Chapter 128: Tyler Breaks Xue’s Heart
Was Jenny too confident in his lack of control?
Yes! That’s the only reason why she believed she could make a vow about his unborn child.
But that didn’t mean she genuinely saw Tyler as her partner. So when Tyler asked her to make such a vow, she disagreed.
"Absolutely not! You and I don’t love each other. It will not take you long to reach Spiritual Ascendance Realm."
"After that, wouldn’t you be able to impregnate me? I don’t care if I fall in love with you or not, but I don’t want to bear a child."
Jenny shook her head.
"I can only make this vow. I will not harm your child if you manage to impregnate me before reaching the Spiritual Ascendance Realm."
When she made that decision, she saw his expression become a bit disgusted and angry.
But at the same time, he lowered his head as if he were thinking deeply.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t read his mind or emotions. Otherwise, she would know he was just acting.
This was exactly what he wanted.
He knew Jenny wasn’t underestimating his control. He couldn’t genuinely control that technique.
He could use all three techniques, but during sex, his dual cultivation would automatically activate.
But he was trying to change it all.
If he managed to form a system, connected to his soul, that could control every part of his body, he could easily control that technique as well.
Although there was a precedent that might not succeed due to its direct connection to the tower, he still believed in himself.
He didn’t need this technique to survive. He just needed it to cultivate.
Jenny folded her hands and continued.
"I know it might sound bad from your perspective, but I can maintain my ability to give birth forever."
"So, in the future, if we truly fall in love with each other, I can be the mother of your child."
"Until then, I will just absorb your Yang Energy even if we did have normal sex after you reach the Spiritual Ascendance Realm."
Hearing that, Tyler didn’t immediately reply. Instead, he looked away, pretending to think for a moment.
Of course, he was thinking about something else.
’Should I use this moment to take another step? This might be the perfect chance to open her heart.’
Then, he paused.
’No, this is not the right time. Every wound needs time to heal. They have been living in this tower for billions.’
’Right now, I am one hundred percent sure that their mind is full of dual cultivation and only dual cultivation.’
’They don’t see partners, they don’t see love, they don’t see others as competitors, they just want to dual cultivate and maybe control over me.’
He released a deep breath.
’I need to take my time. I am only at the Soul Sublimation Realm. The second floor doesn’t open until I reach the Law Creation Realm.’
He turned around and looked at Jenny with a serious gaze.
"Yes, as long as you make that oath, I will give you my trust. In fact, if you can make that oath, I hope you can leave this tower."
"You don’t have to help Elena and Daisy. You can just do your own thing, but if you can, help them out!"
Hearing his words, Jenny snorted.
"Humph! Even now, you just want me to take care of those women!"
Tyler bitterly smiled and shook his head.
"Do you know what I fear the most after finding out the truth? It’s the fear of losing people around me."
His eyes showed a serious look as he continued.
"I don’t think I will die so easily. Even death might just be a true beginning for me."
"Resurrection is also possible. But in this world, resurrection must be taboo as it breaks the rules of Heaven."
"So, I would’ve to defeat Heaven before I can resurrect."
Hearing his words, Jenny asked.
"So, you fear Heaven?"
Tyler hurriedly waved his hand.
"What are you talking about? How can I fear something so silly as Heaven? If it is a neutral Heaven, I will just beat it once and resurrect my people."
"If it is a bad Heaven, I will just destroy it and replace it with another. I don’t fear Heaven. As long as I can continue on my Sword Path, there is nothing that I can’t cut."
When he said that, his Invincible Sword Intent trembled, releasing a small hum of satisfaction.
Jenny’s lips twitched.
She knew Tyler wasn’t bragging, and that’s what’s so scary about him.
For Swordsman, Belief was a strong weapon, almost their source of power. But just belief wouldn’t be enough.
One would also need to get stronger. That’s not a problem for Tyler as he was always getting stronger.
In other words, the stronger he got, the more powerful his Invincible Sword Intent became.
One day, he could truly cut Heaven apart.
Because Tyler’s belief was strong and high, he would be unstoppable in the future.
Putting aside her thoughts, she asked.
"What are you worried about then?"
"It’s a feeling of being alone. Just like you and any other woman in this tower. Just the feeling of being separated for a hundred years destroys my heart."
"It’s a good thing that all of you are virgins and the strongest of your Era; otherwise, I couldn’t even imagine how you didn’t kill yourself in this tower."
Hearing his words, Jenny froze for a moment and snorted.
"Humph! You are too emotional. The more emotional you become, the weaker your swordsmanship will be."
Tyler shook his head.
"That’s the misconception you have. Even my teacher is the same. She chose to follow the path of Blood Sword, thinking emotions are a burden."
"But the truth is she never relied on her swordsmanship. Although she taught me swordsmanship, I think she has a great misconception about swords."
"When choosing swordsmanship, the only thing that makes a swordsman weaker is choosing something else over swordsmanship."
"It’s like giving a technique to an invincible person. The person is already invincible, but technique can have flaws."
"That means even with its invincibility, it can now be killed. If she had just decided to sever her emotions for swordsmanship, I don’t think she would’ve stopped at her peak."
"The same thing goes for emotions. If a swordsman has strong emotions, he will use that sword to protect those emotions."
"That gives him strength; that makes his belief strong."
At this moment, Tyler knew his teacher was hearing him, but he didn’t care. In fact, he wanted her to know this.
"When a swordsman prioritizes anything else over his swordsmanship, that is when he loses the core of Sword Dao."
"A swordsman is truly strong when a sword is his only weapon."
He said.
He raised his hand, and the light particles began flickering and glimmering above his palm, slowly forming a long blade.
As he held the hilt of this sword, he looked at Jenny and released his Invincible Sword Intent.
The blue energy emerged from his body, overshadowing the yellow light of the sword, turning it blue as Tyler spoke.
"No matter what element I cultivate, no matter what technique I create, my sword will always be my strength."
"Because I am a Swordsman."
At first, Tyler wasn’t sure if he wanted to become a pure swordsman. He felt like there were too many restrictions.
So, when he found out about Xue’s Blood Sword, he strengthened his Sword Belief.
But upon awakening his Invincible Sword Intent, he realized something.
As long as his heart followed swordsmanship, it didn’t matter what element or power he used.
It could be soul power, it could be the Destruction Dao, it could even be Yin-Yang Elements.
It wasn’t these powers improving his swordsmanship.
No, no, no! That wasn’t the case. Even Jenny didn’t realize it before.
Only when she saw his sword turning blue did she realize the truth.
It was his swordsmanship improving his abilities.
This was exactly the opposite of what she knew about Xue, and she knew Xue was currently the strongest swordswoman.
But the fact that Xue had this entirely wrong the whole time almost made her laugh.
’I can’t laugh. I can’t laugh. I have trained myself to never laugh in a situation like this.’
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
Eventually, she couldn’t control herself and started laughing like crazy.
Tyler felt speechless at her laughter.
Now, he could only pray that his teacher wouldn’t get angry at him.
"Puff!"
On the Seventh Floor, Xue’s real body was listening to the entire conversation and even looking at them.
When she realized the truth, she couldn’t help but spit out a lot of blood.
In an instant, her Sword Dao, which she cultivated for nearly billions of years, shattered like a bud.
But before she could think of anything, Tyler continued.
"If you are laughing at my teacher, you will regret it. Even if she took the wrong path, you can not deny her belief and talent."
"She just has to hold the sword more dearly this time and start over."
