nYe Xiao stepped inside the Golden Tower and appeared in a dark environment. This place seemed to be completely covered in the dark fog.

nYe Xiao frowned and muttered: “Shouldn’t I appear on the first floor? What is this place?”

nAccording to his mother, he should appear on the First Floor after entering the Golden Tower.

nAfter chatting with his mother for a few minutes, Ye Xiao understood many things and this tower. He was also surprised to learn how mysterious this tower actually is.

nThe Golden Tower was given to the Ye Family by someone after the Ye Family saved his life. That person was badly injured at that time and was on the verge of death, but was saved by Ye Family who spent a miracle medicine.

nWho does that nowadays?

nWho would save a stranger by spending a miracle medicine?

nNo one!

nBut the Ye Family did.

nThat person was extremely happy so he gifted the Golden Tower to the Ye Family. He also said at that time that if someone could pass the trial of the ninth floor, he or she will receive a reward that could change the fate of the entire family and might even make the Ye Family the strongest force in the Land of Morning Stars, replacing the Illusionary Spirit Gate.

nHowever, it has been more than five hundred thousand years but no one was able to pass even the trial of the Eighth Floor, let alone the Ninth Floor.

nBut one thing has to be said. The Ye Family benefitted a lot from the Golden Tower. The treasure stored inside the Golden Tower never seemed to end. There seemed to be an endless number of treasures.

nOnly by completing the trial could one obtain those treasures.

nOf course, a person could only enter the Golden Tower two times in their lifetimes.

nThis was Ye Xiao’s first time, and he decided to enter the Golden Tower a second time only if he would have the confidence to pass the trial of the Ninth Floor, which is also the highest floor.

nComing back to the present, Ye Xiao was surrounded by darkness and he could not see anything. He was still confused when he sensed something and immediately turned back while shouting: “Who is there?”

n“Oh, you could actually sense me! How amusing?”

nA surprised voice could be heard from the darkness. There doesn’t seem to be anyone, but the previous voice confirmed to Ye Xiao that someone is definitely present in this darkness.

nHis pupils glowed with green light and darkness seemed to be fading before his eyes. But his own strength was too weak to completely get rid of the darkness in his surroundings.

nHowever, a blurry outline of a person did appear before Ye Xiao’s eyes.

nThe figure hidden in the darkness seemed to be more surprised when Ye Xiao revealed his Eyes of Insight. He spoke: “Those eyes, I could feel that those eyes are dangerous. It is as if those eyes could see through me completely. Unfortunately, your strength is too weak to make use of those eyes. You have given me two surprises in a short time, boy!”

nA chuckle along with four short sentences was heard again.

n“Who are you?” Ye Xiao asked after calming down. He understood very well that whoever this person is, he will not harm him. If this person wanted to harm Ye Xiao, he could have done this the moment Ye Xiao appeared here.

n“Who am I?” The blurry figure again chuckled and then suddenly became serious. He said: “The current you is not qualified to know the ‘true’ me. For now, you can just call me the Spirit of Golden Tower. Well, in a sense, I AM the spirit of Golden Tower.”

n“Now, let’s not waste our time any longer. Should we start the trial of the First Floor?”

nYe Xiao wanted to know more about this figure who called himself the in-a-sense spirit of Golden Tower. It also meant that this person is not the Spirit of Golden Tower, but is acting as one. Most importantly, the current Ye Xiao was not qualified to know the true self of this person.

nWhat made Ye Xiao admire this person was the fact that even after knowing that his eyes could see through everything, this person did not show any interest toward his eyes. He was just surprised.

nSince this person wanted Ye Xiao to start the trial, and Ye Xiao himself wants that, he nodded and agreed.

nThe blurry figure then spoke: “Normally, everyone would have the same trial on each floor. However, since you have attracted my attention deeply, I’ll change your trial and make it a worthwhile adventure for you.”

n“Your first trial will be called . Your task is to explore the Lost Forest of the Red Moon. Don’t worry, you will not be alone. A few more people will be there to accompany you.”

nAs the blurry figure completed his words, he did not stop for Ye Xiao to react, he waved his hand, and everything bit of darkness before Ye Xiao disappeared. Now, Ye Xiao was standing in an entirely new environment.

nVery soon, he felt a surge of information appearing in his mind. From the information, he got to know a few things about this place.

nThe information was mainly about two cities called Green Cloud City and Light Rain City.

nGreen Cloud City and Light Rain City were established by two people called Lu Sha and Lei Guang.

nCurrently, these two people were meeting for a ‘business’ and Ye Xiao was also present as the ‘provider’ of the map to the Lost Forest of Red Moon.

n“Lu Sha, I have a ‘business’ here that I want to talk to you about.” Lei Guang went straight to the point.

nYe Xiao could see that Lu Sha and Lei Guang only had the strength of Chaos Dust Realm.

n“Business? Do you need to bring so many people in order to discuss business?” Lu Sha said with a face full of anger.

n“Because I know you will definitely agree to this deal. If you’re interested, come up!” After Lei Guang finished his sentence with complete confidence, he soared into the sky.

nHearing these words, Lu Sha hesitated for a moment before following behind.

nHe was also a cultivator at the Chaos Dust Realm. Even though he had never competed with Lei Guang before, he was confident that he could fight him on equal terms.

nThe two of them flew high in the sky, and then, Lei Guang said in a low voice, “Lu Sha, I have a map here of the Lost Forest of Red Moon. Are you interested to explore the forest?”

n“Lost Forest of Red Moon?”

nLu Sha had heard of this power before, but he doubted Lei Guang’s words.

nAnd it was at this moment Ye Xiao again received new information, and this time, it was incomplete information. But this information at least let Ye Xiao learn that the Red Moon was not the name of a place or a moon hanging in the sky, but the name of a powerful force.

n“That’s right, Lost Forest of Red Moon, this is the Treasure Map. This time, I have brought a person with me to prepare for an adventure. If you are interested, we can cooperate.” Lei Guang went straight to the point.

n“Cooperate? You actually want to work with me?”

nLu Sha was a little surprised, “Since City Lord Lei has that intention, why don’t you state your condition first?”

n“I just want you to give me a thousand Soul Crystals!” Lei Guang replied without thinking.

nThe Green Cloud City Lord still had some doubts in his heart, but if it was really the Lost Forest of Red Moon, paying this price was definitely worth it. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

nUnfortunately, Ye Xiao had no idea what the Soul Crystal is. Since he had no idea, he ignored this problem for the time being.

n“Alright, then I’ll believe you this once. Here are a thousand Soul Crystals.” Lu Sha, the City Lord of Green Cloud City, took out a cloth bag from his spatial ring and threw it over.

n“My god, you actually have so many Soul Crystals.” Lei Guang’s eyes lit up. He did not expect Lu Sha to really be so rich.

nTheir expression told Ye Xiao how valuable these so-called Soul Crystals actually are, but he could not ask anything about these crystals from these people. It is mainly because, in the eyes of Lei Guang, Ye Xiao was a mysterious person who sold him the map to the Lost Forest of Red Moon. And also that Ye Xiao is a very knowledgeable person.

n“Now, can you tell me where the Lost Forest of Red Moon is? If you scam me, don’t even think about walking out of the Green Cloud City today!” Lu Sha said with a gloomy face.

n“Everyone knows the character of I, Lei Guang. Take a look at this Treasure Map.” Without saying a word, Lei Guang threw the Treasure Map over.

nLu Sha received it and looked, but could only decipher the words Lost Forest of Red Moon. As for the specific location, he still did not understand.
