After returning to the base, Luo Tian carefully examined the broken sword in the secret chamber.
"Is there anything special about this broken sword?" Luo Tian asked inwardly.
"The broken sword is sealed. A martial skill is hidden in the space inside its blade!"
"I'll help you unseal it."
Hum!
A blue light flashed across the blade.
"All done. Send your divine sense inside, and you'll be able to see it!"
"Oh, all right!"
Once he entered, he discovered a yellowed parchment scroll inside.
He opened it and read:
[Azure Lotus Sword Art] Lower earth-grade martial skill
The sword art had been created by a sword grandmaster in ancient times.
Its power was boundless, but its extreme difficulty meant few had shown interest in cultivating it.
"An earth-grade martial skill?"
I've really struck gold this time! Excitement stirred in Luo Tian's heart for a while.
Luo Tian quickly sat cross-legged and studied the [Azure Lotus Sword Art] with undivided attention.
The sword art consisted of four moves, each containing endless mysteries and variations.
"The first move-Azure Lotus Stands Alone."
It was an offensive move in which the sword tip bloomed instantly like a lotus, making it impossible to guard against.
Luo Tian stood up, holding a longsword.
He practiced the move over and over.
He continued until he could make the sword tip shift into various forms at will.
The second move was "One Lotus Withers and Passes."
"Its focus is on using the sword tip as a guide to condense Spiritual Qi into a sharp streak of Sword Qi, instantly destroying the enemy's defenses."
Luo Tian continued seeking understanding as he swung his sword, gradually grasping the essence of the move.
The third move-Infinite Lotus Rings.
It transformed Sword Qi into countless tiny sword shadows that circled Luo Tian like lotus flowers, forming an indestructible ring of defense.
"He spent several days comprehending this move before he learned its subtleties."
The fourth move was "Ten Thousand Lotuses on One Stalk."
It was the ultimate killing move of the [Azure Lotus Sword Art].
Luo Tian focused his mind and gathered his Qi, concentrating all the Spiritual Qi in his body at the sword tip before swinging it fiercely.
"Dazzling streaks of sword light instantly tore through space, transforming into ten thousand lotus flowers that bloomed in every direction."
Once this move was unleashed, life met its end!
Several more days passed as he immersed himself in cultivating the sword art.
Without realizing it, his strength in the sword Dao steadily improved.
Through his cultivation, he also comprehended traces of sword intent.
Inside the secret chamber, Sword Qi danced, and streaks of sword light interwove like a great enveloping net.
Deep furrows scored by Sword Qi crisscrossed the hard walls.
Looking at the marks on the walls, Luo Tian shook his head. This place is too small. I can't unleash the true power of these sword moves at all.
The [Spirit-Devouring Great Art] paired with the [Azure Lotus Sword Art] in battle should be even more powerful!
The capital, the heart of this dynasty.
Just wait!
System, show my attributes:

I'll use the Silver Summoning Card first and see who I get this time.
Use the Silver Summoning Card!
"Ding! Congratulations, successfully used!"
A powerful, sharp presence slowly emerged from space!
He wore fitted black clothes, his expression stern and his eyes cold and merciless, as though he were a born killer.
Summoning successful: Han Tang [From Meteor, Butterfly, Sword] Cultivation: Peak Yin-Yang Realm
"Greetings, my lord!" Han Tang stepped forward and bowed.
"Mm, no need for formalities!" Luo Tian waved his hand.
"Han Tang, I appoint you as an elder of the [Shadow Pavilion]."
"You'll handle anything the others can't deal with!"
"The rest of the time, cultivate here in the pavilion!"
"Mm, go familiarize yourself with the surroundings first!"
"Yes, my lord."
Han Tang turned and left the secret chamber.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Luo Tian emerged from the secret chamber!
The check-in rewards over these days had also been varied.
