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

At this moment, the corridor in front of them was collapsing rapidly, and it even seemed that the entire fifth floor of the White Emperor Tower was about to collapse as well.

However, Li Musheng remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the dark void, and he frowned slightly as he said:

"Three more skeletons. I wonder how these things are made?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous black bone finger that had been tearing through the void and pressing down suddenly cracked and broke apart halfway down, turning into a cloud of black dust.

The dark red bone blade that pierced through the air was also directly broken. The blade that could cut out vortex cracks was only about ten feet away from Li Musheng's back when it was as if it was bounced away by an invisible force and flew back into the darkness and disappeared in an instant.

The golden incantation vines beneath Li Musheng and the others were unable to penetrate them even slightly; instead, they silently dissipated into a golden glow on the ground.

At this moment, Li Musheng raised his hand and grabbed.

The next moment, all the black, red, and golden humanoid skeletons suddenly fell from the dark void.

In the blink of an eye, Li Musheng directly captured him and placed him in the air above the corridor in front of him.

Looking at the three skeletons that suddenly appeared before her, the girl Ah Xiu's pretty face clearly showed a look of surprise.

The maid in front also looked up at the three skeletons, but remained motionless throughout, as if she was thinking about something.

"You dare to trespass on Baidi Tower? You are courting your own destruction!"

The black humanoid skeleton spoke in human language. Although it was currently restrained, its eyes, which were wreathed in a dark, eerie light, were fixed on Li Musheng.

The other two humanoid skeletons were in the same situation. Even though they were unable to move and had become defeated by Li Musheng, their aura remained undiminished, and they spoke one after another:

"Release us immediately."

“If you retreat now, you will still have a sliver of hope.”

……

Faced with the three enormous, talking humanoid skeletons before him, Li Musheng was not angry; instead, he felt a surge of curiosity.

He completely ignored the other person, and instead turned to the maid who had led the way, asking:

Do you know what these three things are?

Upon hearing this, the maid withdrew her gaze from the three humanoid skeletons, slowly turned her head, and explained:
"Guest, you may not know this, but they were originally three generals who had made great contributions under the king. Because of their loyalty to the king, they volunteered to be refined into 'immortal puppets' to guard the White Emperor Tower after their deaths."

"An Undying Yin Puppet?"

Li Musheng stroked his chin, while the young girl Axiu also showed a look of doubt in her eyes, clearly they had never heard of such a thing before.

"All the flesh and blood are gone, leaving only a skeleton, yet it still possesses self-awareness and considerable strength. Who researched this thing?"

Li Musheng surveyed the three humanoid skeletons before him. Aside from their grotesque appearance, their existence for nearly a thousand years was indeed remarkable.

It could even be described as an alternative form of life continuation.

At this moment, upon hearing Li Musheng's question, a barely perceptible ripple appeared on the maid's previously expressionless face, and she said meaningfully:

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural laws governing the operation of all things in the universe, but there are always people who vainly attempt to live forever and create these inhuman and ghostly things."

As she spoke, the maid's gaze fell once more upon the three humanoid skeletons imprisoned in the void before her. At that moment, the three skeletons also looked at the maid, and then the light in their empty eyes flickered violently:

"You are……"

The three humanoid skeletons seemed to vaguely recognize the maid's identity, but they couldn't quite recall it, and fell into a deep silence.

Li Musheng looked thoughtful. From the maid's words, he could guess that the person she was referring to was probably the Tianqi Emperor, who would be known as the greatest emperor of all time.

After all, the other party did a lot in their pursuit of immortality, and given the strength of the Great Qi Dynasty that unified the world at that time, it was not impossible for them to have developed something like the "Undying Yin Puppet".

Thinking of this, Li Musheng suddenly became even more interested in the Heavenly Revelation Treasure. After all, even the White Emperor Tower contained such unexpected things, so the Heavenly Revelation Treasure might contain even more extraordinary things.

At this moment, the three humanoid skeletons, unable to recall the maid's identity no matter how hard they tried, turned their gazes toward Li Musheng once more.

"The White Emperor Tower is not a place for you. Get out of here at once..."

The crimson humanoid skeleton spoke in human language, clearly aware of its current predicament and the dangers posed by Li Musheng. It ceased its aggressive tactics and instead intended to make Li Musheng back down.

At this moment, Li Musheng slowly withdrew his thoughts, then glanced at the three humanoid skeletons again, squinting as he said:
"Originally, I planned to destroy you all at will, but now I've changed my mind and intend to study you and conduct some experiments on you."

After saying that, Li Musheng looked up and made a grasping motion in the air towards the three imprisoned humanoid skeletons.

"what are you up to……"

The three humanoid skeletons sensed something was wrong and simultaneously spoke in human language, their eyes shimmering with intense light.

The next moment, under the pressure of an irresistible force, the three humanoid skeletons began to shrink rapidly, and in a short while they were compressed into three humanoid skeletons no bigger than the palm of a hand.

Li Musheng casually reached out and grabbed three humanoid skeletons into his hand, then said to the maid in front of him:

"Keep leading the way."

The maid glanced at Li Musheng and the three shrunken humanoid skeletons, hesitated, and then turned away to continue walking.

Li Musheng beckoned the girl Ah Xiu and the big black cat to follow, while simultaneously studying the three humanoid skeletons in his hands.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, looked surprised, her eyes glancing frequently at Li Musheng's palm. Such powerful three humanoid skeletons had become playthings in his hands in the blink of an eye. This prince's strength had never disappointed.

Meanwhile, the boy in blue and the girl in red, who had followed and were hiding at the corner of the fifth floor, looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all witnessed Li Musheng casually collecting three humanoid skeletons.

Why would something like this appear in the White Emperor Tower? And why have all the people we saw before disappeared?

The girl in red frowned and spoke, and the boy in blue naturally understood the meaning behind her questions, replying:
"In this light, what we saw and heard before was likely a lie."

Upon hearing this, the girl in red frowned slightly and nodded, saying:

"But all of this is too real. If it weren't for the intervention of that prince of Dali, we would almost never have been able to detect any of this."

As she spoke, the girl in red glanced around the brightly lit, ornately decorated fifth floor and said:

"Moreover, what we are seeing now may not be the truth; we've simply become trapped in it and can't extricate ourselves." (End of Chapter)
