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

Li Musheng gave the maidservant in front of him a deep look, then waved his hand and said:

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Meanwhile, the large black cat, which had been staring intently at the maid, tugged at Li Musheng's robes with its paws, clearly trying to tell him that there was something wrong with the maid in front of him.

However, Li Musheng clearly did not care about this. After receiving Li Musheng's instructions, the maid bowed slightly and said nothing more. She then turned and walked straight up the jade steps to the second floor of the White Emperor Tower.

Li Musheng beckoned the girl Axiu and the big black cat to follow. Axiu's heart gradually sank into the incomparably prosperous palace before her. She admired it and sighed softly as she climbed the steps, seemingly having slowly forgotten the purpose of her visit.

Soon, led by the maid, Li Musheng and his party arrived at the entrance to the second floor.

However, two heavily armed guards stood on either side of the entrance on the second floor. The guards were dressed in silver armor, were tall and imposing, and exuded a menacing and extremely dangerous aura.

As soon as the maid reached the entrance, two silver-armored guards cast intimidating glances at her, and at the same time, their gleaming axes suddenly crossed and fell, blocking her way.

"Get out! This is not a place for you!"

One of the silver-armored guards spoke, then his gaze fell on Li Musheng and the young girl Axiu behind the maid. After only a brief glance, he looked at Axiu and said:
"This young lady may go up to the second floor."

Upon hearing this, the young girl, Ah Xiu, frowned slightly, then pointed to Li Musheng beside her and asked the two guards at the second-floor entrance:

"What about him?"

One of the guards glanced at Li Musheng and said indifferently:

"He is not qualified to go to the second floor."

At this moment, the maid standing in front of the second-floor entrance slowly turned around and explained:
"The rule of the White Emperor Tower is that the stronger you are, the higher the floor you can climb."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Musheng and asked softly:

"Do you need me to take you upstairs, guest?"

Before Li Musheng could reply, the young girl Axiu frowned even more deeply and turned to Li Musheng, saying:

"With Your Highness's strength, reaching the eighth floor shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng remained calm and said indifferently:

"Of course, let alone the eighth floor, even the ninth floor is no problem for me."

"But why won't they let you..."

However, before the young girl Ah Xiu could ask her question, Li Musheng shook his head and said:
"Where I want to go, is there anyone who can stop me?"

As he spoke, Li Musheng casually waved his hand, and the two silver-armored guards standing at the entrance to the second floor suddenly changed their expressions.

The next moment, the two guards were swatted away by an irresistible force and fell into the darkness below the palace.

At this point, the entrance to the second floor became empty, and no one blocked the way anymore.

Upon seeing this scene, Ah Xiu, the young girl whose mind and body were already immersed in the palace before her, showed a strange expression and asked in a low voice:
"Your Highness...wouldn't this be inappropriate?"

The maid who had led the way glanced at Li Musheng, then turned and continued upstairs without saying a word, entering the second floor through the entrance.

Seeing this, Li Musheng casually beckoned the girl Ah Xiu and the big black cat to follow. The spacious corridor on the second floor was brightly lit and bustling with people. The sounds of string and wind instruments and the laughter of clinking glasses came from the half-open rooms and halls. There were also talented men and beautiful women reciting poems and singing loudly towards the thousands of lights on the palace tower.

The maid leading the way ignored everything around her, simply walking with her head down, leading the two people and the cat through the corridor.

During this time, someone invited the young girl Ah Xiu and Li Musheng to drink and make merry. The maid did not say anything to stop them, but simply stopped and waited quietly.

Although the young girl Ah Xiu felt a little reluctant to refuse the friendly and incredibly enthusiastic people in the building, she still acted according to Li Musheng's wishes.

Although the wine offered by those people was fragrant and tempting, the young girl Ah Xiu admitted that she had never tasted such good wine in her life.

But Li Musheng wouldn't let her drink it, and although she was really tempted, she ultimately had to shake her head and refuse.

And so, led by the maid, the two people and the cat soon stepped onto the jade steps again and arrived at the entrance to the third floor.

This time, the two guards at the entrance were noticeably more imposing than the guards on the second floor.

Moreover, unlike before, this time the two silver-armored guards attacked Li Musheng without saying a word, raising their giant axes and slashing at him with the force of splitting mountains.

The girl Ah Xiu could sense that the two silver-armored guards on the third floor, though they were just doormen on the surface, displayed such formidable strength that they made her pale in fear.

Although the young girl Ah Xiu was quite skilled in martial arts, she believed that she was no match for any of the men in the group.

However, just as the young girl Ah Xiu was feeling surprised, in her sight, the two silver-armored guards who had just drawn their axes followed in the footsteps of the two guards on the second floor before them, and were directly sent flying, falling into the darkness below the palace.

At this moment, the maid glanced back at Li Musheng again, still without saying a word, and then walked up the jade steps to the third floor of Baidi Tower.

"These guards attacked as soon as they saw us, which means they must have already discovered that we were outsiders who had broken into the second floor."

As the young girl Ah Xiu spoke thoughtfully, she followed Li Musheng upstairs.

At this moment, the maid leading the way spoke up:
“The guards can spot people who don’t follow the rules when they appear in places they shouldn’t be.”

"In addition, the strength of the guards will increase exponentially with each floor you go up."

Upon hearing this, the young girl, Ah Xiu, pondered the maid's words. Soon, a look of surprise and doubt appeared on her face as she said:
"According to you, the guards on the ninth floor of the White Emperor Tower would be hundreds of times stronger. In that case, wouldn't they be impossible to defeat?"

Upon hearing this, the maid leading the way suddenly stopped, nodded slightly with her back to the group, and said in a completely emotionless voice:

"Therefore, only His Majesty can go up to the ninth floor of the White Emperor Tower. No one else can step into the ninth floor."

After saying that, the maid stopped talking and continued to lead the way.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, frowned, then looked at Li Musheng. She was about to speak when Li Musheng casually addressed the maid:
"I think what you said is wrong."

Upon hearing this, the maid in front continued leading the way without turning her head and asked:

"I wonder if the guest finds anything I said incorrect?"

Li Musheng revealed a meaningful smile and said:

"You just said that only the White King can go up to the ninth floor, and no one else can, but I've heard that there's an older brother above the White King." (End of Chapter)
