The Purifying Stone acquired last time is now manifested here.

However,

the redemption price is quite high.

Fifty thousand battle merits!

One Purifying Stone does not provide much Power of Faith when refined, compared to the significantly more Power of Faith obtained from fifty thousand Divine Crystals.

But even so,

a single Purifying Stone still costs fifty thousand battle merits and has a redemption quantity limit.

If other disciples redeem them first, even if there are more battle merits later, obtaining the Purifying Stone would be impossible.

The costliness of the Purifying Stone,

Shen Changqing can understand.

Refining large amounts of Divine Crystals can lead to unstable realms, causing Heart Demons to appear. Thus, using a Purifying Stone to remove impurities from faith for personal absorption eliminates this worry.

The reason being,

Divine Crystals are ultimately faith refined by other God Realms, different from one's own faith.

Therefore,

the price of the Purifying Stone is so high.

However,

having a Purifying Stone does not mean one can enhance oneself without any worries.

The function of the Purifying Stone is not to create faith power out of thin air, but to remove all impurities from existing, unrefined faith, allowing it to be refined by cultivators.

Faith of a clan can also be exhausted.

The last time he used a Purifying Stone, he refined all the faith left in the Sea of Consciousness by the Qingfeng Clan over the years that had not been refined in time.

Because of this, he directly broke through to the fourth level of the God Realm.

Now,

although he obtained eighty percent of the Qingfeng Clan's faith, which is more than twice as much as before,

the time he has had the faith is ultimately too short, and the stored Power of Faith in the Sea of Consciousness is not much. Even if it were all refined at once, advancing to the next level is unlikely.

In an instant,

Shen Changqing gave up the idea of exchanging for a Purifying Stone.

Although the Supreme Treasure is good,

it does not have a significant effect on his current self.

Besides the Purifying Stone,

there are also many formations available for redemption.

Such as the Spirit Gathering Array for gathering Spiritual Energy, the Sensing Formation focused on sensing, and various attacking and defensive formations, all of which opened his eyes.

Speaking of formations,

the Demon-Subduing Division also has quite a few.

But compared to the formations in the Candle Sect, it is like a small witch facing a great witch; the difference is like an insurmountable chasm.

The formations of the Candle Sect,

not only involve the God Realm but also include those at the Divine King Level.

However,

the Divine King Level formations are extremely expensive.

Even the initial Heaven and Earth Divine King Level formations cost five hundred thousand battle merits.

If it's an attack or defense level formation, the cost doubles on the original basis.

"If I can exchange for a Divine King Level formation, wouldn't that be equivalent to having Divine King Level combat power? Even if I can't match a true Divine King, at least within the scope of the formation, I won't be weaker than a Divine King!"

The first idea that came to Shen Changqing's mind was to use the power of formations to solve the Demon Evil Clan.

In the past, he always focused on himself,

believing that enhancing his own strength was the only way to resolve the Demon Evil Clan.

Until now,

Shen Changqing suddenly realized.

Strength is indeed important.

But among the Heavens' Myriad Clans, there are myriad ways. Truly solving a clan issue doesn't necessarily require matching power; using external assistance is also feasible.

Even,

directly using Divine Crystals to hire powerful beings is possible.

If the Human Clan were not so sensitive among the Heavens' Myriad Clans, he would also want to use Divine Crystals to hire powerful beings to wipe out the Demon Evil Clan.

Stepping out of previous misconceptions,

when reconsidering the issue of the Demon Evil Clan, Shen Changqing became suddenly enlightened.

"In front of the Myriad Clans of the Heavens, the problem of the Demon Evil Clan is not that serious. Moreover, resolving the Demon Evil Clan is just the first step."

With this thought,

he then set his eyes on the steward before him.
