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

At the same time, the big black cat pointed its paw at the space where the passage was located, creating a barely perceptible ripple, as if it had broken through an invisible barrier.

The barrier-like or restrictive barrier could be sensed not only by the three elders of the Jingjue Ancient City clan and the master of Qingshan Tower who had arrived here before, but also by Li Musheng.

The only difference is that the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City used their finger star charts to break through the obstacles, while Li Musheng relied on the big black cat to do so.

"good."

Li Musheng nodded slightly. In his opinion, bringing this cat into the Tomb of the White Emperor would be quite useful.

Next, Li Musheng continued to carry the girl Axiu and the big black cat forward, eventually stopping in front of an ancient stone door that was wide open.

This stone gate was naturally the tomb of the White King that the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City and the people of Qingshan Tower had visited before. However, at this moment, the stone gate was completely empty, and Li Musheng and the others could not see a single person in sight.

"Could this be the legendary tomb of the White King?"

The girl, Ah Xiu, whose hand had been released by Li Musheng, straightened up slightly, her eyes looking uncertainly at the open stone door at the end of the passage. Apart from that, there was no other way to proceed.

Li Musheng walked to the stone gate and glanced inside. He saw that there was only a dilapidated and poor little village inside, and he frowned.

After all, the contrast between what he saw was quite stark. Logically speaking, the younger brother of the mighty Emperor Tianqi, a great emperor throughout history, and the renowned White Emperor, should not have been so poor as to bury his remains in such a place.

However, Li Musheng did not ignore this place because of this. After all, the appearance of such a strange village in the Tomb of the White Emperor clearly indicated that something was very wrong.

"Let's go in and take a look first."

Li Musheng stood outside the stone gate without noticing anything amiss, and then beckoned the girl Ah Xiu and the big black cat inside.

The two people and the cat crossed a bamboo bridge and arrived at a village with only seven or eight dilapidated houses. Nothing happened during their journey.

However, after searching all the houses they could find and coming up empty-handed...

The big black cat that walked out of the last house let out a strange cry for no apparent reason, suddenly breaking the silence of the entire village.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, was clearly startled. She turned her pretty face sharply towards the large black cat, which was the size of a black panther. The cat was glowing brightly, and its light was so dazzling that she could hardly open her eyes.

"What... is going on?"

The young girl, Ah Xiu, looked at Li Musheng with a surprised and suspicious expression, while Li Musheng reached into his pocket and took out the white jade bead that he had obtained from the fifth-floor tower.

At this moment, the white jade bead emitted a hazy glow, indicating that it had been activated autonomously.

Li Musheng frowned, his face showing a thoughtful expression, while the big black cat beside him was clearly anxious. This time, the cat that had transformed into a luminous cat was countless times more dazzling than before. More importantly, it had no idea how all of this had happened.

"This is interesting. The village we are in now doesn't seem to be the same village we were in before."

Li Musheng withdrew his gaze from the white jade bead in his hand. With his martial will, he could naturally sense that the entire world around him was completely different from before.

However, the whole arrangement was too ingenious, and even Li Musheng fell into the trap unintentionally. Of course, although Li Musheng possessed extraordinary martial arts skills, he had not actually seen many strange and mysterious things in this world, so it was understandable that he did not know how all of this was done.

Upon hearing Li Musheng's words, the young girl Axiu's expression shifted, and she immediately asked Li Musheng the most important question at hand:
How do we get back to that village?

However, Li Musheng shrugged and looked around, saying:

"How would I know? But you can try going back into those houses and see if you can leave this place."

Upon hearing this, the young girl Ah Xiu frowned deeply. She glanced at the dazzling black cat, thought for a moment, and then nodded gently without refusing.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Next, the girl Ah Xiu went back into the houses in the village, but it was obviously to no avail. When she came out of the house, she still saw Li Musheng and the glowing black cat outside.

For a moment, the young girl Ah Xiu's face turned somewhat unpleasant, but Li Musheng calmly asked her:
Did you find anything good when you went into those rooms?

Upon hearing this, the young girl, Ah Xiu, shook her head, but she quickly realized what was happening and said with a look of surprise and uncertainty:
"At this point, Your Highness is still thinking about the treasures in the White King's tomb. Aren't you worried at all that we will be trapped here forever and unable to leave?"

Upon hearing this, the glowing black cat nodded hastily, rubbing against Li Musheng's robes ingratiatingly. It temporarily forgot about its own glowing, as it certainly didn't want to be trapped in this dilapidated village and wait to die.

However, at this moment, Li Musheng waved his hand and said casually:

"Don't worry, this place may be a bit strange, but it can't trap me."

As he spoke, he glanced around and squinted, saying:
"On the contrary, I suspect that this is very likely the real tomb of the White King, and perhaps there are many good things hidden somewhere."

Upon hearing this, a blinding light flashed in the eyes of the large black cat beside him, and its previous anxiety vanished instantly.

For the big black cat who trusted Li Musheng completely, with Li Musheng's words as its endorsement, it was no longer afraid of being trapped in this godforsaken place.

On the contrary, those cat eyes were filled with a longing for the various treasures hidden in this place that was highly suspected to be the tomb of the White King.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, stared at Li Musheng for a moment. Seeing his utterly calm expression, she inexplicably calmed down as well. Then, she looked around and said:
"This small village can be seen from one end to the other at a glance, and it looks extremely poor, not like it has any valuable items hidden inside."

While the girl was speaking, the large, glowing black cat darted out and quickly searched the entire village inside and out.

Unfortunately, the big black cat still came up empty-handed. The village was so poor that it didn't have a single thing of value.

"No matter what, we can't leave empty-handed. Let's go outside and see if we can find anything."

Li Musheng stroked his chin as he spoke, his gaze fixed on the outside of the stone gate.

He wasn't sure if he could come back in after leaving, so naturally he had to search the place thoroughly, inside and out.

After all, the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City had longed for such a place. If this were truly the tomb of the White King, it was highly unlikely that there would be nothing there. (End of Chapter)
