Such unfathomable power was far beyond even the Sword Sect Master, yet he actually needed Adam to help eliminate someone.

Adam did not agree immediately. "Old gentleman must be joking."

"Your Daoist methods reach the heavens. If it’s a figure that even you cannot deal with, what could this one’s meager tricks possibly do?"

The old gentleman smiled, saying somewhat helplessly, "It’s not that this old Daoist is unwilling to act, but due to certain restrictions, I truly cannot make a move."

"However, little friend Adam can rest assured. With your methods, eliminating this person is not impossible."

"This person is inherently a figure of great evil and wickedness. If you can help this old Daoist eliminate him, not only will you be doing me a massive favor, but you will also be carrying out the Dao on behalf of the heavens."

Hearing these words, the worries in Adam’s heart settled down. "Old gentleman, who exactly is it that you want me to eliminate?"

The old gentleman stroked his whitening beard and smiled. "The Sect Master of the Silver Willow Demonic Sect."

"Who? The Sect Master of the Silver Willow Demonic Sect!"

A flash of horror passed through Adam’s eyes. He never expected the person the old gentleman wanted eliminated was the Demonic Sect Master.

The Demonic Sect Master was a figure from a thousand years ago, his peerless aptitude was not the slightest bit inferior to the founding Emperor Solaris, his demonic techniques were absolutely unparalleled, making him the true number one person in Silver Willow over the past millennium.

However, a thousand years ago, the Demonic Sect Master had already been eliminated by Solaris, who allied with Raiden and several other Mortal Supremes of that era.

A look of confusion appeared on Adam’s face. "Old gentleman, didn’t the Demonic Sect Master die a thousand years ago?"

The old gentleman shook his head, a profound look in his eyes. Staring at Adam, he said slowly, word by word.

"A thousand years ago, Solaris did not completely kill the Demonic Sect Master. Now, after a thousand years of recuperation, he is almost fully recovered."

"What? The Demonic Sect Master didn’t die, and is now almost fully recovered?"

To Adam, this news was no less than a bolt from the blue.

That battle a thousand years ago was not recorded in much detail in Silver Willow’s historical records.

It was only brushed over with a few strokes, as if they were unwilling to discuss it openly.

However, some texts concerning the Demonic Sect Master were recorded in great detail, so Adam had a fairly good understanding of him.

Unlike Solaris, who rose step by step from humble beginnings, eventually growing powerful enough to step into the Heaven and Earth Deity realm and found Silver Willow, no one knew where the Demonic Sect Master came from.

He seemed to appear out of thin air, but the moment he appeared in the lands of the Silver Willow dynasty, he was already a Heaven and Earth Deity.

Ever since his appearance, the Demonic Sect Master launched an inhumane massacre against all living beings in the land.

If not for the sudden, meteoric rise of powerhouses like Solaris and Raiden, every living creature on the soil of Silver Willow would have perished.

A trace of hesitation flickered in Adam’s eyes, although the condition the old gentleman offered was enticing, the price was also tremendous.

The Demonic Sect Master was the most powerful figure in Silver Willow’s millennium history.

Now that he had awakened, even if he had not returned to his peak state, recovering to eighty or ninety percent meant his strength would absolutely not be weaker than the nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors.

Furthermore, the Demonic Sect had been lying dormant for a thousand years.

Over this millennium, who knew how many Great Archfiends and old monsters at the Mortal Supreme level the sect had birthed? There were likely several existences at the Proving the Dao level.

The Demonic Sect Master was not fighting alone. He also controlled the Demonic Sect, which possessed extremely profound foundations.

Currently, Adam was merely an Entering the Dao existence.

Although he was only a paper-thin distance from stepping into Mastering the Dao, even if he achieved that, he might not be a match for a Deity-realm Demonic Sect Master in a one-on-one fight, let alone when factoring in the unfathomably deep Demonic Sect.

Unless he could step into the Proving the Dao realm.

At that point, not only would he be invincible among Mortal Supremes, but even among First Heaven Deities, there would not be many who could match him.

The old gentleman saw the hesitation on Adam’s face and increased the stakes.

"Little friend Adam, if you can eliminate this person for me, I can give you one mythological text like the Primordial Heavenly Demon Ranking every seven days. What do you think?"

One book every seven days! Adam’s heart was moved.

From just one Primordial Heavenly Demon Ranking, he had comprehended a full thirty-six Great Divine Abilities.

These thirty-six had brought an earth-shattering transformation to his strength, his ability to possess power far surpassing his peers relied completely on them.

If he received a mythological text on par with the ranking every seven days, he would never have to worry about cultivation techniques again.

These techniques would be enough to cultivate to an extremely profound realm.

Noticing the obvious temptation on Adam’s face, the old gentleman added the final piece of fuel to the fire.

"Adam, even if you do not agree to this old man’s request, it won’t be long before you still engage in a life-and-death struggle with this Demonic Sect Master."

Ignoring the confusion in Adam’s eyes, the old gentleman asked. "Adam, don’t you find it strange? This Demonic Sect Master has a mysterious origin. No one knows where he came from. It’s as if he appeared out of thin air."

"Every powerhouse between heaven and earth rose from humble beginnings and has a traceable path. Such as Silver Willow’s founding Emperor Solaris, or the Pill King of his generation, Raiden. Only this person appeared out of thin air."
