At the snow-clad peak, Song Yan held the Faceless Mask. Even though he had already thoroughly scanned it with his Divine Sense, he still dared not put on this type of treasure mask lightly. Therefore, he spent more time moving toward the edge of the Evil Land, looking for a suitable person to help him test the mask.

Whenever he could mitigate risk by passing time, he would persistently do so.

On this day, with the first clear skies after the snow, a mysterious village faintly emerged in the distance. The autumn straw stacks covered in snow were no taller than a person's height, settled in the golden, warm sunlight, exuding a cozy charm.

Children ran around the stacks, their faces rosy, throwing snowballs with laughter echoing from afar...

This scene suddenly calmed Song Yan, an inexplicable lightness filled his heart, and a joyful smile appeared on his lips.

But then he couldn't help but wonder, why is there a mortal village here?

After a moment of reflection, he suddenly realized that he had long crossed the entirety of the Evil Land along with its mountains and had arrived on the other side of the Ghost Slaughter Sect.

This was a place known as "Nanhua City."

Calling it "Nanhua City" might be unfamiliar, but if one said it was where the Southern Sect of the Thousand Crane Sect was established, it would be much more well-known.

The Thousand Crane Sect is the National Guardian Sect of Chu Kingdom; the Northern Sect is based in the Imperial Capital. Even though the Southern Sect was only attempting establishment, it would only do so in a large city in Chu Kingdom situated on a Profound Vein.

This city is Nanhua City.

Unknowingly, he had arrived here.

Song Yan shook his head, not believing that there was anyone here "suitable to help him test the Faceless Mask."

But holding onto a sense of possibility, he released his Divine Sense and started searching while walking.

...

In a dim little grove.

Three demon cultivators gazed toward the distant city while exchanging ideas quickly.

"The Thousand Crane Sect wants to establish a sect here; did they ask us?"

"Though the Demon Cultivator Alliance is powerful, we can't allow this Thousand Crane Sect to rise!"

"I've heard that the old ancestor of the Ghost Slaughter Sect is incredibly generous, rewarding anyone who accomplishes something significantly. Why don't we lay an ambush around Nanhua City to see if we can catch a lone wanderer? We can interrogate them about the city's situation, which would count as a great deed."

"Great idea, it's not hard to do, sooner or later someone will do it, but if we act first, we'll surely be rewarded. Heh heh heh..."

"Everyone, be alert and see which unfortunate soul comes out soon. If none, let's capture a nice Furnace..."

Before the words could finish, they were unable to continue.

Because suddenly, a person clad in a Profound Robe appeared before the three demon cultivators.

Wrapped in a face-covering cloak, just appearing made the three unable to breathe or move, as if frozen.

But what froze them was not the cold, but a shiver emanating from their Divine Souls.

To them, the terrifying awe was beyond the King, resembling a Demon God.

The Demon God threw out a mask.

The demon cultivators, almost involuntarily, caught it.

The Demon God said calmly, "Put it on."

The demon cultivator dared not, yet the words of the Demon God seemed to have an enchanting force; he didn't dare disobey, not even daring to utter a few words of plea.

Fear and awe had already caused him to lose the ability to speak.

The demon cultivator's mind went blank, yet his hand obeyed the Demon God, obediently putting on the mask.

After a few moments, nothing happened.

Song Yan said, "Try it."

The demon cultivator quickly began to try.

In an instant, his face began to change at will, sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes another form. Though his physique did not change, and his realm aura remained the same, the changing face showed no flaws that even Song Yan could discern.

In other words, even if this demon cultivator truly transformed into a female face before him, unless he got very close and carefully explored with his hands and Divine Sense, he absolutely could not tell the face was fake.

Song Yan said, "What else?"

The demon cultivator panted for a while, then said, "Cultivation... techniques, so... many."

Song Yan said, "Anything else?"

The demon cultivator shook his head.

Song Yan waited a moment longer, removed the Faceless Mask from that demon cultivator's face, and also tried it on the other two. Once confirming nothing was amiss, he split light into three strands with a sword, the Bone-Eroding Sword Qi instantly activating, turning the three into three pools of putrid water. Then he slowly placed the Faceless Mask onto his own face.

Upon a slight attempt, he indeed found his face changing at will, far surpassing the Illusion Techniques of the Multi-tailed Fox Race in sophistication.

Although his body shape could not change, and his aura could not be concealed, the face's appearance, once altered, was extraordinarily hard to detect.

The demon cultivator he just killed had power only at the Refining Profound Level, but after putting on the Faceless Mask and altering his appearance, even though Song Yan was at the Purple Mansion Realm, he still couldn't distinguish that something was wrong with that person's face.

This indeed was somewhat terrifying, truly deserving of the title "Formless."

For him, this was extremely "fitting." Although it couldn't completely replace "Illusion Technique," it was safer and more reliable; even if in the presence of a mighty one, it couldn't be seen through.

Moreover, hidden within this mask was a small Divine Soul World, inside resembling a tower-like Library Pavilion.

Song Yan quickly observed, finding that there weren't a massive number of techniques, yet there were still many, comparable to a sect's library, with the key point being "the upper limit of magic here is quite high."

Refining Profound, Crimson Palace were included.

Early, middle, and late stage of Purple Mansion were there.

Even the Divine Infant was included.

In other words, with this mask, Song Yan lacked nothing in cultivation techniques and could cultivate all the way to the Divine Infant Realm.

He arrived at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion shelf and quickly pulled out three spell books.
