The Primordial Spirit of the Void-Devouring Tiger Race was the most familiar to Yang Yan among all the Primordial Spirits. It approached Yang Yan with a smile and said:

"We tested your strength earlier; although it’s not at the Golden Core level, it surpasses Golden Core quite a bit. Lord Pulao only spoke as he did because he hadn’t seen your capabilities before."

In truth, Yang Yan didn’t really intend to have a quarrel with these three characters; taking advantage of the opportunity, he let the matter slide.

The three great Primordial Spirits were actually very interested in Yang Yan, and ignoring unrelated individuals, they began discussing serious matters with him.

Yang Yan informed them roughly of external matters: the creatures of the Land of the North Cold had been infected by Evil Qi, he had followed various sect members to enter this place, and they were mysteriously transported here from the Demon Cave.

The three descendants of the Dragon Race learned that among outsiders, the highest cultivation realm is the Golden Core Realm, which made them show the same disdain as the Primordial Spirit of the Void-Devouring Tiger Race. However, they soon became anxious.

According to them, the Evil Qi covering the Demon Cave and this area was only a very small fraction that escaped from suppression.

In a short period, though it can’t infect everyone, over time, these intruders will end up like those creatures, losing their minds and becoming puppets to the Evil Qi.

And now, the previously reinforced Suppressing Power is loosening, and these Evil Qi are showing signs of explosion.

Once the Suppressing Power completely collapses and the Evil Qi fully erupts, the entire Land of the North Cold will be utterly eroded.

When the time comes, even those at the Golden Core Realm will barely be able to protect themselves, and the Land of the North Cold will inevitably become a human purgatory, a thousand miles of scorched earth.

Upon understanding the situation, Yang Yan furrowed his brows slightly but maintained a calm front and asked, "Do you have any solutions?"

Bian flashed a bitter smile, "In our slumber, the three of us have actually comprehended some Space Laws, and fortuitously, the Power of Space allows us to attempt communication with this space, discovering that this place is inside a Spatial Spiritual Treasure."

"After we individually communicated, we found that this Spiritual Treasure was supposed to shelter objects within it, yet now it appears itself has been eroded by Evil Qi, preventing free entry and exit."

"Thus, even though the inside is sealed, it uncontrollably transports objects from the outside world into here."

"If the three of us exerted the Power of Space together, we might temporarily tear open portions of the space sealed by this Spiritual Treasure, theoretically allowing escape."

"However, currently, we only have our Primordial Spirits, with inadequate strength and no mastery of the Path of Space, so we can’t guarantee success."

"Giving it our all, we might transmit everyone outside but we would exhaust ourselves, reverting to Primordial Spirit Pearls, thereby truly at mercy of others. Hence we hope you won’t hold grudges and save us from this dire situation."

Yang Yan observed the strands of plea in Bian’s helpless gaze before nodding and promising:

"Since I’ve encountered this matter, I won’t stand idly by. Rest assured, I will do my utmost to help you escape this place."

"However, you should at least attempt something; you can’t just sit around and wait for death."

Pulao let out a rueful laugh, somewhat self-deprecating as he said, "We’re aware that continuing like this spells doom. But alas, we have no other way."

"You may not know, but over the years, countless attempts have been made by the Primordial Spirits inside the barrier, all resulting in failure, with heavy casualties and great losses."

Hearing this, Yang Yan nodded knowingly and refrained from saying more.

Afterward, the three brothers requested Yang Yan to eliminate the Primordial Spirits outside the barrier before departing, and informed him that although they couldn’t be absorbed, the Residual Souls and Evil Qi could be used for other purposes if harnessed properly.

Already having absorbed several Residual Souls before, Yang Yan was naturally aware of the benefits therein, but even without this, he would not turn a blind eye.

After a brief contemplation, Yang Yan agreed to their request.

To earn their trust, Yang Yan specially demonstrated his comprehension of some Void Storage techniques, such as Small Shifting and other aspects of the Path of Space.

The originally uneasy three brothers were taken aback and their confidence surged tremendously upon witnessing this.

Yang Yan informed them that once the opening was torn open, he could leave on his own, and promised to investigate the causes and origin of the Evil Qi proliferation.

"We didn’t expect your understanding of the Path of Space to have reached such a state, we three brothers are humbled, absolutely humbled!"

At this moment, even Pulao, who initially harbored some misgivings towards Yang Yan, finally bowed his head and marveled.

Yang Yan responded with a nonchalant smile.

In this world, the strong consume the weak, and fists decide everything.

With sufficient strength, even the most arrogant Pulao had to acquiesce.

Just as Yang Yan was preparing to set out, Bian suddenly recalled something and spoke up:

"We also ask you to eliminate all the Primordial Spirits here. We need to sustain the barrier, and as Primordial Spirits, they are more easily corrupted, doomed to perish sooner or later, so better to end it early."

Yang Yan chuckled dryly and admitted candidly, "Truth be told, with my current strength, completely cleansing them might be impractical."

This was not Yang Yan being modest or shirking work.

Realistically, the task was not easy.

Like a level 1 hero in League of Legends, trying to kill countless enemy minions without allied minions or defensive towers is ultimately challenging.

Yazi, Bian, and Pulao looked at each other.

After pondering for a moment, they acknowledged Yang Yan’s point, realizing it was indeed a difficult request.

Later, the three brothers gave Yang Yan some cultivation insights and told him that despite the Evil Qi preventing direct absorption, these souls could be used to craft Soul Artifacts.

This unexpectedly delighted Yang Yan.

Everyone knows the might of Soul Artifacts and the evil nature of the Refining Secret Technique, traditionally despised by the righteous.

But the current situation fits the bill.

Outside, some Demon Dao practitioners often slaughter ordinary people to extract Life Souls, using them in conjunction with secret techniques to craft Soul Artifacts.

With so many Residual Souls before him, rather than letting them be polluted, why not utilize them and absorb them to refine lethal weapons?

Though Yang Yan wasn’t lacking in Spiritual Treasures, one can never have too many good things.

Even if not for his own use, those around him would need such specialized Magical Artifacts.

The area here is extremely cold, with so many Primordial Spirits gathered, and the Evil Qi concentration is imaginable,

Evil Qi can be refined and consolidated into pearls, enhancing the grade of Soul Artifacts, transforming them into lethal weapons.

Upon stumbling upon this secret technique, Yang Yan immediately felt sufficiently motivated.

Now, his demand for Primordial Spirits is inexhaustible; as long as he has enough time, he can spend efforts to clear out all the Primordial Spirits here.

In this manner, after spending over an hour familiarizing himself with the secret techniques imparted by the three brothers, he eagerly prepared to clear these Residual Souls.
