As Zi Linling and the Azure Star Soul communicated, Shen Liuxing and Elder Du successively collapsed.
At this critical juncture, the Ghost Emperor suddenly appeared behind Zi Linling.
"I've come to lend you a hand!"
With the soul power of the Ghost Emperor, an ancient being of a hundred thousand years, Zi Linling gained confidence.
She said sincerely, "Thank you!"
"No need! The reason I'm helping you is because I hope you can leave an entrance to the Underworld passage for the Ghost Realm!" the Ghost Emperor said faintly.
Zi Linling smiled slightly and replied, "Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor, once the Underworld passage is opened, the original entrance to the Underworld passage in the Ghost Realm will be activated. There's no need to leave a separate one."
The Ghost Emperor nodded and said no more, only carefully controlling the output of his soul power.
His soul power, after a hundred thousand years of cultivation, had already reached an immense level. He feared that if he input too much, the young girl might explode and die from being unable to bear it. Sudans novels.
Time passed quickly, but the Ghost Gate and the Six Paths of Reincarnation did not return. Zi Linling and the Ghost Emperor could only maintain a continuous supply of soul power.
Under the frantic siphoning by the Ghost Gate and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, even the soul power of the Ghost Emperor, a hundred-thousand-year-old monster, rapidly depleted.
"Pfft!"
The Ghost Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.
"Not good!"
Zi Linling inwardly exclaimed and asked with concern, "Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor, are you alright?"
The Ghost Emperor shook his head and stubbornly continued to transmit his dwindling soul power.
Even the immense soul power could not withstand the depletion from the Ghost Gate and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, let alone the little that was left.
Soon, the Ghost Emperor's soul power was completely exhausted, and he fell down.
"Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor!"
Zi Linling cried out weakly.
Without the support of the Ghost Emperor's soul power, Zi Linling had no choice but to swallow another bottle of Soul Nurturing Pills.
Although the Soul Nurturing Pills could convert into wisps of soul power, Zi Linling's head felt like it was being pierced by thousands of steel needles, causing unbearable pain.
If not for her strong willpower, she would have fallen unconscious like everyone else.
The situation was extremely perilous. If new soul power was not supplied, Zi Linling's soul would be completely depleted, leading to her demise.
This was different from the situation of the Ghost Emperor, Elder Du, Shen Liuxing, and the Ten Ghost Messengers.
The Ghost Emperor and the others had only exhausted their soul power, which triggered their self-preservation instincts, preserving the last wisp of soul power. As long as they recuperated, this single wisp would quickly grow like a prairie fire.
Therefore, they would not die.
However, Zi Linling's situation was different.
The Ghost Gate and the Six Paths of Reincarnation were completely merged with Zi Linling's soul. Once drained, they would be utterly depleted, leaving no seed behind.
The situation was dire. The Azure Star Soul wanted to help, but as a spiritual body formed from the convergence of heaven and earth spiritual energy, she could not extract soul power.
What to do?
Perhaps sensing Zi Linling's crisis, the nascent world began to shake violently.
The Chanxin Ancient City instantly emerged from the nascent world, and at the same time, the Other Shore Tear flew out of Zi Linling's eyes.
After fusing, the two emitted a soft glow, enveloping Zi Linling.
A cool sensation instantly flowed into Zi Linling's mind. Her empty Sea of Consciousness immediately became full, and the splitting headache vanished.
Nourished by the Chanxin Ancient City and the Other Shore Tear, Zi Linling's soul power rapidly recovered.
Zi Linling was overjoyed and wholeheartedly supplied soul power to the Ghost Gate and the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
With the addition of the Chanxin Ancient City and the Other Shore Tear, Zi Linling became full of confidence.
Unbeknownst to her, because the power of the Other Shore Tear was being utilized, Ye Lingyuan in "Chong'er" actually moved his finger, showing signs of awakening.
A moment later, Zi Linling finally felt the Ghost Gate and the Six Paths of Reincarnation rapidly ascending towards the surface.
This meant that the accumulated souls from the three continents over the past hundred thousand years had all been processed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The transparent energy pillar shattered with a roar, and dozens of bizarre lights shot out from the Heavenly Origin Continent, the Heavenly Gift Continent, and the Divine Remnant Continent. One of them was in the Ghost Realm.
These dozens of bizarre lights were the reception entrances of the Underworld passage in various locations.
The moment the bizarre lights emerged, the Ghost Gate and the Six Paths of Reincarnation finally flew out of the ground.
Reluctantly, they separated and rapidly shrunk. The Ghost Gate fell into Zi Linling's palm, while the Six Paths of Reincarnation burrowed into Zi Linling's Sea of Consciousness and fell into a deep slumber.
The Chanxin Ancient City returned to the nascent world, and the Other Shore Tear once again flew back into Zi Linling's eyes.
The moment the Other Shore Tear returned, Ye Lingyuan also returned to his original state.
The Azure Star Soul finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Child, the Underworld passage of the three continents has been opened. From now on, the three continents will be united and become one. You can also use the power of the divine artifact, the Ghost Gate, to travel between the three continents. Of course, only you can."
"Really? That's great!"
Zi Linling was overjoyed.
It was not a wasted effort, as she had almost paid with her life.
The Azure Star Soul smiled kindly, "Of course! Child, your efforts were not in vain. I also believe that you will lead all the beings of the Azure Star through the tribulation of destruction and put an end to the history of the Azure Star being invaded."
"Senior Star Soul, please rest assured. As long as I am alive, I will not allow extraterrestrial invaders to enslave the Azure Star. I will also do my best to bring peace back to the Azure Star!" Zi Linling vowed.
The Azure Star Soul nodded with satisfaction, "Child, I believe you. Before you go to the Divine Remnant Realm, you should first visit the Heavenly Demon Realm!"
"The Heavenly Demon Realm? Why?" Zi Linling asked, confused.
The Azure Star Soul smiled and said, "Because there are your loved ones in the Heavenly Demon Realm who need you to save them, and their situation is critical."
"My loved ones? Who?" Zi Linling quickly asked.
"Child, you will understand when you get there! Alright, I must go into slumber now. I need to accumulate enough strength before the great tribulation of destruction arrives to help you!"
After speaking, the Azure Star Soul entered slumber again.
Zi Linling put away the Ghost Gate and approached the Ghost Emperor.
With her slender finger, she gently touched the Ghost Emperor's brow, and green life force flowed into his body.
Soon, the Ghost Emperor slowly opened his eyes.
Zi Linling smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor, I have already healed your injuries. As for the recovery of your soul power, you can only do it slowly yourself, otherwise, it will cause irreparable damage to your cultivation."
