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

The young man in blue was well aware that it would be virtually impossible for the two of them to escape the illusion before them on their own.

But they had no way to help each other. Moreover, what they were most worried about at this moment was the three elders and experts of the Jingjue Ancient City clan.

"The Seventh Ancestor seems to be on the seventh floor now. With the strength of the clan elders, they should not be affected by the illusions in this building."

The girl in red spoke with a thoughtful expression. She had realized that something was wrong with the two of them, and the best course of action now was to seek the protection of the three clan elders.

The young man in blue shared the same thoughts as the girl in red, and said with a serious expression:
"Let's get to the seventh floor as soon as possible. That Eighth Prince of Dali is acting recklessly and has clearly alerted the powerful guardians of this building."

"If we don't leave this place in time, we will inevitably be implicated."

The power of those three humanoid skeletons far exceeded the imagination of the young man in blue. Although the humanoid skeletons had been suppressed by Li Musheng, there was likely an even more powerful being in this building.

In the eyes of the young man in blue, Li Musheng's actions must have thoroughly angered the guardians of the White Emperor Tower, so he did not want himself and the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City to be caught in the crossfire.

“I think that we might be able to join forces with the Eighth Prince of Dali to conquer this building.”

At this moment, the girl in red glanced at the boy in blue and offered her own different opinion.

The young man in blue narrowed his eyes slightly, neither confirming nor denying the words of the girl in red, and said:
"These are not things we can decide; it depends on what our ancestors thought."

"Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Seventh Ancestor just now, it seems that he does not want to have a conflict with the guardian of this building, while the actions of that Prince of Dali are clearly the opposite."

Upon hearing this, the girl in red said no more, clearly the boy in blue had more to say.

However, at this moment, the entire White Emperor Tower suddenly began to shake violently, and the voices of the Seven Ancestors questioning came from the entire building.

What do you want to do?

……

Meanwhile, after suppressing the three humanoid skeletons, Li Musheng and his group encountered no further obstacles and were led by a maid to the seventh floor of the White Emperor Tower.

During this period, Li Musheng attempted to experiment on the three humanoid skeletons using the Wuxiang Puppet Technique, the Soul Searching Technique, and the Dream Thousand Autumns.

Aside from having absolute strength to manipulate three humanoid skeletons with the Formless Puppet Technique, neither the Soul Searching Technique nor Dream Thousand Autumns had any effect on the three humanoid skeletons in front of him.

This means that the humanoid skeleton did not actually possess a true soul or consciousness, and was in fact completely dead.

As for why they can speak human language and even seem to have human thoughts?

Although Li Musheng has not yet been able to figure out the underlying principle, he believes that the biggest reason is most likely the strange talismans and incantations on the skeleton.

However, Li Musheng, who had already reached the seventh floor of the White Emperor Tower, did not have time to continue studying the three humanoid skeletons. Instead, he focused his attention on the main hall in front of him.

Before them stood nine crimson pillars adorned with coiled dragons, their surfaces inscribed with dense talismans and incantations. The nine dragons, shrouded in a cloud-like glow, seemed to come alive, their heads and tails intertwined as they slowly swirled incessantly.

In the center of the nine crimson pillars with coiled dragons, sat three elders of the Jingjue Ancient City clan and the master of Qingshan Tower.

The four sat facing the four directions with their backs to each other, connected by the vast and boundless true energy of heaven and earth. Countless ancient runes flowed beneath them, reflecting the void and constructing an extremely powerful formation.

Li Musheng could naturally see that the formation set up by the four was not a simple martial arts formation, but clearly mixed with a variety of ancient secret techniques.

At this moment, the young girl A-Xiu could also see the scene in the main hall, and what she saw and heard was almost identical to what Li Musheng had seen. This made A-Xiu realize that the White Emperor Tower a thousand years ago must have been extremely magnificent, and perhaps the illusions she had just seen were actually scenes that actually happened a thousand years ago.

At this moment, Li Musheng casually glanced around the hall, and then walked straight into the hall.

The maid who was leading the way stopped in the corridor in front of the main hall, turned around and looked at Li Musheng who was walking towards the main hall. The indifferent look in her eyes was now slightly disturbed.

The girl Ah Xiu and the big black cat could sense that the hall in front of them was not a place they could enter, so they both stopped in their tracks.

As Li Musheng stepped into the main hall, it was as if he had broken the original balance in the hall. Several huge forces surged and vibrated violently like giant waves, causing the entire White Emperor Tower to shake and tremble!

The three clan elders sitting cross-legged on the four sides of the main hall, along with the master of Qingshan Tower, all looked at Li Musheng, their expressions not very pleasant.

The Seventh Ancestor, in particular, had a hint of anger in his eyes, clearly extremely dissatisfied with Li Musheng's reckless entry into the main hall, and directly questioned him.

However, the four people, including the Seventh Patriarch, seemed unable to move easily at this time. They remained seated in the hall without making any moves.

At this moment, facing the Seventh Ancestor's questioning, Li Musheng shook his head and said:

"You ask me what I want to do, but I also want to know what you want to do?"

As he spoke, Li Musheng kept walking towards the central area surrounded by the nine coiled dragon red pillars of the main hall and the great formation set up by the seven ancestors and the four of them.

With each step he took closer, the power contained within the hall became increasingly violent and restless, stirring up a turbulent upheaval of true energy, making the entire hall seem as if it were on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"Stop immediately!"

Seeing that Li Musheng was about to step into the Nine Directions Coiled Dragon Crimson Pillar Formation Domain without any scruples, the Seventh Ancestor and the Fifth Ancestor spoke urgently almost at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng slowly lowered his foot, stopping just at the edge of the formation.

Then, he leisurely glanced at the four people in the center of the hall, finally fixing his gaze on the master of Qingshan Tower, and said:
"Of course I can stop, but this person has to give me something."

What do you want?

Seeing that Li Musheng stopped at the last moment, the Seventh Patriarch breathed a slight sigh of relief and subconsciously asked a question.

"The key to unlocking the secrets of the Apocalypse."

Li Musheng spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on the master of Qingshan Tower.

Upon hearing this, the three elders of the ancient Jingjue City clans frowned slightly, while the master of Qingshan Tower remained expressionless, seemingly unsurprised by Li Musheng's request.

"I do have a key to the Apocalypse Treasure, but unfortunately, the key is not with me right now."

The owner of Qingshan Tower spoke calmly, then slowly closed his eyes, indicating that he could not fulfill Li Musheng's request.

Li Musheng remained unperturbed by this, standing outside the great formation and calmly saying:
"It's alright. You must have heard of a demonic art called the Soul Searching Technique."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Musheng, without any warning, directly used the Soul Searching Technique on Qingshan Loulou.

He wasn't going to argue with the other party since they weren't willing to give it to him. (End of Chapter)
