Although Lu Yan had never seen the Red Lotus Karma Fire, he was certain that the majestic flame in his hand was definitely not the legendary Red Lotus Karma Fire. Instead, it was closer to the Profound Yellow Merit Fire mentioned in the "Secret Record of Demonic Magical Artifacts."
The Profound Yellow Merit Fire is a Divine Power Fire, refined by those possessing great merit. It is a genuine Golden Core Divine Technique.
Although the fire in Lu Yan's hand couldn't be considered a complete Profound Yellow Merit Fire, it still possessed a glimpse of divine elegance.
It should be noted that Divine Power Techniques are methods that can only be mastered by Golden Core cultivators. Indeed, within the great sects, there are some special divine techniques that can be cultivated at lower realms, but they often require extremely harsh conditions.
Such as a unique physique or a rare piece of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, making it so that less than one in a hundred cultivators qualify.
To cultivate a Divine Power Fire at the third layer of Qi Cultivation, even the smallest glimpse of divine elegance is enough to astonish anyone.
When attempting to touch the Profound Yellow Fire, Lu Yan felt no burning pain. Instead, the heart demon formed from days of anxiety and confusion completely dissipated, leaving him with a sense of peace of mind.
In the "Secret Record of Demonic Magical Artifacts," there were only a few brief sentences regarding the Profound Yellow Merit Fire.
In terms of divine techniques, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire is considered highly special. Generally, its ability for offense isn't strong, but as a Fire Dao Divine Technique, its protective qualities are emphasized, resisting heart demons and rendering various techniques ineffective.
Yet, when facing demonic forces, the power exhibited by the Profound Yellow Merit Fire far surpasses those of the same level.
No demonic skill or magical artifact can withstand the burning of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, even the Thousand Souls Banner, comparable to a Golden Core Treasure, is no exception.
It is precisely because of its powerful restraint against demonic magical artifacts that the "Secret Record of Demonic Magical Artifacts" contains related information about this divine technique, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire.
However, the information in the book about the Profound Yellow Merit Fire is limited since it is merely a secret record for crafting demonic magical artifacts, not a Divine Skill Scripture.
With this in mind, Lu Yan slowly extended his right hand, holding the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, towards the calm Soul Banner beside him.
The flames spread and illuminated the Soul Banner, and the majestic aura seemed to be stimulated, rapidly growing, as if it intended to completely dispel the impure aura above the Soul Banner.
Even before the Profound Yellow Merit Fire touched the Soul Banner, Lu Yan saw the sinister and terrifying expressions on the faces of over ninety resentful spirits on the banner disappearing, replaced by expressions of extreme fear.
A piercing wail emanated from the Soul Banner as these resentful spirits continuously crashed into it, seemingly trying to escape, but were unable to break free from the Soul Banner's binding.
"It really is the Profound Yellow Merit Fire!"
Were it not for this inherently demonic-restraining divine power fire, these spirits wouldn't be so terrified.
Regarding suppressing resentful spirits, the effects of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire far surpass those of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire still requires burning karmic forces to intimidate resentful spirits, while the Profound Yellow Merit Fire has already instilled fear even before its true use, which naturally delighted Lu Yan.
This meant his goal of suppressing the spirits and reusing the Soul Banner had already been achieved.
The only downside was the wailing of the spirits directly penetrating into his soul, causing Lu Yan some headache, prompting him to shout loudly.
"Silence!"
The next moment, all the ghosts within the Soul Banner fell silent, not daring to utter another word.
Feeling the trembling appearance of the spirits, Lu Yan pondered for a while and dispersed the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, reaching out to touch the Soul Banner.
Without the restraint of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, the spirits within the Soul Banner seemed somewhat restless but, due to the earlier intimidation shown by Lu Yan, did not resist.
Lu Yan easily took hold of the Soul Banner, which was close to the level of a top-grade magical artifact.
"So easily?"
Lu Yan's eyes slightly opened, his expression somewhat incredulous.
It wasn't surprising that he was so astonished; indeed, these spirits' tumult had troubled Lu Yan for too long, so much so that the Profound Yellow Merit Fire had suppressed numerous spirits even before showing its power, leaving Lu Yan with a sense of disbelief.
With a wave of the Soul Banner in his hand, his magical power quickly dissipated, and ninety-eight spirits, along with the main soul, filled the great building.
The spreading ghostly mist enveloped the entire building, making it seem as if it had been dragged into an underworld realm in an instant.
The spirits freed from the Soul Banner roamed casually between floors, surrounded by ghostly mist, with their resentful faces staring directly at Lu Yan.
With the quality of the Soul Banner improved to near top-grade magical artifact level, it had undergone a massive transformation, with the range of ghost mist, and the controlling distance of the spirits significantly increased.
The spirits within the Soul Banner had reached the second layer of Qi Cultivation as soon as the Soul Banner's quality ascended to the top grade, with cultivation comparable to Lu Yan's previous cultivation, which is why Lu Yan found it difficult to suppress the spirits.
When Lu Yan released numerous resentful spirits, these poison-filled ghosts exhibited restless appearances, while the Warrior, serving as the main soul, knelt with awe on its face.
Lu Yan had previously subdued the Warrior, completely winning over this dim-witted main soul.
During these days, thanks to the assistance of the Warrior as the Soul Banner's main soul, Lu Yan could keep the spirits suppressed within the Soul Banner without exposing them to the outside world, preventing the danger from spreading.
At this moment, Lu Yan actively released the spirits, naturally causing anxiety among these spirits, some instinctively attempting to break free from Lu Yan's control.
In the next instant, as if divine majesty descended, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire rose from Lu Yan's left hand.
Under the illumination of the flame, a large area of ghostly mist surrounding Lu Yan melted like snow and ice, with most of the mist in the entire building being pulled back under the pressure of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire.
And in the room, the faces of the spirits transformed from resentment to fear in an instant, trembling and lying on the ground, following the Warrior's example to pay homage to Lu Yan.
The restless, uneasy, and hateful twisted complex emotions calmed in an instant.
Even the Soul Banner in Lu Yan's right hand seemed to sense the threat, voluntarily lowering its aura, as if transforming into a mundane object.
Lu Yan looked down on the over ninety second-layer Qi Cultivation spirits before him, knowing that he had completely mastered this Demonic Soul Banner close to the top-grade magical artifact level.
The Profound Yellow Merit Fire, as a Merit Divine Technique, exceeded Lu Yan's expectations in its restraining effect on demonic spirits.
With the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, Lu Yan no longer needed to worry about whether he could suppress the demonic magical artifact, and could fully employ these spirits to hunt down more zombies, condensing stronger spirits for the Soul Banner.
As long as these spirits couldn't escape the restraint of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, Lu Yan could perfectly control the Soul Banner. At that time, hunting formidable zombies at the peak of Qi Cultivation wouldn't be difficult.
Even when the number of spirits reached hundreds, Lu Yan was confident he could hunt down a Foundation Establishment Corpse King with his Qi Cultivation realm!
