After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

The underground White Emperor City, sealed by a giant white crystal, is spotless and shows no signs of age or decay. The city is devoid of any living creatures, making it a true ghost town.

Li Musheng led the big black cat through the empty city streets, instructing it to search for the White King's tomb and the burial site of the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger.

After all, the big black cat has a special destiny, making it quite unique in the White Emperor City before us. Perhaps there will be some unexpected surprises.

The big black cat was also very diligent, constantly leaping back and forth on the walls and eaves of the city, searching for treasures that would resonate with its innermost feelings.

Before long, the big black cat began to react. When it approached a palace in the city, its entire black body suddenly glowed.

This also caught Li Musheng's attention. He arrived at the big black cat's side in the blink of an eye, but he did not notice anything unusual in the palace in front of him.

Then, Li Musheng led the big black cat through the door and into the palace.

The palace was completely empty, except for a skeleton dressed in a long golden robe sitting in the center of the floor tiles. There was nothing else there.

Upon seeing the skeleton, the black cat's eyes and body shone even brighter. It then turned its head and began meowing and gesturing at Li Musheng.

Li Musheng naturally understood what the other party meant, and then led the big black cat to the side of the skeleton.

At this moment, the sitting skeleton was also glowing, though its glow was relatively faint compared to that of the big black cat.

Li Musheng glanced casually at the skeleton, then reached out and pulled a jade box from inside its robes.

The jade box has an ancient style and is carved with intricate patterns, including a complete image of a mythical white tiger.

After sensing the contents for a moment, Li Musheng opened the jade box and found a parchment inside, on which was drawn a map.

Li Musheng glanced at it briefly. This map was indeed a map of the underground White Emperor City, and a special address was prominently marked on the map.

Seeing this, Li Musheng casually threw away the jade box, then put away the map, intending to go and check out the locations on the map.

But at that moment, the big black cat suddenly opened its mouth and grabbed the jade box that Li Musheng had discarded. Then it stretched out its paws and gestured in front of Li Musheng for a while.

"You want the power hidden within?"

Li Musheng raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, while the big black cat nodded eagerly.

Seeing this, Li Musheng raised his hand and grabbed the jade box in the black cat's mouth from a distance. The entire jade box instantly turned into dust. At the same time, a wisp of energy containing a strange power was extracted.

The big black cat quickly opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing the wisp of energy into its belly. Immediately, the big black cat's size began to increase, and in the blink of an eye, it was half a size larger than before.

"That's interesting."

After sensing the aura emanating from the black cat and absorbing the energy within the jade box, Li Musheng's own strength increased considerably.

The big black cat was naturally very happy, and its interest in searching for treasures in the city grew even stronger.

Next, Li Musheng specifically examined the big black cat, but found nothing unusual.

He didn't pay much attention to this and continued to lead the big black cat to find another location marked on the map. Next, following the markings on the parchment map, Li Musheng spent some time finding three more similar palaces in the city.

The four jade boxes found contained parchment marked with the locations of various palaces, and also contained skeleton guardians that could react to the big black cat.

During this period, Li Musheng gained nothing except four pieces of parchment.

The biggest beneficiary was none other than the big black cat. After absorbing the energy contained in the four jade boxes, its already enormous size grew even larger. Now, it resembled a majestic black tiger, exuding a powerful aura and possessing strength almost comparable to a half-step Celestial Realm martial artist.

"You cat, I've been busy for so long, and it all turned out to be your work."

Li Musheng was speechless, while the big black cat, knowing it had gotten a good deal, immediately rubbed against Li Musheng's robes and meowed to express its gratitude.

Li Musheng casually pushed the large black cat, which resembled a black tiger, aside, and then spread the four sheepskin scrolls he had obtained on the ground to see if he could find any other clues.
As expected, Li Musheng discovered some clues after piecing the four parchments together.

The patterns that originally marked the four locations were combined to form a direction pointing directly to a certain place in Baidi City.

Seeing this, Li Musheng's expression improved considerably. After all, finding things was no easy task for him, and if he didn't find anything, he naturally wouldn't be in a good mood.

Next, Li Musheng prepared to take the big black cat to the location indicated in the direction.

However, at this moment, a tremendous tremor, as if the earth were shaking, suddenly came from the underground White Emperor City, which was originally as silent as a ghost town.

Li Musheng raised an eyebrow, his figure vanished from his original spot, and in an instant appeared above the entire underground White Emperor City.

Looking around, a surging undercurrent appeared in the north of the city, spreading rapidly through the streets and alleys, chasing after the hairless old man.

However, Li Musheng squinted and discovered that those so-called undercurrents were actually thousands upon thousands of crawlers.

The reptiles were pitch black, strangely shaped, and as large as millstones, but they moved incredibly fast, leaving only afterimages as they darted about.

At this moment, the bald old man naturally noticed Li Musheng appearing in the sky above the distant city and immediately called out loudly:
"Young man, please help this old man! I accidentally fell into the trap of the Shadow Insects while searching, and now these things are chasing after me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng remained calm, his gaze fixed on the bald old man who was constantly fleeing. He could naturally sense that something was wrong with the old man's condition.

Originally, this bald old man was not weak, but he had obviously suffered a setback somewhere in the city, which is why those dark insects were able to chase after him.

However, Li Musheng showed no intention of offering help. Instead, he called out from a distance:

"Did you find anything?"

Upon hearing this, the bald old man, who was desperately trying to escape, had a fluctuating expression. However, under the current circumstances, he dared not lie and immediately shouted:

"I did find some treasures during my search, but something unexpected happened just as I was about to hand them over, and I haven't had time to inform you yet."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng nodded slightly and said:

"As long as there's something to gain, that's fine. I won't make a move for no reason." (End of Chapter)
