After a series of experiments, Chen Lin confirmed that he could activate the Karmic Ring Blade, but only by putting on the Qi Luck Gloves and using qi luck force.
Other powers, such as mana, spiritual sense, and Buddhist power, did not work.
When he drew fully upon the silver points of light within his soul force, he could barely elicit a response, but he still could not activate it.
This meant that using the blade required energy of a higher order than normal. His soul force could make it respond but could not activate it because it had yet to complete its advancement.
Once he put on the Qi Luck Gloves, however, he consumed the qi luck force generated by his own talent ability. His talent ability could even alter rules, so there was no question about the level of the qi luck force it produced.
But that meant his talent ability would probably drop a level again if he used the blade.
Still, whatever the consequences, being able to use it was enough.
Somewhat reassured, Chen Lin carefully put the ring blade away.
The blade could only be used once, so he did not dare test what would happen when it was fully activated. He would have to wait until he needed it.
As for when he would need it, he had no idea, though he suspected it would still have something to do with the Demon-Suppressing Temple.
With that in mind, he sealed every item related to the Demon-Suppressing Temple in its own specially made box and placed them in a separate Storage Bag.
He took particular care with Nian Kong's Kashaya, spending a hefty sum on a High-Grade Sealing Talisman and having a Formation Grandmaster from the Qingyang Sect inscribe a Sealing Formation on its box
