After a moment's thought, Lu Xiaotian summoned the Misty Sword Embryo. It darted through the air, sending out wave after wave of sword intent. But soon, Lu Xiaotian discovered a new problem. He could control the general direction in which the sword intent from his embryo spread, but once released, it was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins—impossible to rein in.
It was much like how Lu Xiaotian had once used killing intent. The countless cultivators and demons that had fallen by his hand had left him with an incredibly dense killing aura. Yet when he released the killing intent within him, he could only direct it roughly. Once it was unleashed, it would gradually dissipate over distance and time.
Forming a domain and containing the sword intent within a certain area, where it could gather without dispersing, was an exceedingly profound art. Without sufficient cultivation or a powerful enough Primordial Spirit, one could not even reach its threshold. Forcing oneself to wield something beyond one's level was like the time Lu Xiaotian had accumulated too much killing intent inside his body, without the cultivation to dissolve it. Even the Demon-Suppressing Tower, a Buddhist artifact capable of subduing demons and evil spirits, had failed to suppress the killing intent completely. In the end, he had lost control and been seduced by Luo Ping'er. Fortunately, Luo Ping'er had been born with a bewitching physique; an ordinary woman could not have endured Lu Xiaotian's release while he was out of control.
An ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator would never have been able to refine seven Demon-Suppressing Towers at once. They would either have been blasted apart by that frenzied killing intent or gone mad, their consciousness sinking into darkness.
If a sword domain were so easy
