As a commotion was happening at the party inside Duke Jiang's house, Seth had already returned to the inn he was staying. Impressively, Rina was still asleep when he came back, so he decided to silently cultivate.
But before he was able to fully concentrate on that, he heard Lexi's voice inside his head.
"Seth, I think I am ready now."
"Lexi? It's been so long I didn't hear you talking... Were you training?" Seth got happy and surprised with her appearance.
"Training? You could say so. However, I was not absorbing Spiritual Energy, but studying."
"You were studying all this time?" Seth was not able to believe it.
"Yeah. Do you still remember that I said I could purify your soul before? I was studying and getting more proficient of that. You could say that the risks have been reduced to almost zero now."
"Cool! Then will you be able to purify my soul right now?"
"I will. Actually, there is no need for you to do anything. I just need you to enter in a peaceful state and don't do or move anything, just act as if you were receiving a massage."
"No problems." Seth sat down cross-legged and relaxed his body. He cut his connection with his Mana and stood quiet, just breathing and nothing more.
In less than a minute, Lexi felt he was ready for her to start.
From within his Soul Essence Lake, a bright light started to shine, illuminating his whole soul space.
Weak white energy pulses expanded from that area, making his entire soul vibrate in a certain intensity. Those vibrations varied conforming with Lexi's techniques.
Seth felt his soul vibrating as many white light dots started to flow to some places. Those dots touched the surface of his soul, entering it and merging with determined places, creating a special effect when combined with the frequency of Lexi's special technique.
Seth was feeling that the missing pieces of his soul, were being returned back to him. The sensation he was having with each white dot he received, was that he had lost that dot some time ago, acquiring it back through this process.
What Lexi was actually doing, was not only purifying his soul and cleaning the impurities with those white dots, but trying to retrace Seth's soul to its primitive and perfect form. Unfortunately, she was not able to do it perfectly for now, only very shallowly.
Seth felt the best massage he could ever feel, a massage capable of relaxing his entire soul. On the outside, his physical body was getting brighter and even his aura was turning more sacred.
At some point in time, Rina woke up, since the environment was getting brighter because of the process. When she looked at Seth, she felt like he was as holy as their World Tree Replica.
She didn't understand what was happening, but made sure to not bother Seth and only observe.
Some hours later, the white light started to fade away and Seth opened his eyes. Lexi told him that it would be impossible to know if this process would be able to help him with anything, but just after he opened his eyes, he knew this purification had changed many things inside his soul, giving him access to things he couldn't control before.
The first thing he noticed was something that he had already done before, but had zero control over it.
His eyes turned towards Rina as he stood up from the ground.
"Seth, what were you doing?"
"Come here, I'll show it to you directly."
"Ah!"
Seth lifted Rina from the ground, carrying her over to the bed.
The first thing he came into contact with, was the ability to activate a Soul Resonance. Before this purification process, it was just but a phenomenon that would happen in a fit of good luck. However now, he was able to actively control it.
He was excited to test it out and he was lucky that Rina was just by his side at the right moment and time. The best part of this Hades inheritance technique, was that it would only work if the couple was fresh out of their bonding, something Seth loved and Rina was enjoying just the same.
Not even two minutes later, they were already enjoying each other's presence in their most natural form; with no clothes.

"ARRRRRRGH!!!"
After a last scream of agony, Chun Donghai's voice ceased. He had fought with his all, but he still ended up failing.
He was not dead, but his mind defenses were destroyed by the ancient power trying to penetrate it all this while. He had resisted with everything he got, not wavering even though he suffered this torture for many consecutive days.
However, he was just a human, and before a power that came from a deity, he wasn't able to prevail.
His appearance was just like of a beggar. Torn clothes, dirty all over and many self-inflicted injuries he made while trying to remain sane. But even though he was like that, he was still living.
His soul defenses though, were gone.
A purple smoke drifted around his head, invading his pores and reaching his soul space very quickly. In a matter of seconds, it easily found what it wanted to know.
Some letters started to form in the air; made by that purple smoke.
Chun Meiyi.
The Sanctuary Master read it and smiled.
"I told you it was inevitable. However, it could've been less painful for you. At least you will be able to retain your life, just having to live inside prison until the end of your days. But your offspring won't have that chance. The rules state she must be sacrificed at the Ethereal Mist Altar. That is something you brought onto yourselves."
The Sanctuary Master used his powerful Mana to stealthily bring Donghai to a secluded prison, not informing anyone about this. There weren't even guards taking care of him.
After that he returned to the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary.. The place only he was allowed to enter.
