Ghost-Commanding Banner and Essence-Burning Lamp

After a long while, Ling Pengyun finally made a move.

He used his weapon-refining techniques to transform his Divine Sense as Brush, modifying the original spiritual runes and restrictions on the demon banner.

As soon as this step began, the several spiritual runes on the demon banner went berserk.

The existing cracks on the demon banner also grew larger and larger.

It was as if the demon banner would be torn apart by those several spiritual runes the next moment.

Ling Pengyun dared not be careless. He quickly relied on his powerful Divine Sense, which Golden Core Third Layer, to use the "Spirit Suppression Technique" from the weapon refining secrets. He forcefully suppressed the several demonic runes that were raging on the demon banner.

Taking this opportunity, Ling Pengyun quickly used his Divine Sense pen to modify the several demonic runes engraved on the demon banner according to his previous deductions.

Half an hour later, the changes were completed.

The several demonic runes on the demon banner were completely different from before.

The biggest change is the core of those several magical rune restrictions: the "Demonic Pattern Intent".

After the changes, the Demonic Pattern Intent was completely extinguished.

Then, wisps of spiritual energy emerged from the several demonic rune restrictions.

Immediately afterwards, the several restrictions on the demon banner flashed simultaneously, spreading out waves of spiritual energy that completely dispelled the remaining trace of inexplicable evil intent within the demon banner.

Instead, a surge of pure spiritual energy flowed out from within the demon banner.

At this moment, the Fierce Ghost patterns on the demon banner also transformed into animal shapes.

However, the aura of this demonic banner has slightly decreased after it was transformed into a Righteous Path Law Artifact.

It dropped directly from the Magic Treasure Prototype to the Second Rank High Grade level.

"I actually managed to change it."

Ling Pengyun was delighted to see this.

Normally, if Golden Core cultivator were to use their natal fire to temper a Devil Artifact at the Magic Treasure Prototype weapon, it would take at least several years to remove the evil intent from it and transform it into a magic Law Artifact a Righteous Path cultivator could also use.

Demonic Law Artifact contain evil intent. If a cultivator forcibly uses them, that evil intent will enter their body, amplifying the evil thoughts in their heart and causing them to fall into the demonic path.

"It's a bit of a pity that even after temporarily transforming the demon banner into Righteous Path Law Artifact by altering the demonic runes on it, it's still difficult to change the fact that the grade of a demonic weapon will drop after it's transformed into a Righteous Path Devil Artifact Law Artifact."

With a flick of his Daoist robe, he took out a dozen Soul Gathering Bottle from his Storage Bag.

Within these dozen or so soul-collecting chambers were streams of green spiritual light carrying mournful beast roars.

These green lights are souls, but these souls are not ordinary human souls, but the souls of Demon Beast.

While Ling Pengyun was waiting for the Teleportation Array Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World to open, he killed sea Demon Beast to prepare tens of thousands of catties of the Foundation Establishment Realm flesh and blood for his Daoist partner Yan Siyi and Ling Xiaoyan, and also collected the flesh and blood of Qi Training Demon Beast.

Then, Ling Pengyun opened the dozen or so Soul Gathering Bottle and transferred all the Demon Beast souls inside into the "long banner".

As those souls merged with it, the spiritual light on the long banner gradually began to shine.

However, due to the large number of souls that were transferred into the long banner, the Ghost Control Long Banner was unable to refine the souls of those Demon Beast in time, which caused the cracks on the banner to gradually grow larger.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun frowned.

"After this Ghost Control Long Banner becomes a Righteous Path Law Artifact, if its effects remain unchanged, it will still need to be repaired with some second-tier silkworm silk in the future, otherwise it will greatly affect the banner's ability to refine souls."

Second-order silk is quite rare, Ling Pengyun currently does not possess it.

Among the "Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm" raised by the Ling Clan, they were all Qi Training Stage Earth Silk Spirit Silkworm, which could only produce first-tier silk.

Left with no other choice, Ling Pengyun had to transfer his own Divine Sense into the long banner to help it refine the countless souls within.

It was thanks to Ling Pengyun's help that the small cracks on the long banner gradually stabilized and stopped spreading.

About half a month later.

The Ghost Control Long Banner that was floating in the air flashed with spiritual light, spreading out seven massive spiritual energy fluctuations.

Ling Pengyun also waved his hand and channeled a stream of spiritual energy into the Ghost Control Long Banner.

Between Mount Sumeru, seven Mountain Moving Evil Ghost, each over ten feet tall and clad in animal skins, exuding the aura of the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, flew out.

"The appearance of the Mountain Moving Evil Ghost refined from the souls of Demon Beast is somewhat different from that of the Mountain Moving Evil Ghost refined from the souls of mortals. I wonder how powerful these seven Mountain Moving Evil Ghost clad in animal skins are."

Ling Pengyun gazed at the seven beast- Mountain Moving Evil Ghost, each about ten feet tall, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He waved his hand and patted the Beast Taming Pouch, summoning the Black Armored Turtle, which was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

Then, he waved the long banner in his hand, directing the seven Mountain Moving Evil Ghost to attack the Black Armored Turtle with all their might.

During the test, Ling Pengyun quickly learned about the power of the seven Mountain Moving Evil Ghost.

"Each of the seven has the strength of 10,000 jin, which is not bad. If I repair the damage to the long banner, I estimate that the strength of each of the seven Mountain Moving Evil Ghost can be increased by nearly 30%, possessing the strength of 16,000 jin."

"If one cultivates the Demon Profound Ghost Control Art and merges with the aura of this long banner, one can truly unleash the power of this long banner, and the power of the seven Mountain Moving Evil Ghost can also be brought to its limit, each possessing the strength of 20,000 jin."

"Under these circumstances, the Mountain- Mountain Moving Evil Ghost that I modified by refining the soul of Demon Beast is just as powerful as the Mountain Moving Evil Ghost that was refined from the soul of a human when it was still Devil Artifact, which was in the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment."

"The only drawback might be that the Demon Beast's soul is too weak. It requires at least three times the strength of a human soul to refine Mountain Moving Evil Ghost of equal power."

"However, as long as the efficacy of this top-tier mid-level Middle Vehicle Lifebound Magic Item is not diminished, and this banner is not only capable of condensing Mountain Moving Evil Ghost by refining human souls, the value of this banner can be considered quite good."

"Judging from the power of this banner, even a cultivator who has not practiced the Demon Profound Ghost Control Art Technique can unleash seventy or eighty percent of its power, which is comparable to an ordinary Middle Vehicle Lifebound Magic Item of the same level. It is only slightly weaker than the top-grade Lifebound Magic Item, the Azure Sea Icy Cold Flying Sword, in the Azure Sea True Scripture."

"In that case, this Ghost Control Long Banner, made of extraordinary raw materials and originally a prototype of Magic Treasure Prototype, will also be of help to me. In the future, as long as I find third-tier silkworm silk to reforge it and add a Golden Core Demon Beast soul to it, it is not impossible to reforge it to the third tier."

"At that time, with the help of these seven powerful Mountain Moving Evil Ghost, and with my Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl, we will be able to crush our enemies with sheer force."

"In addition, this long banner, which is comparable to an ordinary Middle Vehicle Lifebound Magic Item, can also be equipped to all cultivators of my Ling Clan, becoming the Lineage's signature magic Law Artifact and enhancing the clan's combat power."

Ling Pengyun's lips curled up slightly, his face beaming with joy, as he looked at the seven Mountain Moving Evil Ghost clad in animal skins and commented.

Although this demon banner is the Lifebound Magic Item recorded in the "Demon Profound Ghost Control Art", it has retained a lot of power after being modified by Ling Pengyun. Even ordinary cultivators can use it, but it is not as powerful as that of someone who has cultivated the Demon Profound Ghost Control Art.

After his initial delight, Ling Pengyun put the Ghost Control Long Banner into his Storage Bag.

He closed his eyes and began to circulate his Cultivation Method to absorb the Spiritual Qi within the quiet room, replenishing the Spiritual Qi consumed by modifying the "Ghost Control Long Banner".

Half a day later.

Once Ling Pengyun had recovered to his best condition, he began to modify the "Saint Demon Burning Yuan Lamp," a magical treasure of the third rank and Third Rank Middle Grade.

The demonic energy in this lamp was extremely concentrated. Even the Azure Water True Fire, which is the nemesis of demonic energy, took nearly half a month to completely remove the demonic energy from the lamp.

Modifying the several third-tier magic runes on the surface of this lamp was even more difficult.

Although Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense was comparable to the Golden Core Third Layer, the Ling Clan's weapon-refining inheritance was at least at the second level, and the "Spirit Suppression Technique" recorded in it, which could suppress spirit pattern restrictions, was only at the sixth level.

Even if Ling Pengyun used the sixth level of the Spirit Suppression Technique with the Divine Sense of the Golden Core Third Layer, it would still be quite difficult to suppress those several third-order demonic rune restrictions at the same time.

This made it extremely difficult for Ling Pengyun to modify this Third Rank Middle Grade magic treasure.

There was little spare power to alter the magical runes and restrictions on the magic lamp.

This resulted in a major mistake during the alteration of the several magical runes and restrictions on the magic lamp.

This caused the Saint Demon Burning Yuan Lamp's grade to drop from the Third Rank Middle Grade to the level of Magic Treasure Prototype.

Fortunately, the magic lamp stabilized at the Magic Treasure Prototype and did not continue to decline in quality.

The three magical runes on the magic lamp were transformed into spiritual runes in an instant due to Ling Pengyun's alteration.

"Unfortunately, I will soon be heading to the White Cloud Mountain Range to fight against Demon Beast, so I need to make up for my lack of combat strength."

"Otherwise, if I wait a while longer until I find a third-tier weapon-refining inheritance, I can modify this Third Rank Middle Grade magic lamp and then maintain it at around the Third Rank Low Grade after it has been upgraded to a Righteous Path Law Artifact."

Ling Pengyun looked at the "Dharma Lamp" that was only at the Magic Treasure Prototype and muttered to himself helplessly.

Turning around, Ling Pengyun still used the defensive Black Armored Turtle to test the power of the "Dharma Lamp," which was at the Magic Treasure Prototype.

Because Ling Pengyun did not cultivate the "Saint Demon Art," he could only unleash about 70-80% of the treasure's power.

Even so, this magic lamp still possesses the power of a mid-level natal Lifebound Magic Item Middle Vehicle the same rank. It can be said that the power of this magic lamp is quite good, comparable to the power of the Azure Sea Icy Cold Flying Sword recorded in the Azure Sea True Scripture.

In summary, this magic lamp greatly enhances Ling Pengyun's combat power.

Although Ling Pengyun does not primarily cultivate Fire Element Cultivation Method, he possesses the Five-Element Spirit Root, allowing him to use magical Law Artifact of the five attributes: water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, without any conflict with his Cultivation Method.

This was the only happy thing that happened after Ling Pengyun modified the Dharma lamp, and it also improved Ling Pengyun's mood.

Then, Ling Pengyun took out several Soul Gathering Bottle and poured the souls of hundreds of Qi Training Stage Demon Beast inside onto the Burning Yuan True Fire that had been burning for a long time in the wick of the magic lamp.

The "Burning Yuan Lamp" is a third-tier Law Treasure and already possesses spiritual power.

As soon as it sensed the arrival of a spirit, the flame burning on the wick grew even larger.

If Ling Pengyun hadn't been there, the flame of the lamp wick might have actively swept towards the souls of those Demon Beast.

Just a few breaths later, under Ling Pengyun's control, the souls of those Demon Beast came into contact with the lamp wick, and a miraculous scene unfolded.

The Burning Yuan True Fire surging from within the lamp wick, like a tempering of spiritual objects, continuously burned upon the souls of those Demon Beast, purifying them and transforming them into wisps of pure green mist, which were then absorbed into the body of the Burning Yuan Lamp.

The aura of the Burning Yuan Lamp also increased slightly due to the presence of the hundreds of Demon Beast souls.
