Unexpected Joy, Black Vajra Pestle

But my master and I did not explain too much.

Instead, I asked Daoist Qingshan:

"Senior Qingshan, does this Three Powers Seal restrain the entire Black Lotus Curse Mark?"

Daoist Qingshan nodded.

"Yes. With your current cultivation, you still cannot control or suppress this curse mark. Its icy yin power will backlash against you, just as you experienced earlier.

"If you want to use this Black Lotus Curse Mark for yourself,

"then your cultivation must improve further.

"As for the method of breaking the seal, this humble Daoist can teach it to you."

"Thank you, Senior Qingshan."

I spoke happily.

I was so excited that even though I was weak, I felt energized.

Daoist Qingshan nodded slightly, then continued:

"Now that you bear this Black Lotus Curse Mark,

"even though it has been sealed by the Three Powers Seal,

"you should still be able to wield these evil artifacts. However, with the Black Lotus Curse Mark sealed, you may not be able to unleash the effects of these evil artifacts."

Hearing that, I turned my gaze to the Black Vajra Pestle lying on the ground.

The vajra pestle was around thirty centimeters long. It was entirely black, with a three-sided pointed tip and a black lotus at its tail end, covered in densely packed Tantric Sanskrit characters.

It looked exquisitely crafted, but rather sinister.

"Master, Senior, I'll go touch that vajra pestle."

Master gave a grunt.

"Go ahead! I'll watch!"

Senior Qingshan also nodded slightly.

I stared at the vajra pestle and took a deep breath.

Then I slowly walked over to it and crouched down to pick it up.

I was still nervous. The torment I had felt in that mental illusion earlier had truly been unbearable.

I moved cautiously, while everyone widened their eyes.
