind the nature of the Sword Domain, he can reach the first stage of Sword Soul.]

[A Sword Soul is divided into five major realms - Fusion, Embryo, Sapling, Peak, and Soul Realm.]

[It is said that upon reaching the final  realm, one can separate the Sword Soul from his body and create a clone of himself, which is equal in power and is fully under control.]

[However, experts who reached the final realm of the Sword Soul realm in the history of cultivation can be counted on one hand. Even I was only able to reach the Sword Sapling Realm after more than a thousand years of cultivation.]

[To the future genius who is reading this, remember not to lose your way in the Sword Cultivation. Focus and comprehension are the keys to creating the Sword Soul.]

[I wish you good luck, Sword Maniac Xiu Nu]

"Useless."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head and put the manual back on the shelf.

"This was also useless."

He had been on the Third Floor for about four hours now and had already read about sixteen experience manuals.

However, most of them only had the basic knowledge of the Sword Soul Realm. Not a single one mentioned how they reached the legendary realm.

'Were these people fakers?'

Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but doubt their credibility.

No one even talked about how they reached the Sword Soul realm. They only talked about what the Sword Soul realm was.

'Looks like I will have to really put this thing on hold.'

Ye Tian Yun was quite disappointed with the outcome of this trip.

'Well, I will have to find my own way of reaching the Sword Soul REalm.'

Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh and headed for the stairs.

He noticed that there was actually another stairway, and this one had a sign pointing downwards.

'I guess this one is to go back to the First Floor.'

Ye Tian Yun stepped on the stairway, and it began to move downwards.

'Hm?'

Just as Ye Tian Yun was passing through the Second Floor, he noticed someone at the end of that floor.

Without hesitation, Ye Tian Yun stepped out of the stairway and got on the Second Floor.

He stared at the young man who was sitting quietly in a corner.

'Spear….'

This young man was studying manuals related to spears.

'This guy must be Ye Tian Long.'

In his previous life, Ye Tian Yun had only met the latter twice, but that was about two to three years from now.

This was why Ye Tian Yun had to take a guess to identify the young Ye Tian Long.

He remembered that the latter was a genius in Spear Cultivation and had even reached the Attainment Realm of Spear Intent.

If one goes by the age, Ye Tian Long had reached the Attainment Realm before Ye Tian Yun!

However, because of the difference in resources, Ye Tian Yun was able to reach the Domain Realm before Ye Tian Long.

'And he also died before that. So I can't say I reached the Domain realm before him because of my talent.'

Talent in cultivation is different from talent in comprehension.

Ye Tian Yun had the best cultivation talent. However, his comprehension talent lacked quite a bit when compared to Ye Tian Long.

However, this wasn't known to many people, mainly because Ye Tian Long hid his powers.

'If it weren't for the Emblem Trial in the Immortal Pavilion, he wouldn't have been forced to use his full cultivation.'

At that time, Ye Tian Yun was in the Fifth Realm of the Core Formation Realm.

The second strongest was in the First Realm of Core Formation Realm.

However, when Ye Tian Long revealed his cultivation, he turned out to be a Fourth Realm Core Formation Realm expert!

Just one realm away from Ye Tian Yun!

Long before Ye Tian Yun fought with Shi Yan, Ye Tian Long was the first person from the same generation who made Ye Tian Yun feel wary.

As for Wang Yao? Ye Tian Yun never acknowledged him as a worthy opponent because he thoroughly suppressed the former even in the final battle. 

Only because of the interference from God's Legion did Ye Tian Yun lose his momentum and suffer a terrible defeat.

'I wonder what his cultivation realm is right now?'

Ye Tian Yun was curious.

He stepped forward and headed for the seat in front of Ye Tian Long.

'Hm?' Sensing someone approaching him, Ye Tian Long raised his head.

A handsome young man with starry eyes and sword-shaped eyebrows, a commanding aura, and dressed in Imperial clothes appeared and took a seat in front of him.

'This…'

Ye Tian Long immediately guessed the identity of the person in front of him.

Anger welled up in his heart, but he calmed himself down.

'This guy has done nothing wrong. Why should I waste my direct anger at him?'

He calmed himself down, and then smiling at Ye Tian Yun, he said, "Greetings, Crown Prince."

Ye Tian Yun squinted his eyes at him, "Good day, Cousin Long."

His attention was on the prompt above Ye Tian Long's head.

'Hm, the information I had on him was correct.'
