"Teacher, can you tell me why you wanted to stop that blood orb?"

Tyler asked as soon as he entered the room.

"Didn’t you know before? Otherwise, there was no need to act like that."

A snort rang in his head.

Hearing her tone, Tyler embarrassedly chuckled. It seemed like his act of falling only fooled Elena and others.

It couldn’t fool his teacher and probably the Fire Empress.

"Sorry, teacher!"

Tyler apologized without much hesitation.

"Humph! That act of yours can become a downfall for all of us. Do you know what kind of Dimensional God that was?"

Murong Xue asked.

"I guess Mephisto."

Tyler answered. In fact, the moment that hellfire appeared, he believed it was Mephisto.

"Wait, how did you know?"

Now, it was his teacher’s turn to be astonished. After all, she truly didn’t expect him to know about the dimensional god.

"I guessed. That was Hellfire, wasn’t it?"

Tyler asked.

"I don’t know where you get this information from, but you are right. That was Mephisto’s Hellfire."

"Although it is not his main power, its abilities are not weaker than those of the so-called Fire Empress."

"Humph!"

As soon as she said that, a loud snort rang in his head.

But his teacher ignored her and continued.

"I don’t know why you made that move, but what you did is going to help Mephisto in the future."

"Wait, that doesn’t make sense. I saw the dark red energy disappear from his body. So, how can Mephisto influence him?"

"Because of the bloodline!"

"Bloodline? Wait, isn’t that something only high-level cultivators can achieve?"

"How do you think bloodlines are formed?"

"Teacher, how would I know?"

Tyler helplessly sighed. He could feel the resentment in her voice, but he didn’t know he was helping Mephisto.

"Bloodlines are formed when the Will of a person meets the true essence of mana. Mephisto’s energy surpasses the true essence."

"So when that resentment was merged with that energy, a new bloodline was formed. More importantly, it was formed from Mephisto’s energy."

"Although it wouldn’t make the bloodline as powerful as Mephisto’s true powers, it would give people a chance to reach his level of strength."

Hearing that, Tyler asked.

"Isn’t that what he wanted? After all, his resentment was formed because of the limit he suffered."

"Humph! I have seen people with more ill fate than him. I have seen people doing more heaven-defying acts than him."

"He is nothing special, but with that bloodline, he can grow stronger. If he grows stronger, he is not a problem, but Mephisto is."

Tyler paused for a moment. He thought of several scenarios and asked.

"Is it because Mephisto can devour him?"

Murong Xue paused for a moment.

"Yes, Mephisto can devour him once he reaches the limit of this universe. Upon devouring him, Mephisto will grow stronger than us."

"Remember, although all of us come from different eras, we all have reached the peak of this universe."

"Our strength differs due to our era. Mephisto became a Dimensional God during the second cosmic year."

"That was the same cosmic year when many Dimensional Gods came to existence."

"At our peak, Mephisto and I will be equal, but now he has a chance to surpass me."

Hearing that, Tyler waved his hand.

"Then, this is not a problem. Not to mention, your swordsmanship is already evolving. So, even if he improves, you can catch up to him."

"In the worst-case scenario, if I am alive by the time that happens, you can dual cultivate with me and get stronger."

"Don’t forget, teacher, dual cultivation with me won’t improve your realm, but it will help you hear that Heavenly sound."

"Sound of Dao Rhythm!"

Murong Xue coldly uttered those words.

"That’s right! That’s exactly what you and other women in the tower need. I think their resentment is right."

"If this tower had just chosen the best dual cultivator from previous cosmic years, you would’ve already made progress."

Tyler continued.

There was a deep silence in the room. This time, the Fire Empress spoke.

"You are wrong."

"Huh? How am I wrong? If you have already reached the peak of cultivation in this universe, how can dual cultivation still help you?"

"That’s the thing! Why do you think nine of us chose to stay in this wretched tower for so long if we knew dual cultivation couldn’t improve our realm?"

At this moment, the Fire Empress’s voice got colder as she continued.

"If it were just for dual cultivation, we would’ve forced this tower a long time ago, but it kept dragging us down with its promises."

"That is the realm beyond the limits of this universe. That is the strength of its previous user."

"That’s the realm we are trying to reach, and we can only reach that realm if we cultivate under the Sound of Dao Rhythm."

"Because we don’t need energy, we need enlightenment."

Hearing that, Tyler spoke.

"That’s what I’m saying. The Sound of Dao Rhythm is related to the Harmony of Nine Phoenixes. You could just dual cultivate with anyone with this technique."

"Tyler, what’s she trying to say is that enlightenment will only work if there is prevalent knowledge."

"We don’t know what path we should take, and we don’t know how long it will take. And your existence only made things worse."

"The Sound of Dao Rhythm will continue as long as two people dual cultivate, but with your physique, you will not be able to dual cultivate for long."

"So, it wanted to find people with powerful and multiple Yang physiques so that they can withstand a long-term dual cultivation."

"The longer the enlightenment, the clearer our path. Do you know why the Fire Empress is so resentful towards you?"

Hearing that, Tyler replied.

"How is that my fault? Teacher, you need to understand. I didn’t ask for this tower."

"But you merged with it, didn’t you? You are its owner."

"Owner without any rights!"

"Still an owner!"

"Teacher, I don’t want to argue with you about this topic. So, let’s just skip it!"

"No, you need to understand the consequences of your choices. Tyler, your choice will affect us."

"I understand your stubborn attitude, but the Fire Empress also has her pride. So, I need you two to put away that pride and work together."

"Only this way can you truly help us. As you said, it is none of your fault, but don’t you want one of the most gorgeous and strongest women to be your wife?"

"I’ve already seen through your lustful nature. So, don’t try to deny this!"

Hearing his teacher’s words, Tyler felt flustered for the first time.

It was true. He did want Harem. It was probably a dream for any transmigrated cultivators.

Why harem?

Because cultivation would be too lonely. That’s why cultivation novels often are Harem novels.

Without multiple women, the journey would be too lonely.

And since he did have nine women, why not accept them?

After a month of sword training, he realized his previous behavior was slightly too childish.

Holding resentment towards something that had only benefited him was wrong. He didn’t understand it before.

It was only after seeing the pain and resentment of Porty that he realized just how blessed he was.

Although his thoughts were hidden, his expressions weren’t.

So, his teacher immediately took this opportunity to talk about his previous.

His Pride!

He could ask the Fire Empress for a binding vow. As long as it was used, he could confidently cultivate.

But his pride stopped him.

It had only been a month.

The other protagonists could wait tens of years before their non-stop rise. Why couldn’t he?

Was he any less than them?

His pride was truly nonsensical, but it existed. So, Murong Xue had no choice but to take things into her hands.

Unfortunately, she didn’t realize one thing.
