Zuan then remembered that Mi Li had made a deal with him because she was afraid of being purified, and he didn't know how effective the purification would be, so he hurriedly looked towards the white door.
The white gate seemed to possess a mysterious allure, drawing countless spirits slowly from the pool and marching towards it in groups. Each spirit looked serene, as if filled with hope for the afterlife.
There was a thin, water-like film on the white gate. The spirits that stepped through it disappeared as if they had entered another mysterious world.
Seeing this scene before him, Zuan couldn't help but marvel at its wonder: "Is the White Gate the gateway to the afterlife?"
“Of course not,” Mi Li sneered.
Zuan: "???"
Mi Li said, "The concept of an afterlife is illusory. Unless some powerful beings have the ability to reincarnate, ordinary people have no afterlife. This Gate of Rebirth is just a purification technique. When these spirits enter, they will be broken down into the most primordial elements of heaven and earth and completely dissipate into the world."
Zuan: "..."
This woman is so cunning! She gave him a passionate speech that moved him deeply, only to find out it was all a lie.
I must be more careful with what she says in the future, otherwise I'll be betrayed and still be counting the money for her.
"Of course, this is not a bad ending for them either, since being a vengeful spirit means they can't even find peace after death," Mi Li continued.
Zu An thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second!"
However, he wasn't so pedantic as to tell these spirits the truth.
"Don't waste this rare opportunity, refine this scattered primordial energy," Mi Li reminded her.
Zuan then realized that as the spirits gradually dissipated, the primordial energy around him was much more abundant than before. He hurriedly maintained the Gate of Rebirth while circulating the Primordial Scripture to repair his injuries.
Chu Chuyan stood guard beside him to protect him, while looking worriedly at Qiao Xueying on the other side. Qiao Xueying's injuries were too severe. Although she wouldn't die immediately, she would be in danger if it went on for too long.
"Wife, I'm fine here. Go and take care of Xue'er," Zu'an said to her as he opened his eyes.
Chu Chuyan hummed in agreement. She had been somewhat worried. In the past few years, she and Xue'er had been together, nominally mistress and servant, but in reality, they were sisters.
She came to Qiao Xueying's side and noticed that she had fallen into a semi-conscious state. She hurriedly channeled her vital energy into her body. Although it was not as pure as the Primordial Qi, it could still have a slow healing effect on her injuries.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Qiao Xueying slowly opened her eyes and found that it was Chu Chuyan who had saved her. Her expression was somewhat complicated, and she whispered, "Thank you."
Chu Chuyan hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "No need to thank me, it was Azu who asked me to save you."
Qiao Xueying smiled slightly: "You're always like this. You're clearly kind-hearted, but you're unwilling to admit many things."
Chu Chuyan's face flushed. The relationship between the two was somewhat awkward. Logically speaking, since the other party was a spy from the enemy forces who had infiltrated the Chu family, the two should be irreconcilable enemies. However, she just couldn't bring herself to hate this sister she had spent every day with.
But it's unlikely that they can return to the close relationship they had before.
After hesitating for a moment, she changed the subject: "By the way, weren't you and Azu like oil and water before? How come you seem to be getting along very well now?"
Qiao Xueying hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand, there's nothing between him and me, just a simple working relationship. We fought side by side to save you before, so we have some camaraderie, but nothing more."
Chu Chuyan couldn't help but smile: "I didn't say anything, why are you in such a hurry?"
Qiao Xueying's cheeks flushed, and she stopped talking, but her heart was pounding. What was wrong with her? She hadn't lied, so why did she feel guilty?
Several hours passed before the two hundred thousand undead were completely purified.
As the last undead spirit disappeared, the temperature in the entire underground palace seemed to rise by several degrees, and the previously bottomless and somewhat dark pool of water gradually became clear.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. During this time, he had absorbed the primordial energy, and his terrible injuries had been completely healed. His mental state was better than ever before.
Because he had been beaten so badly by Mi Li that his flesh and blood were torn apart, his bones were broken countless times, and he was bleeding to the point of exhaustion.
Under the repair of the Primordial Chaos Scripture, his entire body was once again thoroughly tempered. His physical strength is now twice as strong as before. He even has a feeling that even a fifth-rank expert, as long as they do not use elemental power, can only cause limited damage to his body even with a full-force attack.
Looking down at his lower abdomen, he was amazed by the story he had read in history about Lao Ai being used as an axle to turn wheels. Now, he realized it was nothing more than a trivial skill.
However, he quickly regained his composure, because he had just realized that he had only absorbed a small portion of the Primordial Chaos Qi. Most of the energy that the undead had scattered after being purified had been absorbed into the Tai'a Sword.
Zuan couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Empress is indeed brilliant. She made me busy for half a day, only to make a wedding dress for you."
