Chapter 107: Xue’s Thoughts
Puff!
Suddenly, the veins on his legs started popping, and a large amount of blood gushed out, covering the ground.
Tyler hissed, not letting out a scream as he channeled his mana into his legs. At the same time, he also took out two Healing Pills and took them.
Those pills started their work immediately, but even so, the veins in his legs were completely damaged.
If he didn’t get a proper rest, his leg would need amputation.
Thinking about it, he quickly entered the Immemorial Paragon Tower’s first floor and fell on his butt.
At this moment, he raised his head and saw a disappointed look on his teacher’s eyes.
He gulped. Tyler didn’t understand why he had disappointed his teacher. Didn’t he awaken the Sword Intent?
Shouldn’t she be happy that he awakened Sword Intent? Why did she look so disappointed?
"Teacher, did I do something wrong?" He cautiously asked.
"Tell me something! If the lives of Elena and Alfred matter so much to you, don’t you think your life also matters to them?"
Xue released a deep sigh and asked.
"But teacher..."
"You want to say you will not die. Then tell me one thing..."
At this moment, a sword suddenly appeared in front of his throat.
Xue stared at him with killing intent and asked.
"I know you think I will not kill you, and yes, I will not kill you. But if I were your enemy and I wanted to kill you, even at the cost of my life, do you think you would live?"
Feeling the coldness of her sword, Tyler gulped heavily.
Although he was sure his teacher wouldn’t kill him, she also made a good point. He couldn’t be sure whether someone was going to kill him or not.
Looking at his expression, Xue continued.
"Just before your dual cultivation, even Jenny hated you. You have to understand, Tyler. Unlike the two women on the eighth and ninth floors, or me, everyone else had chosen to enter the tower."
"In their eyes, you are nothing but a disgrace to their patience. You have absolutely zero talent in dual cultivation. On top of that, you also don’t like dual cultivation."
"They entered this tower because they couldn’t find a path ahead. This tower was their only lifeline, and you came here, merging with this tower, declaring your sovereignty."
"It doesn’t matter whether you chose this or not. You are its owner. Every Karma that this tower holds belongs to you."
"In this kind of situation, you are not showing any awe for your own life. As your teacher, I am disappointed, Tyler."
"If you keep this kind of attitude, I will sever our student-teacher relationship."
Hearing her words, Tyler fell into contemplation.
He realized the truth. Those women waited for more than one cosmic year. A single cosmic year could be more than ten billion years.
So, it was understandable that they would hate him to his bones. After all, he had one job.
To become their dual cultivation partner. For this alone, they were even willing to share him.
This wasn’t a choice but a condition, and they accepted this condition the moment they entered the tower.
At this moment, he understood Jenny’s rage. It made sense for her to be so angry towards him.
Not only did he lack talent for dual cultivation, but he was also actively trying to get more women.
Considering how the Harmony of Nine Phoenixes worked, this was bound to create contradictions between him and those women.
He was sure he wouldn’t die, but this assurance came from different factors. Until this moment, he didn’t count those women in those factors.
He didn’t think they would want to die with him, because they chose the path of dual cultivation due to their fear of death.
After all, the tower could survive the collapse of the universe; they couldn’t.
Their lifespan was truly unlimited, but that didn’t make them unkillable.
"I’m sorry, teacher!"
Tyler lowered his head and apologized.
His apology surprised Xue. She knew what kind of person Tyler was. For him to apologize so easily and so frankly, it could only mean one thing.
He realized the truth. If he couldn’t satisfy those women, they could choose to die with him.
Xue sighed and nodded.
"I know you have some anger towards the arrangement of your life and fate of being a dual cultivator, but sometimes we can’t choose everything."
"We will be forced to make a choice, and that’s how life is. I could’ve chosen a completely different type of swordsmanship."
"But my path was full of blood, so I chose the path of Blood Swordsmanship. Your path is full of dual cultivation."
"Whether you want to admit it or not, you have to become a powerful dual cultivator. The gap between Jenny and the one on the second floor is bigger than the gap between a Grandmaster and a Lord."
"This gap is created by the death of the universe and its rebirth. Every time it dies, it loses some of its Primordial Chaos Energy."
"The one on the second floor doesn’t come from the eighth cosmic year. She comes from the seventh."
"During the eighth cosmic year, there weren’t a lot of people who reached the peak of the universe, especially not a virgin female."
"Jenny was able to do that because of her talent and luck. You are also very lucky, but there will always be a limit to what you can achieve."
At this moment, Xue paused as her expression drastically changed.
Tyler wasn’t looking at her, so he didn’t notice it as she quickly changed her expression back to normal and continued.
"This era is bound to be chaotic. That guy has marked the era of chaos. It will either be the end of this universe as a whole, or it will be its new rebirth."
"It depends on you, Tyler. You are the only one with the legacy, mindset, and talent to bring rebirth to this universe."
"So, your life is very important. Don’t casually throw it away!"
Tyler kept his head down while nodding.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Xue saw through his sadness and smiled.
"Don’t worry, you still have a lot of time. The second floor won’t open until you reach Law Creation Realm."
"As long as you reach the Fourth Stage of True Dragon Transformation Technique, your body will be several times better for dual cultivation."
"On top of that, you also know about the Three Yang Spirit Body. Remember, Tyler, dual cultivation is just a transaction for them."
"You don’t have to involve your emotions. You just have to give your best"
Hearing that, Tyler raised his head and smirked.
"Teacher, why do I feel like you are pushing me towards the dual cultivation route?"
His words made Xue speechless as she slightly blushed and shouted.
"Don’t forget, even without me, there are still eight women in the tower. You have already shared your Yang Origin with two women."
"If you don’t focus on dual cultivation, you will not be able to improve the Harmony of Nine Phoenixes Technique."
"Without its improvement, you will face the wraith of the woman on the Ninth Floor."
At this moment, Xue’s expression got serious as she continued.
"Don’t underestimate her! She is the one who sealed the Four Realms of the Universe."
"She is the one who made sure people from the upper realms can not arbitrarily harm the people from the lower realm."
"She is from the first cosmic year. This is the tenth cosmic year. Until now, nobody has ever been able to break her seal, NOBODY!"
Gulp!
Tyler heavily swallowed.
At this moment, he understood why his teacher tried to push him towards dual cultivation.
He understood the ironclad rule of the universe.
Upon reaching a certain realm, one could transcend into the higher realm. But after reaching the higher realm, one can’t descend into the lower realm without sealing their cultivation.
And, if they broke this rule, their cultivation would be destroyed permanently. This was a rule set in the universe. Nobody knows who set it.
Only now, Tyler realized the one who made this rule was the one present on the top floor of the tower.
At this moment, Tyler suddenly remembered something as he gritted his teeth and asked.
"Teacher, did she also invent the Binding Vow?"
It was just a gut feeling. After all, the binding vow worked more like a technique than just an oath.
Xue gave him a surprised look, which only made his expression darken. She finally nodded.
"Yes, she was the one who made the Binding Vow. She forced the Heavenly Dao into this method, and it has been like that even after nine of its rebirths."
"Tyler, you must never underestimate the women in the tower. Every single one of them is a virgin for two reasons."
Her expression darkened as she continued.
"Either they are extremely talented, or they are extremely ruthless."
Hearing that, Tyler remarked.
"Or, both!"
