Seeing that the three Great Powers, Fu Xi, Bian, and Pulao, were so generous in teaching the Secret Technique of crafting Soul Artifacts to Yang Yan, the other two Primordial Spirits looked at each other in astonishment.

When they looked at Yang Yan again, their eyes were filled with envy.

As if seeing through their thoughts, the three brothers shared their insights on the Path of Space with them.

As for the Secret Technique taught by the three brothers, Yang Yan couldn’t fully comprehend it, but he understood the most basic aspects.

Crafting a Soul Artifact is merely a matter of injecting a soul into any item, refining it, and bestowing it with the appropriate attributes, even granting it independent consciousness.

If practiced to a profound level, it can nurture an Artifact Spirit, enabling it to act independently and cultivate and grow on its own.

Additionally, Yang Yan learned a method of using condensed Evil Qi as a weapon.

By compressing the Evil Qi into a very small space and then sealing it in certain objects, it can be detonated during combat to achieve unexpected victory.

However, generally, only those with Nascent Soul cultivation can wield the Power of Space.

To them, the method of storing Evil Qi using space is as good as useless.

But for Yang Yan, who has grasped certain Space Laws despite not being at Nascent Soul, it’s incredibly practical, as if tailor-made for him.

During Yang Yan’s learning period, the three Great Powers also discussed among themselves about how precious the Secret Technique was, how sought after it was in the outside world, and the difficulty in mastering it.

They spoke eloquently, saying that even with their extraordinary talents, it would take considerable time to understand it, only to see Yang Yan already stand up, ready to set off.

Pulao couldn’t help but ask, "Did you... truly comprehend it? Or completely comprehend it?"

"Of course, it’s not that difficult," Yang Yan replied with a smile, seemingly anticipating their reaction.

After all, no one present knew that he possessed an exceptional learning talent.

In fact, for him to take this much time, it indicates that these Secret Techniques are indeed challenging.

Upon confirming that Yang Yan truly grasped the essentials of these Secret Techniques, rather than merely having a superficial understanding due to impatience, they were all deeply moved.

Yang Yan didn’t tarry any longer and turned to leave.

In just a short while, Yang Yan left the barrier.

The moment his figure appeared, it immediately attracted a number of Residual Souls.

"Haha! Coming to die so eagerly? Well, since you’re here, I won’t refuse."

Yang Yan operated his Spiritual Power according to the newly comprehended Secret Technique and once again wielded the Devouring Power to absorb the Residual Souls.

This time, he clearly felt a complete difference from before.

Previously, Yang Yan’s speed and quantity in devouring these Residual Souls were far inferior to now.

The earlier comprehension seemed to have elevated him entirely.

At the same time, he also realized that the influx of Residual Souls into his body felt indescribable and mysterious.

Nonetheless, his current goal was to enhance Star Night into a Soul Artifact.

Though it was his first time, Yang Yan’s adept handling was astonishing.

If the three brothers Fu Xi, Bian, and Pulao were present, they might have started swearing.

After a few breaths, Yang Yan had injected all of them into Star Night.

However, the newly devoured ones were far from sufficient.

Relying on the Residual Souls that bumped into him was extremely inefficient.

Thus, with a thought, Yang Yan devised a plan.

His figure flashed quickly, moving wherever the number of Residual Souls was greater.

Thanks to the earlier insights into the Path of Space, his speed was incredibly fast.

These Residual Souls, having no consciousness, surged towards Yang Yan the moment they saw him.

In just a short moment, he was surrounded by Residual Souls.

Due to the snowball effect, Yang Yan didn’t need to deliberately attract them; Residual Souls came rushing continuously.

These Residual Souls had shallow Soul Power, more filled with Evil Qi throughout.

Hence, even though Yang Yan devoured many Residual Souls, the refined Soul Power injected into Star Night was still exceedingly weak.

Instead, the accumulated Evil Qi on Yang Yan kept increasing.

Initially, it was alright as the Evil Qi couldn’t create much turbulence within Yang Yan.

However, as the water accumulates to form an abyss, he eventually had to divide his focus to resist.

This also reduced his devouring efficiency by nearly thirty percent.

Yang Yan felt a pang of frustration but was helpless.

Luckily, Yang Yan also understood that the path of cultivation was bound to be fraught with obstacles, seldom smooth sailing, and only by maintaining a steady mind and constantly seeking solutions could he find the right strategy.

Thus, Yang Yan injected the Residual Souls into Star Night while operating his Spiritual Power as described in the Secret Technique to begin condensing the corroding Evil Qi.

Until he felt he couldn’t condense any further, he stored it temporarily in the storage bags provided by the sect.

Yang Yan had long mastered Void Storage, so certain storage Magical Artifacts were still empty, never having been used.

As time passed, the number of devoured Residual Souls increased, and the Evil Qi around Yang Yan became noticeably more significant.

From the rare few faint red threads of Evil Qi at the start, gradually dispersing to faint red mist, rising to a thick red fog.

There were even a few strands of Evil Qi that couldn’t be fully condensed and dispersed towards space.

Above Yang Yan’s head, a vortex subtly formed, where countless Residual Souls submerged, constantly devoured and condensed through the operation of the Secret Technique.

This was Yang Yan’s first attempt at crafting an item, with no prior experience, yet he was trying to craft two types simultaneously, a feat only he, with the Flawless Divine Body, could attempt.

To others, this was undoubtedly courting death.

However, Yang Yan was by no means ordinary; naturally, he couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards.

Of course, even for the extraordinarily gifted Yang Yan, undertaking such high-intensity work was a test requiring him to concentrate completely and exert his utmost effort.

Earlier, he had discovered an interesting Residual Soul, which, when faced with Yang Yan’s Devouring Power, suddenly attempted to escape.

Through observation, Yang Yan realized that this Residual Soul was also unconscious.

Realizing this, Yang Yan intended to get to the bottom of it to understand the situation.

Each time it was about to be devoured, Yang Yan meticulously stopped the devouring at the right moment.

Once it collided with Yang Yan, it seemed stunned, circling in place, only for Yang Yan to resume the devouring.

Initially, Yang Yan was having fun, considering playing out a "Seven Captures of Meng Huo," but by the third round, he found it somewhat uncontrollable.

With no choice left, he had to gather his thoughts and focus on the crafting.

After continuously crafting at high intensity for quite a while, Yang Yan felt a rare exhaustion, a strong wave of fatigue overcame him, causing dizziness and instability.

He shook his head helplessly, being compelled to take some elixirs to replenish his strength.

Nevertheless, Yang Yan recognized that continuing like this was not feasible, and thus a bold notion emerged in his mind.

Dealing with the accumulated Evil Qi within his body, Yang Yan considered using his own Evil Qi to counter it, thereby alleviating the pressure.

Once the idea appeared in his mind, it lingered.

He gritted his teeth and, embracing a trial attitude, gave it a shot.

"How come... there’s still no reaction..."
