The formation is complete; all that's missing is the spiritual essence to act as a catalyst.

Li Yuan looked back and saw that Lao Ao was lying on his side on the large barrel, his head drooping. He had lost too much essence and blood and had fainted.

He shook his head, kicked aside the massive body of the black giant turtle, and picked up the large bucket filled with its blood.

"Would you like to see your river god?"

Li Yuan casually tossed out a sentence.

The giant black turtle suddenly leaped up and stood upright.

Standing atop the summit, its spirit shines through.

"I can put in another bucket!"

Li Yuan slightly pursed his lips: "Come on."

He placed the large bucket outside the formation and used his immortal power to guide the old turtle's essence blood along the formation patterns.

The black giant turtle is a spirit close to the Linglong River Goddess, and carries her aura.

Moreover, the old turtle is naturally spiritual, and its essence and blood also possess extraordinary spirituality, making it perfect for nourishing the soul and tempering the body.

It can even subtly nourish the immortal body, making immortals and gods feel comfortable.

No wonder those mountain and river gods who took advantage of its misfortune demanded its life essence.

Bright red semen flew out of the bucket, like floating red ribbons.

However, upon touching the exquisite array patterns, it was as if it had encountered a raging fire, sizzling and crackling.

It's as if the ingenious formation on the ground utterly despises the blood of this old turtle.

The array patterns emitted a faint glow.

Within the formation, the engraved patterns of heaven and earth seemed to come alive, moving within the formation in a truly mystical way.

The blood of the turtle was burned by the array patterns and gradually became scarce.

In the end, a large bucket of old turtle blood was burned by the array patterns until only a small clump remained!

The small clump of essence blood, about half the size of a fist, was as clear as glass under the light of the array patterns, and it shimmered with blue-purple starlight.

It's as if the pure blood of an ancient giant turtle has been extracted, discarding all impurities.

Li Yuan's eyes widened.

"This isn't some kind of Soul-Nourishing Array, is it?!"

He had never heard of the Soul-Nourishing Array automatically refining the array's essence!

Zhang Tiansheng closed his eyes and stood to the side:

"What a fuss."

"It's just a few minor changes."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he continued to activate the formation.

This exquisite and intricate formation seemed extremely mysterious, and under the impetus of Li Yuan's immortal power, it began to emit a bright blue light.

The pure blood of the giant turtle transformed into a 'medicinal guide' to nourish the soul, which was then integrated into the body of the Linglong River God by the formation.

Then, the formation shone brightly, forcibly absorbing the surrounding Yin and Yang energy as a source of nourishment.

Li Yuan was somewhat surprised: "This is a Yin-Yang Fiend!"

But before he could react, the terrifying, bone-corroding evil energy transformed into incomparably pure spiritual energy after circulating several times within the formation.

Li Yuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"You've reduced it to just one or two parts, haven't you?"

Whose basic Soul-Nourishing Array can automatically purify the array guide and transform the Yin and Yang evil energy of the underworld into pure spiritual energy?

"Don't be so surprised. Hurry up and urge it on, don't miss the opportunity."

Zhang Tiansheng spoke calmly.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and stopped worrying about everything else.

Since the formation is effective, the chances of awakening the Linglong River God have increased even further.

Endless malevolent energy was drawn in at this moment, forming a dense vortex of black mist.

Black frost began to condense in the surrounding space, the temperature plummeted, and the chill seeped into one's very soul, which was somewhat terrifying.

Worried that the formation might not be able to hold up, Li Yuan drew upon the Heavenly Gang Righteous Qi within his body.

"Ode, the Heavenly Dipper Leads the Way!"

"upbraid!"

Li Yuan pointed his fingers and shouted, and the pale white Heavenly Qi transformed into a misty dragon, letting out a long roar as it rushed into the Yin and Netherworld Qi.

The pale white dragon-shaped mist suppressed these dark and malevolent energies, guiding them to circulate throughout the formation.

Countless yin and evil energies surged in, but were forcibly transformed into pure spiritual energy by this mysterious array, which then nourished the body of the Linglong River God.

To awaken its soul, one must first heal its immortal body.

Zhang Tiansheng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed to the side.

He quickly calculated the time.

"She longed for the mortal world, yet she fell at the gates of the underworld."

"The merits have been exhausted, but the incense continues to burn."

"On the verge of death, his soul was imprisoned in a dazed and confused void, as if he had fallen into an abyss."

"Go and bring her back."

Li Yuan was stunned for a long time.

Turning around, she rolled her eyes:

To put it simply...

Zhang Tiansheng's breath hitched, and he forced himself to suppress the urge to smash Li Yuan's head in, taking a deep breath.

"His soul left his body and entered her immortal form, awakening her soul."

Li Yuan snapped his fingers:

"I understand now."

He helped the exquisite river god's body up and positioned her in a cross-legged position.

The Linglong River Goddess's body was icy cold, constantly corroded by the evil spirits of the underworld, and blood-red lines appeared all over her skin.

Like red, bulging capillaries.

Her hair was dry and brittle, her face was deathly pale, and her body was extremely thin.

But the face hidden beneath her hair was exquisite and perfect, a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers, as if it were a gift from heaven.

The River Goddess Linglong was helped up, her head bowed and her eyes closed.

A trace of determination and resolve remained on his pale face.

Endless spiritual energy gathered and continued to flow into the body of the Linglong River God.

When spiritual energy enters the body, it circulates throughout the immortal body and transforms into immortal power, nourishing the entire body.

The emaciated body of the Linglong River Goddess is slowly regaining its vitality.

However, it will obviously take a long time.

After Li Yuan helped him to a proper position, he sat down cross-legged facing him, formed hand seals, and cast a spell. The illusory, semi-transparent divine soul detached from the immortal body.

The intense, malevolent energy of the underworld scraped against the soul, feeling like a steel knife cutting into flesh.

Li Yuan winced in pain and quickly transformed into a point of light, flowing into the Linglong River God's brow.

dark.

Loneliness.

An endless, misty black fog.

Heaven and earth are upside down, yin and yang are indistinguishable.

The place was filled with an atmosphere of deathly stillness, devoid of any sign of life.

After Li Yuan's soul entered, he couldn't help but lose his way.

No matter where he goes, he will eventually return to the same place.

Without guidance, one remains trapped in a small space, unable to break free!

Wisps of black mist swirled around Li Yuan, trying to envelop him, but they were all repelled by the golden light of merit emanating from his soul.

Li Yuan looked up.

The black fog was thick, obscuring the sun from the sky, and the earth seemed endless.

It seemed that only the eternal aura of death existed in this space.

"The Exquisite River Goddess?"

Li Yuan frowned and called out softly.

This is the spiritual world that Linglong River God constructed in the last moment before his will fell into a dazed slumber.

Clearly, before the Linglong River Goddess collapsed, she endured unbearable loneliness and despair, which led to her will sinking into the vast darkness.

Li Yuan took a deep breath.

Try to get out again.

But the next moment, they were back in the same spot.

"Linglong River God, wake up quickly!"

Li Yuan formed a hand seal and shouted loudly, his Daoist voice reverberating in all directions and spreading to every corner of this illusory spiritual world.

But the black fog was thick, and the world was silent; there was no response.

Li Yuan couldn't help but frown.

The Linglong River Goddess has suffered too much erosion from the Yin and Netherworld Fiends, and her will has probably fallen into complete confusion.

Simply calling upon its divine name is not enough to awaken it.

Unless, of course, something can be touched upon that is most cherished and longed for by the Linglong River Goddess...

Only then can arouse a response from the subconscious mind and soul.

"We'll have to find something else to do."

Li Yuan gritted his teeth.

He directly used his divine soul to cast a spell, conjuring up a large iron gong.

This is not something created out of thin air, but the ingenious art of transformation can create a deceptively realistic effect.

Li Yuan held a gong mallet in one hand and raised an iron gong high in the other.

"excuse me."

Li Yuan whispered.

when--!

Ding ding—!

"oops!!"

"Linglong River~ So tragic~~!"

"All the creatures in the river... Clang! (Sounds a gong) They are all dead!"

Li Yuan spoke loudly and clearly, his tone mournful and gentle, filled with sorrow.

"That old turtle met a truly tragic end; its blood was drained, and its four claws were used as footrests for tables and chairs!"

when--!

The gong was struck again, producing a deafening sound that echoed in all directions.

"That iron-headed fish, its skin has been peeled off, and its flesh has been scooped out!"

"And the mortals by the river, who were humiliated, knelt sincerely before the gods, only to be subjected to calamities by others!"

when--!

Li Yuan screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice high and shrill.

It is truly heartbreaking to hear and see.

The sky darkened, the earth disappeared, and the space was completely silent.

But from the depths of the black fog, a faint yet clear sound of chains suddenly rang out.

It was like a sleeping creature that trembled involuntarily.

This tiny movement that broke the silence was like the only twinkling star in the night sky.

This sound is the guide, enough to shatter the vast black fog!

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed sharply, he immediately recognized the direction, and stopped his vivid performance.

The giant iron gong vanished in a radiant glow.

"Deceitful and misleading, but guided by the Heavenly General!"

He raised his sword and gave a low shout.

Click——!

A wisp of pale white aura pierced through the mist, forcibly intruding from beyond this world.

"Break it for me!"
