After focusing his Spiritual Energy on trying to manifest it into the form of a beast, no matter how much Ye Qian tried, but the flame in his palm would not change it's shape and only continued to remain and flutter like a normal flame.
Ye Qian was aware that his current cultivation was barely enough for his summon for the Pridid Bull to last for even half a minute, but given the strength of Pridid Bull, Ye Qian was sure that within time it would turn into nothing, the danger upon Yuan Meng would also be turned into nothing.
But, no matter how much he tried to focus and try to manifest the Pridid Bull, it was as if the soul of the Bull was not perceiving his call at all.
Once the Fire of Pridid was practised, as one's strength grew and along with it their understanding about the Laws Of Pridid, within one's consciousness, would appear the Sacred Pridid Beast totems.
And right now, deep within Ye Qian's consciousness, he could see that there were a total of 7 totems which signified a total of 7 different beast-like pictures.
First was a totem with a face which resembled more like a rat with its two incisors and few moustaches, but unlike a normal ear of a rat, the ears on the totem were shaped like flames of fire and even the eyes looked to be two drops of fire.
Then there was a Dog's face on the second totem with its canines, ears and eyes flaring with fire.
Followed by a Swan like beast with a long neck, but the wings and body were made like flames.
Then the fourth was the Snake which had its tongue out, but all of the snake's body seemed to be made of fire and very much resembles the one which had engulfed and coiled around Ye Qian a few days ago.
Then there was a bird-like creature on the fifth totem with its eyes and claws too sharp and made of fire.
Following it was a bird similar to that of the swan but its beautiful flutter of feathers resembled a peacock.
Although the carving on the totem looked very beautiful, it also gave a threatening and peer pressure to one, if they were to ever see it.
And then was the last totem which seemed to be sparking for some reason, but it had a bull's face along with a total of 4 horns on its head.
Seeing this within his consciousness, Ye Qian frowned in his heart.
It was because, unlike before, there was something off with all of these totems which were present within the deepest part of his consciousness.
The fire in the eyes of all of these totems which would normally be flaring with a dense fire had vanished and in it was just a small flame which could barely be called as a fire.
Ye Qian's frown deepened, but he didn't have the time to continue thinking and trying to understand the reason behind this anomaly.
Even the first totem which he had got was about 5000 years ago which was the Totem of Pridid Rat, and it was also the weakest, but even that didn't have the same flare within its eyes.
It was as if the souls of these Pridid Beasts has somehow been locked by something.
Ye Qian quickly regained his sense as he redirected most of the Spiritual Energy which he had already used to summon the Pridid Fire and knowing that the summoning would not work now, he directed the Pridid Fire towards his palm.
Even if he would not be able to summon any of the Pridid Beasts, the flame in his hand was still the Fire of Pridid.
A fire purely formed by teh god of death in order to purify the evil of the world.
If the Fire of Pridid sensed that anything wrong was done by the evil soul, then it would only be a matter of time before it would be decimated into the deepest annals of the world to never even reincarnate again.
Of course, there was no soul who would not have done anything bad and could be said as bad.
In fact, even the children would not know if what they did was even good or bad.
In fact, if the Fire Of Pridid was to burn everything that might have done evil, then absolutely nothing would have remained in this world.
But General Xue could definitely not be said to as a good person knowing that he had in fact killed several thousand with his own hands and many more under his orders.
Ye Qian's fist was completely wrapped in a bright scarlet flame which gave a feeling of fascination as well as dread.
But if one were to look at his face then one would notice that with each moment that passed, Ye Qian's face continued to warp with pain.
In fact, there was even a trail of blood that had started to leak from the corner of his lips.
Of course, one would only notice that.
As for Ye Qian, he knew that right now, his whole mouth was filled with blood as he tried not to cough it out.
He knew that the moment he coughed the blood from his mouth, he would feel a pang of weakness coming from every part of his body.
And at that time, he didn't know whether he would still be able to remain conscious or not.
It was because right now, not only was Ye Qian using more than the amount of Spiritual Energy that he could muster but in fact, just at the last moment when he would have to direct the Spiritual Energy, the injury that Ye Qian had healed last night had once again gotten worse.
And the pain that assaulted not only his dantian but also his soul was not any different than being priced by several needles in his arms.
But Ye Qian knew that the moment he lost sense, Yuan Meng's life would be in danger.
