Sword intent.
It is something both ethereal and intangible, yet truly exists beneath the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
It has no form—like it lacks a vessel to inhabit.
There is only the feeling of sharpness, but it cannot wound anyone.
Having form without intention,
is like an ordinary longsword without an edge—unable to harm.
Now.
Within the statue of the Starfall Sword Emperor, the sword intent that Ye Qiubai senses is precisely this form-without-intention.
This sword intent is forged from the power of the stars.
It feels immensely heavy!
And yet, it does not lose any of its edge.
But, without a vessel to carry it, its true might cannot be unleashed.
The sword intent sensed by everyone from the Starfall Sword Ancestor Sect,
if comprehended, must be merged with one's own existing sword intent to be manifested.
Though it can be used,
ultimately, it never reaches the heights of the Starfall Sword Emperor.
