But Sha Chen was right. The Treasured Lotus Lantern could not be activated by anyone whose heart was not pure, let alone someone who did not know the special incantation. In all the world, aside from Nuwa, only she knew the incantation. Even her Second Brother had not been told. Sha Chen could not and dared not know. If he knew, then Nuwa would come knocking at his door.
The Treasured Lotus Lantern was unlike other magical tools—it was a sacred object. If a common immortal weapon fell into Sha Chen's hands, there might be an explanation. If the Treasured Lotus Lantern fell into Sha Chen's hands, it would be considered stolen.
Sha Chen wasn't particularly interested in the Treasured Lotus Lantern, but he was considering using the Three Holy Mother as free labor.Or perhaps just borrowing her.
