Of course, there was still hope, as long as Xin Yun was willing to make a ruthless move and let Ming Xuan fall into a life-or-death situation. In such a case, he was likely to suddenly break through and successfully "blossom." However, if it really came to that and he was unsuccessful, it would mean certain death. Should the breakthrough fail to occur, Ming Xuan would indeed die. Considering Ming Xuan's current state, it was too dangerous, and Xin Yun dared not choose that path; it was undoubtedly tantamount to pulling up the seedlings to help them grow, an utterly foolish choice.
Since the first two paths were unfeasible, that left only the last remaining option. Anyone who has raised a hen knows that once you threaten her chicks, the hen puffs up her neck feathers and spreads her wings. It's similar to a peacock which, when translated to its behavior, would transform into a magnificent display of its tail feathers—a peacock's "blossoming"!
