Chapter 147: Chapter 147

"I do. I want access to the Silver Willow Martial Pagoda. Also, I want you to gather mythological texts from all over the dynasty for me. I will return to read them whenever I have time!"

Adam stated directly, this had been his goal all along.

"Mythological texts?" Oswin was stunned, he understood the Silver Willow Martial Pagoda, it housed the entire dynasty’s martial arts collection.

But what use could mythological texts, books meant for light reading and relieving boredom, possibly have?

"Well, that’s life. One can’t always be cultivating, fighting, and killing. You have to relieve the boredom somehow, right?" Adam smiled faintly, deliberately glossing over his true intentions.

"That’s true. Very well, since Brother Adam has requested it, I will definitely see it done!" Oswin didn’t think much of it, Adam’s words made perfect sense, a life purely of cultivation and killing would be far too dull.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Adam headed straight to the Silver Willow Martial Pagoda.

As the most important martial arts place of the former Silver Willow Dynasty, it was now heavily guarded by Oswin’s men.

Adam proceeded directly to the seventh floor, the number of books on this floor was pitifully small.

There were only three treasure chests engraved with formations, designed to prevent the texts from aging and preserve them for tens of thousands of generations.

Their primary purpose, however, was protection.

Without the proper token, these formations could not be forcefully breached.

Otherwise, they would instantly destroy the secret manuals stored inside.

Adam took out the token Oswin had given him and easily unsealed the formations.

In truth, he could have opened them even without the token. In front of him, these formations were mere child’s play.

Upon opening the first treasure chest, Adam instantly lost all interest.

It was the technique passed down through generations of the Silver Willow Imperial Family, capable of allowing one to cultivate up to the Heaven and Earth Deity realm.

The Adam of the past might have been thrilled, but the current him did not think much of it.

Opening the second treasure chest, Adam’s eyes lit up slightly.

Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture!

This was some good stuff.

Although it was also a cultivation technique capping out at the Heaven and Earth Deity realm, it contained an incredibly useful technique allowing one to alter their physical appearance and personal aura at will.

When Adam picked up the secret manual, however, he raised an eyebrow.

It was an incomplete copy.

Only the first half, a biographical account, was fully recorded.

The second half containing the actual cultivation technique had mostly been torn away.

But to him, this did not matter at all.

Adam flipped through it, his heart filled with endless shock.

It was actually him!

The owner of this Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture was actually him!

During the Fifth Heaven and Earth Upheaval, there was a figure who brought massive terror to the Vast Azure Region.

No one knew his identity, he didn’t even have a specific name.

The world simply called him the Face Ghost.

The facial skin of everyone he killed would be torn off by him.

His killings followed no pattern, whether it was a Heaven and Earth Deity or a common street vendor, taking a life seemed to be just a matter of whim.

Orthodox sects had once joined forces to encircle and annihilate him.

In the end, they achieved absolutely nothing.

Fundamentally, no one knew who he was.

Unless he showed himself willingly, no one knew where he was either, he was exactly like a ghost.

That was why he earned the name Face Ghost.

Later on, he seemingly vanished from the mortal realm without a trace, never to be seen again. Adam had only read sparse details about him in historical records.

Yet the first few pages of this secret manual were actually his autobiography.

On a night of torrential rain, Face Ghost disguised himself as an incredibly ordinary man, he was in a brothel, listening to the music.

A cup of clear sake slid down his throat.

Suddenly, the dancer swaying her graceful figure to the zither music froze, a burly man had abruptly appeared before her.

It was none other than the first Emperor of the Silver Willow dynasty.

He swept his gaze over everyone in the brothel, declaring that he knew Face Ghost was among them, he demanded Face Ghost step forward and hand over the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture.

Otherwise, he would kill one person with every step, until everyone in the brothel was dead.

After saying that, he directly crushed the dancer’s head, fresh blood splattered everywhere.

Everyone was instantly plunged into sheer terror.

They tried to flee, but an invisible barrier blocked their path.

Face Ghost wanted to shatter it, but he sensed several auras outside the brothel no weaker than the Emperor’s.

This forced him to continue hiding among the crowd.

But the Emperor truly began to kill one person with every step. Innocent blood dyed half his face red, he looked even more like a ghost than Face Ghost himself.

In the end, left with no choice, Face Ghost revealed himself and engaged in a massive battle against the Emperor and his forces.

He was outmatched, but before falling, he destroyed the second half of the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture.

[You have witnessed the life of the Face Ghost.]

[Your comprehension is God-Tier. You have comprehended the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture.]

Adam’s heart was filled with endless emotion.

Although the incomparably cruel Face Ghost recorded in the historical texts eventually died at the hands of the brilliantly radiant hero praised in those same texts, the methods used by this so-called hero were even more cruel than a ghost’s.

Could such a person still be called a hero?

[Immersing yourself within it, you have completely comprehended all the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture.]

As the system’s voice faded, Adam had completely mastered the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture.

With a thought, his chiseled face began to change, his originally handsome visage instantly became ordinary.

The aura on his body became no different from that of a mortal.

This breath-concealing technique was different. It completely altered his aura, rather than simply hiding it.

Adam touched his own face, this divine ability is truly the unparalleled choice for murder and looting!
