The subject of a gerund/ a participle

Question

The fertile Fergana Valley was an important conduit on the Silk Roads (more precisely the North Silk Road), which connected the ancient Chinese capital of Xi'an to the west over the Wushao Ling Mountain Pass to Wuwei and emerging in Kashgar before linking to ancient Parthia, or on to the north of the Aral and Caspian Seas to ports on the Black Sea.

I'd like to know what is the subject of "emerging."
Thank you in advance for your help.

There is a structural mistake (Wikipedia again); it should have been edited to 'emerged'. Do you see the subject now?

Thank you, Mr.Micawber, for your another kind answer.

Then, I think the subject is "The fertile Fergana Valley."
I'd also like to know if "on" means "continuing" in "or on to the north."

No, valleys do not emerge. I think you can do better than that.

'continuing'.

Thank you, Mr.Micawber, for your continuing support.

Then I have the only remaining option? the Silk Roads.
If not, I'm afraid that I might fail you.

'continuing'.

I was wondering if you meant "continuing?".

Right: the Silk Roads...connected...and emerged.
