Holding Lilly tightly in his arms, Pablo ventured deeper into the dark abyss.
Countless bones lay beneath his feet, and even the slightest touch would reduce them to powder. Even newly fallen bones rapidly decayed upon reaching the abyss's depths, emitting a brittle cracking sound akin to stepping on dead leaves, easily crumbling underfoot.
At that moment, Pablo felt the aura around him surging and converging around him.
Startled, he realized that the aura was not drawn to him, but to Lilly!
Subconsciously, he flicked his sleeves to disperse the gathered aura.
Lilly, still in slumber, thought to herself.
Huh? How did my aura break? Let's try again!
As Pablo dispersed the aura, he noticed even more of it rolling in.
His heart sank, and he lowered his gaze to Lilly in his arms. Her eyelids remained tightly shut, her small hands clinging to his clothes.
Pablo suddenly paused.
Wait, this aura... it's attracted to her?
Soon, his mouth fell open involuntarily, confirming his suspicions. Whenever the aura came into contact with Lilly, it seemed to cocoon around her before being completely absorbed into her body!
Externally, there was no visible movement, but upon careful observation, one could discern the majestic flow of spirit energy coursing through her meridians.
The frost on her eyelashes had long since melted, and her once icy-cold body now exuded a comforting warmth.
She had transformed into a warm, tender little bundle.
Pablo breathed a sigh of relief, but he could not help but be astounded. At this moment, this little girl had shown her extraordinary abilities.
She was self-taught, she swiftly found the right path after being given the right hints.
In the underworld, most ghosts were woeful ghosts, consisting mainly of malignant spirits and ghost generals. They were no match for the ghost lords enlisted by the Ruler of Hell in terms of power.
However, there was another type of ghost known as a novice ghost.
Novice ghosts were considered to be ghosts in training.
In the underworld, the majority of ghosts were ordinary ghosts. The reason for the scarcity of novice ghosts was that very few ghosts could endure the rigorous training required.
Even the initial step of transforming aura into spirit energy was something that ordinary ghosts could not accomplish. They could not even sense the presence of spirit energy.
In the ghost world, the aura was akin to the ambient air in the human world. In the human world, around 99.9% of people could not perceive the aura in the air. This was primarily due to the dissipation of aura and the lack of practitioners. Even those who practiced meditation regularly were rarely true practitioners, often focusing only on health preservation rather than cultivating their spiritual abilities.
Returning to Lilly, she had just successfully transferred the aura from her body to Pablo, absorbing only a small amount. Pablo had initially been concerned that she might drain all of his aurae, but now he realized that she had learned to draw on the surrounding aura instead.
Pablo's heart softened, and he gazed at her tenderly.
"Now that you've learned a new skill," Pablo said, a slight curve forming on his lips, "I'm still as useless as ever, right?"
He raised his hand, his elegant fingers slender and beautiful, and gently brushed the tip of Lilly's nose.
Lilly, still nestled in his arms, kept her eyes tightly closed. If there were any sounds during her practice, it would likely be her soft murmurs.
Pablo wrapped Lilly tightly in his outer robe, pressing her against his chest, and then he\ surveyed their surroundings.
