Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1533

Thankfully, Shannon came to the rescue. She clearly carried the bloodline power of the fox clan. Perhaps, with her abilities, she could help recover Eddie's lost soul channel.

However, Shannon looked somewhat solemn after Freya's words. "Usually, when a soul channel is lost, it doesn't usually stray too far. But since you couldn't find it in that room, it's highly likely that it was sucked into the ghost gate."

If that were the case, things would become tricky.

Inside the ghost gate, the warning was clear—no living soul should approach.

Not only was it forbidden for the living to enter, but even getting too close was dangerous. When the ghost gate opened, it automatically absorbed nearby spirits.

Any ordinary mystic master, whose cultivation wasn't high enough, would find their soul unstable and easily affected. This was also why most of them avoided opening the ghost gate to guide spirits across, for the risks were simply too great.

"Mr. Wynford said that every ghost gate here corresponds to different entrances into the underworld. Do you know which ghost gate he'd opened?"

Worried that Freya couldn't pinpoint the exact location, she pulled out the spatial model she had drawn on her phone and let her point to one of the rooms. "Here—we entered here."

Shannon then turned to Zidane.

Although she had no idea how a mere mortal like him could connect with the underworld, or how he managed to open so many ghost gates within the ghost building, she knew she had to ask him since this was his territory.

Zidane was straightforward. He glanced at the room Freya had pinpointed and raised a brow. "That's the Five Impurities Gate."

The underworld had five realms of spiritual impurities classified as karmic, perceptual, mental, sentient, and destiny impurities.

There was no cycle of reincarnation, nor were there evil spirits, but souls there had to face the Five Impurities Judgment. For the living, it was like a trial of the soul itself, let alone a mere lost soul channel.

One wrong move, and it could have resulted in the collapse of the soul channel.
