The analyses of a sentence.

The Silk Road ran through what had been the Parthian empire and was now Ardashir's Sassanid empire. It was a road on which ideas spread. On it, Jews who had had fled from their homeland, and after the Jews came Christians. Buddhist ideas came on it from India and mixed with Zoroastrianism. And into the mix of religious ideas arose a blend the various religions into a universalist faith: Manichaeism (pronounced mani-KEY-ism).
<The Prophet Mani and his Universalist Faith http://www.fsmitha.com/h1/ch22.htm>
I think the word "of" is missing after "blend" and "into a universalist faith" express the result of "a blend of the various religions," and that "a blend of the various religions into a universalist faith" is a noun phrase.
I'd like to know if my thought is right.
Thank you in advance for your help.
