The light on the stone tablet gradually faded, and Shen Jue also discovered that most of the cracks on the surface of the crystal had healed, and the black mist had been suppressed to the core of the crystal. However, she could sense that the black mist had not disappeared, but had only been temporarily sealed.

"It seems the stone tablet has the ability to purify the core of inheritance, but one purification is not enough..." Shen Jue muttered to himself.

She took the crystal out of the groove in the stone tablet, and the crystal shimmered in her palm as if in response to her.

Just then, a slight cough came from behind her, and she realized that the high priest who had been floating behind her seemed to have a slightly different spirit.

His spirit body is much more solid now than before, and the black spots on the umbrella have faded considerably.

“Thank you,” the high priest’s voice was still weak, but much clearer than before. “You not only purified the crystal, but also helped me restore some of my power.”

Shen Jue raised an eyebrow: "I was just trying it out. I didn't expect you to benefit from it. This stone tablet is connected to the crystal. What is its origin?"

The high priest's tentacles swayed gently, as if recalling something: "This stone tablet is the true core of the sacred realm, sealing a powerful force—'Breath of the Deep Sea'."

This power can both purify pollution and destroy everything.

Shen Jue's gaze sharpened: "So, you originally wanted to use 'Breath of the Deep Sea' to purify the crystal, but you failed?"

The high priest's spirit contracted slightly, his voice tinged with bitterness: "That's right. I underestimated the power of the pollution and overestimated my own abilities. As a result, not only did I fail to purify the crystal, but I was also devoured by the pollution, and in the end, I had no choice but to seal myself here."

Shen Jue was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then why did it succeed this time?"

High Priest: "Because the power of the Breath of the Deep Sea is too violent and extremely unstable, a slight mistake could trigger a disaster."

Moreover, the contamination within the crystal has become integrated with its energy; forcibly purifying it will only cause the contamination to spread faster.

Shen Jue frowned: "So you mean, we can only purify it little by little?"

The high priest nodded: "That's right, and each purification requires a lot of energy. In your current state, I'm afraid you won't be able to perform a second purification in a short time."

Shen Jue looked down at the crystal in her hand, then looked up at the High Priest: "And you? You seem to be in much better shape than before."

The high priest's spirit trembled slightly: "Thanks to your help, my spirit has recovered quite a bit. However, to fully recover, I need more energy."

A sly glint flashed in Shen Jue's eyes: "If I could help you fully recover, what would you give me in return?"

The high priest was silent for a moment before finally saying, "If you can help me restore my physical body, I can grant you access to the 'Secret Treasury' of the Holy Land, where rare resources accumulated by my race over thousands of years are stored."

A smile appeared on Shen Jue's lips: "Deal."

Afterwards, Shen Jue took out a dark gold card, then took out the Destiny Stele and activated the card. The complex pattern on the card was comparable to that on the Destiny Stele. After the card was attached to the Destiny Stele, it immediately established a connection with it.

This is the first time she has absorbed energy from the Destiny Tablet to help other living beings since she obtained it.

Despite what she said, Shen Jue was actually unsure herself.

Fortunately, the Destiny Stele was still reliable after absorbing enough energy. The patterns on the stele began to flicker, and a soft light emanated from the stele, enveloping the High Priest's spirit.

"This is..." The high priest's voice carried a hint of surprise.

"This is a great thing that can help you reshape your body. Don't rush, just slowly feel it."

As Shen Jue finished speaking, the High Priest's spirit gradually solidified in the light, and the black spots on the umbrella also faded little by little until they disappeared.

The high priest was also very surprised. He could feel the changes in himself and knew that Shen Jue had not lied to him.
