Even so, are you still going?

"Go, why wouldn't I go! You've already signed a contract with me, you're not thinking of backing out halfway through, are you!"

Qinglian: ...

She had no intention of backing down, but she was worried that Shen Jue might encounter misfortune in the Holy Land. If Shen Jue perished in the Holy Land, their core inheritance would not be able to be repaired.

If the core energy heritage cannot be purified, then their jellyfish race will also be infected with the virus, and they will be unable to go to the island. Master Zhi Jiu cannot leave the island either, and without purification and treatment, the only fate awaiting their race is extinction.

Of course, that's the worst-case scenario. What if Shen Jue comes out of the Holy Land alive and helps them purify the core of the inherited energy?

These are all uncertain things. Seeing that Shen Jue was determined to leave, Qing Lian stopped trying to persuade him.

Anyway, we're almost at the entrance to the holy site.

Afterwards, Qinglian led Chenjue through a forest of fluorescent corals and finally stopped in front of a huge trench.

A deep blue light shimmered in the depths of the trench, like countless stars flowing within it.

The edge of the trench is covered with gravel, and even the slightest movement will stir up dust.

Amidst the sand and dust, a faint golden light flowed, emitting a dim glow that appeared and disappeared intermittently.

"Below the trench lies a ruined plaza. Reaching the ruined plaza marks the entrance to the holy land."

Qinglian's voice carried a hint of awe, "Master Shen, I'll take you this far. The key to unlocking the Holy Land's secret realm is the core energy inheritance of the pollution. Once you reach the ruins plaza, you'll naturally know how to open the Holy Land."

Please proceed with extreme caution in the journey ahead, as some areas within the secret realm... are beyond our control.

Shen Jue nodded and jumped into the trench.

As she fell, she could feel the surrounding seawater gradually becoming viscous, as if countless invisible hands were blocking her body, making it difficult to descend.

However, this minor difficulty was greatly reduced after Shen Jue took out the core energy inheritance crystal from the source of pollution, and the sinking speed has now returned to its original level.

The crystal felt slightly warm in her palm, and black mist seeped out between her fingers, only to be suppressed by some force.

The deeper you go, the dimmer it gets. There was a faint light before, but as you descend, you are completely plunged into darkness.

All that remained in Shen Jue's ears was the sound of flowing water and her own steady breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, her feet finally touched the ground. The surroundings were still pitch black, but a faint glimmer of light could be seen in the distance.

She swam toward the light, and soon, a ruined plaza came into view.

The plaza is composed of countless broken stone pillars and collapsed buildings, the pillars covered with ancient rune patterns that are identical to the patterns on the surface of crystals.

In the center of the square stood a huge stone gate, inlaid with a crystal that emitted a faint blue light, which was very similar to the crystal in Shen Jue's hand.

Most strikingly, the entire ruined plaza was shrouded in a faint glow, as if isolated from the surrounding darkness.

The fluorescence comes from the sand and gravel on the ground, which contains tiny golden particles that emit a faint glow in the darkness.

As Shen Jue approached the stone gate, he discovered that its surface was covered with cracks, from which wisps of black mist seeped out, just like the black mist inside the crystal.

She raised the crystal in her hand, and it immediately resonated with the crystal on the stone gate. The two energies intertwined in the air, emitting a deep hum.

Shen Jue pressed the crystal into the groove in the center of the stone door, and the crystal immediately fused with the stone door. The runes on the stone door began to flicker, and the eerie blue light gradually intensified.

However, just as the stone gate was about to open, the black mist inside the crystal suddenly erupted and spread along the patterns of the runes.

“There’s definitely something wrong…” Shen Jue muttered to herself. She quickly pulled out a card from her pocket; the runes on the card echoed the patterns on the stone gate. She affixed the card to the surface of the crystal, attempting to suppress the spread of the black mist.

I never thought that the purification card I created before would come in handy now.

However, the power of the black mist far exceeded her expectations. The energy within the purification card was extremely chaotic, and cracks appeared on the card's exterior, meaning that the rudimentary purification card she had created was about to collapse.

The crystal in her hand was slightly hot, and the black mist within it seemed to be alive, winding up her arm.

In an instant, Shen Jue felt a bone-chilling cold, as if countless tiny insects were gnawing at her skin, subtly affecting her consciousness.

"I absolutely cannot let this thing influence me!" Shen Jue bit her tongue, the stinging pain in her mouth bringing a brief moment of clarity to her mind.

In the instant he regained consciousness, Shen Jue used the power of purification.

To get myself out of this strange situation.

Her own purification abilities are far greater than the effects of the purification card.

With the purification ability and the enhancement of the Origin Sphere, the Purification Card, which originally had cracks, burst out with a strong light, temporarily repelling the invading black mist.

Without this influence, the runes on the stone gate lit up again.

Now that the gate is open, the next step should be the sacred realm.

With anticipation, Shen Jue stepped into this space. Behind the stone door was a pitch-black space, as if even the light had been swallowed up.
