This guy actually named himself "Devouring Void Master."

High-end, domineering, straightforward.

This was its brief commentary on the name.

Yang Yan naturally wouldn’t agree to this title.

Obviously having formed a master-servant contract with himself, does he have to call it "Master" every single time from now on?

Moreover, when one’s strength is insufficient, revealing one’s background and such is undoubtedly courting trouble.

Thus, in the end, the Primordial Spirit reluctantly accepted the name "Hu" after Yang Yan gave it a good thrashing.

At the same time, it also promised Yang Yan not to reveal its racial secrets until it reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

"Alright, let’s get to business!"

After the naming dispute, Yang Yan suddenly became serious, solemnly telling Hu his conjectures and proposed using Hu’s power of space to send him inside.

Fortunately, Hu’s strength had recovered to the equivalent of the peak Foundation Establishment, and its mastery of the power of space could rival that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

After personally probing a bit, it indicated that the repelling problem wasn’t major, allowing Yang Yan to breathe a sigh of relief for now.

However, even though the objective obstacles were solved, the matter was delayed by some subjective factors.

Hu was obstinate in refusing to let Yang Yan ride on its back.

To break through the space repulsion with Yang Yan, they must remain close together, with Hu leading all actions.

And to avoid hindering Hu, Yang Yan naturally thought of riding on Hu’s back to let it carry him through.

But he never imagined that this behavior was a great humiliation to Hu and its kind, the Void Devouring Race, so much so that it would rather challenge the constraints of the soul contract than bear such an insult.

Seeing this, Yang Yan couldn’t force it anymore.

But having reached this critical juncture, should he abandon halfway?!

The truth was just a step away, and besides, I, Yang Yan, am not at the end of my wits, what reason do I have to retreat?!

With Hu unable to do more, what can I still do myself!

Thinking from a reverse angle, Yang Yan suddenly had a bright idea.

It only required them to be close together, not necessarily riding on its back...

Actually, if Yang Yan was willing to sacrifice his image a bit and let Hu carry him in its mouth, it wasn’t impossible.

Then, this man and tiger went ahead and did just that.

And naturally, they succeeded, the process surprisingly smooth.

There were no anomalies accompanying the collapse of the space passage, nor were any mechanisms activated.

They swaggered into the top of the tower, and without suspense, found the spatial spiritual treasure Yang Yan had guessed.

This spatial spiritual treasure, shaped still like a tower, was identical to the tower it was placed in, except for its vastly different size.

It’s like a miniature version of the whole tower outside.

"This should be the spatial spiritual treasure that trapped you, right?"

Yang Yan murmured to himself.

He was rather amazed that such a vast space was contained within such a small tower.

Once everything is resolved, if this spatial spiritual treasure can be taken, wouldn’t that be...

Yang Yan slightly shook his head, quickly dispelling the thought.

It’s hard enough to even approach it, let alone subdue it.

The immediate priority was fulfilling his promise quickly.

If this spatial spiritual treasure is broken, then those trapped inside should be freed, right?

Without further ado, Yang Yan picked up Star Night and slashed towards the small tower.

However, regardless of how much force he used or what spiritual power he infused, he couldn’t affect this treasure at all.

Instead, it was the whole outer tower that began to rumble loudly.

After several futile rounds, Yang Yan realized this tower-shaped spatial spiritual treasure might require unconventional means to deal with.

Since it’s a spatial spiritual treasure, testing it with the power of space might work.

"Hu, hit it!"

Since the power of space was needed, Yang Yan didn’t think much and simply handed the responsibility over to Hu of the Void Devouring Race.

However, Hu remained motionless, staring intently at the tower-shaped treasure, saying nothing.

A while later, Hu gasped in surprise, exclaiming, "This is... a Reinforcement Array!"

After examining the treasure for a while, Hu seemed to have figured it out, explaining to Yang Yan, "No wonder such a tall building is used to house this treasure!"

"I understand now, this whole tower outside is the dwelling of this treasure, used to protect and enhance the tower’s spiritual power!"

"To move this treasure, the entire tower must be destroyed!"

"And if my memory serves, since the treasure has a dwelling, there must be arrays and other restrictions."

With each sentence Hu finished, Yang Yan’s face grew more somber.

He originally thought returning outside would make things much easier, but this situation turned out more challenging by the minute!

"Building a tower to house a spatial treasure, and applying array restrictions... Tut tut! What grandeur!"

Upon hearing the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit’s lament, Yang Yan couldn’t help but say, "Hu, you better investigate thoroughly before speaking!"

Unfortunately, the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit merely chuckled, not bothering to respond to Yang Yan.

After a brief moment of surprise, Yang Yan calmed down and thought a bit more, seemingly understanding something.

Regardless of the origins of this treasure, needing such a grand arrangement to house it meant its ancient legacy remaining intact in this Demon Cave raised suspicions.

"Why would a spatial treasure need a dwelling for protection and array restrictions?" Yang Yan was truly perplexed, so he asked again.

But the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit still didn’t respond to him.

Yang Yan didn’t press further, furrowing his brow in continued contemplation.

Spatial treasure and small secret realm differ; the latter, upon destruction, expels everything inside into the void, followed by annihilation.

Whereas the former, once damaged, spills out all contained items without being impacted.

In other words, typically, spatial treasures require no protection at all.

But this design defying convention can only mean there’s more than meets the eye!

This tower should indeed be the spatial treasure that previously trapped him...

The Primordial Spirits said it was meant for storage but was corrupted by evil Qi, not only locking the interior but also uncontrollably transporting individuals entering the Demon Cave into it...

Yet now, he can’t break the seal from outside, nor destroy the treasure, or even approach due to repulsion.

Such behavior doesn’t resemble being out of control, but rather appears premeditated!

It feels as if a critical element is missing, preventing him from seeing through the situation!

But where exactly does this crucial element lie?

In just a brief instant, Yang Yan deduced several steps until the known clues were exhausted.

Had he known it was so complex, he should’ve gathered more information beforehand!
