Shen Jue can even purify; her ability is truly terrifying.

After getting her hands on the items, all Shen Jue wanted to do was go home.

How do I leave the sacred realm?

The high priest's expression stiffened upon hearing this, a change that Shen Jue immediately noticed. Shen Jue understood what was going on, but she still pressed for an answer, "What's wrong?"

The high priest hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "It's like this, I was infected by the virus source before, and then I forcibly sealed this place, so the passage out was destroyed. Currently, it seems that none of us can get out."

Shen Jue: ...

What I'm saying is, why didn't you say so sooner?

She had happily selected a series of materials and miracle drugs she wanted, only to be told this terrible news.

"Is there really no way to get out?"

Shen Jue looked at the High Priest with a serious expression, as if she could stare at him until the end of time if he didn't come up with a solution.

The high priest racked his brains, stimulating his neurons to find a way out from the fragments of memory.

"To the Crystal Palace in the Sacred Realm, and the route to the Crystal Palace... let me think about it some more..."

Shen Jue was speechless. She took out a tonic and tossed it to the high priest.

"Drink it to replenish your energy. If you can't drink it, just smelling it is fine too."

The high priest's tentacles lightly caught the bottle of potion that Shen Jue had thrown over.

The tentacles opened the stopper and quickly absorbed the medicine before it could dissipate.

After drinking the tonic, the high priest felt refreshed and invigorated.

The route that was blurry in my memory has now become clear.

After the high priest led Shen Jue through many detours, they finally arrived at the Crystal Palace.

Similarly, the Crystal Palace still requires the opening of the Inherited Energy Crystal, and the requirements are quite high. If the Inherited Energy Crystal has not been purified before, it cannot open the Crystal Palace.

But by sheer coincidence, Shen Jue purified the inheritance crystal three times, successfully opening the door to the Crystal Palace.

Standing in the center of the crystal palace, Shen Jue looked at the stone tablet that was exactly the same as before and could purify the inheritance crystal. Shen Jue decisively put the inheritance crystal into the groove.

The moment it was placed into the groove, both the stone tablet and the inheritance crystal flashed.

As mentioned before, this stone tablet has a purifying effect, and the stone tablet in this crystal palace will only have a stronger purifying effect.

Looking at the completely purified inheritance crystal in front of him.

A pure blue light flowed across the surface of the crystal, and the black pollutants that once clung to it had completely disappeared.

Seeing how easily Shen Jue resolved the source of contamination in the inheritance crystal,

The high priest was deeply troubled; how could someone's luck be as good as Shen Jue's?

Think about how much effort he put into purifying the source of pollution in the inheritance crystal; he almost lost himself in the process.

"So, how do we get out of here?"

Upon hearing this, the high priest confidently replied, "Don't worry about that. Since you've come this far, I'll naturally find a way to get you out."

After he finished speaking, the high priest emitted a fluorescent blue light from his entire body.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Jue felt a slight tremor coming from the crystal floor beneath her feet.

She looked up at the palace dome and, through the clear seawater, vaguely saw a streak of crimson aurora.

The next moment, they left the sacred secret realm and returned to the habitat of the jellyfish tribe.

At this moment, Qinglian was being criticized and denounced by the clan elders.

"Qinglian, Qinglian, how could you keep this from us old folks and secretly agree to let that outsider into the sacred secret realm?"

"But she said she had a way to purify the inheritance crystal."

"You're just too easily fooled. You believe everything people say. If they say they can purify something, then they can purify it. You believe they can purify crystals just by saying a few words. Aren't you worried that they'll run away after getting the inheritance crystal? Then, in the vast ocean, where will you find them?"

"Elder Kongkong, there's some activity at the Holy Land."

"Get lost! Can't you see I'm annoyed? What did you say? Is there any movement from the Holy Land?"

"The source of pollution near the holy site is receding, and the magical teleportation device has been activated."

The little jellyfish reported everything it had discovered to Elder Kongkong in a remarkably fast voice.

Upon hearing this, Elder Kongkong quickly grabbed Qinglian and Little Jellyfish and ran towards the direction of the magic array teleportation device.

Elder Kongkong was almost dragging two jellyfish along when they arrived, and Shen Jue and the High Priest emerged from the sacred secret realm.

"High Priest! It really is you! You're really alive!"

Watching the two jellyfish recognize each other, although they had no expression, for some reason, Shen Jue could feel that their current atmosphere was very similar to that of old friends reuniting after many years, and then bursting into tears.

Shen Jue didn't want to waste time with them. She saw the small jellyfish next to the large jellyfish, which was Qinglian. "I've purified the inheritance crystal. Here you go. I won't ask what you do with it afterward. As for the contract, I'll dissolve it myself when I return to my island. You don't need to worry about that."

Shen Jue handed the inheritance crystal to the little jellyfish, and then fled with lightning speed.

The other two large jellyfish realized what was happening, but it was too late; Shen Jue didn't even hear their attempts to stop him.

"Qinglian, why didn't you stop her?"

Qinglian: ...

The money and goods have already been exchanged, why should I stop them!

In any case, Shen Jue has already made a clean getaway.

As Shen Jue ascended, she noticed that the seawater was darker than usual, and some bioluminescent plankton were unusually clustered in the shallow water.

As she set foot on the island, she immediately sensed something was amiss. A faint metallic smell permeated the air, a sign of an approaching storm, but today the smell was particularly pungent.

"Master!" Jack, the pirate captain in charge of clearing the island, ran over. "You're finally back! The weather's been so abnormal these past few days that we had to suspend our clearing work on the east side."

Shen Jue looked around and found that all the trees on the island were leaning in the same direction, and their leaves had an unnatural grayish-green color.
