Of course, the banner crafted by Zuo Ci does not possess such great power; at least, it cannot harm the Old Celestial Master in secret. Otherwise, what would be the point of cultivation? One could simply inscribe the names of the strongest beings of the age onto the banner, declaring their deaths. Zuo Ci would be invincible. 0
 
However, its power is limited, confined to those below the Tongjing level. This banner is also known as the Wan Hun Fan, capable of capturing Ling Ti to recreate the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation once wielded by the Tongtian Jiao Master. Yet, if Zuo Ci were to invoke it, it would be referred to as the Wan Hun Formation. 0
 
The Wan Hun Fan serves as a main banner, while the Lu Hun Fan is a sub-banner crafted by Zuo Ci using a fraction of its power, primarily for combat. Oni Yama, revered as one of the Great Tengu and one of the Three Great Ancestor Gods of the Eastern Land, possesses immense strength that needs no further elaboration. Even if he hasn't reached the level of the Old Celestial Master, he is still formidable enough to be worthy of being included in the banner. 0
 
The main soul of the Wan Hun Fan is eternally limited to six. Unless a powerful soul consumes the main soul and becomes a new one, Zuo Ci does not mind what that main soul may be. He has set up formations within his Wan Hun Fan to stimulate and provoke Ling Ti to devour each other. This method is akin to nurturing insects and can also be applied to nurturing souls. As a result, only the strongest souls will remain. 0
 
Zuo Ci looked at Oni Yama and grinned, saying, "There are not many methods in Dao; Nan Chen penetrates Bei He. With just one word, all worldly demons shall be subdued. Oni Yama, why not come forth?" He inscribed the four characters "Sarutahiko no Mikoto" in blood upon his triangular banner. This is Oni Yama's true name. 0
 
In the Eastern Kingdom, this name is taboo. Adults strictly forbid children from chanting Oni Yama's true name. If summoned, he would abduct children for blood sacrifice. Such incidents occur frequently throughout the Eastern Kingdom. They refer to this phenomenon as the Shinbiri Phenomenon. 0
 
The Shinbiri Phenomenon predominantly affects children. Since ancient times, whenever a child goes missing without explanation, villagers would ring bells and beat drums, calling out names in search. If they cannot be found after thorough searching, it is deemed that the Shinbiri Phenomenon has occurred; the missing child must have been taken by deities such as Yatengu (mountain monsters), fox spirits, mountain hags, ghosts, or fairies. 0
 
 
In reality, Shin'en is not something that only happens to children; adults often encounter it as well. It is generally believed that Yatengu enjoy teasing children, fox spirits love to play tricks on men, and Gui Yao take pleasure in tormenting women. In ancient Eastern Japan folklore, Shin'en was considered an important conduit for communication between humans and the supernatural world. 0
 
Broadly speaking, there are four types of outcomes from Shin'en experiences. The first is returning safely while still remembering the process. The second is returning safely but forgetting what happened. The third involves the discovery of a body. The fourth is complete silence, leaving one to wonder about life or death. 0
 
Suddenly, the monk-like visage of Oni Yama turned somber. Watching the long banner in Zuo Ci's hand, which emitted a dark aura, he felt an inexplicable sense of dread. In the depths of his being, it seemed that some terrifying power was brewing. 0
 
He chose not to speak further; instead, his wings fluttered behind him as two small tornadoes of lightning surged forth from Zuo Ci. While inscribing Oni Yama's true name in blood, Zuo Ci held the Nine-section Staff and lightly tapped the two lightning tornadoes. 0
 
Forbidden Technique! 0
 
The ripples of Apricot Yellow flickered as they enveloped the lightning tornadoes, causing them to instantly dissipate. He had set his sights on the Azure Wind Fan in Oni Yama's hand. If Zuo Ci was not mistaken, it was not his own power that had just torn apart his Moving Mountain Technique; rather, it was the ability attached to that Azure Wind Fan. 0
 
The Azure Wind Fan could absorb Spell power and reflect part of that power back. Otherwise, unless one was a Tongjing-level Earth Immortal like the Old Celestial Master, it would be impossible to break through the Moving Mountain Technique without relying solely on cultivation to evade it. The connection between mountains and water is not something to be taken lightly. 0
 
 
That belongs to the National Fortune. It is far beyond what any cultivation can contend with. 0
