Li Yuan read the little fox's information and was a little surprised.

He glanced at the one fox tail on the little fox's back and felt that it didn't live up to its name.

But then, his focus shifted to something else.

"Can this little fox actually sense luck?"

"But why did you come to me? If you want to rely on someone, go to Xiao Huo. He is the protagonist after all."

Li Yuan was thoughtful and wondered whether it was the pagoda or the system that attracted it here.

Picking it up from the neck, he put the fox's face in front of his own and looked at it.

Seeing its curious eyes that had contained a hint of attachment, Li Yuan considered what to do with it.

Finally, he made a decision.

"Let's just keep it as a pet for now."

"It's also good to have someone else while I'm stuck here, even if it is only a pet."

With his strength inside the range of pagoda, he wasn't afraid that the little fox would pose any threat to him.

Even if it wanted to leave, Li Yuan would be able to notice it immediately.

With this in mind, he put the little fox on his lap and started petting it.

Even he had to admit that its fut was very soft, very suitable for a pet.

In the Dark Mirror Forest, while the cultivators of the Sun Empire were working together to explore the various places marked on the mysterious map, a lone cultivator walked through the forest.

He had black hair and black eyes and looked very ordinary.

If anyone knew his true identity however, they would be surprised.

This man was Emperor Wu, the Emperor of the Sun Empire, who had hidden his identity and came to the Dark Mirror Forest under disguise.

Compared to Mu Bingyuan, Emperor Wu was very ambitious.

Rather than caring about the Empire, his biggest worry was about breaking through the Soul Formation Realm and extending his lifespan.

"As long as I break through, my lifespan will increase by more than 500 years."

"In front of such a long life, a little Sun Empire is nothing?"

While walking through the forest, he thought silently.

Even though he was young and had many years left to live, he had previously seen his own father run out of lifespan despite his strong strength.

This made him understand that in front of death, the position of Emperor was worthless.

Emperor Wu shuttled quietly through the forest, when suddenly, he felt a throbbing in his heart.

He turned his head and looked towards the north.

Emperor Wu could sense that there was something summoning him in that direction.

This feeling was very strange, but as a cultivator, Emperor Wu trusted his instincts.

He didn't hesitate and confidently flew towards that direction.

About half an hour later, Emperor Wu arrived in front of a cave at the side of a hill.

The cave very well hidden, with various rocks and plants blocking its entrance.

But all of these things could not stop him.

He waved his hands and a golden spear appeared.

With a move of his hand, the golden spear cut right through all the rocks and plants as if they were tofu.

Then, he didn't wait and entered the cave.

After passing through a narrow passage, the cave widened and Emperor Wu arrived at a large space.

This place was completely empty, with only an underground small lake at its center.

Emperor Wu felt that the sense of summoning came right from this lake.

He didn't immediately explore, but stood still for a bit, evaluating the situation.

But perhaps because someone entered the cave, or because what summoned Emperor Wu here noticed him, a red light appeared on the bottom of the lake.

In a blink of an eye, this red light spread throughout this place, illuminating the dark cave.

At an extremely fast speed, a red light passed through the bottom of the lake, to its top, then flew out of it.

"Wha-what is this?"

It was only now that Emperor Wu found out that inside this strange red light, there was an object.

It was large bow, completely red in color, with some lines on it that resembled human veins.

What shocked Emperor Wu however was not this, but that a figure floated on top of this bow.

It was a transparent figure, with the body and head of a human, but Emperor Wu could sense that it was not actually a human.

Its eyes glowed with a red glint, as it stared straight at Emperor Wu and spoke up.

"Are you the one that woke me up?"

It asked in a hoarse voice.

Emperor Wu didn't answer immediately but clutched the golden spear in his hand.

This golden spear was a high-grade Divine Weapon and the reason why he came here so confidently without worrying about the danger.

But now, faced with this strange transparent figure, Emperor Wu felt that even with this spear, there was no way he could fight against it.

"Your Excellency, I didn't know that you were retreating here."

"I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Emperor Wu lowered his head and said respectfully.

When his life was in danger, his previous majesty as the Emperor disappeared.

The transparent figure looked at Emperor Wu and laughed strangely.

"Hehehehe."

An eerie laugh resounded through the cave, as the bow flew at the speed of light towards Emperor Wu.

***

A few hours later, Emperor Wu walked out of the cave.

Compared to before, Emperor Wu's cultivation had somewhat improved and his eyes were filled with calmness and confidence.

"Sure enough, this is my opportunity to break through."

As he muttered this, he looked at the transparent figure staying inside his body.

According to this figure, he was a Saint cultivator that lived hundreds of years ago.

Unfortunately, after an accident, he could only survive by abandoning his physical body.

This meant that despite his high realm, the figure could only use his full strength for a few seconds at most.

For so many years, he had hidden inside this cave, waiting for the destined person to come and help him recover his physical body.

Emperor Wu originally didn't believe his words, but when the transparent figure gave him a powerful cultivation technique and various spells that he had never heard of, he became convinced.

Finally, he made a deal with the transparent figure.

Emperor Wu would help him recover, while the figure would guide him in his cultivation.

Just as Emperor Wu was thinking, an ordinary young man flew right above his head.

The young man had an average appearance and the cultivation of Foundation Building.

A pair of fire wings were on his back, increasing his speed.

With Emperor Wu's cultivation, he wouldn't care about him, but the soul in his body spoke up.

"Fellow Taoist, there is a soul of a Saint on the body of this kid."

"As long as you devour it, you can break through the Soul Formation Realm."

The transparent figure in his body whispered with a hint of temptation.

Emperor Wu heard his words and was stunned, but then became excited.

Glancing at the flying figure of the young man, his eyes turned red and he clutched the golden spear in his hand.

"Boy, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your bad luck."

He muttered and chased after him.
