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

While King Xun of Great Chu's words were indeed true, he also had his own ulterior motives.

He had witnessed Li Musheng's skills and was well aware of the astonishing and terrifying martial arts prowess of this prince of Dali. Now, the Earthly Guide Ancestor was afflicted with the strange curse of the White Emperor's Tomb and was in great trouble.

At this moment, King Xun of Great Chu was not sure whether the old general could solve those strange incantations on his own. However, it would be beneficial and harmless to use this matter to help the old general establish some ties with Li Musheng.

The Earthly Ancestor was not a coy or pretentious person. He not only feared Li Musheng, a young man who was famous throughout the Western Desert and even the martial arts world, but also had a desire to explore him.

He carried a deep-seated hatred and lay dormant underground for decades, cultivating his powerful martial arts skills to this day.

Li Musheng was only twenty years old, and to possess such terrifying strength at such a young age made him very curious about how the other party had trained.

"I have long admired Your Highness's name, and I am truly astonished to meet you today."

Although the Earthly Ancestor was currently shrouded in strange incantations, as soon as the Great Chu King finished speaking, he moved swiftly to the other's side, then forced a smile at Li Musheng and said:
"Your Highness wishes to find the master of Qingshan Tower, and I am sincerely willing to assist you."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the Earth Guide Ancestor and then nodded.

In his opinion, it didn't matter who led the way. The reason he had the Great Chu King lead him to find someone was because the other party was a semi-acquaintance.

"Let's go then."

Li Musheng waved his hand, naturally prioritizing important matters. He already possessed four keys to the Heavenly Revelation Treasure. If he were to acquire the key from the Green Mountain Pavilion Master, he would only have two keys left to collect, undoubtedly advancing the process of unlocking the Heavenly Revelation Treasure by a significant step!

The Earthly Ancestor and the Great Chu Xun King secretly exchanged a message. Without further ado, the Earthly Ancestor agreed and, with the blind Great Chu Xun King in tow, turned and soared into the sky.

Seeing this, Li Musheng told the old man without hair to stay and continue searching in the city, while he called the big black cat to follow the old man and the other two away.

The black cat's fur was now even shinier and its body even more robust. It leaped up from the ground and transformed into a black lightning bolt, leaving only a blur as it sped away through the city.

In front of the five-story white jade tower, which had become a dilapidated building, only three people remained: the red-haired old woman, the old ghost from the dragon cave, and two others.

They were completely ignored by Li Musheng throughout, and remained silent from beginning to end. Only after Li Musheng and the Earth Guide Ancestor and the others left did the Dragon Cave Old Ghost speak, his expression shifting uncertainly:

"I can't see through this kid at all."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired old woman withdrew her gaze from the direction where Li Musheng and the others had disappeared, and coldly snorted:

"This kid is too arrogant. Even the old master Di Yin has lost the demeanor of a renowned figure in the martial arts world. To be so obsequious to a junior is truly cowardly and shameful!"

"However, our most urgent task now is to expel those spells. Let's ignore them for now and find a safe place to go into seclusion."

The old ghost of the Dragon Cave and another martial arts master both nodded. Although the attitude of the prince of Dali made these martial arts veterans somewhat unhappy, there was nothing they could do about it.

After all, even at their peak, they wouldn't dare to easily make a move against Li Musheng, the renowned prince of the Great Li Kingdom.

……

Meanwhile, under the guidance of the Earthly Guide Ancestor, Li Musheng soon arrived at the top of an inconspicuous stone tower in the city.

“That person is the master of Qingshan Tower. He has been staying here almost the entire time since he entered the Tomb of the White Emperor.” The Earthly Guide Ancestor’s gaze fell on a figure sitting on the roof of the stone tower, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The Earthly Ancestor felt no gratitude towards the Green Mountain Pavilion Master who led a group of top martial arts experts into the Tomb of the White Emperor. Instead, he remained wary of him from beginning to end.

However, under the observation of the Earthly Ancestor, the Lord of Green Mountain Tower had not taken any action since entering the underground White Emperor City, nor had he searched for the treasures that had appeared in the city. Naturally, he could not just sit around and watch the other party without doing anything.

At this moment, the master of Qingshan Tower, who had been sitting cross-legged on the roof, naturally noticed the arrival of the Earthly Ancestor and the others. He slowly raised his head and glanced at the Earthly Ancestor, the Great Chu King, Li Musheng, and the big black cat that had followed not far away.

Finally, the Green Mountain Pavilion Master's gaze fell upon Li Musheng, and he immediately stood up, cupping his hands in greeting:

"It is truly an honor to welcome His Highness the Eighth Prince."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the leader of Qingshan Tower. He wasn't too surprised that the leader of the remnants of the Great Qi could recognize him at a glance. After all, he was so famous, and Qingshan Tower was an organization that spread across the five kingdoms of the world. Naturally, it was impossible for him not to know him.

Thinking it over, Li Musheng reached up and stroked his chin, saying:
"That's good. Now that you know me, everything is easier to discuss."

The master of Qingshan Tower looked up at Li Musheng, his expression calm, and said:

"Your Highness has probably summoned me for something. If I can help you, I will certainly not refuse."

Seeing that the owner of Qingshan Tower was so humble and easy to talk to, Li Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although it's said that you can't hit a smiling face, Li Musheng wouldn't stop asking for the key to the Apocalypse Treasure just because the other party said a few nice words.

"I've heard that you have a key to the Apocalypse's secret treasure."

Li Musheng fixed his gaze on the owner of Qingshan Tower and went straight to the point, extending his hand:

"I need that key, can I borrow it for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, both the Earthly Ancestor and the Great Chu King showed unusual expressions.

The legend of the Heavenly Revelation Treasure is known throughout the martial arts world, so it's impossible that they hadn't heard of it. However, what the two of them didn't expect was that Li Musheng was looking for the master of Qingshan Tower for that ethereal thing.

At this moment, the master of Qingshan Tower looked up at Li Musheng, his face still showing no emotion. After a moment of silence, he cupped his hands in a salute and said:

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. Other matters are negotiable, but the Tianqi Secret Treasury concerns the Great Qi royal family and is a legacy left by the Tianqi Emperor to future generations."

"Let alone whether I have the key to the Apocalypse Treasure, even if I did, I cannot give it to Your Highness."

The owner of Qingshan Tower spoke softly and with an extremely humble attitude, but his words subtly conveyed a sense of neither servility nor arrogance, and that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

However, no sooner had the Green Mountain Pavilion Master finished speaking than a large black cat, its body resembling a black panther, stirred up a gust of black wind and charged straight at him without warning. Its sharp, steel-blade-like claws tore through the air, transforming into a fierce, cold light that scratched directly at the Green Mountain Pavilion Master's face.

In the big black cat's eyes, this person dared to refuse Li Musheng, wouldn't even lend him something, and was probably useless to keep. Now was the perfect time to use him as a test of its enhanced strength. (End of Chapter)
