As the broken sword contained an extremely mysterious profoundness, it made it very difficult for Yi Yun to power it. And the second reason was that Yi Yun did not want others to discover his broken sword, or it might put his life in peril.
However this time, with the broken sword in hand, Yi Yun could feel that he had a faint blood and Qi connection to the broken sword. This seemed to be a change ever since he gained some insight in the azure-clothed swordsman’s sword intent.
This made Yi Yun overjoyed. Now, he had to rely on the sword!
With the broken sword in hand, Yi Yun did not have time to contemplate. With the sword, he slashed at the boulder.
Cha!
With a crisp sound, Yi Yun’s broken sword slashed through without any resistance!
Using more strength, Yi Yun slashed a deep cut through the extremely hard, glazed black boulder.
Yi Yun was overjoyed as he slashed with one sword attack after another. Big chunks of the black boulder was slashed apart!
At the same time, Yi Yun opened his energy vision and made sure to see the red lotus in its entirety, including the parts underneath the boulder, so he didn’t cut through its roots.
Finally, Yi Yun’s final slash removed a huge chunk of black rock and he saw a lotus rhizome hidden beneath the boulder. It was the red lotus’ root!
It’s done!
After all the effort, where he kited the large turtle and risked his life to enter the birds’ nest to extract the lotus seeds. And then making a desperate attempt to dive into the lava lake to pluck the red lotus, finally, all the treasures were now in his hands!
